"Huh. Well, I got you to agree on something, at any rate. How about you just leave us out of it and talk about it together, like Shad said. Over a bottle of nice brandy." She glances back at Glarth. "Unless you're gonna pay us to protect you."
Bjorn slowly lowers his weapon and slaps a hand over his face while shaking his head. So this was a lover's tiff all a long. He let's out a sigh, "I'm agreeing with Arogna here. We were paid to deliver and package and I for one want no part in a lovers quarrel. At least not one that comes to blows. If you are willing to talk things through, at least we could help mediate."

"I don't have any gold," Glarth admits with a shrug.
"And I'm not here to talk," Fanger snaps. "I'm here to kill you all."
"Please, you've got to help me," Glarth pleads. "You won't let her kill me will you?"

"If we'd have drunk the brandy instead of deliverin' it, we wouldn't be in this mess now," notes Arogna. "Just sayin'."
Arogna will attack at this point, due to the rat's threat to kill them. Are we back in initiative, and if so, is it the previously rolled initiative (Nat 1 + 1 for Arogna)? Or can she go ahead and attack?
(In my opinion you didn't leave initiative.)

Arogna watches warily, still holding the silvered sword, to see if anybody starts anything.
Muharg will stand between Glarth and Fanger, about 5 feet from the dragonborn “You are NOT killing anyone today young rascal!”

(I'm taking that as a ready action from Arogna and a movement from Muharg.)

If we effectively spent the previous initiative round talking and all have actions available from that, then Arogna has a held action to attack the rat-woman with the silvered shortsword if she moves closer to any party member or Glarth.
As the situation seems to escalate again, Bjorn would watch them warily and and makes ready to jump in if things escalate.
Bjorn will hold action to grapple Fanger if things escalate.

Muharg is also readying a grapple in Fanger tries to attack.

I hope you don't both manage that, it'll be hard for Arogna to find a place to stab.
Shad will try to shove Glarth back into his house and pull the door closed: Strength 5. "Please stay inside," he will say and turn toward Fanger.

Fanger is first in initiative order, isn't she? Did she decide not to take an action and the party is up? I think that's what the hesitancy here is. Or was her jump on Bjorn her action and it's the parties turn now? If so, Qinfaren may go with casting a spell to try and hold Fanger in place.
Shad tries to push Glarth, the heavy dragonborn, back inside his home. However, Shad is unable to summon the strength to push him.

"If you're not gonna talk, you'd better leave now," Arogna growls to Fanger. "Last warning."
Arogna's attack is readied if Fanger moves any closer. Is this therefore able to happen at the start of her movement, or will she be able to complete a turn first including an attack?
Qinfaren sighs. Even someone as peaceful as he is can see how this is going to turn out. Fanger is set on fighting.
He focuses on the mistletoe on his staff, moves his hand like wriggling worms and speaks under his breath.
(Casts Entangle DC 14 Strength or restrained)
Shad huffs and puffs but can't push the dragonborn. He looks over his shoulder to see if Fanger is moving toward them. "You'll be safer inside," he says trying to be persuasive: 25.
He is readies himself to cast Toll the Dead if Fanger approaches.

(Strength: 17)
Fanger is about to move, but then weeds and vines sprout of ground wrapping their way around her. She struggles against their bounds, but the plants are too quick and too strong. She becomes restrained in their grasp.
(Strength: 13)
However, she still continues to struggle against the plants in attempt to escape. Unfortunately, for her, she is unable to escape.

"Nice one, Firbolg!" says Arogna. As Fanger tries to escape the vines, the half-orc leaps forward with an incoherent growl and stabs at her with the silvered shortsword.
BA: Enter Rage
A: Attack with Silvered shortsword on Fanger, advantage from Restrained: 23 to hit, 11 damage
