Portuguese.  

[Paidi tou Selini]

Oh, awesome~ I tried to get a coworker to teach me a bit of Portuguese in my last job but... sadly I've forgotten basically everything over the last year.  

[Psychofish]

Welcome! And I don't think anyone is worried. Would hardly be fair when your English is evidently better than my... anything except English, in anycase.

STAGE 1: Initiative

During the first Round of a skirmish, all participants make an Initiative Roll. The result of this roll determines the order in which all characters will act. An Initiative Roll is only made on a character's first Round of participation in the skirmish, and the resulting Initiative Score is used for the remainder of the skirmish. However, in subsequent Rounds, Initiative Scores may potentially change as a result of different character abilities or situational modifiers. During the first Round of combat, characters also select their Stance immediately before they make their Initiative Roll.

Combat Stances

There are five possible stances which one can take in battle. Unless declared otherwise, it is assumed that any individual will be in the Attack Stance.

Yep! That's how most of us have gotten accustomed to doing things smile  

[Psychofish]

I'm going to go ahead and call defense stance with my initiative, but also want to ask where I am in position to the others. I'm 10' closer to the bandit than the others, but I don't know if that puts me about 10' from them or off in another direction.  

[Rain Yupa]

Rewrote the first few sentences of the post to clarify that you are 10' from the others, that you had 'nearly returned'.

Defense Stance (I can cast on that stance, right?)

Defense Stance (I can cast on that stance, right?)

Yes, you can. The only thing you cannot do in defense stance is make a melee attack (grapple, sword, et cetra) and ranged attack (bow, thrown weapons). Spells are not "attacks" in this regard, even if they do end up causing damage.
