EDIT: The creature readies an action:Move if enemy takes any standard action

Your turn.

[Ditto]

Alright, back at 8 HP and we'll try this again. 5 ft step in front of the door and cast color spray. (I'm stubborn!)

[candycorn]

As you start to cast, you trigger the creature's ready action. It moves South to B6.

[Ditto]

Alright, I can't move-action since I 5 ft stepped and he's out of range for Color Spray, so I will instead Ready an action to 5 ft step closer & Color Spray him if he moves within range on his next turn.

[candycorn]

The action that triggered it was casting the color spray. Therefore, you must complete that action. You cannot ready an action, as you have no standard action left.

[Ditto]

On readying: "Assuming he is still capable of doing so, he continues his actions once you complete your readied action."

I'd contend that I was unable to complete my action (blasting the dragongnome with a color spray) after he moved, so it did not actually happen. Same as if I swung a sword at him and his trigger was 'When Melee attacked' - I now have no target for that swing since he moved out of range, so I cannot complete the action. The 5 ft step I took was before the trigger, so that part stays, preventing me from moving as a move action.

I'd contend that your action was "Casting Color Spray", and that the determination for the targets/area of effect/etc are not determined until the spell's casting is finished.

Source:Here.

Therefore, unless you've completed the spell, you couldn't have announced the area of effect. Therefore, until the spell is completed, the action is simply: Cast Color Spray.

That action is still possible, therefore the ruling stands.

[Ditto]

Alright. I will spend my move action to draw my tanglefoot bag.

[candycorn]

It's action.
