changing maps

i managed some time ago to get npcs to move, i mostly have the whole switch thing down now.

my problem is, it stops working if i try and get a little more advanced.

what i want to do is this:

i have a character blocking a path, and when spoken to i would like him to say his thing, and then move up one and then left and turn back to face the player.

this will work if that is it. but i would like to change what he says and turn the event move off.

my npc is set up like this, and i have played with it forever but it won't work for me.

if i add everything past the line, then then the npc will only move up, and not the rest of the command. so is this a bug in the program, or am i doing something wrong?

thanks for your help in advance.
