In your first mission as a Pathfinder agent, the head of the Grand Lodge sends you on a number of missions throughout the metropolis of Absalom, pitting you against traps,thieves, and even an unruly devil, all in the pursuit of knowledge.
Harper slices a Kobold, dropping it, but Xavier misses.
Vermin, the Kobolds don't seem to be able to understand you at all. They keep chanting, almost ritualistically: "Karutz dis faroo spakspak!"

Attacks H4.

1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Seems he is not used to fighting smaller foes and his blows are consistently high.

Fung rolls over the table, landing in H4 with a stepping front kick to the little lizardman's chest! Storm rolls across the hills!

Vermin looks sad as the last Kobold drops. They were just little lizard guys. he pouts.

The last kobold drops to the ground after Fung's attack.

Vermin, I can take a look and try to make sure that they'll pull through. They won't wake up in time to hassle us again, but I guess we were kind of horning in on their territory. Fung pulls out a rather large pouch, simultaneously indicating the nook in the NE corner, Harper, Xavier, you guys might want to check out the statue I saw over there. Looks like maybe it's important.
If Vermin gives the ok, Fung begins to administer some aid on the little monsters, stabilizing them. Take 10 on Heal checks to stabilize, since we aren't threatened. See if any are beyond my ability to help.
EDIT: Oh, is there still a threat in the room?

Griff will delay for now. He doesn't see any danger and really doesn't feel like helping the little lizardfolk right now.
Stabilizing kobolds is one thing, but still something else that should be done in order
Next round is:
Harper
Vermin
Xavier
Luccinus
Fung
On delay:
Griff

Luccinus regards the bodies around him and then his morning star... clearly a bit disappointed. He makes several slow experimental swings and then helps the others search the room and statue.

*I double move towards the well (I am guessing near the statue?) with my scimitar at ready*
Harper, you moved to F4 with a single move. From there you can see the hallway in the back. Updated the map. For your second move action, can you let me know the path you want to take?

Up to F3 & then straight left (E3-C3). Stopping at C3.

The new map does not show my last move. Vermin should be in F1. And with his darkvision he should be able to see the entire room.
After Harper moves in Vermin follows but on the other wall. Likely a single move to the far wall What does he see?
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Vermin and Harper move in, and Vermin gets close enough to the well to take a look. The well is old, but not in extremely poor conditions. You notice a breeze coming up from the well that breaks into the stuffy air in the room.

Vermin should have a standard left. He will search the well.
Feeling the breeze coming from the well, Vermin is drawn over to it and looks into it.
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
After Vermin's turn, A small creature jumps from the statue out into D1, and casts a spell.
From the creature's hands a wave of sparkling colors fly out towards Vermin and Harper. cone originating at the wall, between C1 and D1, extending down and left.
Vermin's Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Harper's Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Harper and Vermin both feel a bit woozy for a fraction of a second, but their mettle lets them stay conscious and fight on!
The creature looks humanoid, and half it's skin is currently changing colors. The extremities are the same color of the statue's stone, while his torso and heads are starting to turn a hue of blue. On his belt, you see a katana slung in its scabbard.
Xavier, Lucc, Fung, unless Griff wants to come off delay

If I can hear what's going on, I'll take out my crossbow and move to F4 (or G5 if I can't move there).
Also, do I get this check from hearing the spell?

yeah, you can Spellcraft verbal components. Griff comes into initiative, so Xavier->Lucc->Fung next

Take it down quickly and try not to bunch together. With that spell, it can take us all at once if we let it.

Xavier hurries forward and sees the creature. Hearing Griff's warning he doesn't hesitate, casting a color spray of his own.
Move to F2, cast Color spray on corner of E and F2 - should mostly hit the wall, but will hit the creature and avoid my peers.

Can I 5 foot step into E2, or do I need to take 10' of movement?

Fung, sure. The first diagonal you move in a turn is always 5'
Luccinus moves to H1. (assuming he readies an attack if it goes by him?)

Vermin looks pleased at all the pretty lights. Ohhh, pretty. He intones, maybe not understanding that he has been attacked.

Fung, scoots up, sliding his feet close to the ground (taking his 5' step into E20), then rolls his arms like a windmill, Dust devil spins and thrusts.

Harper moves to D2 to allow Vermy access (though for a minute thought about blocking the big guy for the sake of humor) and attacks in a twirling arc:
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
As Harper moves in front of the statue, the creature looks at him and grins. "Fisshae!" he says in a loud voice.
At that time the statue's mouth lights on fire, and a ball of fire goes hurling towards Harper.
Harper Reflex save (DC13 for half): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3 (take 1)
Harper avoids most of the fire, getting barely singed in the hair near his ears! With ire, he strikes the creature with the scimitar and manages to land a deep cut on its chest.
The creature, now cornered and outnumbered, having failed to knock them unconscious with his spell, throws up his arms into the air.
"WAIT Fledzer surrenders to the intruders! No harm me any longer!"

Good, then. See if you boys can get some information from him. I'll tend to his friends. Fung returns to the nearest kobold and begins to stabilize him/her.

With the blast of fire Vermin's mood swiftly changes. He 5 foot steps close to the creature, obviously angred that it did something to burn his halfling friend. You attacked us! He bellows.
To help with the intimidation Vermin uses a swift action to enlarge, taking up all of B1, B2, C1, C2, and likely squeezing some around the statue. By all rights I should kill you where you stand.
Previously large for his species, Vermin now towers over 10' tall and holds an oaken staff the size of a small tree. I will give you one, and only one chance to comply! Drop all you carry now, tells us who, and what you are, and why you are here. If you do not I will cave in your puny skull.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20
You can consider Vermin ready to attack if the creature does anything other than as instructed.
Ohh, A nat 20. I love it when it comes together. :)
The creature, now cowering in fear, slowly drops the katana to the floor. From a small pack attached to the back of his belt, he pulls out a dagger, two potions and a spellbook. He then stands back up with his hands up.
"I am Fledzer. I, uh, rule these kobolds I guess. I tricked them you see, to think I am a god of fire by using the statue over there. I asked them little creatures to offer me tribute. They gave me these potions and the long green curvy dagger there. I will comply with your adventurer's wishes. Let me go, I'll leave this castle thing!"

Griff will stay where he is, eyeing Vermin while he investigates. He's somewhat frightened of Vermin in his current state (and incredibly intimidating presence).
Since we KNOW it's going to happen, might as well get the rolls out of the way.

Seeing that the creature is complying, after a few seconds Vermin returns to his normal, still pretty large self and gathers the weapons from the ground. Holding the green curvy blade up for all to see he comment. I believe we have found the jade katana the Lady Li wishes returned.
Addressing the creature, but in a calmer and more normal voice he asks I saw you skin changing colors. what manner of creature are you, and how long have you been here? Then Vermin seems to recall something and looks worried. You are not of the undead are you?

To just know whether or not he's undead:
Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
It would be knowledge (local) for him
"No, not undead! I am alive and why I am asking you not to kill me! My kind all change skin color, yes. To survive. I found the kobolds months ago. I followed them up the well. They attacked me and that's when I saw the statue. Statues here... Do things when you know the magic words, yes? I happen to know these words. I use it to scare kobolds. They think I can speak to the "fire god statue". The word I used earlier, 'Fisshae', means 'fire'.
At that same time, the statue bellows out again.
