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.

Vermin watches Xavier swing at the beetle and cringes. Don't hurt the little guy. He's sooo cute.

Verm, can you talk them down? You know with your connection to the natural world? Fung asks frantically.

Griff delays, seeing as he can't do much right now anyway.

Vermin coos the the bugs, and pulling some spoiled food from a pouch on his belt offers it to all three of them.
Wild Vermin Empathy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
I have no idea what the DC is for this of if I get a modifier for offering food. But as a blight druid my wild empathy does indeed work on vermin.
See, they are just hungry. No reason to hurt the little guys. he says hopefully. I'll just put this food over here in the corner while we we search the room.

Vermin, do you want a move action as well?

Does it look like the beetles are backing off?

No place to go without provoking.
Vermin looks sad at the bug and readies his staff. These creatures have a taste for our flesh I fear. They must be put down.

Griff goes off delay and moves to E10, and then pulls out his crossbow.

Can Vermin 5' step to E4?
Fung slides along through his friends' squares, and springs off the doorframe and lands in E2, next to the beetle!
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Hopefully it's enough!
EDIT:
Attack (Defensively, if I still have a Standard Action): 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 4 = -1

I will make a way through!
Harper starts dancing and attacks with his scimitar.
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage:1d4 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Harper makes contact and slices the beetle open, even with the hard corner!

Move to E2 and then D1, and attacks beetle with ALL of his considerable strength (Power attack).
Attack
1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 1 = 7
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
IF confirming
1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 - 1 = 14
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
I'll crack that carapace of yours!
And the swing goes wide... again.

Xavier moves to clear the hallway and prepares an attack should any foes appears.
Move to E6, prepare attack.

Vermin moves to D4 and attacks the bug there.
Quarterstaff: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 101d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9
The beetles move up and try to bite Fung!
atk 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
atk 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
But they both fail their bites.
Vermin, since the beetles moved a bit, I'm going to put you at E4. Something tells me you dont mind the aoo
aoo atk: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Luccinus and Vermin both swing their weapons, but seems like the beetles are awfully spry today.

Griff will just double move to F3.

(out of order but posting availability is sporatic)
Luccinus attacks his beetle using Power Attack.
1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 1 = 16
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Male Human (Tian Shu) PFS #38303-2 monk of the Four Winds 6 (hp 46/46 | AC 21, touch 19, FF 17 | Per +12 | Fort +8 | Ref +8 | Will +9 | CMB +9 | CMD 24 | Spd 50' | Init +6)
Taking a 5' step to E1, Fung hops with two quick kicks at the beetle's tough carapace.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Damage 1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Attack 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Damage 2: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
The first attack lands on the beetle's shell, and it now seems to be staggered. Fung's second kick swings high and misses.
Harper next!

Harper dances to C2 (possibly taking 2 AOOs though one bug already took one on Vermin) to flank with Vermin and attacks the bottom bug!
Attack with Flank: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
DMG: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
*Ghetto Crit!!!*
Vermy...Sarenrae has been good to me today!

Watching the creature die Vermin sheds a single tear. These creatures were only hungry.
AoO on Harper: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
*Splat* the other fire beetle is sliced by Harper, getting fluorescent goo all over himself.
Luccinus 5' up one square and power attacks the other one into the ground. Mighty swing to the head! (finally?)
Rubbish and black mold choke the far end of the chamber. The slightest movement kicks up dust and spores, choking the stagnant and already foul-smelling air.
Among the mess in the room’s northeast corner, there is a small bundle of four half-buried pieces of paper; all are written in Kelish.
The papers seem to be numbered at the bottom. These pages are numbered 1,3,7,15

There is a sack over in the rubble. Fung will you check it while I read these documents?

Vermin, who had seen the sack already, and is on his way to retrieve it shoots Harper a hurt look over the beetles.

Sorry Verm, we tried... Fung puts his hand on the big half-orc's shoulder as they head for the sack in the corner. Fung looks cautiously up, around, and at the sack itself for possible hazards before looking inside.

Oh...the bugs? I wasn't even going to attack them until Vermy took a swing and missed. The way he was swinging his staff made me afraid for his health. It's ok though...I took care of them for him!
*Proud of himself for saving his big green buddy's life and still not understanding Vermin's connection to the beetles*
