Torod empathicaly impresses upon Strawberry the need to save the family. He then takes a step back and drinks a Potion of Invisibility so he can get out of the middle of the fight.
Strawberry receives the empathic order. She grabs hold of the father and begins to drag him out of the swarm of insects.
She also has DR 5/Evil so I believe the swarm only does 7 damage to her.

Seraph and Julius weathers the blows they received and hold strong under the onslaught of attacks. Killing the Mite had sadly not stopped the Giant Centipede and the Swarm was crawling all over them...
This didn't bode well and as much as she wanted to assist the family she had to make a stand against the overwhelming numbers pressing against them.
Asta curses at all the injuries she's taken -- and moves, running for a more secure spot.
Sarah and Julius took the brunt of the attacks, in a desperate attempt to drag the enemies with them. Thus freeing up her allies as best she could. She brought her great blade down with one hand as she healed herself this time. Looking to crush the rudderless centipede as Julius moves away from the swarm. She hoped the swarm would keep trailing after them.
Stay with me Julius, don't fall... She held back the pain of losing another horse but she knew this fight wouldn't end without more losses...
As she raised her bloodied sword she roared in challenge, swinging it overhead as she continues to struggle against the overwhelming number of foes...

Shaken: A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. Shaken is a less severe state of fear than frightened or panicked.
Torod feels Strawberry's reluctance to go back and help, so he empathically coaxes her to keep it up. Getting the people to safety is the very reason we came here. You're the only one who can do that now. You are keeping them alive.
An invisible Torod warns Asta. "Asta, go over by the people. Hurry!"
He waits for ASta to withdraw and Strawberry to retrieve (or make it to) the mother, then Torod casts Entangle (dc 15) centered on the open pit. After that, he becomes visible again.
With Torod's prodding, Strawberry continues her mission of rescuing the family. She runs to the mother and drags her out of harm's way.
Sunset helps drape the Mother over Strawberry's back, the quicker to help the leopard clear the swarms.
The magical jolts to her psyche were wearing her down and just as she was about to bring death down on another of the blue fey she felt her resolve waver. The insects surging across her skin, armor and Julius wounded frame did nothing but add to the shudder that ran through her.
:This is... TOO MUCH! I... I Have to fall back...: She turns her head, commanding Julius to back down with a sharp whistle. It was then she realize the plight of one of her fellows. :Have to... Stand! Have to... Help my companions!: She pulls Julius back, the warhorse whinnying in annoyance at the remaining mite rider as he snapped his teeth. She tries to turn both of them away but he was somewhat difficult to move and she had to use her free hand to take hold of the reins and yard the angry horse back. "Move your hooves DA-!"
She turned him and rode away from the mounted mite and around her Queen to so that she could aid Sunset. Riding in alongside her and the wounded mother before taking hold of the battered gun womans shoulder. Her celestial voice was sweet sounding despite the chaos. :Hopefully it will be enough...:
Asta backs away as Torod directs, shouting to Sunset and Seraph: "Withdraw! To me! Withdraw!"
Sunset throws the mother over a shoulder and staggers clear of the swarming bugs. At Seraph's hand upon her shoulder and the healing energies flowing through her frame Sunset straightens a little but keeps staggering out of the crawling zone.

The magic of the mites begin to have an effect on Torod. Rather than go on the offensive, which was his intention at this point, he steps back and casts Barkskin upon himself.
Strawberry moves to the giant centipede and attacks.
Strawberry Bite:
Sunset sets the woman down as easily as she can... though the venom of the bugs takes its toll.
Drawing the small weapon from her hip she sights, gestures and fires.
At the huge vermin acosting Strawberry.
Despite her shaking hands she dismounted from Julius. Giving the wounded horse some reprieve. She sets a hand on herself. Her figuring shimmering as she calls on Arshea's aid to shield her body from harm. These beasts were huge, but she hoped she could just get close enough to strike them down...
I'm sure it doesn't matter, but I forgot to include the -2 for Strawberry's Shaken condition. And I figured he'd be subject to an AoO from that overlarge beastie.

Asta finishes her first chant and two giant, golden-furred spiders appear out of thin air.
"Take heart, my good Knight," Asta says as the spiders start spitting webs. "Help has arrived, and more is coming."
The Witch chants and lays her hand on Seraph's sword, just above the Paladin's own. Darkness races along the blade and shadows trail after it.
Seraph didn't smile, this wholesale slaughter broke her heart but the Mites had turned on them over a border despute. One of those they had come to rescue was dead and the first treaty was broken because of it.
