She then swears. "Look, we're all unaffected by the mist. I'm sorry if you were startled, but we're Pathfinders and are here to help."
Diplomacy, take 10 for 16
The sturdy cabinet opens up. A disheveled man steps out. Oh thank goodness. Thank you for saving me. A blue mist filled the museum and just made my associates Kadarnik and Yannis go crazy. They beat up Milgen, and coming for me next. I blame those weird idols. I smelled something wrong with those hideous monkey-faced things as soon as Lugizar brought them out. I've a nose for trouble, I do! No one listens!
He continues to blabber on like a scaredy cat for a while, but then he pulls out a sack of 500 gp and rewards you.
After any healing gets done, you go to the next door. Tanaka opens it
A large placard above the entryway to this hall reads “Hunting the Beasts of Legend” in great block letters. This gigantic chamber is relatively free of mist, and darkness is held at bay by braziers of radiant light. Behemoths occupy these halls, great taxidermy nightmares such as a two-headed bear easily taller than an ogre; a great desiccated beetle, its carapace larger than the face of the clock tower of Absalom’s Clockwork Cathedral; a massive specimen of chimera, its jaws open in a mock roar; and an assembled skeleton of a tyrant lizard. The walls here are studded with strange masks, staves, spears, and other implements of long forgotten cultures, most likely used in ritual hunts of the beasts preserved here.

"I trust this room naught." The samurai looks carefully about the room, awaiting a magical report from someone more skilled in such things. Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Maybe no living dead thisss time...? Plisskin says, moving to the nearest table and finding something from Tian Xai, which he regards with some distaste. Belongsss in a museum, indeed...
Cast dancing lights and move them into the corners of the room.
Tanaka's eyes are drawn to the huge monstrosities of bone scattered throughout the room. Creepy boooga boooga masks and assorted weapons line the walls.
Overtu does not pick up any auras initially, but then can detect 4 small very weak evocations, one in each corner of the room.

Kiss (Su)
A vargouille can kiss a helpless target by making a successful melee touch attack (this provokes attacks of opportunity). A kissed opponent must succeed on a DC 16 Fortitude save or begin a terrible transformation that changes the creature into a vargouille within 24 hours (and often much sooner; roll 1d6 separately for each phase of the transformation). First, over a period of 1d6 hours, all the victim’s hair falls out. Within another 1d6 hours thereafter, the ears grow into leathery wings, tentacles sprout on the chin and scalp, and the teeth become long, pointed fangs. During the next 1d6 hours, the victim takes Intelligence drain and Charisma drain equal to 1 point per hour (to a minimum of 3). The transformation is complete 1d6 hours thereafter, when the victim’s head breaks free of the body (which promptly dies) and becomes a vargouille. This transformation’s progress is paused by sunlight or any light spell of 3rd level or higher, but stopping the transformation requires remove disease or a similar effect. The transformation is a disease effect. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +4 racial bonus.
Poison (Su)
Bite—injury; save Fort DC 12; frequency once; effect damage caused by bite can only be healed with magic if the spellcaster succeeds on a DC 20 caster level check; cure 1 save. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Shriek (Su)
Instead of biting, a vargouille can open its distended mouth to shriek. Those within 60 feet (except other vargouilles) who hear the shriek and can clearly see the creature must succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 2d4 rounds or until the monster attacks them, goes out of range, or leaves their sight. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same vargouille’s shriek for 24 hours. The save DC is Constitution-based.

He also tries to see if he knows anything about these creatures.
knowledge planes:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
"Those are Vargouille. Don't let those things bite you! They can poison you. They also have a shriek which will paralyze you. We should get rid of these things as quickly as possible"

Hearing the strange Tien cries from Tanaka, the tall duskwalker strides forward. Her long legs get her close enough for a relatively clear shot on the red vargouille. She raises her bow and lets an arrow fly!

Olvertu moves up to 15' from Plisskin's foe. With an arcane gesture, he moves his hands, grabs some colored sand from the pouch at his side and throws it towards the monster. A rainbow spurts out from his hand and drenches the monster in colored rays.

Musani lets fly another arrow...
Attack:1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 4 = 5
... and curses as it flies wide of the mark. She struggles to predict how Tanaka will move, his combat style being very foreign to her.
She draws a dagger and gets ready to close into melee.
