FYI, Interaction is:
You use your hand or hands to manipulate an object or the terrain. You can grab an unattended or stored object, open a door, or produce some similar effect. You might have to attempt a skill check to determine if your Interact action was successful.

After that, yes it is an interact action that takes 2 hands. This is why you will want to put things in belt pouches and bandoliers.
Larhalt drops his mutagen to the floor--
--slips his pack off his back, and plops it on the ground in front of him, using both hands--
--and pulls out his alchemist fire.
With his mutagen on the floor, backpack at his feet, but alchemist fire in hand, Larhalt finishes his speedy action--
The centipedes swarm along, like a rolling carpet, they skitter towards the open double door, and into the space where Emilio and Hopper are standing.
The hundreds of centipedes slip over the two Pathfinders' feet, and start crawling up their legs, on top of their clothes, but also beneath, creepily skittering across their skin-- disgusting!
Most of them seem to targeting Emilio, as the rush up his legs, reaching his belly, and scores of them bite at his flesh while doing so, but Emilio tries to react by shaking his legs and brushing some off with the back of his hand.
But the numerous stings pierce his skin and hurt--
--and it seems they are venomous, for Emilio feels the bites burning his muscles!
The same is happening with Hopper, simply that there are a bit less, maybe centipedes prefer human flesh?
But they crawl up his green-skin legs, and bite at his goblin hide...
|
Well, Goblin sure deserves his name, he jumps up and down throwing down the bugs and hops away from them. He feels like some of the stings hurt more than they should but he drank his share of failed potions to know that he should be fine.
He pulls out the sling and begins to spin it, then he releases one strap and the bullet flies towards the centipedes
But the bullet hits the wall and flies not so far from Emilio

Teja grans a handful of the coloured sand and throws it at the mass of centipedes, curious about whether it will have any effect on them.
But her worry about the nearby pit causes her to glance at just the wrong time, and she throws it into her own face.
"We don't have vermin like this up north." she scowls.
Larhalt moves to be ready to assault the centipedes, that move and attack his comrades.
Teja grabs some of the red sand, which she realizes is more of some dehydrated substance, and what is left over from that-- and throws it towards the centipedes, but the sand just blows all over and scatters, never reaching that far, and blowing back in her own face.
Teja is truly red faced!
Hopper is incredibly nimble, and incredibly hates things crawling up his legs!
He manages to scrape a lot of the critters off, and greatly reduces their bites.
Then he moves along, out of the crawling carpet, and grabs his sling, readying it with a bullet.
But, as he does so, he feels that though he only got few bites, they carried some kind of venom, and couple are hurting him.
His veins are burning, and he is pain, and quite shaken up.

Kamil doesn't have time to get around the two hole.
He decides to jump across, moving backward first to get a running start.
After an almost perfect jump, he lands safely on the other side and finishes moving to get in the right position to unleash his magic.
Nobody in front of me or in a 15ft. cone! Or you will be burned!

"Nyuma!" Yel barks as he makes a grabbing gesture with his hand. A small ball of flame appears in the palm of his hand. The flames lick around his finger but for a moment before he hurls the small flaming mass at the centipedes at Emilio's feet.
The large black cat looks interested in the activities but backs up behind her elven friend.
Kamil moves back and makes a long jump over the open trap...
Larhalt tosses his alchemist's fire, but is not as good with this as he thought he would be... and he misses the mass of centipedes.
The flask breaks upon hitting the floor, and on the rim of the green "pit", and the liquid inside ignites, and burns red hot.
Some of the fire splashes onto the swarming arthropods-- but this little drop of liquid fire burns the centipedes like crazy, and the flaming ones run around and set fire to others, and a great deal die!
Yelinfathor conjures fire out of nowhere, and tosses it... but, maybe afraid of burning Emilio, he does not land the ball of flame amongst the centipedes.
Emilio manages to brush aside most of the centipedes on one leg, but not the others on the other leg, and thus is stung pretty badly...
At the same time, the venom from all these miniature bites starts burning his muscles, on all sides! He is in real pain.
And he is quite unbalanced by all this hurt and burning.
Emilio knows these are centipedes, of course, but not being much a Nature man, he cannot recall anything specific about what to do when then swarm together like this.
Maybe saddened by the fact their meals rush away in different directions, the centipedes turn, and skitter across the floor, moving through the red-hued dried-pool and start climbing all over Larhalt and Kamil, even trying to reach tall Teja.
The centipedes climb all over the man and the half-orc man, biting them all over, trying to get under their clothes...
Larhalt tries to shake his legs and kick them away--
--while Kamil tries to brush them off his armor to not have them creep under.

The tattooed elf reacts quickly to the centipedes and moves to the door. As he goes another globe of fire lights in his hand. He hurls once he can see the mass once more.
But sadly the ball sails over the mass. A cures can be heard from under the elf's breath.
Meanwhile...
The large black cat moves to the other part of the doorway, sits down, and begins cleaning its paws.
Teja unslings her pack, gets the torch out and lights it.
Kamil is unable to remove any of the centipedes, really--
--and they seem to have injected venom all over, and it starts coursing in his veins.
As he burns, Kamil calls forth a wave of flame from his hands as soon as Larhalt moves, and, though the centipedes are extremely nimble, there is just too much fire everywhere, and the smell of burning flesh and chitin fills the room.
Out in the corridor, Emilio manages to fight against the poison, and he burns less strong, and is no longer feeling clumsy.
He pulls out a potion and drinks it--
--and dons his shield.
Yelinfathor's love of animals of all kind gets in the way of his attacks... and he just cannot come to harming these centipedes.
The poison keeps on burning through Hopper's veins--
--as he moves into the room, pulls out a flask of some Goblin fiery concoction, and tosses it!
Unfortunately, it misses... splattering the swarm and Kamil and Larhalt if he did not move away.
Larhalt--
Kamil had just used his katana against the Swarm--
--and though the blow was not as efficient as against a monster with a nice skin and vital organs, he did do damage.
The Mad Hopper's flask explodes beside the swarm, but the fire splashes onto them and, again, it burns them to a crisp!
So much so that the centipedes dissolve as a group, and the few non burnt ones escape...
At the same time, burnt by the fire, Kamil topples over, crashing to the ground and dropping his katana.
And though Kamil resists the poison, and reduces its potency, there is still some coursing through his veins, burning him some more... and it seems he is starting to have seizures.
You feel he is at death's door, and something should be done-- rapidly.

The tattooed elf moves with speed, efficiency, and grace. In but a moment he is kneeling at Kamil's side with a sponge and linen cloth. He quickly applies a sponging of something that causes the tiny wounds to bubble slightly and just as quickly it is covered by a linen patch.
Manipulate
Source Core Rulebook pg. 248
Requirements You have healer’s tools (page 290).
You treat a patient to prevent the spread of poison. Attempt a Medicine check against the poison’s DC. After you attempt to Treat a Poison for a creature, you can’t try again until after the next time that creature attempts a save against the poison.
Critical Success You grant the creature a +4 circumstance bonus to its next saving throw against the poison.
Success You grant the creature a +2 circumstance bonus to its next saving throw against the poison.
Critical Failure Your efforts cause the creature to take a –2 circumstance penalty to its next save against the poison.
Meanwhile...
The large black cat follows the elf. Takes a couple moments to sniff Kamil's face and then begins giving big, face-covering licks. As usual it feels like sandpaper that just short of takes your skin off.
Yelinfathor moves over, and--
--starts to treat Kamil's wounds.
The wounds covered by the linen patch start to heal... even if the sandpaper licks of the cat feel like the poison is back, on Kamil's sensitive skin!
Kamil opens his eyes.
Teja moves up-- and pulls her healing kit out, ready to use it on any other who might need it.
Emilio rushes back into the room, and the poison keeps on racing through his body, getting stronger again.
Hopper and Kamil suffer some more from the poison, and then it keeps eating away at them two, and Emilio, for some more seconds.
Yelinfanthor uses his battle healing powers on Hopper and Emilio, bolstering their health.
Hopper lets the poison hurt him till the end, but is healed for a nice bit, in the end the poison hurts him some...And it is the same for Emilio.
Kamil heals himself, and then also lets the poison run its course. He healed himself well, but the poison burns hard--
--and he takes another healing potion from someone during this time to fend off the pain, and finish rather tired and wounded.
Somewhere, deep in his mind, he decides to eradicate all centipedes from Golarion!
You then spend some time, resting and eating a bit, while Yelinfathor heals you up--
--and after an hour, you feel good enough to tend to the body of the dead man and decide what to do next.
Lizzy walks slowly on the main corridor looking around
Hopper's potion did the trick to help Kamil during the poison crisis.
When you set out, after resting an hour, and gathering your wits, you see the long narrower corridor passes two doors, and leads to a room with a couple statues.
The big wide corridor facing the double doors leads to a set of double doors far away, with another set of double doors to the right, facing the entranceway.
If you first check the room with the statues you see the two statues in this room depict a pair of robed skeletons each of which is pointing at the other.
Larhalt knows there is no trap, and opens the door.
He pears inside, his tusks glinting in the light of his friend's magic spell.
This room is a mockery of a traditional burial chamber.
The weapon, armor, and shield in the corner of the room were of poor quality even when they were placed here, and they are now rusted beyond any hope of repairing them.
There are three stone slabs in the center of the room.
When you looked at the man's body, covered in hundreds of centipede bites, and obviously deceased because of the virulent poison, you find some papers, that Teja, who speaks Osiriani, can easily read and share with you.
Some letters show that he was named Nefaram Subeli, and their stamps and letterheads divulge that he was a clerk in Osirion’s permit office.
It seems he was an unscrupulous one, who took advantage of the shifting bureaucracy to easily make and authorize a fake permit, but that looks perfectly good, since his job was to green-light such permits.
You realize that he aimed to reach the site ahead of the Society’s true representatives - you -, and, posing as an agent of the Pathfinder Society, he hired a team of laborers to take over clearing the sand from the location.
When he met him he was planning to pocket any treasures he found within, and then, by the time the Pathfinders investigate what has happened, he’d be long gone, leaving the Society to take the fall.
But, alas, you arrived too early and he left for an other Plane.
