As the footsteps fade away Ki Chin listens for a few moments more. "I don't hear anything anymore. They may have gone deeper. Out to the hallway or the next room?" Ki Chin asked the others while pointing to the two doors.

As the party pauses, considering their next move, Meux calls out in Draconic,
In a medium volume-one that would be heard in an adjacent room or so
"Eia sou, the symvainei ekei mesha?"
Female Human (Varisian) Bard (Duettist) 3
"Next room, I guess?" Talethia says to Ki Chin.

I've give a little longer for input or else default to "next room to the South" tomorrow morning.
M.A. Gaskar | Male CG Medium Half-Orc Rogue (unchained/Skulking Slayer/Scout) 1 | HP 7/11 | AC 15, T 12, FF 12 | CMD 15| F +3 R +5 W +1 | Init +2 | Perc +4 | Speed 30ft |Sneak Attack +1d6 | Active Conditions: None
Gaskar nods as he holds his flail high.

Ki-Chin quickly realizes that this door is stuck. As is the other to the East. You can try to break open the door to the South or East, or return through the door to the North.
Breaking open the doors, which is going to be the same for all of the doors in this area, is a matter of applying physical damage to them.
LN Male Human (Tien-Min) Magus(Kensai) 6 | HP 53/64 | AC 20(T 16 FT 15 ) |CMB:+8, CMD:23 | F:+9 R:+9 W:+6 | Init:+8|Perc:+6 | SM:+0| | Speed: 30ft | Arcane Pool: 7/8 | Active conditions: None |Concentration: +6
"Ugh." Ki Chin grunts as he first tries one door then the other. "This will take some effort." he says as he ponders both doors, "Both doors are stuck. Do we blast them or bash them?"
M.A. Gaskar | Male CG Medium Half-Orc Rogue (unchained/Skulking Slayer/Scout) 1 | HP 7/11 | AC 15, T 12, FF 12 | CMD 15| F +3 R +5 W +1 | Init +2 | Perc +4 | Speed 30ft |Sneak Attack +1d6 | Active Conditions: None
Gaskar realizes the doors are stuck. Before others can reply, he starts smashing the door closest to him - the door to the west.
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Looking at the rules a little more closely, I think it's safe to handwave this to a series of take 10s/take 20s out of initiative. It was important that the group chose a direction to go though.
Indeed, to Ki Chin's chagrin it does take some effort. The half-orc pounds on the western door for some time until finally it becomes dislodged.
NOTE I needed to bring everyone's icons forward into the current room.
Pretty soon the door breaks off of the frame and Gaskar pushes it to the side. Peeking his head out and looking down the passageway, he sees that both directions are blocked by kobold snipers with crossbows!
We've got company!
The kobold at the North end of the hallway loads her crossbow, aims, and.... waits.
The kobolds are yelling down the passageway, but not all can understand them.
And then, seemingly yelling to each other...

Though his racial enmity towards the horrid little monsters flares up within him, his training in the church of the mother of redemption-as well as his duty as a Pathfinder-supersede his prejudice. Meux tries a more diplomatic approach. He shouts loudly,
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
"I am attempting a parlay with these creatures. Maybe we can learn something we failed to earlier today. Does anyone else speak Draconic? They might not be so pleased that I am of a race traditionally at odds with their kind."
Female Human (Varisian) Bard (Duettist) 3
Talethia shakes her head. "I don't speak it."

The little kobolds shriek back at Meux.
The kobolds are at least of unfriendly disposition, and certainly untrusting. However, they seem more defensive and evasive than deliberately aggressive.

Meux persists...

Sorry. It seems Safari logged me out and I wasn't seeing any post updates.
Ari-Ani translates what the kobolds are saying for the rest of the group as she answers back..

The kobolds look at each other, but still seem suspicious. They all nervously glance back down the passageway to the North, clearly anxious to simply move that way as soon as possible.
Clearly they will just leave if you let them, but since we are still in initiative order, I do need to hear that Meux and Magmara delay their actions or else do not use any of them for hostile purposes.
Male Lava Gnome Cleric 2 (Divine Paragon/Theologian of Sarenrae) | HP:(17)/17| AC: 14 T: 11 FF: 12 | CMB: 0 CMD:11 | F: +4 R: +1 W: +6 | Init: +1 | Perc: +3 SM: +3 | Darkvision 60' | Speed 20'| Channel Positive Energy:1d6 5/5 Firebolt:6/6 | Spells: 1st:3/3 D:1/1 | Active Conditions: +2 Sacred Bonus To Perception, SWOLE!
Hoping to achieve a peaceful solution. Meux stays any hostile action.

Meux and Magmara wait to see what happens. As they expected, the kobolds begin retreat. That which is North-most in the long passage turns and runs for the stairs up out of the temple, yelling back to his kinsmen.
The remaining two in the hallway hold their crossbows steady, but eye the exit North even more anxiously!

At this point the rest of you can practically agree to let them escape peacefully, though you then won't get any info out of them.
M.A. Gaskar | Male CG Medium Half-Orc Rogue (unchained/Skulking Slayer/Scout) 1 | HP 7/11 | AC 15, T 12, FF 12 | CMD 15| F +3 R +5 W +1 | Init +2 | Perc +4 | Speed 30ft |Sneak Attack +1d6 | Active Conditions: None
Gaskar drops his flail then holds out his arms, effectively blocking the doorway. As he watches the kobolds go past, he'll squint at them. 'Why are they here? They might've laid traps. We need to be careful.'
43870-7 | Human (Keleshite) F uRogue 5 | Init +11 | AC 20 T 16 FF 14 | | HP 38/38| F +4 R +10 W +3 | Perc 9; UMD +9; Disable +16; Acrobatics 13; Escape Art. Stealth +12 ; UMD, Sense Motive +9; K (Local) +5;
Ari-Ani calls after the kobollds,
[spoiler=Draconic]"You mentioned another Pathfinder. What did he look like? Where did he go?"
N Tiny Animal Familiar(Mauler) 1 | HP 15/15 | AC 16 T 14 FF 14 | CMB +2, CMD 12 | F: +4, R: +4, W: +4 | Init: +2 | Perc: +8, Low-light Vision | Speed 40ft | Battle Form,: 3/3 |Active conditions: None.
Hearing something in the hallway and with half-orc blocking the way Mei decides to go back the way they came. She stealthily tries to creep up behind blue.
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
M Raccoon Magical Beast, Duettist Familiar
Tiny stays with Talethia, waiting for instructions from her (Delay).

While Soleil looks very eager to rush into a fight, Magmara extends a hand to stop the other gal who then proceeds to pout and disappointedly kick at the ground.

The kobold in the South of the tunnel nervously advances forward, still holding up the crossbow. It passes by the other and enters the entry room, where stops to watch Mei and see if the fox intends to do anything hostile...

"Are we really letting them leave?" Ki Chin whispered to the others before going back to the other room and calling out to his familiar.
"Mei, let them pass!"
Female Human (Varisian) Bard (Duettist) 3
"I guess so." Talethia shrugs. "They don't seem willing to talk, I don't think we're going to get any information out of them without force. Trying to force one if them to talk might bring the whole colony down on us. I don't really feel like fighting off a horde of Kobolds..."
Mentorship and PC Level Bumps | Pathfinder Provisions | Downtime | Area of Effects Templates | PFS2 #6-08 | ◆◇↺♥️⛨☐☑
The other remaining kobold growls under it's breath, detecting Ki-Chin's tone of mutual distrust. It likewise backs into the main room and edges slowly around Mei.
Assuming that Mei is in fact threatening, which I take from your post Ki-Chin. If Mei would not comply and attack/AoO, please let me know.
It keeps slithering by until finally it breaks away from Mei and flees through the exit up to the surface.

Even though the kobold may not understand the words, Magmara gives a bow and says, "Go in peace, friend."
Male Lava Gnome Cleric 2 (Divine Paragon/Theologian of Sarenrae) | HP:(17)/17| AC: 14 T: 11 FF: 12 | CMB: 0 CMD:11 | F: +4 R: +1 W: +6 | Init: +1 | Perc: +3 SM: +3 | Darkvision 60' | Speed 20'| Channel Positive Energy:1d6 5/5 Firebolt:6/6 | Spells: 1st:3/3 D:1/1 | Active Conditions: +2 Sacred Bonus To Perception, SWOLE!
Satisfied with his efforts in reaching a diplomatic solution, Meux nods his head.
"Nasty things they are, though. I believe we may yet find ourselves in battle soon here. Best not waste any of our resources on them."
Not wanting to undo anything with possible racial conflict, Meux waits out of sight until he has confirmation of their exit

Do any of the bold wish to further interact with the last kobold before he escapes?

Gaskar hangs tight, closely watching the last kobold. He will let the kobold pass as long as he doesn't attack or threaten any of Gaskar's companions
43870-7 | Human (Keleshite) F uRogue 5 | Init +11 | AC 20 T 16 FF 14 | | HP 38/38| F +4 R +10 W +3 | Perc 9; UMD +9; Disable +16; Acrobatics 13; Escape Art. Stealth +12 ; UMD, Sense Motive +9; K (Local) +5;
Ari-Ani calls out after the kobolds and continues to follow them cautiously, kobolds having a reputation for trap making.
Ifrit Summoner 2; Perception -1; 15/15 HP; Fort +0, Ref +4, Will +2; AC 17, touch 14, FF 13 Melee: Elven Curve Blade +5, 1d10+3, +1 fire, Ranged: Ray of Frost/Acid Splash +5 vs touch 1d3
Soleil simply pouts as the Kobold passes by. "I didn't even get to fight them a little bit." she mutters disappointedly.
Letting them pass.

"There, there, my fiery warrior. We will find a much better lot than this rabble for which to utilize your masterful prowess upon! This I am sure of."

At Ki Chin's command Mei slowly backs into the room to let the kobold pass.

With the way clear, the final kobold turns-tail and runs up to the surface following the others. A quiet falls over the area for now.
Out of initiative!
Where to next!
M.A. Gaskar | Male CG Medium Half-Orc Rogue (unchained/Skulking Slayer/Scout) 1 | HP 7/11 | AC 15, T 12, FF 12 | CMD 15| F +3 R +5 W +1 | Init +2 | Perc +4 | Speed 30ft |Sneak Attack +1d6 | Active Conditions: None
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Gaskar points to a series of pressure plates and shrugs. He keeps a close eye out for any other traps - kobolds are tricky! Shaking his head, he points at the door across the hall. "Hmm?" he asks but will be careful about crossing the hall.
Ifrit Summoner 2; Perception -1; 15/15 HP; Fort +0, Ref +4, Will +2; AC 17, touch 14, FF 13 Melee: Elven Curve Blade +5, 1d10+3, +1 fire, Ranged: Ray of Frost/Acid Splash +5 vs touch 1d3
Hearing phrases like "fiery warrior" and "masterful prowess" used to describe her, Soleil perks up a bit, gives a nod to the Gnome, And seems to let the frustration of not fighting pass.
Then, as the Half-Orc looks at the door and offers a "Hmmm," Soleil nods and says, "Oh, I agree! Definitely hmmm! We should go over there and see if there's someone to fight!"
And she pokes Magmara with her mage armor wand if it has been an hour since last time she did so.
Female Human (Varisian) Bard (Duettist) 3
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Talethia nods to Gaskar. "Let's continue, and see what we can find." She starts stepping gingerly down the hall. She is trying to avoid the pressure plates where possible, just in case.
LN Male Human (Tien-Min) Magus(Kensai) 6 | HP 53/64 | AC 20(T 16 FT 15 ) |CMB:+8, CMD:23 | F:+9 R:+9 W:+6 | Init:+8|Perc:+6 | SM:+0| | Speed: 30ft | Arcane Pool: 7/8 | Active conditions: None |Concentration: +6
Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Ki Chin watches as the kobold runs past the door before turning back to the group. As he joins the group the magus does not see anything of note.
M.A. Gaskar | Male CG Medium Half-Orc Rogue (unchained/Skulking Slayer/Scout) 1 | HP 7/11 | AC 15, T 12, FF 12 | CMD 15| F +3 R +5 W +1 | Init +2 | Perc +4 | Speed 30ft |Sneak Attack +1d6 | Active Conditions: None
Gaskar examines the door for traps. 'With kobolds, you can never be too careful...' he thinks with an exasperated sigh.
Perception on door for traps: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Mentorship and PC Level Bumps | Pathfinder Provisions | Downtime | Area of Effects Templates | PFS2 #6-08 | ◆◇↺♥️⛨☐☑
Gaskar wrenches on the door across the hall for several moments before it pops open.
A 10-foot section of the wall lies in pieces on the floor—perhaps the kobolds accidentally collapsed it?
M.A. Gaskar | Male CG Medium Half-Orc Rogue (unchained/Skulking Slayer/Scout) 1 | HP 7/11 | AC 15, T 12, FF 12 | CMD 15| F +3 R +5 W +1 | Init +2 | Perc +4 | Speed 30ft |Sneak Attack +1d6 | Active Conditions: None
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
"Trap" Gaskar mutters then points out the crude (but ingenious) trap. 'Kobolds... ugh.'.

Can we disable it, or do we simply avoid it?
Male Lava Gnome Cleric 2 (Divine Paragon/Theologian of Sarenrae) | HP:(17)/17| AC: 14 T: 11 FF: 12 | CMB: 0 CMD:11 | F: +4 R: +1 W: +6 | Init: +1 | Perc: +3 SM: +3 | Darkvision 60' | Speed 20'| Channel Positive Energy:1d6 5/5 Firebolt:6/6 | Spells: 1st:3/3 D:1/1 | Active Conditions: +2 Sacred Bonus To Perception, SWOLE!
"To simply leave it may prove to be inconvenient if a hasty retreat becomes necessary. My vote would be to disable it-especially in the presence of such capable company. Unless the disabling itself would produce terrain impeding such a circumstance."
Not the expert, Meux shrugs and awaits the decision to be made by the experts present.
Mentorship and PC Level Bumps | Pathfinder Provisions | Downtime | Area of Effects Templates | PFS2 #6-08 | ◆◇↺♥️⛨☐☑
Yes, you can avoid them as well. Now that they're detected I've marked them on the map.
So, deal with the trap, or move on?
M.A. Gaskar | Male CG Medium Half-Orc Rogue (unchained/Skulking Slayer/Scout) 1 | HP 7/11 | AC 15, T 12, FF 12 | CMD 15| F +3 R +5 W +1 | Init +2 | Perc +4 | Speed 30ft |Sneak Attack +1d6 | Active Conditions: None
Gaskar looks at the other rouge and shrugs.
No disable device nor trapfinding for this rogue!
43870-7 | Human (Keleshite) F uRogue 5 | Init +11 | AC 20 T 16 FF 14 | | HP 38/38| F +4 R +10 W +3 | Perc 9; UMD +9; Disable +16; Acrobatics 13; Escape Art. Stealth +12 ; UMD, Sense Motive +9; K (Local) +5;
I'm confused about what the map shows. How do we "deal with the traps?" disable them?
Ari-tries to disable the trap. Take 10=26 with Guidance
LN Male Human (Tien-Min) Magus(Kensai) 6 | HP 53/64 | AC 20(T 16 FT 15 ) |CMB:+8, CMD:23 | F:+9 R:+9 W:+6 | Init:+8|Perc:+6 | SM:+0| | Speed: 30ft | Arcane Pool: 7/8 | Active conditions: None |Concentration: +6
Ki Chin rejoins the others in the room. Seeing Gaskar in front of the door to the room he asks "What is going on? What do you see?"
Mentorship and PC Level Bumps | Pathfinder Provisions | Downtime | Area of Effects Templates | PFS2 #6-08 | ◆◇↺♥️⛨☐☑
Yes, you can disable them. They are not strictly in your way though, if that's the confusion; but the choice is still there. If you'd like you can take 10 twice and disable them both.
