I apologize for being unclear - each PC can only make one check, and each check should be attempted by a different PC (a PC can repeat, but at a penalty). For Tiger, I'll take the roll with his highest modifier, on the assumption he would have tried that first.
Tiger shows Bjensen how to throw a punch properly. Success!
[ ] Fortitude Save
[ ] Reflex Save
[X] Unarmed Strike (DC <= 19)
Elsha stands in front of Bjensen, expecting a novice mimicry of Tiger's expert punch. The young man has no intention of making it easy, though, and Elsha finds himself at the business end of Bjensen's fist, about to get the wind knocked out of him. Elsha heroically imitates a move he's seen Tiger do many times - letting his neck go slack so that the fist makes contact, but doesn't do any damage. Failure - Hero Point - Success!
The Pathfinders teach Bjensen far more than physical skills, demonstrating cooperation, encouraging exploration, and making him write a report at the end of the day. Bjensen thanks them all, and says not to be surprised if he shows up at the Grand Lodge someday.
End of encounter!
Viltydus rewards the Pathfinders with a diplomat’s badge. 3 Treasure Bundles!
Viltydus gathers the Pathfinders just outside of Port Valen’s borders. They hold a small map of the shoreline. A red circle surrounds a location on the map several miles to the north of the town.
Viltydus draws a line with their finger along their map, tapping the red circle. “My focus lies with the Forest of Trials and with the adventurers who brave its dangers to reach Valenhall. Those adventurers, however, need a safe place to rest their heads before facing their destinies, and Port Valen has not been as safe as it needs to be. A group of monsters have laired in an abandoned fishing village not far from here, and their predations have caused the people of Port Valen great harm. I task you Pathfinders to travel to this forsaken village and destroy the evil creatures that threaten these good people.
In addition, you'll need to bring back evidence to prove to the people of Port Valen that you have succeeded.”
Viltydus cautions the Pathfinders that whatever has holed up in the abandoned village should not be underestimated: they have seen many a burgeoning hero get cut down prematurely after trying to stop the attacks alone.
Viltydus also offers each Pathfinder a lesser healing potion prior to their departure.
You can leave immediately, or spent some time Gathering Information in the town (DC 20 Diplomacy, or DC 22 Perception).

Th-that kids going to be o-kay! Elsha remarks with an enthusiastic smile.
------------
We certainly w-won't under-estimate whatever has taken up residence there. I think we should first ask around town to find out who has seen what, or what sorts of wounds they m-may have attended to on those who made prior attempts.
You recognize these creatures as wihsaaks, but know little else about them.
Elsha:
You recognize these creatures as wihsaaks, but know little else about them.
The Pathfinders travel to the village, weapons at the ready to face any sort of resistance. But the village is eerily calm, and there's nothing that jumps out at them.
Suddenly, Samantha raises a fist. She sees the tip of a wing, up on a rooftop.
Tactical on Slide 6, bursts and cones on Slide 7 if anyone decides to Seek.
--Round 1
Samantha (86/86)
Elsha (63/63)
Rangi (72/72)
Red Wihsaak (-0, hidden to Samantha, undetected to rest)
Blue Wihsaak (-0, hidden to Samantha, undetected to rest)
Tiger (68/68)
Sorry - I forgot to bold those who were supposed to go.
The party moves into position, and, having been spotted, the wihsaaks stop sneaking around. Instead, they rub their wings together, producing the supernaturally deafening drone of millions of insects, and channeling the sound to a 10' burst.
Red Sonic:3d10 ⇒ (6, 2, 5) = 13, DC 23 Fortitude save for Samantha, Rangi
Blue Sonic:3d10 ⇒ (4, 4, 4) = 12, DC 23 Fortitude save for Elsha
Critical Success The creature is unaffected. Success The creature takes half damage. Failure The creature takes full damage and is deafened for 1 round. Critical Failure The creature takes double damage and is deafened for 1 minute, and stunned 1.
Red flies towards the fountain to take on the big guy and the lizard, while Blue hops off the roof next to Elsha.

DC 23 Fortitude:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 ⇒ full damage and deafened for one round
Elsha grunts under the pressure of the sudden sonic assault. A harsh ringing sticks in his ears for several moments. Getting a visual lock on the creatures he steps away from one and lobs a bomb at the other to avoid harming his teammates.
Tiger moves up, drawing a javelin. Samantha moves up and slices with both hands, cutting the wihsaak deeply. Elsha strides closer to Red and lobs two bombs, unfortunately, only hitting with one. Rangi moves and swings twice, unfortunately, missing with both.
The Red wihsaak lands next to Elsha with a thud, slashing with its claws.
Blue beats its wings rapidly, creating a buzzing drone. Every creature within 100 feet must attempt a DC 23 Will save. This action isn't marked with Manipulate, but it's also not marked as Attack, so unless it's a clear rules violation, I'm going to say it provokes an AoO.
Success The creature is unaffected. Failure The creature is confused and stupefied 1 for 1 round. Critical Failure The creature is confused for 1 round and stupefied 2 for 1 minute.
Uh, I just realized the wihsaaks are not immune to each other's distractions!
Red Will Save:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
Blue then slashes at Samantha twice.
Claw:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36 Slashing:2d10 + 7 ⇒ (7, 8) + 7 = 22 plus Evil:1d4 ⇒ 4 Is your alignment good?

Samantha (29/86, -8 evil?, AoO first, then Will save)
Elsha (51/63, Will save first)
Rangi (59/72, enlarged, Will save first)
Red Wihsaak (-15, 2d4 persistent poison, 21 < AC <= 27)
Blue Wihsaak (-17, 17 < AC <= 25)
Tiger is distracted by the buzzing and loses track of his surroundings. Seeing a shape in front of him he lashes out, thinking an enemy has managed to close with him. Sorry, Samantha

Loong: Not sure why your confusion is auto targeting me, there's no requirement that the target be within reach etc.
Oops. I thought it was the closest target... Overlooked the part that says my target is determined by the GM. I have my javelin in hand so the GM is free to choose. So, GM, it's up to you...
Samantha's AoO just barely misses; she's briefly confused, and then snaps out of it when she takes a claw to the face. Or maybe she still is a little woozy, because she slaps a bandage on her armor, and then slashes the ground, and then slaps a bandage on Rangi's armor.
Tiger, 23 Will makes the DC, so you're not confused. I'm going to revise your actions to Stride, Flurry, and Stride. Tiger punches Blue with a fiery fist and then resets.
Elsha, I think the spirit of the law is that nobody's supposed to waste consumable items while confused. However, since this is your only fight for today, I think throwing bombs is fine, and Red is the closest target, so both bombs will go towards Red.
Rangi powers through the noise. He's unable to connect with his sword, but the electricity certainly gets through.
Red Reflex:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21 Blue Reflex:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
With a cheer, the wihsaaks bring down the leader of all the mortals! Now, they expect you to scatter and run. Blue slashes at the little lizard minion.
Samantha then moves up to the plaza surrounding the fountain and grabs at red.
snagging strike vs Red FF:1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 17 - 5 = 26 slashing:2d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 = 7 If this Strike hits, the target is flat-footed until the start of your next turn or until it's no longer within the reach of your hand, whichever comes first.
Tiger slaps Red across the face with one hand, and then slaps two bandages on Rangi with the other.
Samantha draws her blade through Blue, and doesn't even wait for its body to hit the ground before moving around and hitting Red, grabbing it in the process.

Understanding that the team isn't quite "out of the woods" just yet, Elsha administers a little more rejuvenation to Rangi before backing away from the crowd.
◆ Interact: draw lesser elixir of life ◆ Interact: administer lesser elixir of life to Rangi elixir of life, Rangi:3d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3) + 6 = 16 and Rangi gains a +1 item bonus to saving throws against diseases and poisons for 10 minutes.
◆ Stride 25 ft
He finds himself stepping over the body of the other wihsaak.
Frustrated with its inability to attack, it tries a different approach. It waves its hands and casts as spell. Samantha and Rangi, this provokes AoO. Then, Samantha, please make a DC 23 Will save.
Critical Success:
It tried to control your mind!
Success:
Nothing happens. The spell was probably a dud.
Failure:
Look at all your wounded allies, so close to death! You should definitely walk around and administer your school items and all your daily uses of Battle Medicine / healer's gloves instead of attacking. Basically, any healing that doesn't permanently cost your character. This is definitely the best use of your next minute.
Critical Failure:
Look at all your wounded allies, so close to death! You should definitely walk around and administer your school items and all your daily uses of Battle Medicine / healer's gloves instead of attacking. Then, when you're done, start Treating Wounds on people for the next hour.
