This is backwards. Bunnies are not supposed to bite him. Elias finds the animals' unnatural behavior unnerving, and their teeth unusually sharp.
Well, he can do that too. Stomping his way out of the pile of adorable terrifying bunnies, he resumes his canine aspect and spins around snarling. "You're doing it WRONG! I'll show you!" and... snaps ineffectually at the rabbits.

"More stuff of nightmares?? But a swarm is a swarm no matter how cute!"
Noting that Miss Sorbet is resistant to acid, but Elias is not, Khaldan will wait until Elias has moved and then try to recall what he knows about these bunny swarms, step back, and throw a glob of acid at the bunnies in the corner below Miss Sorbet.
DC 19 Will save vs Cute but Deadly:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Khaldan does not know anything about this particular swarm. This might be his first time to see one. Sending acid, he still misses but some splash affects the swarm. Takes 1 splash acid damage plus weakness, and unfortunately, Elias also takes the splash acid damage. The splash is somewhat effective though.
The scary shoony is having trouble evading the swarm's bite after she gets frightened by what she has seen. My bad, that should be one Reflex save only from Rabbit Swarm.

Oooh, sorry. I think I was looking at my name bolded under "before your turn." (And I was flanking at the time. Khaldan moved.)
"Look at the FANGS" Geshko shouts as the animals attack. Studying the swarm, he realizes his bow is useless, and drops it at his feet.
"Animal! Out and in!" He commands, as he steps back out of the swarm, reaching for his belt to draw a green, blue, and purple bladed scarf.
I got you, Elias.

Geshko assigns the Rabbit Swarm (white) as his prey, and he steps out. He then commands Animal to do the bidding or biting. Animal connects but biting (piercing) is somewhat not effective. Damage reduced to 1 by resistance. Immune to precision.
Miss Sorbet moves to maximize the potential of what she is going to do with harming her allies and kaboom!
Bunny Swarm: DC 18 basic Reflex save:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17Failure, 8 cold + 3 (area weakness) = 11 total damage

Her kaboom is effective against the swarm as the number of bunnies or rabbits is significantly reduced!
Meanwhile, Wolfy goes head-to-head with Eovar. It snarl at him and bites him!
Jaw Attack vs Eovar AC 18:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
It misses, but bites again!

You don't what really they are. Looks like normal animals in corrupted state.
Miss Sorbet, you succeed both saves, only 5 total.
Miss Sorbet steps out and slashes at the swarm. She misses the first one, but connect with the second with some resistance, but enough to bring down what remains of that swarm. 2*10 - 3 (slashing resistance) = 17 totalRabbit Swarm eliminated.
Khaldan, I did not notice that, thank you for that.

Realizing he's fairly ineffective against the bunnies (who should not be biting dogs!), Elias turns and goes after the wolf instead.
"Sister! Bunnies should be food--maybe pets. You shame yourself!"
He doesn't... actually have any particular way to communicate with wolves, though, so he resorts to trying to bite.
Mibli suffers a number of agonizing bites before Miss Sorbet manages to disperse the swarm. As much as she hates to, she grits her teeth and circles around to one side of the remaining swarm and delivers another blast of rocks and rubble to it.
Elias focuses his rage on Wolfy instead. His bite is enough to eliminate Wolfy! Bye, Wolfy.Elias is no more frightened as he is out of aura's AoE
Mibli, on the other hand, is having a hard time evading the swarming bites. Mibli takes 11 P damage. She gets out of the swarm and pummels the swarm with rocks.

The Pathfinders successfully eliminate the threats and report back the result of their investigation. "This is worse than what we expect. Thank you, Pathfinders!" he tells them before he dismisses them to other tasks.
You have ten-minute rest before the next mission. But instead of that, we are activating Expedient Travel condition: The Pathfinders have reached the town of Folien much quicker than expected, giving the PCs some extra time to gather defenses. Once during Part 2 when the PCs would take a 10-minute rest, they instead gain the benefits of a full night’s rest.
As Pathfinders work to set up their makeshift campsite, Fola Barun comes over, a contemplative look on her face. “As outsiders here, we don’t know much about this village. The queen was able to tell us only that her informants said this town is the center of some plot, and Viore, while he knows some information about the layout, hasn’t been here in over a decade — things tend to change in that amount of time. I’d like you to talk to some of the townsfolk. Try to find out what you can about what’s been happening from them.”
The town isn’t very large, so going around to talk to people is straightforward. While Folien has always been more welcoming to outsiders than most towns in Kyonin, this sudden influx of such a large group, and Pathfinders nonetheless, has everyone a little guarded.
There are several locations that are open to you with the associated skills below, or you can use DC 17 Diplomacy, DC 17 Intimidation, or DC 17 Deception to gather information for all locations:
Locations and Skills:
• Apothecary — DC 17 Arcana, DC 17 Crafting, DC 17 Medicine, DC 17 Nature, DC 17 Occultism, DC 17 Religion, or any appropriate Lore skill, such as DC 15 Herbalism Lore or DC 15 Midwifery Lore
• Constabulary and Town Lockup — DC 17 Athletics, DC 17 Society, DC 17 Stealth, DC 17 Thievery, or any appropriate Lore skill, such as DC 15 Legal Lore or DC 15 Underworld Lore
• Dockhouse — DC 17 Acrobatics, DC 17 Athletics, DC 17 Nature, DC 17 Survival, or any appropriate Lore skill, such as DC 15 Fishing Lore or DC 15 Sailing Lore
• Farmer’s Market — DC 17 Crafting, DC 17 Medicine, DC 17 Society, DC 17 Thievery, or any appropriate Lore skill, such as DC 15 Farming Lore or DC 15 Mercantile Lore
• Farrier — DC 17 Athletics, DC 17 Crafting, DC 17 Medicine, DC 17 Nature, DC 17 Survival, or any appropriate Lore skill, such as DC 15 Horse Lore or DC 15 Stabling Lore
• Inn — DC 17 Crafting, DC 17 Performance, DC 17 Religion, DC 17 Society, or any appropriate Lore skill, such as DC 15 Cooking Lore or DC 15 Games Lore
Elf PCs or those from Kyonin have an easier time due to their understanding of the local culture, making the DC reduced by 2. Each PC can attempt two checks, with the following results.
Critical Success The PCs gain 2 Information Points.

Hm. Perhaps we should take the night's rest. Elias doesn't have much healing to offer, but can drink his potion if need be.
Elias offers to assist first at the dockhouse and then the farrier.
Helping out should help enable some friendly chatting, right?
"Those most in need of seeing new faces are likely to want to hold conversation. I will take a moment to sneak in to the cells." Eovar says while slinking away.
Mibli also decides to go visit the apothecary and then the inn. Unfortunately, she can't really tell the proprietor of the apothecary anything they don't already know and her impromptu tumbling performance at the inn is best not mentioned at all!

The pathfinders go to inquire the citizens of Folien to learn more about the strange happenings in the town, Some go to an inn and apothecary, to the constabulary, docks, and to market. Most of them have learned something while some have difficulty dealing and getting some info.
Overall, they learn that the townspeople have been seeing more and more strange activity in the forest near Folien. Some of it has been just weird crystals popping up that seem to be following strange lines. Also, the forest creatures are acting strangely. They don’t seem to be as friendly as they used to and are getting harder and harder to catch while hunting.
With this valuable information, they report the same back to Fola Barun.
As the sun rises over the camp, the din of Pathfinders getting ready to start another day and the smell of a warm breakfast fills the air. As everyone is starting to eat their breakfast, Eando, Ciobanu, and Fola stand before the group. “As we head out today, we should continue to look for signs of an upcoming assault. With the information you’ve gathered, it’s clear that the one named Nathatel is readying an attack on the town, though we’re still somewhat unsure why.”
As Eando speaks to the group, one of the night scouts approaches Fola, whispering something in her ear. Looking alarmed, she quickly interrupts Eando. “Pathfinders, it’s worse than we feared! Nathatel’s forces are to be attempting to attack from the west. Go, now, stop them before they can breach the town!”
Table GMs, please begin Part 3, beginning in Area E.
The peace of Folien is broken with a pre-dawn ambush. While it is still dark outside, enough time has passed since the Pathfinders made camp for them to benefit from a full night’s rest and do their daily preparations.
The group readies themselves with weapons and shields drawn and heads over to the west side of the town.

Will adjust that.
Raging Elias demoralizes Scout A which makes the enemy pee in his pants. Scout A becomes Frightened 2. And I assume you are striking Scout A that you flank with Miss Sorbet. He then bites off flesh from the same frightened enemy. Scout A takes 13 total damage He then raises shield.
