Last night we had a scenario where character #1 was being attacked by a jinkin gremlin. Since the creature is tiny and has 0 reach, they were both in the same square. Characters #2 & #3 were on either side of character #1 in a 5' passage.

Now, character #4 says he wants to move through the space occupied by character #2 and jump on the gremlin (to grapple it). This would leave both character #4 and character #1 in the same square. I presume that this is not a legal move?

What if there were only 2 characters in the battle (one in the same square as the gremlin). Would the character in the adjacent square be able to grapple the gremlin? If so, I would presume that the adjacent character would move the gremlin into his own square?

Thanks

If a monster uses a full-round attack, it can use all the attacks listed, right? Does this still apply if one of the attacks is melee and the other is ranged?

When running a monster as the GM:

Do monsters get to score critical hits?

If the monster has, let's say, a bite and two claws, do all the attacks have to be against the same player?

If the monster gets an attack of opportunity, can it bite and attack with its claws?

I feel like I'm missing a whole section somewhere...

I am relatively new to Pathfinder and recently started running a Rise of the Runelords campaign. Some modules appear to map packs or flip mats associated with them, but not this one I believe. (Also, this gets expensive.) The modules come with nice maps - how do you incorporate them into your games?

Do you draw each room on a game mat? (some of the maps are quite detailed, making this tedious)

Do you scan & print out the maps and try to get the scale correct? (or export them if from PDF)

Any other suggestions?

Can a character use acrobatics to move out of a threatened square while prone to avoid an AoO? Thanks.

If the characters are expecting a creature to be in a particular place (e.g. someone told them where the creature is), but the creature is hiding and wins its stealth check, are the characters surprised?
