Wilbur doesn't do clever; he just keeps on fighting.

Beetle Battle Round 2
The combat devolves into a melee free-for-all.
Fiona is out of the fight, trapped in tahini.
Noh, Dame Simonetta, Wilbur, Beppo, Bilfur, Douglas, Ginger, and Willie all miss.
Robur and Dougal each kill a beetle.
Kiplyn's backstab is successful, and he kills a beetle.
The sixth and final beetle takes a big chunk out of Dame Simonetta!
The last beetle is on the ropes. You got this! But be careful--Dame Simonetta, Bilfur, Noh, and Beppo are only a single hit away from death. Any modifications to your strategy for what should be the decisive Round 3?
Melee initiative, party wins 6-1
Fiona = stuck
Noh 13
Dame Simonetta 6
Wilbur 5
Beppo 10
Bilfur 7
Douglas 7
Ginger 2
Willie 12
Kiplyn backstab 13 hit for 7hp killing a beetle
Robur 18 hit for 4hp killing a beetle
Dougal 17 hit for 6hp killing a beetle
1 beetle remains; morale 2d6=10
bite vs Dame Simonetta 18 hit for 5hp dropping her to 2/12hp!

A 13 didn't hit, I'm just realizing! Krikey!!
Noh, acting braver than he feels, flicks his shoulder for
Carc to fly up out of the way (just in case) and attacks again, "
these things must have an interesting internal anatomy," the druid says before bringing down the cudgel!

OOC: That is correct: Kiplyn's 13 only hit because he has 4th level thac0 (and that 13 is including the +4 backstab bonus). Tahini beetles are soft and sesame on the inside, but with a crunchy shell on the outside!

Kiplyn will look for an opening on the remaining Beetle (we call him Paul).
It's good to be a hero ;P

If Robur can get in there with his Hobbit stiletto, why he'll stiletto that thing! How dare it hurt his friends!

It's been a hard day's night, but Dame Simonetta won't let it be, she continues to help!
