Tessara makes it to the other side of the river without incident. The minotaur swings his broken battleaxe at Janira but the halfling dodges.

Auri circles the minotaur, putting herself between the creature and Janira, while hopefully also providing a distraction to allow the others to attack the creatures unprotected back.

She then swings her massive sword at the evil beast!

attack, smite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 = 11

That is almost certainly an AOO on me given it is a large creature.

Nemrok cast Grease Reflex DC14 on the minotaur's weapon before moving near it.

I use my Arcane Bond weapon to cast a spell from my spellbook

Hadanka sends another stone hurling into the melee.
sling attack into melee: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 4 = 9, if hits sling damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Then he moves toward the log to join the others.

Tessara walks towards the monster, moves into a flank position with Auriferous, and engages it in melee.

Longsword (combat expertise, flank): 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 1 + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Auriferous approaches the creature and swings her sword at the beast. She hits, but compared to the size of the sword the wounds are small. The minotaur tries to hit her with his greataxe in return. 10 ft. reach
Greataxe vs. Auriferous: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 2 = 22 Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

Nemrok tries to make the creature loose its weapon, but the beast's grip is firm.
Reflex: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 2 = 23

Hádanka's sling stone hits the greataxe instead of the minotaur, but Tessara's Longsword pierces the beast. Janira takes a step back and shoots a crossbow bolt at the creature.
Crossbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Nemroc took a 5ft. step and strike at the beast !

masterwork Greataxe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damages: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

But he missed !

Badly wounded, Auriferous frantically makes her peace with her diety even as she strikes out at the horrible beast.

attack with flank: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 = 14

Tessara continues attacking the bull creature.

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
As Hadanka rushes to the melee, he drops his sling, and readies his club for pounding some cow.

Nemrok swings his greataxe at the beast but misses. Hadanka drops his sling and advances to the other side of the river. Auriferous and Tessara attack the beast and finally defeat it.

The minotaur falls and the ground shakes. Janira’s thanks you profusely and promises to submit a glowing recommendation for your heroism.

"Tell me, what did you find in the caves?" she asks.

Glad to see you well and alive Janira ! said Nemrok before going for his notes and answering Janira's question.

We found an old Gillman, Uori, in a small pond. He was a priest of some sort, a guardian of an ancient temple of Aroden !
Here, in his cave, there was a replica of an old version of Absalom, created by Aroden himself if we believed Uori, and when we make the ritual depicted in another part of the temple, we were bless by Aroden himself !
As I mention before, there was a cave where "the twelve guises of Aroden" were depicted, very ancient carvings. Unfortunately only four were still visible. It was an old version of the History and Future of Humanity Aroden Holy Text.
The reason for Gillmen to go in these caves was to meditate in this particuliar pond as its water was the cleanest of the entire area. A place of pilgrimage of some sort.

He said, reading his notes.

We also found protocarvings, certainly engraved by the Gillmen prilgrims, the corps of a will be necromancer and we've destroyed his minions. And we also meet two members a kobold tribe claiming the other part of the caves. We made peace with them. he added.

Janira listens to Nemrok's summary and her eyes grow bigger and bigger.

"That's a lot what you have found. You discovered a lost place of Aroden's worshippers, maybe the carvings and the old version of Absalom were created by Aroden himself, which would make sense if it's true what the gilman said. I hope you took notes of everything. A dead necromancer is a good necromancer and making peace with a kobold tribe is also worth to be mentioned in the Chronicles and in one of my songs." she says. "I'm glad you survived the necromancer's minion's assault."

Nemrok gave his notes to Janira.

All is in here he said. Except our fight with some sort of jelly creature. We won't have time to stop and write what we fought, as we heard your song.

Competent summary nemrok. I can't think of anything else to add.

While the others talk to Janira, Tessera makes sure the minotaur is dead and searches its body.

Tessara cuts the throat of the minotaur and while searching for anything useful she finds only a broken greataxe and three javelins.

Auri just sits down while the others talk and takes out her sketch book to show the pictures she drew to Janira.

"Sorry, that axe took more out of me than I realised.."

"Did you brin my backpack with you?" Janira asks. She takes out the wand of cure light wounds and uses it on Auriferous.
Heal: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Auriferous ensures the various items from the backpack are gathered up and returned to Janira.

"My thanks Lady Janira. So not only have we explored the cave system, but have done good by removing a threat within the area. We even found a couple of interesting trinkets in the necromancers lair!"
