The battle-axe of the minotaur looks broken, and both minotaur and Janira are covered in blood.
After getting Lee 'close enough' the foxy zealot bellows in a profound manner!
"IN THE NAME OF RAGATHIEL, JUSTICE IS SERVED! Smite the wrongdoer!"
She loads up her light crossbow and moves to the outside range and lets fly with a bolt!
She will then move up and cast Color Spray (DC 15) on the minotaur in the next round, followed by:
OR
And thennnn...
Round 1:
Hastur moves forward, wading through the undergrowth.
Round 1:
Hastur and Darkwing move closer to the minotaur, hoping to get there in time. Medea takes a running jump, and just about makes it to the other side of the stream.
Janira takes a step backward, and lashes out with her whip. She has little luck with her strike, but keeps shouting As Jebediah Heliotrope ripped apart the evil devils of Belzeranga to win the Acadamae tournament, so shall we prevail against you!
Unfortunately, the axe remains firmly in the grip of the minotaur. The minotaur steps in and slashes wildly at Janira, in a bloodied frenzy, but misses as the nimble halfling evades all attacks.
Scarlet fox starts moving as well, while Ragathiel's hand casts a bless spell.
Round 2
Dakrwing and Hastur move some more, crossing the stream past the slippery log, while Medea moves to strike but misses.
Janira takes out her tanglefoot bag, takes a step back and throws it at the minotaur, covering it in a sticky mass of goo.
The Minotaur only becomes more enrages at this, steps up again and hacks at Janira. This time the battle-axe hits, and it hurts Janira badly.She collapses from the wounds, rapidly bleeding out.
Ragathiel's hand moves up with her crossbow, and fire at the minotaur, missing by a wide margin.

Round 3:
Hastur unleashes a blast of weirdly coruscating tendrils of colors from his hands, which phase in and out of reality, moving in short bursts of speed, then inching forward slowly, but inexorably, before they envelop the minotaur, and attempt to force their way into his eyes, mouth, and nose, like parasites searching for a new host.
Hastur sprays the minotaur with a bright flash of colours, leaving the lumbering beast stupefied. It drops its axe, and is unable to move.
Medea attacks again, and with the target immobilised, slashing at the minotaur is a lot easier.
Ragathiel's hand moves up and rains down some heavenly fire on the minotaur.

"Janira, I've got you, but you've got to be more careful in the future. Explore, Report, Cooperate. Help us bring it down."
Sneak Attack: If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
The rogue's attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike), a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.
The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.

5 or more HD: The creature is stunned for 1 round.
Sightless creatures are not affected by color spray.
Stunned: A stunned creature drops everything held, can't take actions, takes a –2 penalty to AC, and loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any).

Scarlet fox's Round 1 action was to double move closer to Janira.
Round 2:
The Scarlet Fox nimbly jumps over the stream and gets close enough to cast a color spray at the beast, hoping to at least blind him.
Round 3:
The Scarlet Fox will try another color spray at the beast.
The Scarlet Fox tosses an acid flask at him.
Round 4
Janira is still bleeding as Ragathiel's hand revives her. I... I should best get out of the way, Janira says, scrambling away from the minotaur, that slowly starts moving again.
Only until the Scarlet fox comes in to blind the minotaur with a color spray.
Round 5
Hastur spray another flash of bright colors at the minotaur, stunning it again.
Scarlet fox makes good use of the situation by tossing a flask of acid at the minotaur, while Janira starts her singing again. Medea finally manages to cut the creature, while Ragathiel's hand rain down heavenly fire.
Round 6
..and again Hasturs's flash of light stuns the minotaur.
Medea makes good use of the free stabbing at the minotaur, puncturing the cow-man's spleen with a sharp stab. The creature looks near death.

Round 3
Darkwng runs up to the minotaur and gets into a flank with Medea, and lashes at it with a clawed wing.
"Eat quack-fu, you Taurus Bulba knock-off!"
Round 4
Darkwing continues his onslaught as a white blur of beak, claw and curiously white feathers.
"I am the terror, that quacks in the night!"
Round 5
Darkwing continues his onslaught as a white blur of beak, claw and curiously white feathers.
"I am the janitor, that sweeps away the bull-s#@#!"
Round 6
Darkwing continues his onslaught as a white blur of beak, claw and curiously white feathers.
"I...am Darkwing...DUCK!"
The situation was dire, for sure, but with the fu-bombing of Darkwing, and the sprays of bright colors of Scarlet and Hastur, the monster did not stand a chance. With a last, loud moo, the creature collapsed, leaving the party staring in the eyes of Janira, clearly wondering what would have happened had the party tarried only a bit longer.

RH goes bounding back to the caverns!
"I'm going to check the tunnels to make sure we're secure. It could take a bit, they are extensive! Don't wait up!"
Modesta will walk back up, serene, calm.
"Janira, we found a gillman! He's deaf, but he knows Common, and he's very enlightened and very wise. We would all do well to learn more from him!"
Darkwing will pick up the wayfinder after being "inducted" into the society.
Drake Mallard shows up at work the next day and voices his sceptism about there being white-feathered tengus on Golarion. ;)
Winter Feathers is a L1 racial spell for tengu. It's not as far-fetched as one might believe...
School abjuration; Level cleric 1, druid 1, inquisitor 1, ranger 1, sorcerer/wizard 1
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range touch
Target feathered creature touched
Duration 24 hours
Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
The target's feathers thicken and fluff up to ward against winter's chill. The target suffers no harm from being in a cold environment, and can exist comfortably in conditions as low as –50 degrees Fahrenheit without having to make Fortitude saves. The creature's equipment is likewise protected. This spell doesn't provide any protection from cold damage, nor does it protect against other environmental hazards associated with cold weather (such as slipping on ice, blindness from snow, and so on).
When you cast this spell, you may have the target's feathers turn white for the duration, granting it a +4 circumstance bonus on Stealth checks to hide in ice and snow.
It was none other than Aram Zey who led the ceremony. He had an air of tiredness on him, as if a burden was weighing on him, and he praised the strange group before him in his own special way. Well, don't think that one successful mission makes you invulnerable, there's many more dangers out there.
The hall was nevertheless erupted in a cheer when the six new pathfinder were handed their wayfinder, and soon there were murmurs about the strange name the initiates had given the cave they explored.
And with that, the group learned how to explore, report, cooperate, and skive four minutes off changing costumes.
