"Tell it, we mean it no harm and that it's the most impressive mushroom creature we've ever seen."
Seeing as Hrolf has +9 Diplo., you just squeak by on the check.
The fungoid begins chattering rapidly and motioning to the party to follow. Helo ffrindiau! Dilynwch fi os ydych am basio drwy fy ngardd. Mae'n gardd hyfryd, diolch i chi. Byddwch yn ofalus a pheidiwch â chyffwrdd unrhyw beth neu gallech anafu.
Sylvan:
Hello friends! Follow me if you want to pass through my garden. It is a lovely garden, thank you. Be wary and do not touch anything or you could injured.
Not really waiting for an answer, the fungoid begins to trace a circuitous path through the fungal garden.

Han holds out his flask for Tsusoku. "Be wary though, rum is very strong. Almost deadly if you are not careful."

The party follows the fungoid, who's name you learn is Zinko. It bids you farewell and you continue on your way. The tunnel you are in, travels for about 650', gently sloping downward. You come to a tee and while checking Sascha's directions you find a note scrawled on the back that reads; Pathfinders, my memory is not what it used to be, so I'm writing this note in case I forget to mention it at our meeting. Be wary! There is a fire trap that my companions and I left set at the base of the steps leading to the door. If I forgot to tell you, I hope you read this before you get a nasty surprise. Sascha. Standing at the tee, you see a collapsed portion of the tunnel across from you and what looks to be another tunnel crossroads leading about 50' further down the tunnel.

So I missed that there was trap, because I wasn't to that section yet in the game I'm in as a player, so hadn't read that part of the scenario and forgot that Sascha told us about the trap. In my defense, at the beginning of the scenario, there is a note about Sascha mentioning the trap, but its buried in text. Even though I knew it was there, it took me three readings last night to find it again. Anyway, assuming you asked Sascha about the trap, she would have, could have told you; its a magical fire trap she set herself on the door, but it has a proximity trigger of around 20 ft, hence the base of the stairs. She offered no advice on how to disable the trap. Sorry for the confusion.

Tsusuko hefts his Tower Shield which actually IS a tower shield and not a famacile thing; he just doesn't actually strap it to his arm and carries it around."This'n got me through an arrow trap. Will't work on fire doors?"

Tsusoku walks a bit down the tunnel to the east and finally sees the door up the north hall on the intersection. He begins the slow walk toward the door, shield held in front. As he approaches the door, the party hears a faint ringing, before suddenly there is a quick inrush of air, followed by a booming explosion of fire issuing from the hall as Tsusoku is blown backward onto his back.
There isn't an AC listed, it's just damage to all in the area. So off the hip, I figured with the shield I would automatically halve the damage. It should have been 8d6. Is that fair? Like I said, I was improvising here. Your thoughts are welcome.
Since you asked, I looked a little harder at the Magic section.

It actually should ignore any kind of cover that isn't like a hamster ball. Slam me with that last 4d6. Were it a cone like burning hands, I think I'd be entirely unaffected, but that's not really the case.

Cover and Reflex Saves:
Cover grants you a +2 bonus on Reflex saves against attacks that originate or burst out from a point on the other side of the cover from you. Note that spread effects can extend around corners and thus negate this cover bonus.
Partial Cover
If a creature has cover, but more than half the creature is visible, its cover bonus is reduced to a +2 to AC and a +1 bonus on Reflex saving throws. This partial cover is subject to the GM's discretion.
Total Cover
If you don't have line of effect to your target (that is, you cannot draw any line from your square to your target's square without crossing a solid barrier), he is considered to have total cover from you. You can't make an attack against a target that has total cover.
Improved Cover
In some cases, such as attacking a target hiding behind an arrowslit, cover may provide a greater bonus to AC and Reflex saves. In such situations, the normal cover bonuses to AC and Reflex saves can be doubled (to +8 and +4, respectively). A creature with this improved cover effectively gains improved evasion against any attack to which the Reflex save bonus applies. Furthermore, improved cover provides a +10 bonus on Stealth checks.
Yeah, I found the cylinder rules, too. That's the one thing I hate about the comprehensiveness of the CRB; they jump around so hardcore for stuff like this, but that's unavoidable in a superbook like that.

All that extra 8 damage means is another two wand charges, really.
Hilarious fact: When I ran this for the local group, I did 15 points of damage. I rolled so many ones, it wasn't even funny. Pregen Valeros barely noticed it.
Tsusuko's shield does very little when the flames encompass his entire person in a swirling mass of fire. He looks back with his slightly singed face as he opens the door (with all burnt hair already reforming.)
"... Door's open."
He then draws a stick and pokes himself with it a few times.

As the party watches their resident trap triggerer dust himself off and then heal himself. Suddenly a crossbow bolt flies by Chun, clattreing onto the floor. Looking in the direction the bolt came from, the party sees a creature similar to the one near the pipe.

Brick Wall, being out of place for providing his signature wall-like defensive line, moves close to the fight while freeing up room for him to move faster.
Unstrap tower shield from my arm as a move-equivalent and move 30' closer to the fight. I can see the map from my phone at work, but can't move the pieces.

"One of you should help little Glau." Han fires a shot at the blob next to her.

If possible Chun Hei would like to make the blob reroll it's crit against Glauraung.
Misfortune:
(Ex): At 1st level, as an immediate action, you can force a creature within 30 feet to reroll any one d20 roll that it has just made before the results of the roll are revealed. The creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it’s worse than the original roll. Once a creature has suffered from your misfortune, it cannot be the target of this revelation again for 1 day.
Either way Chun Hei will move up and aid the Gnome as best she can.
"Do not worry little one, I will not let you be eaten be the blob." says Chun Hei as she artfully maneuvers her blade in between Glaurang and the Ooze.
Brick wordlessly double-moves his way to the square just south of the gnome, drawing his longsword along the way and carrying his tower shield in his hands. His hair begins to thrash around more violently, just as it did in the previous combat.
