Zorlax tries to follow the other two, but looses his footing on the talus and slides back down harmlessly.
Danyn grabs a fistful of coins and though he is not struck down, he seems to perceive the clouds darkening ever so slightly and he begins to think he may not have a very lucky day.
Approximate value of gems and coins? About 585 gp and one copper piece.
Danyn returns the fistful of coins and immediately feels more lucky. After he tosses in the copper piece, he feels a wave of warmth amd well-being flow over him.

Kassi attempts to climb the cliff to join the rest of the group.
1d20 ⇒ 5
When she finally does she attempts to identify the woman after placing a gold peice in the offering bowl. 1d20 ⇒ 19 plus modifiers depending on what the roll is
Kassi also feels a wave of warmth after placing the gold piece. She tries to identify the statue. She thinks it might represent a Taldan woman, but her knowledge in this area lacks formal training.
Takahiro takes his time to pick his way up and find out what is going on "A shrine to a friendly mountain spirit? We have those at home, make sure we leave a small offering or it might send rocks crashing upon us!" Takahiro will leave a silver if he can make it up there. After Danyn has taken the bowl...
Everyone is able to make it to the ledge with little difficulty. After Danyn removes the offerings, the rest of the party leaves their own offerings. Returning to the path, the party makes good time as the trail wends it's way down out of the mountains. The party manages to get to the foothills before having to stop and make camp. The night passes uneventfully and the next morning, all rise in good spirits. The following day on the trail, the air begins to feel warmer and more humid. Shortly thereafter, the ground begins to get muddy and eventually the party finds themselves trekking through swampy lowlands.
"Sparkle Elf is so much more easy to understand in water forest. Dead men coats are not much help now, though," Meatbeat adds, still wearing the Cold Weather clothes.
As the party makes their way into the swamp, thick blobs of fog dance in between large tickets as the foul stench of swamp gas pollutes the air. Several exotic species of vines twist along the vapor-shrouded path, creating an ethereal seeming tangle. At random intervals, a splash of fetid water sounds in the distance, signaling the presence of frogs
or other bog creatures.

Navigating through the swamp proves vexing for most of the party. Danyn and Kassi manage to keep to dry ground the eight hours it takes to navigate the swamp, but everyone one else slips and falls into the mire at some point. Takahiro tkaes the worst of it, slipping once an hour except the last. As the party finds dry ground again, Meatbeat, Zorlax and Takahiro feel as if the miasma they inhaled when falling seems to have gone to their lungs. Everyone but Danyn and Kassi also notice that their spills in the swamp have allowed leeches to attach themselves.
Leeches: Meatbeat has four, Asuna has nine, Zorlax and Takahiro have ten leeches each.
Leeches:
Each leech deals 1 point of Constitution
damage that is recovered as soon as the PC is healed in
any way (a DC 12 Fortitude save negates this damage).
Once a leech deals damage, it becomes bloated and falls
off. Leeches can be pulled or burnt off (which deals 1 hp
of damage to the host), or can be rubbed with salt until
they drop off (which deals no damage to the host). Any
creature with at least 1 point of natural armor can ignore
the effects of the leeches.
"I do not know. Perhaps more are under shirt. You should look now. We can help and see." Meatbeat suggests, removing the dead-guy clothing that is now apparently filled with leeches. Should his ruse work, he then readies to high-five Danyn (or nearest bro).

"They eat through steel?"
She responds, alarmed and confused at the thought while looking down the front of her shirt at the chain armor she is wearing.

I can't fail this check, lol. Sense Motive 1d20 ⇒ 3 "Sir Dwarf, we do not know much about this land or its people, but we think you are trying to take advantage of us."
She says slightly disappointed while releasing the collar of her shirt.
@Asuna "I am not try to take advantage of you and your flesh mounds."
@Kaneka "I am skill at rip and tear bug. Is easy with muscles." Meatbeat quickly rips one off, and makes another very unsettling face at the resulting feeling. He deftly draws his mug and drinks a hefty chug. He then wiggles his now bloodied fingers at Asuna. "See? If there are bug to rip under shirt, let Meatbeat. I will do if you not want. I also have ale to help pain not happen."
The party finds a dry place to camp and is able to remove the leeches. The night passes uneventfully and everyone is able to recover from the leech wounds with the aid of Takahiro. The following morning, the party rises, the sunlight having a sickly green-yellow in the miasma. Meatbeat finds he is coughing a lot and not feeling well.
The party sets out and after short time the come across a large log that rests across the dirt path, standing five feet tall. A moldering wood door covers one of the hollow ends of the log, and a makeshift mud chimney emits a thin wisp of blue smoke. From behind the crude house come the sound of someone humming an off-key tune.
It's two saves to cure. I likely had a lesser onset time. Meatbeat, having been slightly delusional, did accept Zorlax's offer to prove his intent, despite not realizing it made no sense to accept.
Sorry for the lack of explanation, was in a hurry this morning. I did post that you weren't feeling good. Your and Zorlax's onset time is three days, so I was going to wait to address your if you didn't make two consecutive saves.
You have an illness. It has not manifested like it has in meatbeat. Yours will onset in two more days unless you make the saves. For now, you have no symptoms, so essentially no, you're not sick yet.
The humanoid stands up at the commotion and Asuna recognizes the creature to be a kobold. The kobold steps back and chants a few words as the club she is holding begins to glow.
Everyone but Danyn are up. The log requires a DC 10 Climb to go over. The area north of the log counts as difficult terrain.
Depending on Tektite's interpretation of corners, it looks like a double-move through the difficult terrain would get you just barely to it.
---
What would be my chances of making a "door" in the log, Kool-Aid Man-style? Strength check, a sunder, or something? In the thought of efficiency, I'll throw a d20 out there, and see if it's relevant. If the Kool-Aid options aren't open, then it's a climb, which is a +0 (due to check penalty.)
Something?:1d20 ⇒ 6Heck, that wouldn't even climb it.
After failing while trying to hazily rip a hole in the log, Meatbeat gives up and tries to climb up the log with his remaining move action.
