Ironshanks lowers his bow and unknocks his arrow "It looks.. dead. Er, somethin'. Lets get back ta helpin' Janira! I got this kid no sweat." He lifts a chin to point to his Halfling baggage.

Sidling out of the crevice, Yangrit jerks a nod at Ironshanks. "Yes, let's hurry!" She bounds toward Janira's voice as quickly as possible in the cramped quarters of the cave.

Duncan lowers his bow, but keeps the arrow nocked. He is trembling and sweating heavily as adrenaline courses through him.
"By the ale of Cayden Cailean's mug, I dinnae think the beasties could be that horrible! It dom near killed Telos. Now Janira be in danger as well. I'd rather face something onna surface than down here in these bloody caves. Let's be off to the light and leave this foul darkness behind us."
He goes with the party desperately seeking to reach the surface.

The steep tunnel opens up on the side of the mountain in a narrow valley between rugged foothills. The sun is nearly spent for the day. It's trailing beams painting the heights red, leaving the valley in near twilight. Still the light is better than the blue-green of the caves below.
Ahead lies a stream whose water is hastened by runoff from a recent storm further up the mountains. A ledge to the south rises up to the nearby forest canopy. Just beyond the stream a winded Janira wearily dodges a giant, frothing beast-man's axe!

Ironshanks rushes past Liv and her rope towards the overgrown bull with equally overgrown axe "Aye we be comin' Janira. We'd have been here sooner but Telos stopped a bit fer some puddin'." As he clomps ahead in his steady fashion he pulls out one of her potions and stops to drink it down. "I hope this potion of yers works in brush n tangles!"

Yangrit, seeing that Janira is likely nearing the end of her strength, puts on as much a burst of speed as her dwarven legs will allow, making a bee line for the log across the stream. Full round action: run in a straight line, difficult terrain accounted for

Janira Gavix, Pathfinder wrote:
"So like the famous Mr. Pepper's said: 'Consider yourself camed at' cowboy!" shouts the halfling.
Did some digging to find that one!
Ironshanks feels light on his feet thanks to Janira's potion, he churns this short legs and knocked knees through the brush and towards the riverbank with ease, longbow still in hand. "Heh, good one Janira! Stay far away from that cow n we'll be there right quick." He eyes up the river with skepticism.

Duncan is exhilarated at being in the open again after the journey through the dark and damp caves and the shock of encountering the horrifying jello monster. He moves forward quickly and raises his bow aiming at the monstrous bovine foe.
TWANG! He loses an arrow at the creature! It Arrow:1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 = 211d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 flies through the air and (possibly) strikes the creature and drives home.

Double move for Yangrit through difficult terrain.
As she shoulders her way past Tusk, Yangrit growls, "Move aside, gangly oaf! As big as you are, you're moving awfully slowly. This is no time for cowardice!"

Janira cogitates for a moment before remembering her mortal peril and she makes a limping, breathless run for it. She makes flying leap across the swift stream and into Ironshanks' arms. **CLANG-ANG-NG-G!!**
Arrows both magical and mundane hit the monster. It bellows in rage, and with two quick swings of its giant can-opener-shaped axe the minotaur frees itself of its gooey prison with some terribly impressive authority.

Duncan fist pumps in the air as he sees his first arrow sink to its fletchings in the minotaur. Buoyed by the success, he moves forward and nocks another arrow, aims quickly, and lets fly again once more.

Liv waits patiently for the minotaur to get a little closer, the very moment the minotaur gets within 25 feat of her she calls forth the gloom and terror of the cattlepen slaughterfields.

Yangrit steps up to the bridge 5 foot step, but doesn't cross. She's brave, but knows her limits well enough to realize she'd be dead in moments if she went toe to to with Big Moo over there.
"Split apart, everyone! Try to draw it between us so we can flank it!"
She whips out her sling and fires off a shot, cynically muttering, "Though it'll just annoy the thing if I hit it."

Telos gets irritated as the grass starts to slow him down, and further when the rest of the party moves more quickly through it and gets in the way of him seeing the cow creature.
10', move action (difficult terrain)
"Still here!"
Again his little fist flies up out of the grass, launching an arcane bolt towards the monster.

Annoyed at the stinging sling stone that ricochets off its head and amid it's horns for a moment and the halfling sorcerer's nettlesome magic the minotaur's eyes burn with fury. Then in a moment of clarity where if the sport had existed on Golarion the big bullman would have imagined the party members as a tight cluster of pins the thing formulates a very simple plan. It pulls a small cube of chalk from its belt and applies it to each of its horn tips, tosses it aside and charges!

Ironshank's eyes go a bit wide as he watches the flying beefsteak leap the frothy stream like a burger into a bun Holy cow, now I've seen everything! He shakes his head, salt and pepper beard bouncing from left to right, trying to get the image out of his mind's eye.
"If ye want us so bad ya got us!" He drops his bow and draws out his war axe as he steps up with a mighty over head chop, aiming for the haft of the monster's axe.

Duncan lines up another shot, a bit mortified at just how far off his last shot was, and really hoping that no one noticed it in the heat of the battle. The self-propelled prime rib (rare with au jus and horseradish) fills his sights and he lets loose again!

"You know, Janira is singing her song, but I think this calls for a song about water."
"I don't know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret
I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Push me in the river, dip me in the water"

Reminder: Telos is out of town, so I'll bot him:
"Whoa! Too close!" Telos instinctively utters as the Minotaur lands a mere 15' away from him. He retreats back through the brush, wishing his body had carved an open path on the way in. Then he lets looses another magic missile at the monster mooooo. Telos is down to 1 first level spell left after this turn.
Magic Missile, Inspired:1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
And now for Yangrit:
Yangrit sidles into range, flanking the mighty moo with Ironshanks, her face full of trepidation and her body full of purpose. She immediately lets fly with a flurry of blows, hoping against all hope that her fists can pummel hard enough to hurt the mountainous mass before her.

Add one point of damage to his last blow. I forgot the bonus from the whetstone. I'm going to post two sets of actions, depending on whether Tusk is prone or not...
If prone...
Tusk stands up (provoking, ouch!), steps forward, and tries to repeat his previous two-handed smite.
To Hit Ax:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 Damage ax, sharpened:1d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9
If not prone...
Tusk steps forward, and this time tries to land a one-two with the two ends of his ax.
To Hit Ax:1d20 ⇒ 12 Damage ax:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
To Hit Ax:1d20 ⇒ 10 Damage ax, sharpened:1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10
This calls for a character portfolio reroll! To hit reroll on first attack...
To Hit Ax:1d20 ⇒ 3, +2 if the two handed attack.
But it seems he has met his match and nothing lands.
