Sword DC 18: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Ring DC 18: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Onna studies the magic auras. She flicks the ring toward Itami, "This may offer you a bit more protection." She then holds the knife aloft, "This dagger is enchanted too. Who likes working up close and personal?"

Feel free to review the spoilers.

I would not be a good candidate for the dagger. I just throw them away Toshiko says as a smile quirky the corners of her mouth up.

"Oh not me! If I am going to use a dagger it won't be in brawls like this....our merfriend should be elated that he can finally bury the rest of his deceased."

"I prefer to keep foes at a distance. Otherwise, there is a danger of harm to oneself. As my wounds evidence..."

Ikari looks towards Hiiragi with a pained expression.

As the last gillman falls, Hiiragi grins, feeling quite proud of herself. She rather quickly starts shrinking back to her normal size, however.

”Toshiko, I believe you throwing it might still be more useful than it sitting on my hip as a decoration,” she advises.

She considers Ikari’s wounds a moment, her mood darkening a touch. ”These blows were well-struck; fret not, though! Our Lady provides for her skulk, and has placed me here when you needed Her.”

With that, she finally stows her flail, placing one hand on her forehead and the other on Ikari’s wounds. Before they even have time to sting in response to her touch, they begin to heal;
Channel Positive: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 3) = 10

Any nicks and scrapes the rest of the party may have gained ease away under Daikitsu’s light as well.

Toshiko takes the dagger and puts it in her bandiolier.

Well if you are sure

"Many thanks, Hiiragi. Shall we return to the living gillman, friends? Even cleansed of the undead, this midden holds nothing worthy."

”I believe so. We have more passages to catalog, if I’m not mistaken, after all,” says the priestess.

"These make for dreary notes to give to Janira. I doubt she will mind though...Pathfinders live for this type of adventure from what I hear." Juzo says marking down the threats found in this tunnel...

Onna hands the enchanted blade over to Toshiko. "While it was no minotaur, we did just destroy some abominations. No small feat. I should think Janira will tell us to take pride in our accomplishment." The archaeologist takes one more look around before leaving the chamber.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 17

"We have also brought closure to Uori," she points out. "Were it not for the intervention of foxes and one human wizard the dead would still be without rest. Phrased optimistically, our notes will be an excellent report."

Kenta takes a brief moment in between shuffling bodies in and out of the cavern and flicks his ears a bit to cool himself, "we have a long way to go, the bodies must be put to rest."

He waves a hand towards the dedicated follower of Daikitsu, "plus as she said, we have another room to check and a secret passage to find."

what enemy: 1d6 ⇒ 6
As you travel down the west path the persistent glow of the bluish fungi dimly lights the way deeper below the Kortos Mounts. The tunnels broaden to reveal a shallow river that bisects an immense tunnel stretching to the north and south. To the east a small passage exits the chamber at a steep incline. Across the river is some gross looking mold, but otherwise, this cavern doesn't look too interesting.

You can make one roll for both or two separate rolls if you'd like.

Perception DC 19: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Perception DC 20: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Kenta notices nothing of interest other than the gross looking mold. "well, this will be a short note on the report."

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

"I have no idea what that mould is, but I plan on staying clear of it in any case. The river looks shallow enough to wade across. Shall we?"

Ikari looks to his companions. Not moving off before everyone's had a chance at the perception checks though.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

"We shan't!" says Hiiragi, holding an arm out to stop Ikari's forward advance. "See there?"

She points at a small, suspiciously-colored tile on the bank. "There's a pressure plate here. Either a trap or an alarm, I would assume. An excellent trick, but not one we'd like to be on the receiving end of, I'm certain."

Itami deftly snatches the ring out of the air and places it upon his finger with a nod of his head.

The aged sorcerer quietly follows behind the lot as they travel the next tunnel expanse. Observant, a useful trait. Who knows what grisly fate would await the recipient of that trap. Curious is the trapmaker's art...

Outlined the trap on the map since it has been spotted.

Kenta pulls out some rope and wraps it around his waist, "nice eye on that trap." He holds out the other end of the rope, "Hold onto this so I don't get swept down the river and I'll try to cross down here (red x). Then we can secure the rope to make it easier for everyone else to get across and maybe up close that gross mold stuff will be easier to identify.

Hiiragi takes the other end of the rope. "Works for me! If you start getting carried away, I'll grow."

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 4

"That sounds like a fantastic plan! I cannot see a single thing wrong with it."

Swim across if you like. I will stay over here on this side of that stream. I want nothing to do with that mold

The water is difficult terrain, but it is a very lazy river. No chance of being swept away or anything and its only about 2ft deep.

The slime begins moving towards you with weird slorping sounds! It probably wants to eat you! Not being a smart creature, it heads directly to you, triggering the pressure plate on itself.
DARTS SHOOT FROM EVERYWHERE, vs slime: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Toshiko moves out of the pack and throws a dagger, not the +1 dagger, just a normal dagger at the slime.

Dagger: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Hiiragi closes her eyes, raising her voice in prayer to Daikitsu. Her allies feel a blessing guiding their bodies to strike true and steeling their hearts against fear!

Bless!

Common Knowledge Dungeoneering, capped at DC 10: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3

"WHAT THE HECK! IT MOVED!" He rushes forwards, not worried about the rope anymore and pulls his bastard sword, hacking at the hungry looking mold pile, "Have at you foul thing of foulness!"

Move up while drawing bastard sword, attack Mold.

Bastard Sword - Power Attack + Bless: 1d20 + 3 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 1 + 1 = 13 for Slashing + PA: 1d10 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 3 = 11

Knowledge Dungeoneering: 1d20 ⇒ 12 Maxed at 10 but gets the lesser spoiler.

"Sickening...it is a slime mold. We have had those crop up in dungeons and coffers in the past. I wouldn't dare touch it." he says disgusted while moving away from the slime and pulling out his sling.

"Do we have any of that fire or splashy acid left?"

Unsure of what to do, Onna moves up behind Kenta and stabs at the moving moss. "I don't think making it slippery will do anything."

"Mould that moves? I hope pointy objects are sufficient to stop it!"

Ikari moves up and thrusts his spear at it.

More threats to excise from this cave. Itmai fires a bolt from his wand at the moving mold. Seems to be quite the lucky Gillman if he has never run into trouble down here. Or a liar.

Magic Missile vs Mold: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

All of you kitsune together deal enough damage to stop the slime from moving (33 from my count out of 28 hp). You quickly and easily find the hidden passage leading back out of the tunnels and wind up back at the entrance nex to Janira.

Having already defeated the Minotaur and reported your findings to Janria, she confirms that you have completed your mission of exploring the caves and discovering why the Gillmen were visiting. She then leads your expedition back to Absalom without further incident.

Once safely back in the Grand Lodge, Master of Scrolls Kreighton Shaine inquires excitedly about what the you have found and asks to see their notes.

He compliments those who recorded notes, for being certain to write down ideas and observations while the thoughts are fresh, observing that it’s difficult enough to remember what one had for breakfast the day before as it is to recall exactly what one was thinking while studying an inscription.

As the you are now the foremost authorities on that cave and what it contains, Shaine also invites them to come up with its name.

Shaine also is certain to compliment Janira for her guidance and assistance, much to the halfling’s delight. He makes sure to remind you, however, that not every pathfinder returns from their missions and that being a Pathfinder is a dangerous career, but also a rewarding one.

Three days later, the Master who best represents each of your interests, either the Master of Scrolls, Spells, or Swords, confirms that you are all full Pathfinder field agents. As part of the ceremony, that mentor also gifs a personalized wayfinder to the PC, reminding him or her that this is not only the symbol of the Pathfinder's trade, but also a reminder of the three principle duties: explore, report, and cooperate.

And thats it! Confirmation is a really short scenario, especially with decently built PCs that steamroll the easy encounters.
