Carrick considers the oversized mollusks. He studies the reddish one as it moves.
They seems slow, perhaps we just make haste and pass them up. I see no reason to dispatch them. He comments to the others.
move to studied target red, Ready my Standard to move 30' if the party decides to just move on past the slow slugs.
FYI everyone -- starting tomorrow I'll be traveling off the grid with little to no internet for the next week. So please feel free to bot Carrick. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Toral readies himself for the arrival of the slugs.
“I don’t think that we can circumvent them!!“
He 5 ft steps, takes out a rod and readies to ensnare the red colored slug when it is within 30 ft.
Using SILKSTRING SNARE for 11 rounds with reflex DC 22:
The shaman causes ribbons of spider silk to erupt from the ground beneath a single creature. The target must succeed at a Reflex save or be entangled and anchored in place. The foe can escape the silk as a standard action with a successful Escape Artist or Strength check at the same DC, or by dealing an amount of damage to the silk equal to double the shaman’s class level (the silk has hardness 0). This hex lasts a number of rounds equal to 3 + the shaman’s Wisdom modifier. A creature affected by this hex cannot be affected by it again for 24 hours.

“Arghh!!!“ Toral shouts and he casts resist energy acid on himself.
Grunyak, Philthy, Fox and Carrick's attacks have difficulty getting through the slugs tough skin. Philthy feels a sting as blue's tongue slams into him. Another gob of acid slams flies past Toral.

"Toral, I have never seen a slug sleep, but I am glad you endevered to try. That was fantastic!" "Now let's see what we can find in all this mess." "Maybe, a dead Jester and we can head back?"
Grunyak starts to look through the bodies. Then added, "Whenever you all are ready let's move off a little and I'll channel the might of Torag to heal our wounds, but I don't want to heal the slugs."
When ready... channel to heal party members:5d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 5, 3) = 15

Vermin are immune to mind affecting so I don’t know … ;)
I forgot it was a vermin. I was a bit exhausted this morning. I think it would have drop anyways this round.
Philthy chops the slug in two. As you catch your breathe an acid-scarred satchel can be seen among the bodies. Inside the satchel is a scorched journal and a golden necklace.
Examining the journal, Carrick learns it belong to the deceased Lady
Ariesin Bourtze. Within its pages it discusses her research into the urn. Her last entry gives the name of a salamader that she is going to summon using the urn.

"None of these bodies seem to match the jester's description. I am not sure how to continue from here. Does anyone see tracks or have an idea what to do to find him now?"
Grunyak rubs a guantleted hand over his bald head. He thumps his spear butt into the ground. "I am puzzled, why is this charred journal here? Was this taken with the urn by mistake? Not sure why the jester bothered only to leave it here? Can we use it to find him? I am open to suggestions."
Have we already rested? I don't remember. Maybe we look for a good place. If we have already, perhaps someone could find tracks to follow?

Following the trail it continues for a couple of miles when you spot on the muddy shores of the lake jut parapets of crumbling limestone, their stones missing and walls broken. A massive gateway yawns open, its original doors long since lost to decay, but its vacant expanse is blocked by an improvised barrier of lashed wooden stakes, ten feet high. Four archers guard the barrier.

Toral feels that this could be a confrontation.
He casts several spells!!
Heightened Awareness, Bless, Barkskin, False Life (temp hp) :1d10 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12, Magic Circle against Evil, Fly on Fox, Heroism (Ancestor mystery), Overland Flight.

Grunyak follows suit and cast some protection spells.
"Create a barrier of your might around me and keep me unfettered, oh mighty Torag"Casts magic circle of protection from evil and casts freedom of movement on himself.
Grunyak grips his spear tighter, "Let's proceed." He readies himself to follow with the group.

Grunyak noticing for the first time that his companions are looking to fly over to the archers, "Might I suggest air walking then?" "I can help one person to do so. Just let me know."

"Alright, if you are happy I am happy. Let's go then." Grunyak moves out moving from cover of tree to cover of tree and runs in a zigzag pattern towards the openning.
