The dog doesn't hear you.
As soon as you get out of the range of his scent you should be fine.
Cutting to the chase: You should be able to move yourself around taking careful movement, spotting for dogs, etc.
Normal movement is going to get you blundering in every obstacle possible though.
After about an hour and a half, you come across some tracks of a small group of very heavy horses, moving away from the village in the other direction you came from, through what seems to be a patch of unused soil. The track is a few days old and difficult to follow.
You can either try and follow it, or circle around the village some more in the hope you find other tracks.
[OOC do you want me to display the rolls or do you like it better if I hide them? Anyway, am going away fro a few hours now, will be back around midnight your time.]

You lose the track almost immediatly... it is quite old afterall. You resume your search and find some tracks of hooved bipedal creatures moving towards the town. Obviously quite a bit fresher than the tracks from the heavy horses, but still more than 24 hours old. There is also another kind of tracks among them, which you can not place at all. The tracks are moving in the general direction of town, and you can follow them quite easily. You also find some blood on the floor close to the (minotaur?) tracks in one of the fields where sheeps are now no longer grazing, but you can see that several bites of grass were taken out, most definitely by sheep, at about the same time the blood hit the ground. Actually, a bit before, because the sheep were running away from the minotaurs.[OOC: that was a 20 
] You can follow the tracks further but you would have to enter the town proper. It doesn't look like the heavy bipedal creatures actually did any damage to any buildings, and there's hardly any blood either.

If the other "footprints" take another route, I follow those tracks. If that leads to nothing I go back to the minotaur tracks and follow them further carefull though.

What you know about minotaurs is that they are not Giants. You know not a whole lot about their society, that's more for scholars and sages to know, people who read history books.
You track the minotaurs away from the village. You are now a mile away from the village and you have lost sight of it some time ago. You are now travelling through a lightly forested area, and you find wildlife tracks between the Minotaur tracks, if that's really what they are. The hills are getting slightly higher. Do you continue?
[OOC: next time, post a maximum distance you will track and state what you will do when that is reached.]

[Since I am assuming Deepwinter triple extended your Invisibility since he said he could make you invisible all day, you are still invisible, and will be for quite some time.]
You continue for another half a mile. You can barely follow their tracks on the firm soil, but you are managing.
