OOC/ After the party had finished thier three day squabble, they looked up and noticed that they were surrounded by one hunderd minotaurs....the ranger minotaur had sneaked up on them and the fighter minotaurs had waited until he had returned with information...../OOC
Wulf speaking:
I shall wait with Mr. Goldsteel, whose authority I do not question. I apologise for my rudeness Sir, please forgive. I am but a young wanderer, not used to the live I life now...

EXACT INFO: READ THE BLOODY FIRST POST AGAIN: DO NOT POST CONAN ATTACKS, POST...
I am now making three dozen assumptions. These are now no longer discussable. They happen. Thie is how it is. If you want to play your own character post what he does and what he will do if that doesn't work, and what he will follow with if that does work, and how he does it.
Patrick: "Flying invisible is an uninformed idea. Unless you can somehow see through trees, you'll probably see nothing but leaves and birdnests. It might have worked in the autumn, but now the tress block nearly all light to the forest anyway - which is exaclty why I haven't got a tan and all the farmers around here have."
For now, I'll assume Ilan and Patrick will be scouting ahead about 120 feet away from Tristan. Roland, Deepwinter and Biactum will stay at the Ranger's cabin and have lunch.
Ilan: After about 2 hours you notice that you are a lot farther on the trail than you were after the same time - the Ranger seems to be reasonably skilled at least. Then however, you spot some minotaurs walking towards you, walking at a slow pace, looking around. They have obviously not seen you. Patrick seems to haven't noticed them yet either. They are very big (about 9 ft. tall) and armored in Studded leather armour. They carry axes which have a longer shaft longer in length thatn any of you are tall. They are at a distance of 160 feet. There are quite a lot of trees and shrubberies around and they block and conceal the minotaurs considerably. They probably wouldn't be able to get very close to you in 6 seconds, but there might be a few ways they could approach to about 40-80 feet, depending on their speed. The minotaurs aren't exactly grouped - they are about 15 feet away from eachother.
[This is the surprise round - you have a lot of options here, you might want to consider each of them carefully - next update will be tomorrow evening]

If Tristan sees the minotaurs [Spot +13], he will suggest to leave. Otherwise…. Initiative mtfckr! (I’ll be surprised than and wait/hope Ilan will inform me)

After an half hour has passed, Roland (and the rest?) will follow Patrick, Ilan and Tristan on a walking speed, assuming they leave some sort of mark behind so we can follow them (clear footprints will do). Roland is confident that Tristan is doing his job well so he will walk normally (i.e. will not look around like some paranoid idiot) and will start a conversation with Deepwinter 7. As he is completely oblivious to fear, he will do so in his normal voice.
"So tell me Deepwinter 7, you said something about the power to make us immune to weapons... How long will the effect stay? What other skills do you possess? You have made me quite curious."
If Roland hears that his fellow companions are in need of aid, he will not hesitate to storm after them, leaving the rest behind if they choose not to accompany him. (hmmm he's in full plate and they're half an hour away... oh well) If he does not hear anything he will go on with his conversation with Deepwinter 7.

No. You will not follow them now you do what? Smell XP and action? It goes directly against what was told... (Besides, I want no one to worry about Xp... trust me on this one, roleplaying will be taken into account)
Besides, not having heavy artillery backup will make Ilan's choice a lot more interesting
