"Open fields or forest. If we stay here it will indeed become a long ride… Lets leave and see what hazards Fharlanghn has for us. Now fellow comrades, Ilan will be tracking anyway so slowing down is inevitable. So leave your horses here or in town, but please make some hast. Heironeous is expecting a bit more from us than only small talk."

Looking bemusedly at Tristan, Deepwinter 7 addresses him and says "What you do or want with that sword could indeed be very important to you, but that doesn't mean that you should be walking around as a constant reminder to things lost and things wanted. We all await better times and better fortune, but it's only the fool that forgets that he lives in the present"
Turning his head over to (once-again) talk to Roland. "There is a bit of a flaw in your reasoning, Sir Knight. Indeed it makes common sense to uphold the law and in case of a violation, bring Men to justice. But your law should be applied to Men and Mankind only. Your cells are not made for Creatures and Monsters, and that is what we are dealing with. This time you could still explain it to us as a borderline situation, but next time when we are fighting with a demon from the Nine Hells what would you do? Let us try to capture one first, killing others if necessary. If your law is so important to you, than reason with them first. Your evidence is based on some horse-shaped tracks and the account of a single old man. The minotaurs could come up with a likewise story"
"If you all agree with this plan, work out the details. I'm going to get some ingredients for supper"

Roland starts laughing: "I think I am the LAST one to read a demon his rights..." while grinning he continues "Surely you understand that upholding the law only counts when dealing with humanoids. But it is my believe that these Minotaurs will never learn unless we bring them to court and show them that what they did will no go unpunished. Furthermore I just think it is a matter of speech... You say capture, I say arrest... If you know what I mean."
Roland voice takes a decisive tone: "Now let us stall no longer. As my Tristan has already mentioned, time is of the essence. Ow and about the credibility of the priest... He IS a man of the Cloth. Be more careful when you go around accusing people."

"I will tell you my story a bit later, Roland, when we have the time.
I halt my horse untill I'm next to Tristan. i smlie at him while I remark:"You can better worry about the others, I won't slow you down while I track."
"Oh and Patrick I have tracked them for a couple of miles and we can best go by horse.
"Allright team, we leave the horses about half a mile from their camp and go further by foot, when we get seperated or need to make a fast escape we fall back to that spot"
"Roland, what do you think? I think it is best that when we lose the horses you and the rest wait while Patrick and I invetigate the Minotaur encampment. If you want to join Tristan you are welcome to but you best guard the horses." You would never have quessed that an Elf could have laughed so hard.

To Ilan:
Sir Ilan, I think your plan is fine. Let me grant you the powers to FLY for a maximum duration of 90 minutes at large speed ([OOC: 90]), so that you can investigate the minotaur terrain more effectively and with greater speed. The advantage will be that we will probably have detailed information on the minotaurs locations and that we can verify the numbers of the alledged females and observe possible entrances to the cave.
To Deepwinter:
I saw that you have powers to make man invisible... can you do that again let Ilan fly-by unnoticed?

In an amused voice: "I do not think that my Simba needs any 'guarding'. Rest assured, he can take care of himself and the other horses. Roland continues in an annoyed voice: "It still does not seem logical to me to waste time by all this investigating. Why don't we just march in and resolve the whole issue? Anyway, I can see the benefit for a covert operation in certain cases, although I hardly think this is such case, but " Roland turns to Diactum and adds in an amused voice "letting people fly over seems hardly covert to me...
Half turning to Deepwinter 7: "Let's see where this undercover approach will lead to.
