Ooc: That's fine.
"This might be harder than simple persuading," Sumian says as she takes note of the glare from locals.

As the party makes their way out of the bustling metropolis, past a huge circular arena that could only be the Circus, the stone road turns into a dirt path and the tall buildings are replaced by thick grasses and stout flat-leafed trees. The air is very warm, but the thick limbs overhanging the path provide some measure of shade. They pass several small farms with fields of thick hemp and then they see, lying in the road directly ahead, a still figure.
As they walk closer, they can make out the figure of a female minotaur dressed in leather skirt and vest. The figure is not moving.

Everyone stay ready, it could be a trap... Sha'al says, keeping his shield handy as they draw closer

Kaelestia nods at Sha'al, but still approaches the woman: "Madam..? Are you in need of help?" - she says, as she kneels beside the minotaur to check her vitals.

Sumina places her hand on the hilt of her sword, seemingly ready for the woman to jump up and attack.

As the party approaches the prone woman, four male minotaurs emerge from the tall grass (two on either side of the road), armed with swords. "What are those inferiors doing to that woman?!" one demands.
"Disgusting freaks! Who do you think you are?!" demands another.
"What can one expect, from such honorless dogs as these?" questions a third.

Sha'al rolls his eyes, of course it was a trap. Obviously we just arrived. We have no idea what happened to her. We are on errand for your lord and were travelling this way.

"We were only offering her aid. You can check on her too, if you desire." - she says.

"This is most likely a trap," Sumina says softly to her group. It seemed awfully convenient for these minotaurs to show up right when they were checking on the woman.

"Sounds like elven lies to me," says the first one.
"Indeed, as if our glorious lord would ever associate with such inferior, weak creatures such as yourselves," adds the second.

Parra had enough. Parra stomp. "Move away, pieces of barnacles!" She look at them with narrowed eyes.
"I for one dont care for stupid people who trip over themselves- but my allies care. But I care for them- back off them, or I - the Lightningborn witch will cast a curse upon your #^&@ heads!"

Kaelestia whispers: "Remember we are not to harm any minotaur on this island. This may be a trial from Lord Rethoth to test our word."

If you don't believe us, ask your glorious lord himself. Sha'al says, nonchalantly. (Do we have anything official or written to show?)
He glances at Granker I have heard the minotaur of these lands are honorable and seek glory. What honor is there in lying hidden in the grass to accost travelers? What glory in confronting 'weaklings' as you called us?
Quietly asside to his allies he says, we were told not to kill any Minotaur, but if it comes down to it we can still subdue them.
