Kaelestia sighs, as she sits down on one of the logs around the table: "Probably to wait until this 'task' is explained to us." - she says melancholily. While she waits, the Irda starts playing around with the stones on the table, trying to figure out if they could be used for something.

No answer comes for Sumina. The guards outside stand stoically, ignoring her.
Kaelestia inspects the stones on the table, trying to figure out what purpose they hold.
(OOC: Let's have an INT check.)

It's just a straight d20, right?

Kaelestia determines the stones are some kind of three dimensional puzzle. She's heard stories that minotaurs often enjoy such puzzles.

Kaelestia tries to complete the puzzle to pass time.

While Sumina isn't getting any answers, she decides to see if the place has any food.

Arthogate thinks about his dog wondering where he is.

Looking around, Sumina does find what appears to be a feeding trough--like those used with horses. It is currently empty, however.

Sumina lets out a laugh when she finds the feeding the trough. "We're apparently little more than pigs here," she says to the others. Oh, how she wanted to kill these people.

The party sits and waits. Kaelestia slowly puts the puzzle together, realizing it's a three dimensional warship. Arthogate meditates quietly. The others do what they can to pass the time.
When the sun finally goes down, the cave door slams open and two minotaurs carrying large axes and wearing military uniforms stomp in. A third, larger minotaur lingers outside, hidden in the shadows. "Check them out!" barks the large minotaur. "Time's wasting!"
The two minotaurs systematically approach each party member and do the same thing that was done when their ship was first boarded--wave their finger in front of them, asking if they can see it. They ignore any questions the party might ask. Once this test has been administered to each of them, the two minotaur turn to the third one in the shadows and nod to him. Several silent seconds pass and the third minotaur does not react at all. The two guards look to each other, then one of them seems to remember something and says out loud, "Uh...they're fine, sire."
"Leave them!" bellows the third minotaur, then turns away. The two guards exit the cave, slamming the door behind them.

Once they're gone, Kaelestia sits once again: "Their behaviour is definitely odd. I wonder why they keep checking our eyes."

"I don't know, but I'm getting really tired of them checking our eyes," Sumina says. "Our eyesight isn't going to change unless they did something to us."

"Yes, that is what worries me. Why bother checking us twice? Were they expecting something to change?" - she turns to Granker to ask: "Do you have a hypothesis about what their actions may mean?"

Arthogate "I would suggest next time one of us pretend to be blind but I am not sure what they would do to us or if we would really want to find out." the dwarf chimes in.

*Granker snorts*
"The blind one would be murdered then the rest of us would still be here. they are morons thats why they checked us twice."
