The massive minotaur clash, a result of a little reconnaisance that
went wrong, ended with the party escaping out of rockfilled tunnel.

The fight, which raged for two sessions, depleted just about every
spell the party had, most of its hit points and killed 28 minotaurs.

Having a defensible position was key and not being surrounded by the
minotaurs aided greatly in the parties fighting ability. The Minotaurs
used their size and toughness to perform the overrun action, with some
success, getting in amongst the party to cause havoc. Oren was knocked
prone and nearly ended being trampled and beaten to death.

The arrival of a magic using minotaur hastened the decision to leave,
Ran summoned a burrowing creature and used a stone shape spell to
create a tunnel. Though this took some time.

The vanguard fighting retreat was done by Bingley and Rosia, who's
ring prevented her from running out first.

The evacuation was held up crucially by Oren who became wedged in the
narrow tunnel, but eventually got free.

Blood soaked and hurt the party escape with the howls of raging
minotaurs in the background, it seems now is a good time for the
Broken Axe to attack whilst the Red Horn are reeling from this huge
loss
