The ploy was successful. Minotaurs are good at an open field and direct clashes, but they are not good at hunting hidden prey. They can kill a wild boar running at them. But they are not good at tracking a rabbit hidden in its hole.
Finding Sam and his two teammates turned out to be the latter case.
They would have to nail down the whole forest in the surroundings.
But if they did that, the Dwarves will crush them.
Anyway, now the battlefield changed completely there is only a few tens of meters of distance between two troops and the Dwarves have a way to retreat and Minotaurs have no choice of retreat.
They can only clash ignoring and Sam and his group for now.
They also realized that except for the weird behavior of the Minotaurs the water and lightning attacks are not really attacking them severely with any considerable damage.
But their concession caused them to pay a price.
