The minotaur was a player character, actually, and died in combat against a= fire elemental in the bowl of an active volcano, where Blackbeak's pirate= band had hidden some treasure several years before. Best quote of the= night (remember, we'd been sailing around the seas for quite awhile by= now): "(munch munch munch)... hey, where'd we get the beef?"
