In most games my explorers visit beast valley only once or twice.
First time they meet some beat tribe and are usually warned away, with
varying degrees of vehemance. The second time everyone but the leader
gets captured by minotaurs, and pretty much any effort to recover them
is doomed (although sending someone to ransom them is a good way to get
rid of a leader you don't like, and I only tried sending my trickster
to outdrink them once....he never came home, and I don't like losing
tricksters, but maybe that one will work occasionally). The leader is
warned away from the valley with any intruders to be dealt with
severely.
My question is, has anyone perservered and found a safe way to explore
the valley? (yes, this is a request for spoiler information). Pretty
much every other part of the map I've been able to explore properly,
aside of course from the troll lands. I have found that I get better
results sending explorers with good bargaining to Tarsh, and ones with
good animals into Grazer lands, so it wouldn't surprise me if there is
a way, somehow, to deal with beast valley. I had thought maybe if
you'd done the Uralda quest to influence bulls and bull headed people
you'd be able to get along with the minotaurs, but it seems not.
