I don't see any point in going to the mine. Basically, there are two scenarios:
A) The count's adopted son is doing something bad there.
B) The count's adopted son is not doing anything bad.
Now I will try to consider all the options facing us and the possible consequences, as I see them:
1) We go to the mine. Possible consequences: we get killed, or we don't get killed because the count's son wasn't doing anything wrong. In that case, all we'll achieve is the son saying to us, "Are you guys crazy? What are you doing here?". Victory will be difficult, if possible at all, since the enemies will have an advantage where they can kill us one by one. This is not to mention that we will have to find sources of light, and after killing the son, prove that he was really doing something bad. It is also possible that the count's son is getting high with the inquisitors there, and seeing us, he will say, "Everything is okay, guys, I'm sure you won't tell anyone about this
". However, even in that case, in order to pass on the information to the count and countess, we will need some evidence, otherwise we ourselves will be thrown in jail.
2) We strike preemptively and cast a fire rune. This is the worst option because it could be scenario B, and even in scenario A, most of the evidence of the son's criminal activity will likely be burned.
3) We just leave. And here I don't see any way that something could go wrong. Ples and Revan specifically clarified that checking the mine is not part of our duties - no one will come after us for skipping it. Will the son steal the Grail or something else from the heart of the forest? Well, that's the security's fault, but not ours, because we patrolled the forest area properly, as indicated in the contract. What else could happen? Will the count be killed? Well, we might still get paid a formal fee for the patrol and be let go. Will we be called to defend the heart of the forest, and the battle there will be more difficult? It's already going to be difficult, and it's not certain that a more difficult battle can be made than where we move in a line through a narrow tunnel. I initially suggested reporting what we saw, but now even that seems unnecessary - we might even be thrown in jail for slandering a respectable person. Moreover, this was only seen by the most observant, that is, not even all members of the squad.
