I've noticed these Inquisitors are spawning like mushrooms after the rain.
At this rate, the entire Regnleif region, along with its Valkyries, will soon move into our forest.

I'm the only one who thinks that since we're outside the mines, we have a clear advantage, and it's strange not to use it? Unless they have another exit.

Should we add some fire runes there?

/ No. I mean, you can conduct "aggressive negotiations" at the entrance, if necessary, threatening to collapse it. And then it won't matter how many of them are there or what traps they have.
Another option is to report everything right now and bring the guard to document it.
Or, we can just lie in wait at the entrance and attack from stealth when we have a numerical or formation advantage. While they come out of the tunnel one by one, we can take them down easily./
/ That's right, of course, if there isn't a backup exit. We can try to look for one./

- I doubt he's planning anything illegal. Perhaps he went there looking for adventure. Although, with those foolish nobles, anything is possible... If he does get up to something, we won't even be able to stop him, essentially... He's a wealthy young man... - Veserod sighs. - Renold, what can you tell me about him as a person?

I think they spotted us, which is why they hid in the mine. If there are Inquisitors there, they definitely won't show themselves, especially considering they can smell Anders from a mile away. And "aggressive negotiations" with the count's son is, of course, a brilliant idea, especially when he hasn't attacked us yet, and we only "caught a glimpse" of him entering the mine. If we leave, what then? He'll disappear. And it will be his word against ours. At best, we can send Anders as a messenger. And that's without even considering the question you raised earlier – the existence of a second exit.

- So that's how it is... And?
- Well, uh... he's probably plotting something... and besides, my cat has a bad feeling...

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.

aggressive negotiations
we'll take care of them easily.
Actually, reporting after the patrol would have been a good option, if not for the fact that he saw us, and in a day there will be no one left in the mines.

There is no definitive confirmation that he saw us. I think the literary description implied that the keenest eyes saw his silhouette, the last one climbing into the shaft.
Regarding the write-up for the Fortress, I agree with one caveat: there is a positive scenario for going there, which could involve a friendly character going in to eliminate monsters or fragments of the Inquisitors (since the cat explicitly forbade Anders from going), and we could potentially join in and anime-ishly arrive to help at the last moment if he starts to be overwhelmed. But we still don't have any light sources, and Gule cannot go, and overall, it's 50/50 – it might turn out that way, or it might turn out to be the worst-case scenario where we are set up/killed/blackmailed, and the intuition about the Inquisitor might have been triggered not by the monsters, but by someone from the character's retinue, or by the character himself.

Victory will be hard-won, if possible at all, as the enemies will have the advantage and be able to kill us one by one.

2) We strike preemptively and cast a fire rune. This is the worst option, because it could lead to scenario B, and even in scenario A, most of the evidence of the son's criminal activity will likely be destroyed.

Because a group of soldiers is marching through the forest, not even trying to hide.
I would, of course, scout this out; something definitely fishy is going on. But there's no profit here, except for moral satisfaction, and the risk might be significant.

Okay, for now, I agree with the arguments that it's better to leave.
However, I would still include it in the report. Just not under the guise of "something is being plotted," but simply that they met and that's it. If the Countess has reasons to doubt Tyros, she will draw her own conclusions, and if not, then there's nothing more to be done.
But I might be wrong, of course.
