That is a very good question. I would say, with the shortcut, a good hour on foot. So assuming you ran, I'd say about 5 miles.

Ok..sorry about the delay of the update. Had a few people make it to the camp, wanted to get them into the main story line first. So this evening, once everybody has accepted the job or not...I will make a major update.
Truesilver - The purest silver you can get that is not Mithril. With a skilled dwarven smith, and a decently powerful mage..truesilver can be forged into Mithril...about one hundred pounds of truesilver will make an ounce of Mithril. Compared to the normal silver found, which requires about a ton to make an ounce of Mithril..it is very valuable.
True silver reduces the interference of metal to magic, and is used (not in Mithril form) for Elven studs (for Elven Studded Leather), Elven Chain, and Elven Plate. Which is why Elven things are so expensive. Does not give additional armor class like Mithril does, but allows mages to use armors containing truesilver.
Mithril - Mithril ore can also be found, though it is very very rare. It's natural state is magical, but oddly enough when worn actually interferes with magic, giving the wearer additional saves vs magic.
Truesilver chain adds 6 armor to the base armor of anybody wearing it, exactly the same as normal chain. It can easily be enchanted, however, and a +5 Elven chain adds 11 to the base armor class. The cost for elven chain is about the same as normal full plate. The cost of magic elven chain..is a lot more. The cost of a single Elven plate could provide the amount of coin that it would take to supply armor for an entire squad of normal armor.
Mithril Chain with no extra bonuses add 7 to the base armor, and a +5 Mithril Chain adds 12. Mithril is THE metal (besides maybe something supplied by the gods) as this world has no drow and no adamatite. However, mages can not wear Mithril. A single Mithril chain is as expensive as a Elven Plate, and Mithril plate is so rare that even the richest kingdoms would go broke to purchase it. The process of making the Mithril Plate has been lost to the ages, and now the only hope to ever find one is to find some ancient dwarven stronghold that even the dwarves do not know about.

So, what are the Karag? Are they green humans? Lizardmen? Orc/ogre variant? Something else?

They look like humanoid alligators (or crocodiles). Normally they are green scaled and their eyes are normally either green, yellow, or brown. They are supposed to be extinct.
((Dang it I could have swore I put that in the OP..my mind is going))

Cheater zombies  . Ok now your characters have never ran into undead as of yet, so they are not aware of what exactly these things are. (Keep this in mind during the roleplay, don't metagame ). At least they are intelligent enough to put 2+2 together to equal fish. Knock em hard enough in the head, they stay down. For those who have yet to fight one, stumbling on the solution is fine, but it's going to take a little bit to add things up.
These are quick zombies though, which in the comic 'Goblins' are referred to as 'Cheater Zombies' *laughs*. Seriously, you should read the comic though. www.goblinscomic.com I believe...let me check.

According to Dorn Tumblestone there are some fields near the village and according to the begining of the IC there are 4 mountains.
So what does the camp look like as location?
I mean if I write down it gets me 3 seconds to hide by the nearest tree and it occurs that the nearest tree to the tent is 100 meters...

Ok I will try to paint you a picture of the mine (with words), as I stink at drawing.
The mine that the 'cheater zombies' are coming out of is in the southeast corner. The town is surrounded by mountains, but the mine is outside of town. Town would be to the north and very slightly west, and most of the mountains except the one to the south of the town are hours away on foot. The mountain south of town is where the mine is.
The mine camp is in a scraggly flat area (so no trees that close by, but plenty of other places to hide besides trees), made that way by the miners to have an area to hold the goods until they can be transported. In the camp that main tent (which is where miles is) is in the exact center of camp. Around it are many other smaller tents, a large storage tent, and a few other smaller storage tents.
The zombies are coming from the mine, so have yet to hit the center of the camp, and there are none yet in the northern parts of camp. People are running everywhere, panicked, and some (in the confusion) are running SOUTH right into the arms of the waiting Karag zombies.
Anyhow, the nearest uncleared patch of ground, for a tree, would be a good 500-600 feet at MINIMUM.
Right now, however, Miles has NO clue what is going on, and has no reason to hide...yet. ((He has not seen the Karag, or anybody being attacked since he is in the tent))
@geny - *laughs* Worse he will have a hard time figuring out they are undead until he starts noticing how some are wounded and not bleeding. Typically only vampires make more of them when they kill somebody. They are not acting as he has been told zombies act. (ie slow, and in the D&D world they are not infectious...normally). It won't take long for him to do the math, but right now..they are not acting like any type of undead his training would have informed him about.
I guess the others who expressed interest changed their minds, which is a pity...your group REALLY needs a cleric.

Well, seeing as you already told me that a broken neck does not kill these things, I think Jeddite might be able to put 1+1 together and realize that they might just not be living anymore...

*nods* He has seen the no blood/broken neck does not stop them..so yes he is one of the few right now that has a clue that something is not right here. The stench of the brain goo is another such clue.

So I suppose in this story silver does no harm to the undead?
Otherwise no reason for them to come from the mine and expose themselves in the mine to the danger of total self-distruction!
I guess this might be a part of the story as well...

Silver does no more or no less damage then whatever form it is in. Ie a silver sword can cut off their head, but a steel sword would do just as good. Certain undead are affected more by silver, but this is not one of them.

Do the miners have any equipment near the entrance of the cave to provide light,to be able to see each other?
...I hope the stench is not flamable...

So, my character is no longer a mute? Or did gnomes's character have something happen to him, that gave him similar issues?

No (on both accounts, I think), but both of us may have been caught outside of the cave, since Jeddite was trying to cover their escape path and not the escape itself.

Unless you are a 7' tall seming half-giant...wrong person Alkar . He's not mute, he is supposed to be deaf..so the way he talked was as if he had never heard the sounds before. Since he obviously heard his friends..something a bit .. funky is going on. Of course being trapped outside the cave..those who are will have no clue of this.
Those stuck outside the cave will miss a big reveal..but that is just the main quest. Don't worry, have plenty of things to do beside the main story line.

If I have to put it in other words,I will.
Miles have only one task and he doesn't fight the things,so he is in the cave.I think he could relax and see where is the manager.
But if he is in darkness,then he may just follow the human noise around him until he can see with his eyes at least the people around him.

There is enough light to see by. Which is interesting seeing as there should be no light at all.
