The Wounded Falcon

Your patience is finally rewarded as you arrive at a junction. The path continues to the north but branches away to the east as well. To the west, you also briefly notice the entrance to a large cave.

You are not concerned with the cave because now you are sure it won't be too long before you are out of the forest. This soon changes, though, when you hear a low rumble coming from the cave, followed by a huge growl.

You stop in your tracks and fearfully look towards the location of the noise. Out of the cave emerges a BLACK BEAR! It is quite angry that you have trespassed and it lumbers in your direction with terrifying speed. You turn and flee down the east trail as fast as you can.
