Standing on your toes to match the height of the beast, you stare it down. Or at least you try, right before it brings forth a mighty paw and slams that paw right into
the side of your face. You fall to the ground and hit hard. Looking up, you decide the beast is some sort of bear, though it has some features that resemble a man.
The beast raises it's paw again to hit you, and you scream in pure terror. Fortunately for you, this seems to throw the beast off, for it grunts and walks off. That was
close. You place your hand on the side of your face and your hand comes back bloody. Your wound doesn't seem to severe, but you could choose to have it
looked at. Scanning the forest, you see a small cottage. What luck! It has a sign that reads, "Madam Lutulla's Healing Shoppe." But then, you are a manly man,
right? Why let a wound stop you? You could continue on the trail.
