Dust mites and orange leaves dance in shafts of blue sunlight here within the grove. Two large holes in the side of the valley gape open. Inside is dusty rock and darkness.
A brown bear scared away the Dark Water xolome who used to live here. This resulted in a minor war between the Black Deer and Dark Water tribes. The bear will not attack unless someone comes near. First it will try to scare them off. If they move towards it, the bear will leap towards them and fight.
A deep guttural growl echoes around you in the cavern. As the echo dies you hear scraping on stone. A great growling mass leaps at you, claws extended and biting at you with yellowed teeth in a long snout.
