You keep walking. Whatever is happening behind the tree-line is best left to itself. Soon the path crests the hill and begins to lead sharply downhill into a narrow valley in which a stream runs. There's no path along the bank but there is a line of rocks that might be able to act as stepping stones.
You test the first stone – it seems firm. You reach the other side unscathed, and continue walking. You walk for a few hours through light forest, dappled with sun, until you are climbing the side of a steep ridge.
The path climbs again up a low hill, covered over with thick bushes and shrubs that snag at your clothing. Halfway up, you hear a sound. Twigs, breaking. You freeze, as a large creature, the size of a bear, emerges directly in front of you. It has black and white fur, and a long bushy tail that trails out behind. It growls menacingly.
Do you:
Cast a spell!
