While traipsing between the trees, a man suddenly emerges from one of the bushes. Twigs and brush are all twisted up in his sweat swept hair. He rears up at the sight of you.
{{EventSpeech|Please, no more.}}
You raise your hand to calm him then ask what is going on. The stranger takes a step back.
{{EventSpeech|Please, no more!}}
He turns and runs off, thrashing his way back from whence he came. {{EventVariable|Randombrother}} hurries to your side.
{{EventSpeech|Should we follow him?}}

You follow the man into the thicket. His muddy footsteps aren't hard to track, his ungraceful retreat leaving much evidence. But suddenly, they disappear. The man exited into a clearing and then his tracks are gone. You hear a whistle above you. Looking up, you see the man sitting on a branch. He waves.
{{EventSpeech|Howdy, strangers.}}
He glances across the clearing. Men are approaching and they are well armed. The man in the tree snorts.
{{EventSpeech|Goodbye, strangers.}}

The man's tracks lead away in the hurry that so frightfully forced him out of your sight. A scared man such as he is not hard to find, unfortunately he's not scared anymore, because all you find of him is thoroughly eviscerated corpse.
A slight growl vibrates the nearby bushes. You look over to see slick, black fur slowly stepping out from behind a tree. You yell to the men to arm themselves.

The frightened man was not hard to find. You spot him curled up at the base of a tree. He's clutching something to his chest as though he were seeking warmth from it on a cold night. The man himself, however, is dead. You pry the item from his glomming grasp.
