You leave the Keep and quickly turn north in the woods leaving the main road behind. You quickly find a small trail leading deeper into the forest and start your way along it, with Wergrim in front using his spear as a walking stick. The vegetation is a mostly composed of broad-leaved tree with a thick undergrowth. You can hear the songs of birds amongst the trees around you and you catch a glimpse of an animal or two quickly scurrying away as they see you.
After fifteen minutes, the small path disappears as it seems that few people dare to go further into the woods. You press forward, relying on your natural sense of orientation and hoping not to get lost. After two hours of hard trekking (at around 10:30) you stop when you hear the cracking of a wooden branch maybe a hundred meter in front of you. You can't see what caused it as your path his blocked by dense shrubberies.
What do you do?

Here we go again...
He takes his bow and readies an arrow in the direction of the noise.

I slowly drop one knee to the ground and I start looking all around us in case there is something to the side or even behind us.

I ready my sword and start slowly moving forward.
Show yourself or prepare to for the wrath of Typhon... I say looking at Arom with a big smile and a wink.

After Coylian shouts is warning you hear a startled cry and the sound of someone falling down. Wergrim and Coylian rush through the shrubberies to discover a surprised old man lying on the ground with what look likes a dog or a wolf growling at you nearby.
The old man quickly takes hold of his walking stick and without taking the time to stand up, points it at you defensively. "Who are you? Are you friend or foe?"

Whoa whoa old man we won't hurt you. Sheeting my sword, I slowly walk toward him with my hands in the air. Call off your dog, I'll help you get up

The old man takes your hand and you help him stand up. He says to his dog "Stand down boy, I don't think they mean us harm." He dusts off his skin an fur robe and looking at the now assembled group he says "What are you city folks doing in these parts? If it's the Caves you're looking for you're way off to the west."

We didn't mean to startle you. We heard some noise and we had to make sure it wasn't a creature out to kill us. We are looking for a powerful druid to help us remove a curse that was placed on a fountain to the south. The curse is slowly corrupting the land. Do you know where we can find the druid we are looking for? We need him, and the animals need him.
