Willy and the Blink Dog continue sniping at each other.
Now you turn back where you came from. The pathway writhes lke a serpent across the soggy ground, weaving aroudn thickets and moss-covered trees. After a time it turns into a small clearing shaded by an enormous weeping willow. Across the clearing, standing atop a large rock, is a beast-man of some sort. He wears forester's garb, but his head is that of a boar. The boar's face is coated with dried blood and droops severely, especially over the intense blue eyes, where thick folds are bunched. Willy starts barking furiously and wagging his tail.
As the figure sees you, he jumps up and down atop the rock and waves a spear in your direction. His body shakes so he flails his limbs about.
Suddenly, his spasmodic display ends and he stands erect atop the rock. Stabbing the spear at you, he calls out in a deep hollow voice. "Invaders! You trod upon the sacred sanctuary of the goddess Ehlonna and risk her divine wrath! Begone from this valley and leave its beauty undefiled or I, the King of the Boars, will strike you down in fair Ehlonna's name!"
