It budges a little, and he uses that opportunity to push suddenly with all of his force. It snaps open with a shuddering JANG. The bear lets out a loud growl. A gutteral noise from deep in its gut, as if it is stifling a roar.It pulls its damaged leg close to its body, and lies there, as if trying to settle itself after the pain.After a few seconds, it turns it face towards Jokad and nudges him gently in the back with his nose. The shoanti, still bent over the trap, trying to disable it safely by respringing it, feels the bear's nudge and turns nervously. The animal seems to point its snout towards the forest to the north urgently, its eyes wide. Jokad turns his head, but sees nothing.-----Back on the road, the party hear the snap of the trap as Jokad re-springs it. They have no idea what is going on, but turn to one another quizically. Kael looks distracted. As Danth goes to speak, the sorcerer holds up a hand in silence."Hear that?" he whispers."Dogs. I can head dogs barking. Not far to the north. They have caught the scent of something!"-----Back in the forest, Jokad at last catches on the wind the distant noise of dogs, barking, approaching.The bear beside him tries to stand, stumbles as the pain hits him, and lies again, moaning as if frustrated at its weakness.Something is coming.</blockquote>
