You’re adventuring through an enchanted world of beauty and wonder when, suddenly, your path is blocked by an encroaching beast. There is a look in its eyes that suggests some interest or intention with you, but it is unclear what.
Be it friend or foe, you cannot say. All you know is that to continue on your quest, you must get beyond it.

What do you do?
- Search your pack for an item that might win its favor, possibly even joining your party.
- Attempt to overpower (strength check), outsmart (intelligence check), or outrun (dexterity check) it.
- Go back from whence you came, and try the long way around through the Dark Forest.
- Other (put it in the comments)
