As Lorenz creeps through the forest he overhears a conversation "Can't we go back to camp? The bear's clearly gone...", "Shut the hell up, do you want it to return later and eat you as you rest? I don't!" Obstructed by some bushes Ingvar notices two bandits walking far ahead of him - following the same tracks he is. They seem to be decently equipped, simple gambesons with light mail over-top and open faced conical skull caps. They carry medium sized round shields and short spears with short swords sheathed at their sides. They have not spotted Lorenz yet.

Ingvar sees no need to intervene. If the bandits fight the bear and live, then he can easily sweep the survivors aside. Instead, he slowly follows behind them and keeps a decent distance so that his armour doesn't give him away. He keeps to the bushes, looking down to make sure he doesn't step on any branches that could alert them.

He manages to succeed in staying far enough away to avoid being detected - though he's far too distant to hear anything they may be saying, and can barely keep up with them. Soon however, after what feels like hours of trailing them they come upon what looks to be a large cave made of rock in the side of a cliff-face. The two bandits enter the cave, and even after an hour of waiting they do not return...

The hour passes and Ingvar sighs. Slowly, he starts to make his way into the cave with his sword drawn and at the ready. He's got a bad feeling that this bear might be more than just a simple bear. He can only hope it's been weakened by the bandits.
