It was my first day in this new and distant land.
Several other passengers on the ship and I were greeted by veteran adventurers when we first arrived in Dawnport.
They were discussing investigating a treehouse located somewhere in the forest, on top of a tall tree. I didn't want to miss my chance to see the greenery and the forest in this land, so I tagged along with the rest of the adventurers.
What I found did not disappoint. The tree and treehouse were both majestic and beautiful. The others seemed very interested in making the acquaintance of the person living inside the treehouse.
Suddenly, a giant Treant dropped from the tree. We were all pretty shocked. The Treant then announced himself as Brynn, the guardian of the treehouse, and stated he would only let us pass if we managed to answer his questions correctly.
I then proceeded to introduce myself to the Treant as a fellow guardian of the forest and revealed our intention to meet with the one who resides in the treehouse.
An elderly lady, Nana D'nur, came out of the treehouse and asked us why we wanted to meet her.
Then suddenly, out of nowhere, an Owlbear came out of the forest and attacked Brynn, causing him to lose his footing. The rest of the party intervened, and we managed to slaughter the beast.
I do feel a bit sad that we had to kill it, but we had to defend ourselves, the Treant, and Nana.
I find it weird that an Owlbear would just suddenly come out and attack us, unprovoked, in the middle of the day. Something might have spooked it, causing it to behave this way. I tried to search for anything that might have caused this, but found nothing abnormal.
