Onwards!

The sound of the river eventually fades as the path turns away from it. The trees around you become darker and taller, blocking out most light. It feels like twilight, despite the fact that it’s still noon.

In the distance, you hear a loud roar, and the ground shakes as you walk closer to the source of the sound. You find yourself in a clearing, as a pack of wolves surround a large, humanoid beast. A minotaur. As you watch, the minotaur knocks away a wolf, before picking up one and catapulting it at another. The wolves whine and retreat into the underbrush, ignoring you completely.

Even though the wolves are gone, the minotaur is still thrashing about, smashing trees and hammering the ground with his fists. You’ve heard stories of people calming down beasts with music, but that’s just a rumour. Magic could work, if you know how to cast a calming spell.
