Brown Svarpian
Pushing on, the plateau finally gives way to a steep fall. You don't fancy the dangerous climb down and notice that the slight slope you're on, curves to your left. Keeping your eyes on your feet as you try not to slip or fall, you almost don't notice that one of the branches overhead seems oddly mobile. But as you grasp it, trying to keep steady, you very much feel that it is alive. You've just gotten hold of a brown svarpian!

Hurry! Feed it!

Turn left, following the slope down
Or decide you've had enough and return to the Hollow Tree.
