You briefly attempt to charm the creature with a silly dance. Then offer it coins, then the wooden club as it ignores you and pulls the axe out of the ground. Sensing this would be a good time to abscond, you haul ass out of there with the creature in close pursuit.
You can dimly make out some sort of path to your left in the distance with a signpost. To your right, you can see the entrance to a cave. What would you have our hero do next?
Stay Cozy!
