Bugbears

Bard says:

Few men have dared to venture near the bugbear caves
that twist and turn their way deep into the mountains
south of Seralon.  Once in my youth I went along with
a group of adventurers to seek for the legendary
Bloodsword, and our search took us near those caves.
I will not speak now of the horrors we saw, but I was
lucky to escape with my life, I assure you.  Unless you
are truly a mighty warrior I would advise you to stay
far far from there!

I have heard strange rumors lately that some mad mage
has been using the bugbears to further his own bizarre
plans, but I doubt there is any truth to them.
