Exploration to the Northwest

Large bearded faces (maybe dwarves) for this mountain archway. we entered the cave and found ruins and were attacked by the bird people. I killed one and the other two fled. met a great blue heron person with a book. big blue heron keeps saying nahkah. big cat face equals danger. We moved to the northwest and found a cave with strange bearded statues and then bird people found us. I killed one then they retreated. the blue heron told us about a big cat and warned us to not travel further to the west because the bird people are there. we camped for the night and returned.
