Rebel: During your youth you ran away from your home for a time. (Work with your DM to determine what happened in your time away) Did you return or have you travelled the lands since leaving as a child?
While foraging or hunting for food, you have an encounter with a trapped predatory beast. Instead of slaying it, you free it. The freed beast disappears. Later, you are trapped by a falling log. The same beast reappears, aiding and freeing you.
