You liked taking short walks through the forest near your house. Occasionally you saw some scratch marks in the trees, almost looking like warnings to stay away,

One day, you saw large footprints with those scratch marks nearby. You heard some rustling noises, so you followed the footprints. When you reached the end, you saw... a lizard-person? He must've noticed you, because he startled, pulling out an arrow and fitting it to his bow. His expression was scared, like you had the weapon instead.
