Po-ko's twin lambs stolen, LB finds gold in payment tied to the ewe. LB reads the tracks. They lead to a masked hermit's ranch in a hidden valley within the wasteland. He holds them; they escape. Grizzly! LB's arrows fly, the man empties his bullets into the bear who swipes a paw at him: they both go down. LB approaches. The hermit's face is disfigured from a prior bear attack (why he didn't go to town to sell his gold, to buy livestock). LB leaves a pictogram in bear blood showing his hand over his mouth: LB's promise they'll keep respectful silence of the hermit's existence.
