Let me know if you witsh to engage with the bear otherwise read the spoiler:
9 hours after the encounter with the ghost - around 8 pm - Dwalt taking the lead of the group, followed his guts and decided to wait where they were, hiding patiently. just a couple of hours before they would set camp to rest for one more night on the hunt the sight of a mighty white moose appeared near them. Though it was dark, Dwalt was sure of the moose's special fur.
It didn't seem like the moose was doing anything in particular, but it was alone. After a couple of minutes the moose walked back from where it came. Following the trail with Razul making sure that the moose was still within its eyesight. The Moose inadvertedly took you to a special place...
You see a circular indentation in a snowy hillside. Rising from the middle of this circle is a triangular gnomon of beautifully carved crystal that stands twenty feet tall. A ten-foot-high berm hugging the circle’s eastern edge has evergreens growing around and atop it, sheltering what looks like a sarcophagus buried under snow and enclosed by a half-circle of pale blue crystal pillars. North of the berm is a delicately carved gazebo made of marble, and south of the berm is a row of outward-facing, white marble statues atop granite pillars.

Dwalt nods. "Best ta avoid tha bear." he agrees.
When he first sees the moose he nods. "There ya are!" he exclaims quietly.
Following the moose, Dwalt says little, his focus on the hunt. However, when the structure comes into view he halts his mount, climbs off and moves forward slowly to observe. Dwalt lays on the ground to keep a low profile.
Ghathi just nods, clearly agreeing about avoiding the bear. When they arrive at the place that following the moose has led them, Ghathi isn't sure what to look at first. Seeing as the moose was their original focus, he keeps his eyes on the beast, trying to determine what it is up to. (Insight: 18, to try to tell if the moose seems to have seen them, what it might be up to now)

As the team nears the temple/tomb-like structures, Sarya dismounts Snowstrider and moves closer through the snow but trying to remain unseen by the white moose. "What could this place be? Could it be the home of this beast?" The half-elven redhead whispers to the others.

Tysris readies a javelin and follows after the others. He feels like he’s walking into strange territory when he sees the place. It looks like some sort of sundial? Moondial? He stays quiet and readies himself, he has a feeling of foreboding and danger.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
The moose doesn't seem to have noticed you and as it enters to this area its stands in the moon dial, and sniff the air for a few minutes.
Outside you can see six elevated, white marble statues arranged in a line depict slender, robed figures facing northward. The engraving on their faces has been worn away by the wind, but pointed ears make the statues identifiable as elves.

After recognizing the statues as elves you can take a careful look at the whole place and assume that this could be a tomb made by Moon elves
More information Sarya might know about the elves: They are also known as Teu-tel-quessir in the elven language or as silver elves, were the most common of all the elven subraces. More tolerant of humans than other elves, moon elves were the ancestors of most half-elves. They were considered high elves sometimes also called eladrin.
"I think this might be a Moon Elf tomb, but I have no idea why the white moose went here. Perhaps it is just passing by this place. Or maybe there is something here that gave it speech and anger towards the woodsmen." Sarya suggests to the others as they quitely watch the white horned beast. "We should perhaps kill it now when we can, or would you prefer to try to speak to it?" She asks Dwalt in a sincere voice.
“When you’re dealin with huge white death mootheth, attack first and ask questions later, my paw always thaid.” He stops sheepishly, knowing that he just sounded like a scared idiot and then looks to Dwalt and says “But I’ll go by whatever you think Dwalt.”

"It had alot of blood all over it but not sure if its from tha moose or another." Dwalt says.
Dwalt strokes his bear as he thinks.
"Lets set our own little trap fer it." he says finally. "How about we find a spot an set up a kill zone. I'll act as bait an' draw it to me while ya'll set up about 25 ft. around tha spot. If'n it charges we can wait till it hit that spot and strike it down. What do ya say?" he asks.
"Can't we simply attack it here and now, getting off some shots off before it even can react? Maybe we can take it down before it even reaches us?" Sarya suggests weakly, but realizes she is neither a hunter nor a tactician.
Ghathi listens to the others before jumping into the conversations. "Do you intend to try to communicate with the beast?" he asks Dwalt. "If there is something that makes you think that will work, then we can try your plan. But otherwise, I think the others are right that we might just launch our attack while we have an element of surprise now."
"Well" Dwalt responds. "I ain't sure of tha story we was told. I'm just tryin' ta confirm this creatures intent. If'n it wants ta kill then seein' a lone dwarf might spur it ta attack. If'n its not, then we got other issues ta sort out."
Dwalt gives Sarya a side glance. "I thought elves was all about presevin' life rather than take things as they were told an' attack somethin' just on someone elses say so, without seein' if it was true or not."
He pauses for a moment then says. "I'm a follower of tha Gods of Nature. A n' we might tread inta offensive territory without determinin' tha truth of this matter. I'd rather not attack outright just in case."
Dwalt nods then steps off to the side to make a quick prayer.
Dwalt gets up and says.
"Listen. I ain't goin' ta stroll down there and say howdy to it. Tha plan I have in mind is we set up a trap an I venture a few feet away from where yer hidin' an' get its attention. If it gets all flustered and charges, then I'll fall back ta that point an lead it inta a fatal funnel and we can take it down."
"Well, I'm half human so I suppose that would account for my gullibility and bloodthirstyness." Sarya says with smile and a wink to the ranger. "If you seek proof we need to kill this beast I'm okay with your plan, but unless you insist on facing danger I can use magic to determine if the moose would attack you on sight." She adds, swftly using her magic to create an image of Dwalt standing next to her in the snow. "What do ya think?" The image says with Dwalt's voice.
“Dwalt I agree with ye, I’ll be ready to spear it and carve it up with my axe. If it’s not friendly like. And it looks like it isn’t. But either way, I got yure back. Plain and simple.” Tysris nods and readies his javelin.

Dwalt smiles at his companions and nods. "That might be a better plan, ta draw it towards an illusion."
"Let's be about it then." he says.
Dwalt starts looking for the best spot to stage this little ambush. Dwalt is looking for a place that he might pass out of the beasts vision for a moment so he can hide and Sayra can create the illusion so the beast looks on it rather than Dwalt directly.
