Answer: Rattlesnake Root

When Ayla threatened to miscarry, Iza went and got Rattlesnake Root to prevent the miscarriage. Because she went out while she was sick, Iza almost died. Ayla never did take it because she was too worried about Iza.

Answer: A rabbit with a broken leg.

Ayla's first animal patient was a rabbit with a broken leg. She brought it back for Iza to fix, but Iza said she'd fix it only if Ayla was going to help.

11. Who was the father of Durc?

Answer: Broud

Broud had raped ten year old Ayla. He was the only one who had any sexual contact with her during her years with the Clan. Of course the men of the Clan thought Creb was the father because he spent a lot of time with her. The Clan thought totem spirits made babies not themselves, so they thought a Cave Bear was more powerful than a Woolly Rhinoceros to be able to overcome the Cave Lion.
12. What did Iza tell Ayla to never tell a man?

Answer: About the secret to be able to stop babies from growing.

Iza had a secret remedy to stop a woman from conceiving. She told Ayla that she must never tell a man because they would put a stop to it. The secret was a tea, to be taken in the morning, containing Antelope Sage and Golden thread. Iza was able to keep the secret because a man never asked a Medicine Woman what the plants were used for.
13. Who named Durc?

Answer: Creb

Creb had stood up for Ayla when he found out she was pregnant. After she gave birth and after she returned from running away with the baby, Creb named the baby Durc after Ayla's favorite legend.

Answer: Gorn

During the Bear Festival, Ayla had stepped in front of a man that had become wounded by the bear. She stepped in front of him and Gorn had attacked the bear to prevent him from going after Ayla. Gorn died when the bear mauled him.
15. Who was the teacher of the sling?

Answer: Zoug

Zoug was the teacher of the sling. The day that Ayla started teaching herself to hunt, Zoug was teaching Vorn how to use the sling. Broud became furious at the old teacher when he saw little Vorn starting to idolize Zoug. Broud pushed Zoug and he landed on his rump in the middle of the field. Unbeknownst to Broud, Ayla was a witness to his most embarrasing moment.

When he found out he wanted Ayla dead.

Answer: Ooohaa, Eeesha, and Zheena

During the ceremony that allowed Ayla to hunt, Creb called out the names of the Ancient Spirits. The names were Ooohaa, Eeesha and Zheena. Ayla recognized them as female names. Creb told the men during the ceremony that at one time women were allowed to hunt, but when they became the Clan of the Cave Bear the women had given up their right to hunt and were willing to stay home and watch the cave, raise the children and forage for food.
17. When Brun handed over leadership of the Clan to Broud, what did Broud do that infuriated Creb?

Answer: He separated Ayla from Durc.
