“You arrive near the small village described by the innkeeper. As presented by the latter, the fields around the first houses were ravaged, the earth turned over and the plants uprooted. The work of the enemy tracked by your group of mercenaries, there is no doubt.
Once in the village, only the dull sound of the wind reached your ears. The shutters were closed, sometimes covered with wooden planks as temporary protection. After a few moments, you see a woman, with a child clutching at her apron, hiding behind her.
She recognized your company and hastened to present you a huge bag of gold coins, if you could defeat the beast that has been terrorizing the area for several months now. She gave you a brief description of your prey, before showing you with a trembling hand a forest in the hills above the small farming village.
Whatever the origin of this enemy, you have never tracked one like it.”
