It started just before the start of last Autumn. Trappers and woodsmen returning from hunting trips into Ravenswood brought back stories of comrades who had been lost to a creature of ancient evil which stalked any caught in the forest after nightfall. No one has seen the beast and lived to tell the tale. Their mutilated corpses were found headless. None of the victim’s heads have ever been found. The merchants and elders of Arnstown posted a bounty of 500 silver pieces to whoever killed the beast and brought the head before them as proof.
That was 4 months ago. The bounty has been increased 3 times and now stands at 1000 pieces of silver, but still no one has succeeded in slaying the beast.
