401 Return To The Village

Wolfe made short work of the magical beast with a [Wind Blades] spell before it could even react to his presence, then silently walked over to see if he could determine who it had been eating and where they had been taken.

There was a chance that it had caught another patrol or a lone farmer unaware, and there might be more casualties where this one had come from.

The body had been so thoroughly picked clean that it was nearly impossible to tell who it had been, but there were some personal effects on the ground under the tree that the beast had been calling home for some time.

The bones in the undergrowth suggested that this wasn't its first human victim, so Wolfe only recovered the beast's body and left the rest of the site intact for the locals to come and examine for signs of their lost loved ones.
