There have been strange things happening lately in the vicinity of Stone Goblin. Animals—sheep, chickens, dogs, and smaller wild animals, and a few humans—have been found dead. Their bodies have been torn as if by wolves. Some people have even disappeared.
Strange things have been seen. Some claim to have seen shambling, half-human shapes just off the trails at night. Some people have seen great man-sized bats flying high across the moon.
It is a strange time. People are talking of werewolves, ghouls, vampires. Some even talk of the Hunt, last seen over a hundred years ago when the Black Mage attempted to take over the area with his hordes of Orcs. Nobody truly knows what is happening. Nobody travels at night!
