"It all started three days ago, good sir!" the man started to hammer. "Two of our hunters never made it back to the village. The night after that, one of the cows was brutally mutilated by what seemed to be a carnivore. The next morning we sent out several men to search for the lost hunters, but one group of men didn't return either."<br/><br/>The man wiped the sweat of his forehead, trying to supress  his emotions before he continued: "Since then, nobody has been allowed to leave the village for more than a short distance. We've put up watches around the clock. The boys are to watch during the day, while the men are rostered in shifts to watch at night. Alas, the following night the creature returned. The men that were awake to see it, said it looked likea gigantic lizard, running around on it's hind paws. It forced itself into the stables, took a young horse in his beak, and ran off with horse and all. It seemed hardly of a hindrace to the creature, as it managed to disappear in the night before the other people were woken by the alarm and out of their houses."<br/><br/>"The villagers are living in fear!" the man plead. "Good sirs, please help us and eradicate this demonic reptile!" The men around him joined in, sounding very desprate as they were pleading for the soldiers' help.
