You might have been on a midnight patrol, or you might have been in your home, but where ever you were, it was the scream that drew your attention. That horrific howl of fear and pain. There was no possibility it could have been human. Although, whether you went yourself or heard from a neighbor, the body was found mangled beyond reason. What sort of creature did this? There were no claw marks, so it couldn't have been a beast. The body appeared as if gaunt and drained of.. something? Blood was aplenty, so something else... something more mystical perhaps?
In either case, the militia have doubled their patrols tonight. Especially near the edge of the village where the Witchwood looms ever closer, as if patiently waiting to consume the whole of the town.
