Onto a new frontier!

[Plot Device]

The settlement was composed of mostly tents within the recently erected wooden wall surrounding the groups of tents. There wasn't a soul inside the walls of Aurnion that wasn't busy, everybody was there looking for a way to turn a profit in the new land, all with various skills to bring to the table. In the center of the camp was a large bulletin board with what seemed to be hundreds of papers all with request. There were some calling for people to scout the land looking for materials that could be used to create goods, potential threats and to report them or handle it upon sight, others had sought out to hire body guards for map makers or even help out at the various shops around the settlement.

The city had two rules, no fighting in or around the city and not to interfere with another person's ability to turn a profit. Computation between two or more merchants when it came to prices was allowed but removing, or tampering with another's request on the board without the intent to fulfill it. Violators of the rules would be banned from the sanctuary that the city offered to those from Elibe.

It had been almost two weeks since the walls around Aurnion were completed. Some of the man power had shifted from building a protective wall into exploring the lands around the makeshift city. With each trip, the groups would push a little further, then one day the entire city went on alert. A badly injured fighter had collapsed on the edge of the forest near the city, he had crawled part of the way before somebody noticed him. They had called out for healers as they tried to apply some first aid to some of his many wounds. He had troubles speaking, he had troubles focusing on what he was saying and trying to say. The only thing they were able to understand was his group was attacked by something, he was the only survivor, he wasn't able to give a general direction of where it was or what had attacked him. They examined the body to see a lot of cuts and bite marks, they were thinking it was some kind of animal.


BOUNTY:
Find what had attacked the group and kill it. If the task of killing it would prove to be too difficult return back to Aurnion and report any and every detail of it.



You may create threads in the Aurnion sub-board in search of the mysterious attacker, you will not find it on your own though. I will make post having it appear in any thread on this board, priority going to threads in an active search for it. Form up your search parties and have fun.
