Fenrath, the Dire Wolf
In the brush near your camp, you can't help but notice a twig breaking a few feet away in the treeline. Surely no creature big enough to be a threat could get this close, yet something seems off. As you turn to investigate, you see a pair of dark, piercing red eyes and hear the hungered breath of a beast. The creature is 10 feet long easily and its matted fur has the look of dried blood. As you make eye contact, the figure slowly steps back, fading into the brush. You keep watching, waiting for it to return, but it seems the creature left. What could it have been? What was it after?

A dire wolf's head with piercing red eyes. It is surrounded by a crescent moon with a broken arrow underneath.

After you babied the weak and fed the poor? How will they learn without pain? And if they were to die, they deserve nothing less!"
