Macalaure had just been loading up his wain to depart the next morning. "I'm fed up with what's going on!" he snarled into the night. "All of this nonsense about having to find the Wolves. That
Glirdan character didn't even explain where this is!!"
Just then, he heard a low, deep growl...right behind him.

The villagers gathered the next morning. They counted themselves and weren't surprised to find that once more, one of them was missing. It was
Macalaure
They walked towards his house. They looked inside and saw nothing. They then decided to go around the back. There, a surprise met them.
"This looks like all of
Maca's special belongings,"
Volo said slowly, looking at the wain.
"That must mean he was planning on leaving today!"
Kath cried.
The villagers advanced on the wain. As the got nearer, a ghastly smell wafted up from the wain.
Nogrod advanced and cried out in horror.
There, in the middle of the wain, was Macalaure's body, or, what was left of his body anyway. For the ghastly beast had ripped the flesh and meat off and left all of his inner organs sitting inside it's skeleton.
The villagers ran away from the gruesome site, knowing that they only had one more chance to find the fiend.
