Sigrid runs in, trying to Detect Enemies to see where the creature ran off. Unfortunately, it's already beyond the 20 yard range of the enhanced paladin vision, and it cannot be seen. At least, not yet.
Fachtna runs over to the spot of the attack, and amazingly discovers the victim not too far away. It seems the creature was caught mid-attack, and decided to abandon its prey before rushing away. The young man was the very same teenager who served you in the tavern - Long Bob Dree!
His face is sliced up, cut along the same line that Gnarly Peg's scar was. But poor Bob has his face much further removed. What's worse - where the young man’s face should be, instead of the bare muscle and bone that one would expect, there is a half-melted-looking expanse of skin, shriveling away from the skull in places.
OOC:
Fachtna and anyone else examining the body, please make a Will Challenge Roll or gain one insanity!
Meanwhile, thanks to Hugh's experience as both a bandit and a thug (two relevant professions!), he's able to quickly get a lay of the land and gain insight on some of the most likely hiding spots around. When you are all ready to go, Hugh will be able to lead you to where he would hide, if he were in this same position. And wherever that is, is likely where this thing is hiding.
