The Wilderness

Taking your supplies, you sling your backpack over your shoulder and head off. You head out of town and towards the farms to the north of Berda Trading Post. You make your way to the northernmost farm. As you pass through the farm with the intent of heading out into the wilderness, a farmer addresses you seemingly out of nowhere. You look for the source of the voice and see a sprightly old gnome with a pitchfork shoveling hay into piles. Finally! You've arrived. Thank the gods. It's the third beast I've lost this month. Come and let me show you. You give him a puzzled look. Well, aren't ye here ta look into my missing beasts? Didn't Mr. Sigma' send ye?


What do you do?

You mean he didn't send ye? Well shoot. I mean I suppose orcs coulda taken them. I have'nt seen no signs though. Could ye please take a look. I'm pretty worried now. If ye could take a look around the northernmost field I'd really appreciate it.

Me sheep. he says to Magak. Then he turns to Que and says Just keep heading north like ye were. I moved all o' my animals southa there. You should be able to find it. Look for the empty field He points in a northerly direction.

I just want it ta stop. If ye find me beasties that'd be grand though.

You head north. You look to your left and right see fields full of sheep. It doesn't take you very long to find the field without any sheep. You cross the fence and make your way around the field. As you follow the northern fence you come across a strange sight. A hole has been dug under the fence and there are animal tracks all around the muddy hole. What do you do?

Tracks. I point.

You can tell that these tracks have been made by a group of animals. Maybe wild dogs or wolves.

@Que
You notice a larger set of paw prints that unmistakably belong to a dire wolf. Also, there is something odd about the tracks but you're not sure what.

@Everyone
The tracks lead off into the forest.

What do you do?
