A Lingering Ill Omen

Expedition

As the Peregrine Pact settled into their new seat in charge of Fort landing, their scouts sited the enormous wolf-like creature that had escaped the fort's saviors - a creature identified as a beast of ill omen. Concern for its terrifying magical presence mounted with the knowledge that it wasn't very far from home, and a bounty was put out for its head. Stor, Cain, Aestryllen, Concord, Shai, and Ruckus answered the call, and skipped the opportunity to conduct research for a knowledgeable advantage to begin their hunt immediately.   Determined to press on and relying on the advantage of darkness, the group elected to hike through the night toward the sighting, rather than set up camp in the west woodlands. Although some members grew weary, their decision was not in vain, as they came across the location, though it and the zig-zagged trails leading toward it were ravaged with necrotic energy. Worse, an undead beast on a hunt of its own crossed their path, coincidentally meeting them beneath where their intended target hid.   Within range of its debilitating aura of negative energy, the party fought hard to slay they stray beast. It was then that they could focus their efforts above, where they were able to bring down the hiding beast of ill omen. Its uncanny escape artistry nearly secured its life once more, but the group's coordinated efforts brought an end to its aural havoc. Its head became a fine trophy for their return.
