Summary:

 

It was a normal day in the field near Auvergne. Peasants toiled, gathering the harvest. The sun was harsh that day, and a peasant stopped working to swipe some sweat from his brow. As he lowered his arm, he saw for the first time the beast. It was hunched over something, tearing out flesh and feasting on it. The peasant panicked, and ran to Fort Verdun. By the time the Valiants go there, the beast was long gone, but the evidence of it's presence was still there, in the form of a bloodied peasant woman, half her body having been devoured. It was dismissed as a freak accident, a hungry wolf that had attacked the woman. Life continued as it was, until about a week later. The wolf struck again, taking the lives of three peasants this time. Again, the Valiants did not investigate further, afraid of what they might find. After all, these were just peasants. The attacks continued, the beast gathering more courage and recklessly attacking the workers.  This wolf was far beyond killing cattle, it had developed a taste for human meat. The beast itself was reported as being huge, almost as big as two men and a child. Yet, the guard group of the Duchy did not respond to the attacks, until a day were the Duchess was touring her lands, bringing her daughter with her. A contingent of five Valiants guarded her, and one of them went with the Rose II, having the duty to watch over her as she frolicked in the fields. A pair of eyes watched from the forest, growling as the two neared his domain. The guard called for the little girl to come back, that the sun was falling and it would be best to return. As they walked back to the carriage, the wolf pounced on them, catching the soldier unaware. He managed to slash it with his dagger as he died, and the young girl made it back safely. This was the crossing line, and the Duchess ordered that the pelt of the wolf be brought to her. The Valiants assembled in the war room an pinpointed the location of where the wolf would probably be. They geared up and set out, planning on sending the beast to the deepest hole in the Nether. They did not know if it was a mutated freak, a strange creature of the undead, or a beast in the service of those from the North, but one thing was certain. Either the wolf would die, or they would.

Other Information: The beast might be a creature of the north, or simply a giant wolf. It might be protecting it's litter of pups, or just feasting on peasants. First event I've written up, hope I didn't mess up.

Do you need the Event Team's assistance?: Yep

If so, do you require actors and/or builders?: We would need an actor to play as the wolf, and possibly a builder to make a den in the forest.
