A Wolf in Goat's Clothing

The merry bleating of Actar's horned inhabitants quickly died out as a mysterious creature abducted Bodo's furry companions. Although no one had seen the creature, the bloody remains of creamy goats and wargoats suggested that it was large, and hungry!
A hunting party was formed, led by the the halfling Orbus and Oceana Dawyn, whose nose proved more valuable than that of the keenest hound. Tracing bones, horns and tufts of fur, Sarathai El'Rihwin and the Druidess picked up Elstan Vorondil and followed the trail of gore to the foot of the Southern Vashnars. After the idea of "borrowing" goats from other areas in Sapience had fallen on deaf ears, Shirszae Nynniaw said her goodbyes to Biba and joined the adventurous group on their quest.
When no other could, Orbus' trained ears heard a rumble underfoot where the bloody trail ended. Not long after, Sarathai and Shirszae heard the sounds as well and Sarathai discovered a hidden cave, its sole inhabitant the cause of Actar's gruesome slaughter.
Her hiding place uncovered, Zasag was clearly not amused. A difficult discussion ensued to convince the Cyclops to stop stealing and eating Actar's goats. Alternatives were hunted and offered to the hungry woman, Elstan being the first to deliver a wolf. Without hesitation, Zasag devoured the wolf unblinkingly, leaving a bloody mess in her cavern.
Other animals were offered, but the eternally hungry cyclops would only touch the presumably delicious wolves. Filled to the brim and finally satisfied for as long as it lasted, Zasag accepted Sarathai's proposal and vowed to never steal goats again, so long as she is provided with her favourite meat. Rumour has it that those brave enough to serve her will be rewarded handsomely.
A slimy handshake, dripping with spit, later and the deal was sealed.

Summary: Orbus and Bodo received help from a dedicated group of adventurers as they hunted down the thief and killer of Actar's goats. Zasag, the Swift was found hiding in a hidden cave at the foot of the Southern Vashnars and convinced to eat wolves instead. The cyclops offers a reward to those who bring her favourite meat.
Penned by My hand on the 12th of Lupar, in the year 687 AF.
