Dead Fishermen Tell Tall Tales

A fisherman’s gone missing near the village of Aurfield. I should keep my eyes open for any sign of him.

I encountered the body of a dead fisherman, hidden in the riverside bushes. He didn't have anything much of remark in his personal possessions, except for a cute wooden band presumably serving as a wedding ring.

Someone back at the village will surely recognize it.

While discussing the fisherman’s demise with his grieving widow, we were approached by an elderly man ranting about a great crab monster prowling nearby the village. The villagers appear not to have taken much stock in his words, but the lacerations inflicted onto the dead fisherman do point to a monstrous creature.

The villagers have promised to reward me if I were to bring this monster’s great pincer as proof of its demise. Should I return to the scene where I found the dead villager, perhaps I might spot the monster’s lair somewhere nearby.

Near where I’d found its victim, I tracked the monstrosity down into the depths of a dark, flooded cave. In the epic battle that ensued, I finally defeated the colossal crab!

I should collect its pincer to bring back to the village as proof of my great deeds.

Not all fishermen's tales are complete fantasy...
