I find myself in a haste to report a very odd encounter I had today in the forest surrounding the city of Yew today. It actually begins early yesterday evening when I was patrolling the areas outside of the city guard zone. I stumbled across some odd tracks weaving between the trees of the forest. At first I was certain they were made by a giant serpent and I began my quest to find the beast and bring it down before it would harm any innocents in the town.
I spent the entire night looking and was joined by three guildmates on the quest. After many hours searching the forest we came up empty handed. It was this evening just before nightfall that I came upon the creature responsible for the odd tracks.
I was making my rounds through the forest as is my routine when I entered a clearing and found the corpses of various creatures. Normally I take this as a sign that perhaps another hunter is out and about, but tonight I was concerned because once again the tracks are present. I decided to hide in wait to see if my prey would show itself. I was not disappointed. Not more then an hour would pass before the creature would emerge from the darkening tree line. It was as I expected but so much more. As I had thought my prey was serpentine in nature, but unlike the giant serpents that sometimes plague the wilderness, this beast was more than I ever could have imagined. Easily three times the length of a human man and standing much taller then any man i have ever seen, this creature carried a halberd and knew how to use it.

I stood my ground and with some effort overcame this creature of nightmares but I am still at a loss as to what it's name may be. I have heard tale of some serpentine humanoids emerging recently in the depths of some dungeon but what could such a creature be doing scouting the forest of yew. I fear that something dreadful may happen and that perhaps this was just a scout for something much, much worse. I shall take this message back to the citizens of Yew and those that frequent the forest of the town.
