Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34263048-20190813220830

You were former monster hunter, but as that profession had practicly died. The monsters had suddenly ended their reign of terror and bloodshed, and had become peaceful.

Monsterhunting didn't seem necessary anymore, bountys were not handed out anymore, and therefore you had turned your hobby of trading, in to profession.

Sure some travellers went missing every now and then, but some of them might had just gotten lost, and ran out of supplies, or fallen prey to local animals. At least there wasn't enough proof that it was caused by monsters.

You had been travelling far and wide on your trade routes, and were now closing in on one of the most peceful regions, for first time in couple months. There wasn't many monsters living here, only couple camps on the smaller side Orcs, Ogres, Centaurs, Goblins and the likes. but these were the ones that to your knowledge layed down their weapons first. Also, here lived the monsters that were first monsters you did any trading with.

How ever, as you arrive to the village you see that just about everyone is carrying weapons of some kind, Swords, Axes, Pitchforks, Clubs, whet ever could give them any leverage in fight. This was odd, most men had layed down their weapons since the monster attacks seized. So you asked around a bit.

After gathering some info, it seems that monster attacks have started again, and the attacks are just as vicious as they ever were.

Camp raided and everyone killed last week, signs of Orcs, Ogres and Centaurs on the bloodied ground. Small caravan raided, 4 days ago, and same story.

This was little bit odd, as while orcs got along with ogres, neither of them really got along with centaurs. Orcs and Ogres had allways been brutal, but Centaurs, They were rarely directly hostile towards anyone, unless someone gave them even a minor reason.

You were wondering what caused this as you hear shouting from the side of the village. A young man rode in to the village, telling how he had found again a raided camp. this one was fresh, probably happened last night.

You still have your equipment from your monster hunting days, and decide to investigate.

Couple hours later you find the raided campsite. and yes there difinitely had been a bloodbath there, signs of struggle everywhere, and ground covered in dried blood.

At first you agree that this definitely looks like what monster attack used to look like, but you son get a feeling that something is off. As you investigate more, the tracks that look like centaur tracs, are actually a horse tracks, the ogre's foot prints on the ground seem quite small and light for the heavyset Ogres, and the Orcs footprits look like the orc had been drunk, and wobbled around more than fought.

All in all. You are getting the feeling, that right now someone is trying to frame them being as vicious killers, while they have actually done nothing.
