Brutality meets Cruelty|Ekaitz

[Kender Bard]

The natural threat to Ekaitz for autumn is the appearance of rampagers around and within the city. Rampagers appear as large (the size of a donkey) reptillian creatures that run on all fours but are capable of moving about on their hind legs, upright, like a man. Their hides are very strong and almost impervious to natural weapons and they have somewhat of an innate resistance to elemental attacks of all kinds, though they can still be killed with enough application of this. They attack primarily by a surprisingly fast four-legged charge and then rearing up to rip and tear with giant claws and needle-like teeth. The rampagers will appear individually and will attack anything and everything, pursuing those who flee until death. They are most active during the day.

[Kender Bard]

The rampagers have been a great menace and threat to all who live in Ekaitz. Many slaves have lost their lives but a number of slavers have as well. A few slaves have taken the opportunity to escape during any attacks on the city itself. Leaving the heart of Ekaitz is no longer safe for anyone and all must cast a frightened eye to their surroundings for fear of being torn to pieces.

Many wonder who or what will save them from this peril.

Poisoned food (including older or weaker slaves as well as live stook) have been sent out in an attempt to kill the rampagers.

Traps have also been set for the beasts, as well as hunting parties armed with some of the tame monsters brought from Morilanta while it was under it's previous rulers.

Though several fall victim to the poisoned food, the creatures begin to act more choosy with their prey. Some continue to devour poisoned bait and die but others seek only the healthiest humans and animals to hunt. The population is culled though will continue to be a danger in the area, simply not an immediate or persistent one.
