Helspar's Crag

You and Jaf sprint along the swamp's edge to your camp and arrive just in time to see... something sink its fangs into Lightswift's throat. The creature, a drooped, brakish beast with bulbous eyes and long, narrow fingers, tears your horses flesh and revels in the warm spray of blood against its slimy face. Lightswift snorts and kicks wildly before her legs give out and she collapses.

Jaf races ahead, sword drawn, to confront the creature. The fool boy fails to see still more of the beasts rising from the swamp on his left.
