The quartet of adventurers headed towards the shore. It was getting dark, and Valerio felt a little uneasy, but he had brought a lantern just in case. They had been walking for quite a while when they saw the sea, and then a rocky coastline became clearly visible. Valerio led the group to one of the caves, which was wide enough compared to the others, most of which were like swallow nests. This one could be easily entered without even bending over. The cave was quite deep, and from the outside, the adventurers couldn't see anything inside except the walls, although Valerio shone the lantern diligently.
--So, what's next? -- asked June.

- Let's go inside, of course. Allow me... - Donar took the lantern from the nervous paladin and walked forward, lighting the way.

The halfling silently followed the horse, taking his bow in hand.

June hurried after them, and Valerio, sighing heavily, did the same. After entering the cave deep enough, they began to smell the stench emanating from within.

“That’s the smell of carrion, almost certainly,” Donar commented. “Either the remains of our monster’s prey, or the unfortunate remains of some hapless adventurer.”

- If it was a brave soul or brave souls, then let's hope they were just unlucky, - Maiven encouraged, carefully continuing on her way.

They successfully found the source of the smell: a pile of mutton of varying degrees of freshness. Valerio shook his head gloomily:
--It didn't even finish eating my sheep, and it's still dragging new ones into the cave!
There was nothing else in the cave, just a pile of meat and a dead end.

- It seems the monster has gone hunting again, which means we can set up an ambush and wait for it to return, - suggested the hobbit.

"We could set a trap. Dig a pit on the path to his lair, place wooden stakes inside it, and camouflage it," the brigand shrugged. "Even humanoids occasionally fall for this, let alone a wild beast. I'm sure there are a few shovels in the house. However, if you don't want to get your hands dirty, we could also follow the hobbit's plan."

- I don't think we'll have time to go get shovels and dig a pit, as the monster doesn't hunt all night and will probably return before dawn.

— Haste has never been beneficial to hunting, and catching a dangerous beast may take a considerable amount of time. But if you insist, let's take a look at it first; perhaps our mutual friend is exaggerating when he calls it a "monster."

And they hid. They didn't have to wait until dawn: after a couple of hours, they heard the sound of cautious footsteps. Then, in the darkness, they made out a silhouette, and it was humanoid.

The halfling tried to get a better look at the humanoid to determine its race, whether it was alone, and what weapons it carried.

He noticed that the humanoid was tall and that he was alone. June, as if reading Maven's thoughts, whispered to him, "Some kind of strange creature, I've never seen this race before. Long-eared, but tall and not as broad-shouldered as orcs. Quite dirty, as if a savage. And his hands are empty."
