Trailing a Local Legend (A 40 XP Red Quest)

You're on the trail of an elusive creature you only from stories.

There's something that draws you to this legend—whether it's your personal history, a visceral fear you have to face, or a feeling of kinship. It's more than a scientific interest, even if you're telling yourself that's all it is. Others might think it's just a story, but you know—you know—that it has to be real, and you're going to find it.

Once you do, you'll have to decide whether you're satisfied with the answers you've got, and what you actually want to do next.

Major Goals:

The HG can award you 5 XP towards this quest when you:

[ ] Come across evidence of the creature's existence in an unexpected place.
[ ] Lose your way in the woods.
[ ] Share or listen to an old story or legend that relates to your search.
[ ] Lie in wait to confront the creature and face it.

You can earn each bonus once, for a total of 20 XP.
