He motions to a boy in the crowd, who comes forward, bearing a large heavy brown book."Cant draw. We all heard tell tha Brother MArtin met strangers that were huntin the Fiend." Cort says matter of factly. "Had my boy go and fetch this from the good brothers in the library. He helps in the church sometimes, and likes this book-it has stories of St Cuthbert."The farmer takes the book from the tow headed boy. He carefully pages through the book  as each of  you and Brother Martin look on. Despite a nervous look upon his face, Martin watches silently.After a moment, Cort finds the page and turns the book toward you."Here. Cant read it but this is what I saw. Or at least the rear of it. It was dark, but it ran out of the edge of town, heading north and east, most likely to its lair."On the two open pages of the book is a lavishly illustrated scene of the Fiend devouring a hapless man. The creature looks to have the body of a cat or similar beast, with dark fur or skin. It has a long tail, clawed feet and instead of a mane of hair,  long snakes sprout from its neck. The snakes frame a fierce head and an almost human face with long fangs.</blockquote>
