The old man sits down at the table too on the other side of both of us with his own cup of tea. He takes a sip and pauses a for a short moment. "You are right about that but we have no choice. We are just a small community in the shadow of the big city. We are poor compared to those and can only afford to live here. But everyone knows eachother, it is usually calm and peaceful. Thats why we cant offer you much payment. I dont feel good about bringing you as silver adventurers into danger but there is no other choice." The old man says and takes another sip from his tea while looking around. The house looks ordinary with some usual wooden furniture, a cozy place. The oven warms the room.
"But I am thankful you are here now. It all began like three months ago. We noticed that a woman who was once out in the woods to collect fungi never returned home. So we started to look through the forest ourselves. But we couldnt find anything. And that was not the first person missing. There are several missing now. Always people who left the village and stepped into the woods or used the road to and away from the village. We once found a left behind carriage without the human riding on it. The people just vanish. Now noone is brave enough the leave the village and step into the forest. We never found a corpse or anything like that but I can show you the carriage, we brought it here." The old man explains.
A monster or a demon living in the woods. Not hunting in the village but attacking people walking either on the road or in the forest. Not leaving corpses behind so it either consumes the human completly or hides the body somewhere. It surely isnt a succubus because men and women are both the victims and succubi usually come by night and infiltrate the village, leaving dead bodies behind in the houses, I think to myself, heh. But in context with the spooky looking forest I think it is not too hard finding out what the monster is.
