"Citizen, visitior, adventurer. Harvall.
Similar incidents have been reported all over Faerun. And not only have they been disarmed and defeated, they have been so with ease. Holy water.
A simple bottle of the water blessed by the Dread Lord will show the true form of any beast. Fear, and the next time you run in to something similar, your wits and holy water may ease your day."
