Roving pack of animals seen

To any who happen to be in the areas by chance , a small pack of animals might be seen running together , two wolves and a black panther, in the areas of Shadowdale woods, Gnoll lands, Crossroads, East Shadowdale, Bugbear lands.
   Seadrin may have seen them as they ran past him in the crossroads. In many places where wild life would normally be found, there might be seen corpses of animals brutally shredded and ripped apart.
   To the trained eye, it might appear that most of the unfortunate victims were the larger and stronger of their type. Pregnant or nursing animals are never seen to be victims.
    A haunting howl , followed by more howls and roars answering , can be heard in the night.
