Stopped only by noble sacrifice, the decrepit remains of their warpath still littered the marshes in the form of muddy roads, forgotten homes, and rotted trees. Many avoided these paths; Septimus did not. While he wasn't the only monster hunter who braved the forgotten trails, he was the only one out upon them today. At least that he had seen.
His horse, a midnight black destrier, was well accustomed to these areas and ambled along with the easy confidence of it's rider. Garbed in the mixture of plate, chain and leather so common to his people, he kept his pale eyes scanning the treeline.
Werewolves weren't uncommon, though he'd heard whisper of a wendigo in the region, created from a particularly onerous hermit who'd finally succumbed to near-starvation by feasting upon the rotten, human flesh he found around him.
It was hard to say, really. Often these trips went unremarked and without incident. If he were lucky, it would remain that way.
