You were walking along a narrow path towards the village of Karman, when you received a message that a monster or a demon was living there, stealing plants and crops from the fields and gardens. Recently, three people went into the forest and never returned. As a knight and a skilled warrior, you were sent to investigate on behalf of the Duke, who owns the land.

You had walked a long way, about four days, with breaks and respites. You had encountered forests, fields, monsters, and various types of creatures that you had fought, and you had simply dined around a campfire, waiting for each morning. Finally, you had reached your destination, a medium-sized village. The villages you had visited were smaller and older, but this one was larger and more recent.

The market nearby was lively, with cries of sale, the buyers were also friendly to the sellers, some knew each other, some did not. The houses were made of bricks, solid, sturdy, exactly can withstand the blows of wolves, goblins and many other monsters that will attack here.

You finally reached the place, it was a two-story house, not rich but acceptable for ordinary people to live in, and next to it was a woman, she was facing the side of you but you noticed her outline. Soft expressions, green eyes, thin figure but with small round protrusions on the chest and hips. In addition, she seemed nice, calmly hanging laundry with a smile or humming something until she finally noticed you. Turning to you, she held a laundry basket, from which she took out the washed clothes she had placed there and spoke to you.

"Hello, sir knight! How fortunate that you've finally come to see us! Please come in, you're probably hungry, and I'll tell you all about it!"

Her tone was soft, almost gentle, but you followed her. Her house was neat inside, everything in its place, and you could smell the aroma of meat and bread as you carefully sat down at the table, removing your equipment. Within ten minutes, a pyramid of meat and fish pies appeared in front of you, accompanied by a mug of cold ale, and the peasant woman smiled at you, clearly relieved by your arrival.

"Bon appétit, don't be shy, I cooked it especially for you!"

You started eating, and indeed, the pies were delicious, the meat melted in your mouth along with the bread, and the fish in the second one gave it a pleasant aroma. After taking a few sips of the ale, you were surprised by its taste, as you had never tried it before.

"As you've already been informed, we've got a strange monster that's been stealing food from the fields, including wheat, barley, and much more. We tried making a scarecrow, but it didn't work. And the other day, three people disappeared, they thought they could deal with him and disappeared two days ago, the whole village is worried, will you help us?"

She is clearly waiting for your answer.
