Part Three: The Hunter and the Hunted

Briefing

Lamashtu is death, plague, and despair, and while in the past I have been able to overpower her, she has had centuries to cultivate her disdain for me. I dare not face her, for she would surely prevail.

However, there is one creature who may be able to keep her at bay, to turn the hunter into the hunted so that she may fear to search for me.

  • Who?

The lord of the Spirit Stalkers; Shadow Hunter. He is driven to gather trophies and seeks only the most powerful of creatures as his quarry. The chance to take the head of the Mother of Monsters will be irresistable to him.

Seek him out in his lair, just make sure that you don't become a trophy yourself.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Shadow Hunter will not greet you with open arms. He is a creature that respects ability and strength. Prove you have both, but do not appear too strong, or he may endeavor to claim your head for his collection.

Briefing

Shadow Hunter merely studies you as you approach him. He looks wholly unconcerned that you are in his lair.

  • Great Shadow Hunter I seek your help...
Shadow Hunter grunts at you.
Your words. They are weak.
  • Uh... Sorry?
Shadow Hunter growls
You are weak. Like the mouse. You are beneath the bear's notice.
  • This mouse needs the bear's help.
Shadow Hunter glances at you with disinterest.
  • There is a predator greater than even you.
Shadow Hunter's ear flicks and his nostrils flare.
Tell me. (See below.)
  • There is a predator even greater than the bear...
Shadow Hunter's ear flicks and his nostrils flare.
Tell me. (See below.)
  • Shadow Hunter I bring you news of a powerful predator...
Shadow Hunter's ear flicks and his nostrils flare.
Tell me. (See below.)
  • Shadow Hunter I bring you news of a powerful predator...
Shadow Hunter's ear flicks and his nostrils flare.
Tell me.
  • She is a great mother, the mother of all monsters...
Shadow Hunter snuffs at the air in your direction.
Yes. Smell her. Death on the wind.
A barely audible rumble begins in Shadow Hunter's throat.
  • She hunts the Night Ward, but not for you...
Go. I hunt.
  • Good hunting.
Go, I hunt skulls.
  • Your Spirit Stalkers are weak, perhaps you are worthy...
Shadow Hunter's eyes widen as he looks upon you with interest.
You hunt pups and cubs. I am neither.
  • Perhaps... Perhaps not...
Perhaps you leave here alive, little mouse. Perhaps not.
  • Perhaps we both die...
Both die?
  • There is a predator greater than either of us.
Shadow Hunter's ear flicks and his nostrils flare.
Tell me. (See above.)
  • Perhaps you die here...
Let us find out.
  • (Fight)


Debriefing

Yes, I can hear the horn calls of Shadow Hunter on the wind. He will never relent in his pursuit, and thus, my hunter has become the prey of another.

While she is distracted we now have a window of opportunity to turn the tide and undo the wickedness that Serene has wrought.
