Random Plot Interpretation

A vicious mammal yesterday attacked and killed a villager. A surviving witness that experienced the attack described a ravenous hulking beast. The victim was a  prominent villager. A tremendous feeling of loss envelops the community. The village is withdrawn to the safety of their homes, terrified at the loss of life from a prominent villager. A bounty reward is placed on the beast, and it will be given to whomever hunts and takes down the beast. Hopefully, this will be accomplished before it strikes another villager. Time is of the essence.
