About a week ago a nearby village was terrorized in the night. Survivors from the village claimed that a giant monster appeared snorting flames, and burnt the entire village to the ground, killing most of the inhabitants as well.

As the description of the monster was given it became clear that it could only have been a fire dragon, a species long thought extinct. Hokas Tokas, the Main Hall's resident wizard, used a spell to locate the general area of the last known fire dragon and all the brave free adventurers who were around set out to find and slay this creature.

Shortly after these fine warriors cleared out, you returned from an adventure. As soon as you heard of this, you began packing your weapons to set out as well. But as you were leaving a hooded stranger approached you and implored you to hear him out.

As you sat at the bar with the stranger, he explained that he knew that the last fire dragon was a very kind creature and that it would never have done such a terrible deed. He said he feared for the life of this fire dragon, a dear friend to him, and implored you to find the real villain.

Something made you believe the stranger and you used your reputation to convince the local sheriff to stop all dragon hunters from entering the area for 24 hours while you search for any possible answers as to who or what could have been behind the destruction of the village.

Not only do you have to contend with the dragon hunters that had already entered the area before you spoke with the sheriff, but he also made clear that you had better find some hard, concrete evidence that the fire dragon is innocent. Good luck.
