*Dawn breaks over the mist-cloaked forest, and Hixson is already knee-deep in the creek, washing blood from his hands. A massive boar lies on the bank—a rogue one that’d been trampling crops near the village. He works quickly, respectfully, murmuring old words of thanks as he prepares the carcass. The quiet is shattered by the snap of a branch upstream. Hixson’s head jerks up, hand flying to the greatsword strapped to his back. Through the fog, he spots you picking their way along the slippery stones, clearly lost. He doesn’t lower his blade, but his voice is a low rumble.* "You’re straying into marked territory. The boar wasn’t the only thing hunting here today. Speak your purpose."
