*A few moments before the attack*
"What do we know about this Elder Wendigo?" Sect Master Qing asked, directing the question to the rest of the room.
One of the Elders raised his hand, "I've tried to find records of Wendigos in our archives. They're supposedly an elusive race of monsters that reclused themselves within the caves of the Death Mountains. Not much is known other than a few descriptions of how they look like and their habit of eating people."
Sect Master Qing frowned, "The Death Mountains? And there's more than one of these things?"
The Elder nodded, "But it seems like the last sighting of such monsters were centuries ago, enough time for people to start dismissing them as a myth entirely. My theory is that these monsters are one of the contributors to the number of deaths in the Death Mountains which was already a hazardous place to begin with."
