Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The beginning

Day 1

We've run into a strange entity today. It appears to be friendly. Although when shown hostile intent, will at first raise his hands in a 'peaceful' manner, but if hostile intent continues, it will move at superhuman speeds and kill the entity which holds the hostile intent towards it.

After killing its prey, the entity proceeds to what can only be described as mourn their death. It does this by crouching by their bodies, and placing their decapitated head onto their body then producing a low hum that causes others around it to feel saddened. 

 The creature also seems to take a guardian-like role towards its companions and seems to be able to understand human language but cannot speak due to the fact that it has no face. But this 'limitation' seems to not hinder it in any way. it seems to be able to 'see' without eyes. We believe using its other senses, as the creature exhibits no magical power. 

 The entity seems to protect those it considers its companions. Killing those who hold ill intent towards them. 

 Day 2

 The creature seems to have superhuman abilities such as but not limited to: super speed, super strength, super healing, and enhanced dexterity.

 The creature seems to try at first to be non-hostile towards other living creatures until they try to harm it or its 'companions' 

The creature seems to not like killing; seeing as it mourns the death of those it kills. Its intelligence, although not amazing, is better than most Creatures we run into. He tends to go for vital attacks when provoked; Ie: head, heart etc. allowing for a quick death. 

It doesn't seem to need food or water, and as far as research goes, does not produce waste, (urine, feces) It doesn't seem to have any obvious weakness. 

Day 3

One of our party agents was killed by the creature today. Agent Jones snuck up on it and tried to strike it with a knife. When the blade was close to coming in contact with the creature, Agent John halted suddenly..his head falling from his body. The creature turned and growled. This time, strangely the creature crouched down, and instead of 'mourning' a large mouth formed on its 'face' and it started to eat agent Jones. The team sat back and watched in both shock, awe and fear. After a minute, Agent Jones's body was gone..nothing was left. The creature seemed to..sulk? it walked over and bowed before me.. I think as an apology for killing my companion? After bowing, it walked off.

Day 4

The strange creature hasn't come back since killing/eating Agent Jones yesterday. Though we keep vigilant just in case. 

Day 5 (end of report)

The creature hasn't come back, due to orders, we are packing up and leaving today. Although the entity hasn't come back, we aren't gonna wait to see if it does. Though we are prepared to kill it if it returns.
