Bestiary of a Nighthunter 2
Stephen McLean for Len, Miner in his mid-late 50s
Len is a miner in Kaldberg, a settlement in the far north of Midora. After surviving the worst cave-in in years he claims a monster was to blame. Most in town judge him to be going mad both due to the trauma and his old age. However, when a monster hunter comes to town, he takes the opportunity to tell his story to someone who will listen.
Len is an abrasive, crotchety older man. I imagine he'd have a faint northern English or Scottish accent, but I am open-minded to any creative decisions.
You weren’t there Maria—none of you were! You can mock me all you like, but I know what happened in those mines weren’t no ordinary cave-in. There’s something down there, and it’s wearing all their faces.
It started as a normal expedition. The merchants have over half the men and boys in town employed. That day there was me, Tomas, Ordan and his boy Wyll . . . Ah, nevermind. If you want to know their names I can take you on a walk through the graveyard, though their bodies are buried a bit deeper than six feet.
What? You’re a bloody nighthunter! It’s your duty to protect people like us! What good are you if you can’t kill something terrorizing the common folk. People died down there—good people, and you’re just going to sit there and refuse to do anything about it?
