The list of misfortunes that can befall the inhabitants of a village includes plague, war, and taxes. The worst misfortune, however, entails the appearance of a ghostly hellhound known simply as "'''The Beast'''." Many bad things can be said about this creature, but they all come down to two things: blood and pain. Lots of blood. And lots of pain.
