Resolved (2M): A Monster Most Fowl

*Edit: Updated based on feedback below
Player: Melcar (SkunkD)
Rumor: A small fishing/farming village (Parver Hill) located down the Serpent river from Sasanopa (North-East across the Throal Mountain range from Throal) is being ravaged by what appears to be the local migratory birds. At least, that's what the evidence points towards. Fields are being torn apart, livestock have gone missing, even the fish avoid this part of the river. The only clues that have been found recently are a few feathers and some odd prints on the river banks. Oh, there is also the horrible noise that happens some nights that keeps all the villagers inside their houses too scared to check on their livestock. Whenever this noise is heard, the villagers know that something will be missing in the morning.
Despite the village's request to Sasanopa or Marrek for help, none have come to their aid. Their last option was to send a runner to Throal looking for help.
The town can be reached easiest by traveling North West to Sasanopa and then catching a boat down the Serpent. There is supposedly an alternate route through the mountains along an old trade route that the town had established with Throal prior to the Scourge. This route was lost during the Scourge, and who knows what manner of beasts have taken home along it let alone what state it might be in and where it might be found today.
Location: 45.06
Circle: 2M
Reward:
50% price reduction on circle advancement (a one-time thanks from the various adventuring guilds since the resources aid so many adventurers)
Benefit: The village harvests the exotic Tanniper Berries which grow on on viciously barbed thorny bushes that mostly grow atop the ridges of the surrounding landscape and are used for many things alchemical, alcoholic and culinary. A pre-Scourge feud with one of the trade guilds in Throal ruined any direct import from Parver Hill (not to mention being 100% cut off from connection to Throal once the Scourge hit). Surely, this feud has been forgotten by all though...
Notable NPCs:
Turfus Shadowview is a dwarven thief adept (or perhaps just really good at sticking to the shadows) who was hired to carry the request for aid to Throal. His journey to Throal was by way of the Serpent River, through Sosanopa and along the main road to Throal.
