Cookie - Dwarf Tabaxi (Patreon)

Together you begin to find the tracks of this beast. Your parties rouge says he can hear the beast a ways off, but there is something closer. 

Laid out near the path, you find what looks like a small tabaxi. Temper immediately rushes over, and they start to converse animatedly. After making sure he was alright, one of your party attempts to speak with him in tabaxi

His face lights up, and finally you are able to communicate easily. He explains they are a hunting party from across the sea, dealing with a monstrous beast that swam from their shores towards this place.
