A campfire story told by many, the story differs from region to region, but each story has the basic plot. It is about a group of colonist traveling the lands until them come upon a plain near a forest. Finding the soil to be fertile, they settled in the region using the wood from the forest as building material. Unbeknownst to them something lurks deep in the dark forest, dark and evil. During night watches strange howls can be heard at odd times. While nothing has occurred since the howling started, several residents grow weary and decide to send out a hunting party to find the source. A group of 15 able bodied men went in at the bright dawn of the morning, but only 4 made it back at night with a warning, a warning to return back where they came from or else. Most of the villagers adhere to the warning and leave immediately while a handful stubbornly stay.
They next day though a heavy fog covers the almost empty town and the remaining occupants. The howling is heard inside the square which turns into mancanical laughter. Soon the laughter dies down, and all is silent until a calm voice comes out from seemingly from thin air.
"Tis your end."
The story usually ends with the storyteller goes quiet and a partner of his sneaks up behind the group and says the final line, ending with laughter.
