(Sorry for the delay. Expect my posts to be somewhat more slowish than usual during this coming week. Currently animating at 80% on my university project to meet an update-deadline. Hand-drawn 2D animation is fun, but saps the energy right out of you.)

"Welcome everyone", said the Nord and gazed over the crowd. "Beast Slayers and apprentices. Hunters, trappers, recruiters and scouts alike. There are moments in which mankind have found themselves face to face against threats far beyond our comprehension, and yet we have overcome them all. The Numidium, the Oblivion Crisis, the Dragon Crisis. Yet here we stand. Another threat before us. And I'll be damned if mankind were to lose against some oversized animals. Compared to all the other threats we have dealt with that would just be insulting. Still we cannot deny that out of all of these threats, this is the most dire one. Never before have we been pushed to the brink of extinction."

He looked around at his fellow Beast Slayers. "As such I will have a little rehearsal of what we are dealing with daily. Not only for you experienced killers, but also for our newcomer apprentices, and for those who have already finished their apprenticeship."

He signaled to Falana. "If you may..."

The Dunmer nodded and rolled down a schematic over the wall depicting the various types of Beast that had ever been encountered as well as a detailed section over their strengths and weaknesses.

"From what we have learned of the monsters during these last centuries is that despite their abnormal size they are definitely not indestructible. They will fall like any other foe, when enough manpower is able to overcome them."

His gaze shifted between two tables at the front. One by which the newcomers were sitting and one by which those who had recently finished their apprenticeship were sitting.

"None of you have yet to have embraced the feeling of single-handedly slaying a Beast before, nor felt the tremor of gigant, moving muscles underneath your feet. If you wish to learn anything, feel free to ask and I shall give you answers of what it is you are training for to encounter."
