Contract Summary
Caravan Master seeks capable hunters. Erinyes has turned Extraplanar into a danger zone. Find the truth behind the threat Reward promised: 695 gp and a recognized trophy taken from Erinyes, enough to prove the deed in noble halls and roadside taverns alike.
Target Monster
Name: Erinyes
Type: Fiend
CR: 12
Legendary: No
A devilish warrior woman with red or ashen skin, large black feathered wings, and blazing eyes. Her black hair is braided, and she wears infernal armor while wielding a long sword or whip.
Mission Frame
Employer: Caravan Master
Objective: Find the truth behind the threat
Secondary Pressure: Time matters. The danger around Extraplanar will worsen if the party delays.
Escalation: Delay gives the threat time to strike a place assumed to be safe: shrine, granary, hall, or infirmary.
Hook and Signs
Hook: Each time the road through Extraplanar is cleared, something tears it shut again before the next caravan arrives.
Signs of the monster:
- Boundary stones, trail markers, or shrine posts have been moved overnight to redirect travelers where the threat wants them.
- Thin crystals of frost cling to stone, wood, or bone in weather where they should melt instantly.
- Local offerings disappear only after dark, and the ground nearby shows a regular path rather than random scavenging.
Twist: Erinyes caused the visible damage, but another hidden force directed where and when it struck.
Rewards
Primary Reward: 695 gp and a recognized trophy taken from Erinyes, enough to prove the deed in noble halls and roadside taverns alike.
Secondary Reward: Relic reward: Infernal Cinder Nail
Infernal Cinder Nail
Form: nail
A black-red spike cool to the touch and warm to the eye.
Minor Effect: Once per long rest, the bearer can light a flame that resists natural wind and rain.
Reward Item Preview
Influenced by the hunt reward relic cue "nail" and refined by the hunt’s tone, environment, and target monster. The relic cue is treated as a preference, not a locked item type.

What is the Monster Hunt Generator?
The Monster Hunt Generator creates ready-to-run bounty contracts, creature-driven side quests, and fantasy monster missions for DnD, D&D-style campaigns, and tabletop RPG sessions.
