Carter
Carter was a bit annoyed; while it often happened she'd come across people not knowing much about series of murders/violent deaths in an area, few and far between were situations when multiple locals would actively claim that they didn't happen at all. She decided she'd likely not get her info there, and decided to keep it short, not without doing her best to figure out if those folks were hiding something.
"...Aw, that's a real shame. I had half a mind to hunt down the big fella. Welp, fine. I'll see what else I can do other than that, thanks", she concluded, finishing her beer. 6 in Social Skills to check their body language/tones/eye movement for any hint thay they're hiding something.

Most of them seem to be telling the truth. There is one however, a native American who just watches with concern from a corner.

Carter took what was left of her drink, walking over to the table of the person in question. "...You seem down. Something bothering you?" she asked, smiling.

"You're after the Buffalo demon?" He asked. "It's been a long time since I told that tale." He said inviting you to sit.

"Possibly. I was told about a bison, but if you got a demon buffalo to tell me about, that might be up my alley. Is it white and killing people by any chance?" Carter asked as she did sit down.

"That's what it looks like." He said. "The last one came nearly 150 years ago. Legend says that Wild Bill Hickok, and Crazy Horse themeselves teamed up to hunt down the beast. back then."

"Damn... sounds important. Anything in that legend about what it can do, and how to kill it, by any chance?" Carter asked.

It was super strong, resiliant too. It used to rampage through entire native camps killing anyone in it's way. It's hide shrugging off arrow and bullet alike. It took a lot of bullets and arrows to put it down when Wild Bill, and Crazy Horse fought it."

"...Yeesh... so, no weakness to a specific metal, or special vulnerability or anything? You need to basically be a legend and fill the thing with lead?" she asked a bit nervously.

"As far as I know. Yes." He said.

"Great", she grumbled. "I got my fair share of lead, mind you, but I ain't no legend, let alone two. Ought to be fun, I'd wager."
She shrugged. "...Alright, well... still got a trick up my sleeve, so let's not dismiss it as impossible just yet. What else can you tell me? More specifically, I got two questions. Where can I find the creature, and... if Wild Bill and Crazy Horse put it down... why is it back? Is it its baby, does it come back to life? If it does, is there a way to make sure it won't do so again?"

"Deep in the mountains and woods." He explained. "I don't know. Near as I can tell the creature reincarnates every 150 years."

"Awesome. So I'm probably gonna get myself killed, and it'll be back in five generations, huh", she said, sighing. "...Alright. Thanks for the info. Hopefully... a healthy dose of explosives will make up for the lack of heroes this time. Here. Have some drinks or a meal on me", she said, handing the man $100.

A bit concerned that she was biting more off than she could chew, Carter returned to her car and sat in the driver's seat, sighing. She'd fought her share of monsters, saved a lot of people, but she just saw what she did as her duty, not something heroic.
Frowning, she grabbed her phone, and dialed the number of her recently met succubus ally. Calling Morrigan.
