"We got some interesting jobs for us to take on", the elf girl said happily, showing him the document. "Also, we could do some hunting jobs for the butcher on the side if we please."

"Okay, so what should we do first?" He asked.

"Well, few people have what it takes to even get to a sunken ship at all, let alone explore it, and most people would stay the heck away from a haunted ruin, including many adventurers. I think it's clear that those two can wait. A giant wolf with a bounty on its head could easily draw other hunters... so I think we should start with it, especially as it's the most likely threat to the common folk", she suggested.

"Alright. Let's just check the details", she said, re-reading the piece of paper. "There must be some hints as to its likely location, or something."

Nothing much other than all the sightings being near the apple trees.

"How odd... why would a carnivorous, huge beast hang around fruit trees?" the elf pondered with curiosity. "You know of any significant apple trees fields around town, Tristan?"

"Aye, there's a small orchard outside of town." He said.

"Okay. Then how about we head over there first?" she suggested. "Lead the way.♥"

He nodded as an hour long walk later you arrive at the Orchard with no problems.

"Here we are... such a lovely orchard. How about we look around and see if there are any traces of a large beast hanging around here?" the elf suggested. 7 in Intelligence to do so as we walk.

As you walk among the trees you see several tracks as old as a few days.
Human shoe prints
bare human footprints
and the footprints of a HUGE wolf.

"...Oh, my. Look at those prints... they weren't kidding when they said it'd be giant", she said, frowning.

"So what do we do now?" He asked examining the spent apple cores left behind.

"What else?♥ We follow the wolf tracks. In the opposite direction, namely where it came from, because it should lead us to its den. If it often comes here to prey on people picking apples, then it is possible its lair is actually quite close, although given its size, maybe not that close. We'll see. Either way, I'm a quite decent tracker, and my eyes are much better than humans', so I should be able to track it down with relative ease", she explained, as she began doing so. 1 in Speed to get moving;
9 in Thieving (Search area) +2 from Acute Senses, possibly helped by my Enhanced Vision 3 (See in darkness, Far sight) modifier in certain circumstances, to track the wolf back to its den if possible.
