Chance Encounter

Of course, this had been entirely coincidental. The witcher's quest this time was to kill a monster called "Sylvan."

Sylvans and yakshas were extremely rare woodland creatures whose appearances combined the traits of goats and rotund men. These beings usually posed little danger, for they limited their contact with humans to playing harmless tricks and eating crops from their fields.

Sylvans and yakshas resembled men - not just in appearance but also in behavior ---- ---- Unfortunately, they had adopted more of our vices and weaknesses than strengths. Lazy by nature, they would gladly spend every day in idleness, puffing on pipes, gorging on rich food and downing strong drinks.
