It happens to be that you all decide to go and hunt the monster of Khas' dreams, the last known siting of it would be in the mountains to the north east of the capital city. It would be a couple of days uneventful travel by caravan to get to the closest large town which conveniently sits at the edge of that mountain range. The town, Loughborough is a town of ten to twenty thousand people on the main trade route to Germania in the north.
As you enter town you hear all kinds of typical town talk, you hear of a recent beauty pagent that was won by a local girl of exceptional charms Elise Sunfrille. You also hear that at a nearby gentlemans tavern called 'The Silver Stag' a group of adventurers won the yearly hunting contest by presenting a huge prize to the owner of the tavern, the creatures head now serves as a piece of furnature. A sofa to be precise.
If you want to go directly into the mountains you're quite welcome to, you're all rested and it's the start of a new day. The foothills can be seen easily from the outskirts of town and the mountains too stretching far and wide. You know there are military in parts of the mountain range at the moment, clearing out areas for mining expansion but that's not for a long way away from where you'll be heading to find the creature, on the opposite side of the range infact.
If you want supplies, this is the last time you'll find them. You have ample trail rations for your adventures but anything else special would have to be acquired now, nothing worth more than 4,000gp can be bought here reliably but there is often all kinds of different stock available.
