Dean

Dean was a human monster hunter played by Zerxrez in the Monster Hunter Campaign.

## Backstory

When Dean was just a baby his parents both left him and skipped town leaving him with his aunt. Not wanting Dean to find out the truth, his aunt made up a story that his parents were heroic monster hunters and couldn't raise him for that reason. To continue with the lie every year on his birthday his aunt would write a letter from his 'parents' saying that they love him very much as well as telling him fantastic stories of them saving people and whole villages from the things that go bump in the night. This left him with a fantastic imagination but, sadly, not very many friends. The stories and the lie had an adverse effect on Dean which caused him to join the monster hunters league in order to live up to his parents as well as the long term goal to be reunited.

## Campaign

### Session One:

At the start of this session He and Allen Ward join the rest of the hunters as reinforcements to assist this case, they joined this particular job as it was set in their hometown and the hunters seemed the most experienced from their description. After some introductions were in place they examined the heads the hunters found last session, not finding anything of note except they were all fairly youthful. They decided to stake out where the man with a cloak was seen most frequently, eventually they manage to apprehend an elderly man named Cross that Dean hasn't seen before, while he was certainly suspicious the hunters concluded he wasn't a killer and so let him be (After Abraham Loomis kneecapped him for good measure). The group then decided to venture into the woods to try and find the cloaked mans 'lair'. After Dean found a handy trip wire the gang stumbled upon a cottage in the woods which housed an old war vet turned hunter named Cloud. After questioning him for a bit the group has no leads to follow so Dean proposed acting as bait to catch the monster once and for all. But after a couple of nights of camping the murderer still didn't show up, having expanded all their options the group deiced to lay low for a week and the foreign hunters leave to lower suspicion, after awhile another dismembered head turns up again this time with nails through his eyes and the words "*This is what happens to spies!* " inscribed to a tree above him. The group pretty much out of options decide to follow Cross into the woods to see what he's up to. Dean follows him all the way to his little hideout but Cross quickly runs away from it screaming, as there was the body of E'its Cameron spread eagled with his cannon down the hill a ways. The session ended with E'its being buried near the hill.

### Session Two:

The session started out with the team deciding on going to bed and re-grouping in the morning where they were to start interviewing townsfolk as it was getting very late and were all very tired. Dean was so tired in fact that halfway back to his house he started sleepwalking, only to be awoken by Abraham saying that he saw the murderer in the woods carrying a bloody sack go back to Clouds house. They follow the cloaked figure and end up on the lawn of Clouds house, where it is revealed that the cloaked figure was Von Schlieffen who was carrying the dead body of Cross to hide in Clouds cellar. Dean didn't really do much after that as he was mostly asleep, long story short, Cloud was the murderer and was killed by Abraham, Schlieffen got off scott free (which Dean was not happy with). The next day the hunters decided to leave with Dean and Allen telling the townsfolk what happened, they didn't take it well and almost stirred up a mob to go after the foreigners. They were almost chased out of town with Dean quickly telling them to say goodbye to his aunt as she wasn't there. At the hunters lodge Dean decided to use the couple of weeks learning how to heal wounds as well as learn about medicine in general. Eventually they were assigned a mission. It took place at a little village called Lilly's Leap, where it turned out there was a spider-ghoul that was eating the villages' dead in their church graveyard. After some snooping around they found a cave at the top of a cliff where they suspected the monster to be hiding, and after some spelunking they had to retreat from the monster in the dead of night, after a long tiring march back to the town they start an expedition to trap the monster and smoke it out using a collection of torches and some crossbows. However while they were working on the very boring plan Abraham went there without them, with the gang hurrying up the mountain to save their coworker they made it to the mouth of the cave where they find Abraham's dead body, filled with vengeance they stormed into the cave to fight the monster (and hopefully TPK) They see the monster, prepare to fight it, and this is where the session ends.
