I was asked to look for a man named Iancu who went missing in the mountains near Parlita. I found his body. There's nothing more I can do for him, besides going back to see his friend Ciprian and letting him know what happened.

I may have found one of those missing people recently killed by a terrifying beast. I wonder if that man used to live in Parlita. Maybe his family would like to know what happened.
