Found and killed one of the largest umber hulks I seen poking around these parts yesterday just on the outskirts of town, out by the spider caves. Had colorings and markings of a dominant male. Know those Illythid been using them in the past, but didn't see or hear none of them in the area at the time.

Never seen any this close to the gates, let alone that big. May be concerning, and thought to pass it along to you.

The hook horrors you reported have been slain. I will organise an investigation into this matter later, in several hours. I will come to tell you.
