"Weeks ago the Sorcerer, Burnt Mule by name, approached Queen Blunt with an offer. He claims he found a powerful monster on the far side of this island that is in part responsible for its reputation for being haunted. He further claimed he had an agreement with it, in that it would allow itself to be weaponized as a tool for warfare in exchange for removing it from the ground it was rooted in, in order that it could find more victims. Mule has betrayed us, as it ruined the people we were to take as slaves. We're uncertain whether he intended this, or the creature has affected is mind somehow. We believe they intend to kill us all and have Mules associates place it onto the boat, to set sail for who knows where. Possibly to even takeover a local fiefdom."
