Background:

Michael Callahan has always lived in another world. An awkward boy, he spent all his time in books that spoke of other worlds (Tolkien, Howard, Pratchett, etc.). His young adulthood was spent much the same way, but with an inclination towards finding the otherworldly within his own existence. He studied obscure books and every legendary creature on earth, including the Ohio mothman, the Louisiana rougarou, Nessie, and little gray men. His latest obsession was sasquatch sightings in the Pacific Northwest.
Finding credible leads from bookstores in and around Seattle, he headed into the hills of the Skagit valley area to search for evidence. He rented a cabin off the grid in order to truly immerse himself in the area.
About two weeks ago after a powerful storm, he noticed that he began to recite some of the spells out of some of his old spellbooks...and they worked. He finally chose to leave the cabin after he heard a terrible crash that sounded like a jet airliner went down in the woods near the cabin. He has stumbled upon the Skagit patrol.
