Teaser: Madelena Rosso Slain

There is a blood curdling scream in the night. The MHs will come upon a grizzley scene: a woman's devoured body. This will hopefully motivate the MHs to investigate.

Observation
A few people at the edge of the revelry suddenly appear distressed.

Failure: They will eventaully hear about Madelena's murder from others, Act 2.

Connoisseur, C.A.(People)
This was the lovely Madelena Rosso, daughter of Fiorentino Rosso, a minor nobel

Success: They have some leads: victim = Madelena Rosso, Act 1; suspects = French, Act 3.

Failure: They will have to rely on heresay, Act 2, or wait till the next attack, Act 7, to gather more clues.

Scene 3: Tracking the Werewolf

If the MHs responde to the scream and if they successfully track the werewolf all the way into the woods, then they may fight it to the death right then. If this would make the adventure too short, allow the MHs or werewolf to escape.

Setting: From downtown to the suburbs of Florence, at night.

Activities:

Tracking -5(full moon, urban)
They track the werewolf north, up and over the city walls and into the surrounding woodlands.
Combat!
Without silver weapons, they best bet may be to withdraw.

Success: They encounter the werewolf, and hopefully live to tell about it. They may return to Madelena's body, scene 2, for more clues or see what they can find from Fiorentino Rosso, Act 1, or the French delegation, Act 3.

Failure: They lose the trail.
