When stopping in a small village, the players meet a saleswoman who is clearly distracted. When the players inquire she tells them that she cannot bear to keep it in any longer - she believes her husband is cheating on her! She tells the players that her husband goes out hunting most evenings. Often he does not come back until extremely late. He does sometimes come back with a kill, but most nights he simply comes back smelling of.. something... or someone else.
The woman requests that the players follow her husband. If they agree to they soon find he is quite sneaky. For each night, roll a D100 (or play this however you want):
1 - 45: The husband leads the players into the woods, but he slips them and is lost in the darkness.
46 - 60: The husband leads the players into the woods and tries to slip away from them. However, the players are able to maintain visual and they are led to the husband's den.
61 - 75: The husband spots the players and either (D100):
- 1 - 40: Runs away into the darkness
- 41 - 65: Tries to inquire with the players as to their intentions.
- 66 - 100: Attacks the players
76 - 100: It is a full moon, and the players are no longer the hunters.
On a full moon, or if the husband attacks, the players quickly learn that he is a werewolf. It is a difficult fight and the husband is a viscous combatant. If the players manage to bring him below 15% health he will return to his human form and plead for mercy - begging to let him be with his family.
If the players defeat the husband, or if they manage to follow him to his den, they are led to the husband's family... his other family. A den with three children and a wife, all of whom are very happy to see him and very scared for his safety once they see the players (and perhaps his wounds).
The players must decide how to proceed. Do they kill the werewolf family? Do they tell the wife? The husband has one final suggestion/request - take his bloodied shirt to his wife and tell her that he was attacked and killed by an animal in the woods. Let her be at peace and have a chance to find new love.
