So without any extra light sources not to attract any attention to yourselves, you head up the mountainside to follow the tracks left behind by the creature. Ray takes some shots of the tracks as you slowly lose sight of the hotel. The tracks are easy to spot in the moonlight: they are roughly 18 inches long and six inches wide—enormous human tracks, by the looks of them. Wondering what kind of creature could create these kind of tracks James holds for a moment as he looks ahead to where he spots a faint line of trees. Suddenly it strikes him as he replays the image of earlier that night again in his mind, a werewolf! But that isn’t possible… those things don’t exist and are mere legend! Puzzled for a moment he sees he’s lagging behind and he runs to catch up while the thought of a werewolf keeps flashing through his mind.The tracks lead you northeast along the edge of the chasm, away from town and up into the mountains. After about 10 minutes, you lose sight of the hotel. The trail heads into a wooded area dotted with pine trees. It becomes increasingly difficult to make out as the woods grow denser and the trees closer together, blotting out the moonlight. Just as the woods become so dense that you five nightly (and cold) investigators can hardly see anything anymore and are starting to mention “turning back”, the trees end abruptly and they emerge into a snow-covered clearing. Lit by the twilight of the full moon, the clearing lies still and gray, it’s blanket of snow broken only by the humanoid tracks—and a black structure jutting up near the center of the clearing. The tracks lead toward the structure, mill around the area, then wander off toward the far side of the clearing, where they disappear again over the edge of a hill. Watching from the tree line you suddenly become very silent as a feeling of doom encroaches upon you. Time passes and Doc and Jason are the first to snap out of this strange enchanting effect the sight of this place seems to have on you. They snap the rest out it and as they cautiously draw closer, you all realize that the black shape is the collapsed remnants of a small building, long abandoned and half-covered by snow. The only question is.. what do you do next... Something's out there... {insert music}</blockquote>
