But don't overdo it to make it boring. As for true combat encounters it might be a good idea to create a sense of foreboding, like seeing fires in the distance and hearing howling or other bestial sounds at night, then the next day have them arrive at a circle of human and animal tracks with a burned out bonfire in the middle. Then a bit later introduce a some lycanthropes of the cult of Malar (People of the Black Blood, iirc), or something. Their 3-day hunt is on, and the PCs have happened on the path. After an encounter, if they dont just avoid it, they could follow tracks to some holy place of Malar.</blockquote>
