Period. So in this case success or failure at the skill challenge doesn't mean whether or not they get the info (cause they automatically do), but whether the "lady of the night" confides in them that she was threatened by the killer (with a bonus clue helpful in the fight), or she is still frightened and tells the killer the PCs are onto him (in exchange for gold). Or something like that.On the other hand, if there are multiple routes they can take to tracking the killer, and not getting info from "lady of the night" won't stop them dead in their tracks, then go for it as others have suggested... Ex. Perception notices the thin bruise she tries to hide when the killer intimidated her with a garrote around her neck.</blockquote>
