Depending on how the sounds carries, it could have been few hundred feet or half a mile away.Int+Magic Lore (creatures)+7=12; pretty good. The werewolves of Pomerania are infamous in the folk tales of the region. They are repulsive to animals, much like magi, which is their tell-tell sign and a cause of many presecutions against magi traveling in the region. There are clans of them, families, living amongst humans or in the wild woods of Pomerania as their whim strikes them. They are led by witches, which are said to be very powerful; the founder Bjornaer was one of them, their greatest, and her betrayal of their secrets is an insult to them. They hate Bjornaer magi with a passion.Many werewolves are lycanthropes, taking the form of a wolf on the full moon. The more powerful ones have learned to control their curse, and are Skinchangers instead. By taking the wolf's form voluntarily and succumbing to their base animal lust, they can avoid becoming one at the moon's whim.Half human and half animal, the werewolves are savage predators that live in the outskirts of human society, preying on human children and cattle as vicious wolves. They are feral and bloodthirsty, but can be very cunning and deceptive in their human form. Their witches are wise in ways of Animal; it is said Bjornaer invented much of the Order's Animal spells as conversions to the Hermetic system of her tradition's powers. In packs, they have been known to converge and best even powerful Bjornaer magi, and are just as indistinguishable from mundane animals as the Bjornaer are in their heartbeast form. House Bjornaer largely leaves them alone, for reasons no one understands, and while some sporadic attempts have been made to eradicate them from some regions of Pomerania none succeeded in the long run. There are speculations that Bjornaer magi are in fact not traitors at all, that the reason they do not eradicate their brethern is that they are really part of them, still loyal to the old werewolf witches way, and are in fact their leaders. The failure to eradicate them, it is said, is due to clandestine opposition from the Bjornaer. The powerful Bjornaer magi refuse to discuss the matter.Hmmm. See OOC thread.</blockquote>
