"We're needing help tracking some people that have been draining the blood of animals out here in "cult rituals". Its either ignorant children, or a rogue breaking our Law, someone who would need to be punished."

"If you can point me to some part of the trail, I should be able to track them down."
((Are there any humans, that Matthew can see?))

((ST Note: Right now, in the town square, the only humans visible are the four kids over at the open shelter. Occasionally a car or pickup truck drives by, mostly headed a few blocks down the street to what appears, based on the lights and amount of business, to be a local bar or tavern. Robbins is not exactly a rockin' community, and after dark it all but shuts down.))

Regina knows when to speak, and more importantly, when not to speak. This is that time.

O-Yama begins leading them to the area where he lost track of the truck, the dirt road where he had lost them originally.
"This is where I last had sight of them, a truck with a bunch of rowdy teenagers."

Matthew sighs. "I don't know if there's anything left to track after so much time. We may have to find another lead, but I'll see what I can do." His voice sounds rather doubtful, however.
He takes a moment to make sure no cars are immediately coming, then his clothing seems to merge with his flesh as he takes on the form of a moderately-large black-pelted wolf. Using his enhanced senses, he tries to sift through the various scents tire tracks, hoping that he can identify some sign of the described truck.

((ST Note: For Matthew, roll Wits + Survival to track, and Wits + Composure for general perception, both with relevant bonuses due to enhanced senses))

Narration:
Matthew's supernaturally-acute senses quickly determine that this side road sees a lot of traffic. He recognizes tracks left by off-road vehicles, dirt bikes, trail bicycles and a variety of jeeps and small trucks. He recognizes one track as very recent - left no more than an hour ago, by the strength of the gasoline fumes - and notes that the spacing of the treads is consistent with the sort of truck described by O-Yama. He also catches the scent of beer, and notices a freshly-crushed Budwieser can just a few yards down the road.

Matthew looks at O-yama and Pia, then jerks his head forward in an approximation of a 'follow-me' gesture. He then begins padding off in the direction of the the truck's passage.
