MH: The ATL - Mission briefing

I got volunteered to run a Monster Hunters game this Sunday. I'm scrambling to put together a scenario. I'm going to post what I'm thinking here and ask for feedback, encounter ideas, etc.

(Spoiler alert - I may run this for GenCon this year, if the scenario works out well and if I can get on the schedule at this late date... Don't read if you think you'll want to play a similar scenario at GenCon.)

Quote:

Amy was attacked by a werewolf when she was 9, on a camping trip with her Girl Scout troop. Late one night while everyone else was asleep, she got up to go to the bathroom and got turned around and lost in the woods where she was attacked by a werewolf. The Troop leader and other adults in the group heard the attack and came to her aid. The lone werewolf, surprised by superior numbers (armed as well), fled, leaving Amy wounded but alive. In the dark, the Brownie leaders believed the beast to be a large wild dog. Four weeks later, Amy transformed for the first time. She ran off into the woods to hunt. There she encountered other werewolves - a communal pack that have achieved, via mutual support, semi-rationality. During the full moon, Amy and the pack hunted together. When they returned to human form, the pack took her in and began to teach her how to deal with her new state. Amy stayed with them for almost 6 months, during which they took her from feral to semi-rational, teaching her how to hide her new, true nature from humanity. At this point, Amy returned to her family, who had assumed she had run away, to their great joy and relief. She returned, however, a new person - moody, temperamental, angry. Her parents put her into therapy, but councillor after therapist could not seem to get through to her, to overcome the anger issues which seemed to dominate Amy’s personality. After the last therapist vanished mysteriously, Amy’s parents now just try to deal with her on their own. Now 12 years old, Amy has adopted the persona of an angry goth teenager as the (incorrect) stereotype of that subculture helps explain her unchecked anger and emotional issues. She often disappears from her parents’ home (although no one has associated these disappearances with the lunar phases yet). Her parents are at a loss as to how to deal with her and generally just give her space. She still sporadically attends school but is in danger of failing her classes. During all this time, she stayed in touch with her adopted werewolf family, visiting at least once per month during the full moon. Several months ago Amy was hanging out with other goth kids in an abandoned house. The other goths begrudgingly accept her but are generally puzzled and more than a little afraid of her as she doesn’t really reflect the true spirit of goth culture and obviously looks on the others in more than a little disdain. One of the kids brought an old Polaroid camera she had found in her grandmother’s house and was taking photos of the group as it goofed off in the old house, including holding a seance ritual that was inspired by a book one of the kids brought. The ritual was pure fiction and no spirit was contacted - a fact that may be brought to light once the actual book is examined by someone with Occult knowledge. But nonetheless, the activities of the youths somehow attracted the attention of the Slender Man. The Slender Man was strongly drawn to Amy and began to convert her to his proxy. During this time, Amy began to complain of headaches and nosebleeds in the middle of the night. She began to become more withdrawn and less obviously angry - a fact that her parents took as a sign that her mental state was somehow improving. She began to sketch Slender Man symbols in her notebooks. Eventually she was fully under the sway of the Slender Man and was ready to do his work. Which is kidnapping children.
