		+	This scenario, as stated in its introduction, is best for experienced investigators. This is not only for the generally higher skill percentages, but also the relatively fragile sanity that mythos-weary investigators suffer. Keeper's should be prepared to use all the tools at their disposal: mythos tomes for references, idea rolls, and insane insights. Earlier editions of '''Call of Cthulhu''' did not emphasize player possession of tome and spells quite as much as 7th edition; adapting ''The Secret of Castronegro'' to 7th edition smooths the roughness out considerably, and the inclusion of investigator divination spells (such as ''Dream Vision'') is another way to intuitively connect clues.

	This can be quite a deadly scenario. Two combats require specific weapons to win, and there is potential for random unexpected injuries through long-distance potshots and bear-traps.

 The clues to actually draw investigators to Castronegro, or highlight the Diaz family's involvement, are quite hard to get, most requiring several successful rolls each.  Keepers may prefer to waive some of these.
-It's not clear what the relevance of the cattle mutilations is.  There is only a very tenuous link to Csatronegro, which shows up in the finale if you're paying close attention.  Investigators may feel the urge to take off after Mr. Dexter to Europe, or start chasing after his cowboys.

 This could perhaps be worked up into a mini-campaign, if the early investigative stages were expanded on.  The various oddities around town offer potential to link it to other scenarios, either before or after the confrontation with Bernardo de Diaz.
