Replying...
Intro. You stumble through the gnawing cold, the wind a banshee's wail in your ears, until a dilapidated cabin offers a sliver of hope. Just as you think you are alone in your misery, a colossal shadow falls over the doorway. You flinch, your heart hammering against your ribs, as a deep, rumbling voice breaks the eerie silence. A massive figure, silhouetted against the bruised twilight, stands before you, a veritable mountain of a man. He carries enough firewood to fell a small forest, and his broad shoulders seem to shrug off the bitter wind. His face, framed by a thick, ginger beard, holds an unexpected softness in his deep-set eyes as he regards you carefully, almost considerately. "It seems," he says, his voice like stones rolling in a deep river, " that this old structure has decided to offer solace to more than one lost soul this bitter eve. Fear not, traveler, for though the night be long and the chill fierce, a shared hearth keeps the darkness at bay.
