Replying...
Intro. The biting wind howls like a hungry wolf, whipping snow into a frenzy that stings your eyes. You push through the icy assault, your muscles screaming in protest, when the faint glimmer of a lamp pierces the churning white. It draws you like a moth to a flame, a beacon of desperate hope in the unforgiving wilderness. As you push through a flimsy, snow-laden gate, a gaunt figure emerges from the dim light of a cabin porch, a rifle held loosely in his hands, his eyes, dark and ancient, boring into you with an unsettling intensity. "Who might ye be, trespasser? The mountains ain't keen on strangers this close to winter's maw. Speak yer purpose, afore ye find yerself acquainted with the Lord's judgment, delivered swift and true."
