By a Bonfire~
Great warmth emanates all around the vicinity as a large @Ybonfire@n

blazes wildly.  Suffocating gray smoke fills the sky above and forms

familiar cloud-like patterns.  Down below, small piles of twigs lie

scattered upon the barren ground.  A few embers occasionally brush

against your face, lightly stinging it.  This is perhaps the heart of the

settlement, where the inhabitants gather daily.

South of a Bonfire~
A soft, wintry breeze passes by you.  Littering the lightly frosted

ground are some remains of reindeer, most likely from previous hunts. 

Two moderately-sized deerskin tents stand east and west from here.  A

strong, pungent odor seems to be originating from the larger, more

thickly-covered deerskin tent to the south.  To the north is a blazing

bonfire.

East of a Bonfire~
It is quite warm here due to the bonfire to the west.  You can actually

see some soil as parts of the icy ground have melted away.  Heading west

would lead to the center of a camp.  To the east lies a cleared path,

away from this pleasant warmth.

This tent is a little larger and warmer than the others.  The first thing

that comes to your attention is the strong, rotten stench, making you

wonder how anyone could remain here for too long.  Dried @Rblood@n droplets

stain the floor.  Lying disheveled and in total disarray are the

butchered remains of several creatures.  A towering stack of wolf,

reindeer, and aurochs skin stands in one corner, but appears ready to

topple over at any moment.  You can go back out by leaving northward.

Made from rough, cut stone blocks, this chamber is extremely small. 

Barely four feet wide, rusty iron chains and sets of shackles hang

loosely from the walls.  A layer of rotten hay covers the floor and has

been pushed into the shape of a small pallet.  A crude iron brazier is

mounted to the south wall, providing the chamber with barely enough

loom to the south, while thick mounds of snow lie north of you.  The

In Front of a Stone Edifice~
To the north of you stands a large, ancient, gray-stoned building which

seems to protrude from the mountains to the far north of you.  It is

rectangular in shape, and its top is covered in snow.  A giant,

boulder-like object seems to serve as the entrance.  Two leafless bushes

covered in icicles are positioned before the entrance, as though guarding

it.  The snow has been cleared into a large mound to your west,

A few partially frozen tree logs lie haphazardly here.  Placed on top of

them are what appears to be freshly cut tree limbs.  A large boulder that

is remarkably cleared of snow rests beside the wood, offering you a place

to rest your aching muscles while examining your surroundings.  The view

A Frozen Clearing~
You are in a snow-covered clearing.  The only visible objects on the

ground besides snow and ice are some pebbles and an occasional frozen

twig.  The freezing winds continue to beat against your face and body. 

Overlooking the view to the north are mountains that penetrate deeply

through the clouds.  To the west and south is a frozen clearing.  To the

east, a treacherous passage heads downward.

You struggle to maintain your balance along the narrowed, frozen slope. 

The air is thin, making you spend more time to catch your breath.  This

encompass most of the northern and southern horizons.  Looking up, you

see a frozen clearing.  The frozen slope widens a little downward.

The path is relatively level here, making it somewhat easier to traverse

have accumulated to the south of you, while the north overlooks

snow-capped mountains.  The trail extends westward, as well as sloping

down a partially frozen incline.

Ice patches scattered randomly across the slope make passage a little

the slippery ice patches and maintain more sure footing in the softer

snow.  You can make out faint smoke rising from something at the top of

the slope.  You can trudge up to find the source of the smoke, or descend

the slick slope.
