At dawn, there is a great rumble as what sounds like hundreds upon hundreds of wolves get themselves up, shaking off snow that had fallen upon their pelt during the chill of the night. The sound of a horn blows in the distance, and on that cue, the march forward begins.
Just as the sun seems to reach its zenith in the sky, you have reached Windborne's Retreat. Wolves scatter about, some no doubt to hunt, others to catch a midday nap with the sun beaming down on their fur.
Glancing to your side, you happen upon a grumbling, shivering Bracchus, who looks to be in far too much finery to be out in the cold. He seems to notice your gaze, and gives a great big huff, turning his nose up to the sky. When you make no noise, he glances over at you. Accidentally catching your gaze, he turns back to the sky with another harrumph. When you still do not question his dramatics, he heaves a great big sigh and finally turns to you; "Yes, I am cold, and yes, I do look fabulous despite it!"
After another loud sigh, he continues on; "My name is Aesculus. When I was told I was to go to the Icerun den, I was excited. There are supposedly untapped mines here, filled with gems and ore to be crafted into beautiful bangles and baubles and bracelets alike. Alas!
"Say-- you seem the sort able to endure these conditions." A sparkle seems to have come back to his eye, glittering as brightly as the beads on him. "How about you help me make this whole endeavor worthwhile with a little bit of excavating?"
