World of Winter
In reply to Narrator (msg # 1):
Hograth, the first to arrive, looks around. When he put on his pack this morning he was not really expecting to need it, but you just never knew.
He looks back specifically where the gate was, and begins to wonder if this was such a good idea. Suddenly, Northport seemed a world away. Perhaps it was. He checked his pack, sleeping mat, canteen, 9 rations, first aid kit, but no towel or warm clothes. Suddenly he was greatful for the gloves and boots. Then someone else arrived. He looked carefully at the place they came from.
