Lost in the Snow (Too far from Home)

“Did I ever tell you of the time I got lost scarce a league from my house? When winter sets in and the snows deepen in these mountain passes and forest paths ‘round the Thrivinwood, it can be hard to see yer hand afore yer face. Well, come on in then and warm yerself by this here fire. Just leave those wet boots by the door. I ain’t got a spell powerful enough to get out soggy stains from my new rug…” -Erbsto Bedherwyc, writing his spell-poem “A Frosty Epistle to a Winter’s Guest”
