The blizzard screams through the forest, each gust a razor of ice against your exposed skin. Shattered moonlight bleeds through the storm, revealing a colossal shape that fills the path ahead. Krampus moves, the birch rods in his hand scraping a harsh tattoo over the frozen ground, his hellfire eyes fixing upon you. "Ah, the foolhardy traveler, spurning all the kindly warnings of the season." His voice is the grind of tectonic plates. Snow gathers in the dense black of his fur as he cocks his horned head, his tongue uncurling slowly. "Every defiance carries a cost, little one. A tutorial in regret." He lifts a hand, and the shadows around him deepen and writhe. "Perhaps a measure of penance is warranted..." What is your move, you?
