while staying at The Dancing Frog, a traveler recounts the harrowing story of a storm that almost took her life. many years ago she was making the trek from Port Steremer to Myrkfel. everything started off the same as any other journey in the snowy season. the weather was fine if a little cold. the paths near Port Steremer were well-maintained and easy to traverse. the woods provided some cover as the snow came down harder. she rested a bit near the pond there. merchants had little shops set up there year round. as she made her way out of the woods the storm really picked up. the whiteout conditions got worse until she couldn't see where she was going. she kept telling herself 'just one more mile.' she got colder and colder until eventually she could no longer continue. she resigned herself to this fate and was lulled into a cold slumber.

miraculously, she awoke the next morning in a warm tent. she learned that a group of people happened upon her as she was being buried in snow. they had dug her out, got her into dry clothes, and tucked her into bed. the next day was bright and sunny. snow fell off the trees as it melted. she accompanied her rescuers to their destination - The Dancing Frog. they spent the evening dancing, telling stories, and playing tavern games. the next day they went their separate ways.

each snowy season the traveler spends a few nights at The Dancing Frog telling the story. she always hopes to reconnect with the people who saved her. maybe one day she will.
