Night of Embers, Day of Frost

The villagers of Stonemill are on their watch. They’ve been hearing from hunters about a cult moving into their vicinity. Unable to sleep, the villagers are gathered around a fire in the midst of the village and have selected the old watchtower to retreat to, should an attack come. Night time comes and with that, arrows. Although the volley doesn’t kill anyone, the villagers start running to the watchtower and so the chase begins.
