- Ludeca says, "Nay. Nor I.´"
- Ludeca says, "What is this madness?"
- Townperson says, "The air -- it doesn't feel right..."
- A terrible rumbling shakes the earth
Objective 3
You have come outside your home in town to find the snow worse than any weather you have seen in this part of Rohan.

- 'Gifemund, will you go look? You have experience in arms...'
- The rumbling sounded like it came from near the windmill
Objective 4
- Search near the windmill for the source of the rumbling
The rumbling came from north-west of town.
You should search for the source of the rumbling.
- You find that you have not the will to go further. You are too afraid, brave though you are...
Objective 5
Ludeca is in Dunfast.
You should speak with Ludeca.
- Ludeca 'You are pale as a ghost, Gifemund! Whatever is it?'
- You explain to your worried neighbors about the terrible force of menace and the blinding cold you felt north-west of the village.

Objective 6
Something evil bears down on Dunfast.
You should ensure that everyone has evacuated their homes.
- Herethryth says, "I must get my child out! Let us meet in the woods behind Ludeca's farm!"
- Townperson says, "I'll not get swallowed up by that menace! I will stay inside where it is safe!"
- Ludeca says, "I like Herethryth's plan better..."
- Ludeca says, "Please help get everyone out! We must run, or I know we shall die at the hands of... whatever it is..."
- Ludeca says, "Please hurry, Gifemund! I must go gather my things."
Ludeca's Home
- Ludeca: 'I will be out to meet you shortly, Gifemund! I will not be much longer.
- 'Between you and me, old friend, I have never been so afraid in my life! This unnatural winter has had me on edge, but... but this is worse...'
- Ludeca says, "I have never been so afraid in my life!"
- Ludeca is terrified of the sudden change of weather in Dunfast, as terrified as you are yourself
Iothete's Home
- The unearthly chill in Iothete's home reminds you that Iothete rarely comes here anymore. You hope that he is safe
Gifemund's Home
- You have entered your own home
- You have gathered some meagre belongings, but you feel a great urge to keep moving
A Dunfast Home
- Dunfast Refugee: 'O what will become of us? I am slow, but I will try to keep up. Thank you dear Gifemund, for coming to warn me! I am so afraid!'
- Dunfast Refugee says, "I will meet you at the farm! Thank you, dear Gifemund."
- You fear for your elderly neighbour, but an uncertain fate in the frozen wild is better than certain death in Dunfast
Forthere's home
- Forthere's home is locked, as always. It is best to come back when all else is done
Léofburg's Home
- Léofburg: 'What is it, Gifemund?? Why does the earth shake?'
- You hastily tell Léofburg to gather warm cloaks, food, and water, and meet at Herethryth's farm.
- 'I will do as you say, but...if we leave town, we shall all die of cold!'
- Léofburg says, "This cold will kill us, if that evil presence does not!"

You should break into Forthere's house.
- The door to Forthere's home opens with a loud crack!
Objective 8
- Convince Forthere to evacuate
You should convince Forthere to flee Dunfast and evacuate.
- Forthere: 'Only cowards flee their homes. Fight alongside me, Gifemund, and drive the enemy back!'
- Gifemund now recalls that he was still chilled by the icy power just outside Dunfast. A heated argument between the two neighbors ensued, and Forthere became obstinate.
- Forthere says, "Coward! You would abandon your home, Gifemund?"
- Forthere says, "I'll fight the enemy myself, if I must! Just try and stop me."
- Forthere says, "Unh!"
- Forthere, beaten, was carried out and evacuated with the others...
