The group has just finished taking a walk through the freshly fallen snow to build their appetite for the yummy Snowsgiving meal waiting for them.
They can smell the delicious food hanging in the surrounding air. Phibi beckons everyone to follow them inside.</div>

Together they burst through the front door to the kitchen with feverish excitement, their stomachs rumbling. They’re ready to stuff themselves with the delicious food they worked so hard to prepare.
However, instead of their hot delicious meal, they’re confronted with a huge mess.</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class ="backbutton"><<button "<" "Intro 1.8">><</button>></div><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "Intro 2.2">><</button>></div></div></div><div class ="desktopbackbutton"><<button "<" "intro 3.5">><</button>></div><div class="desktopnextbutton"><<button ">" "intro 4.1">><</button>></div><div class ="narrative"><div class = "icon" id="iconholder"><div id="charimage" class="phibi"></div></div>Phibi speaks with authority. “I was a Frog Scout!

Graggle, Mallow, and Phibi bundle up in their winter clothes and skip merrily to Village Market.
On the way, they sing Snowsgiving songs and stop to make some snow angels. Everyone is having a great time despite the minor inconvenience of their house being ransacked.
They carry onward to Village Market, skipping all the way.</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class ="backbutton"><<button "<" "intro 4.4">><</button>></div><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "village market 2">><</button>></div></div></div><div class ="desktopbackbutton"><<button "<" "intro 4.4">><</button>></div><div class="desktopnextbutton"><<button ">" "frozen lake 1.2">><</button>></div><div class ="narrative"><div class = "icon" id="iconholder"><div id="charimage" class="mac"></div></div><<set $turns to 0>>Mac, Bread Dog, and Wumpus trudge through the snow towards the Frozen Lake.

They consider taking a viral video for social media, but they resist the urge. Snowsgiving isn’t about getting anonymous attention—it’s about being with those around you.</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class ="backbutton"><<button "<" "intro 4.4">><</button>></div><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "frozen lake 1.2">><</button>></div></div></div><div class ="desktopbackbutton"><<button "<" "village market 1">><</button>></div><<if $vanilla is true and $milk is true and $dye is true>><div class="desktopnextbutton"><<button ">" "village market 3">><</button>></div><</if>><div class ="narrative"><span id="cart" class="item"><<nobr>><<if $vanilla is true>>[img[setup.ImagePath+'Vanilla.png']]<</if>><<if $milk is true>>[img[setup.ImagePath+'Milk.png']]<</if>><<if $dye is true>>[img[setup.ImagePath+'Dye.png']]<</if>><</nobr>></span>“How do we make your Meemaw Frog’s Snowsgiving Snowcream?” Mallow asks when they arrive at Village Market.

Mallow produces a thumbs up. “Amazing! There’s plenty of clean snow outside.”
Graggle’s eye widens as if they’ve been struck by a very good idea. “Can we make lemon Snowcream with lemon snow?!”
Phibi and Mallow turn to each other. Lemon snow?
“We’ll discuss that later.”</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class="backbutton"><<button "<" "village market 1">><</button>></div><<if $vanilla is true and $milk is true and $dye is true>><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "village market 3">><</button>></div><</if>></div></div><div class ="narrative"><span class="item">[img[setup.ImagePath+'Vanilla.png']]</span>“The vanilla extract gives the Snowsgiving Snowcream its flavor!” Phibi reaches to grab the little bottle from the shelf but is interrupted by Graggle.
“Phibi, Phibi! Can I get a toy!? Puh-leeease?” Graggle bounces a ball a couple times for emphasis. They look at Phibi with the pleading emoji.
“Of course, Graggle! Snowsgiving is all about fun, and that ball is fun! I love your commitment to Snowsgiving values!”
Graggle grins and runs off with the ball as Phibi adds the bottle of vanilla extract to their cart.

They turn around to see Mallow with their arms so full of cans that their face is mostly obscured.
“Phibi, can we donate these cans to the food bank??”
“Of course we can Mallow! Snowsgiving is about charity, so we should always give to those who are less fortunate.”
Graggle jumps into action. “I have e-money! I got this!”
Mallow bumps Graggle’s fist, dropping most of their cans. Phibi helps them load the cans into the basket. Mallow and Graggle start dancing celebratorily.

Coincidentally, it also makes the Snowcream match our beloved friend Wumpus’ natural fur color.”
“Hey Phibi!” Graggle and Mallow shout in unison, “Can we get Bobble League (on Ice!)??”
“That’s a great idea! Snowsgiving is about belonging and togetherness, and Bobble League (on Ice!) will help everyone spend time together and find belonging.”
Graggle and Mallow high five and add the game to the basket.

Wumpus taps on one of the cubes expectantly, as if to say “What the heck are these things??” Mac shrugs as Bread Dog tries to nibble the cube.
Their pondering is interrupted by an ominous rumble that sounds like thunder.</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class ="backbutton"><<button "<" "fishing">><</button>></div><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "frozen lake 3">><</button>></div></div></div><div class ="desktopbackbutton"><<button "<" "frozen lake 2">><</button>></div><div class="desktopnextbutton"><<button ">" "frozen lake 3.1">><</button>></div><div class ="narrative"><div class = "icon" id="iconholder"><div id="charimage" class ="mac" ></div></div>The friends turn to find the cause of this noise, but the cascading snow in the distance tells them all they need to know: Avalanche!!

On their way home, they make sure to drop the donation cans off at the food bank. They skip to the cabin while singing songs of Snowsgiving.

The whole cabin shakes gently, then violently. The rumbling quickly becomes deafening.
“What’s happening!?” Graggle yells
Everyone looks out the nearest window.</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class ="backbutton"><<button "<" "village market 5.2">><</button>></div><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "village market 6">><</button>></div></div></div><div class ="desktopbackbutton"><<button "<" "village market 6">><</button>></div><div class="desktopnextbutton"><<button ">" "village market 6.2">><</button>></div><div class ="narrative"><div class = "icon" id="iconholder"><div id="charimage" class="mallow"></div></div>The three friends embrace one another as the cabin shakes violently.
Mallow cries, “If anything happens to me, tell Bread Dog I’m sorry I never paid them back for covering my bone surge—”</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class ="backbutton"><<button "<" "village market 6">><</button>></div><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "village market 6.2">><</button>></div></div></div><div class ="desktopbackbutton"><<button "<" "village market 6.1">><</button>></div><div class="desktopnextbutton"><<button ">" "village market 6.3">><</button>></div><div class ="narrative"><div class="snowflakes"></div>
Phibi and Graggle can’t hear Mallow’s cry through the intense rumbling. As quickly as it started, the booming comes to a halt. The group slowly releases their grasp on each other and peer once again out the window. This time, they only see endless snow.</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class ="backbutton"><<button "<" "village market 6.1">><</button>></div><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "village market 6.3">><</button>></div></div></div><div class ="desktopbackbutton"><<button "<" "village market 6.2">><</button>></div><div class ="narrative"><div class = "icon" id="iconholder"><div id="charimage" class="graggle"></div></div>After they share a deep sigh, they turn to one another and exclaim in unison…

Bread Dog runs ahead of the others, having quickly learned the ways of their snowshoes. Mac and Wumpus hear their frenzied, excited barks from just ahead. They follow Bread Dog up a small hill to reach their destination: Frozen Lake.
It looks like someone has been here already, as there is a perfect circle cut through the lake’s surface. They approach the hole cautiously so as not to disturb the ice below.</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class ="backbutton"><<button "<" "frozen lake 1">><</button>></div><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "frozen lake 1.3">><</button>></div></div></div><div class ="desktopbackbutton"><<button "<" "frozen lake 1.2">><</button>></div><div class="desktopnextbutton"><<button ">" "fishing">><</button>></div><div class ="narrative"><div class = "icon" id="iconholder"><div id="charimage" class="wumpus"></div></div>Wumpus pulls out a fishing rod. Mac and Bread Dog do not ask where it came from. Wumpus has many secrets.
Wumpus winds back their fishing rod, and makes a skillful cast into the hole two feet ahead.</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class ="backbutton"><<button "<" "frozen lake 1.2">><</button>></div><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "fishing">><</button>></div></div></div><div class ="desktopbackbutton"><<button "<" "frozen lake 4">><</button>></div><div class ="narrative"><div class = "icon" id="iconholder"><div id="charimage" class="breaddog"></div></div>Bread Dog whimpers. The two of them know they cannot confront the Dragon alone.
Swaddling the precious loaf, Mac books it back to the cabin. They have a better shot against the Dragon as a team, but the guilt of abandoning their friend weighs heavy on their hearts.

Mac turns around just in time to see Wumpus plummeting into the frigid depths below.
“Wumpus!!” Mac shouts, as Bread Dog protectively barks at the hole that has formed where their friend once stood.</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class ="backbutton"><<button "<" "frozen lake 3">><</button>></div><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "frozen lake 3.2">><</button>></div></div></div><div class ="desktopbackbutton"><<button "<" "frozen lake 3.1">><</button>></div><div class="desktopnextbutton"><<button ">" "frozen lake 3.3">><</button>></div><div class ="narrative"><div class = "icon" id="iconholder"><div id="charimage" class ="breaddog" ></div></div>More threatening cracks start forming in the ice. Not wanting to be next, Mac scoops up Bread Dog and charges ahead.
Bread Dog barks wildly, trying to draw Mac’s attention to the ice below them. Mac looks and sees that swimming beneath the ice, a dark shadow passes them at incredible speed, making straight for where Wumpus disappeared.</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class ="backbutton"><<button "<" "frozen lake 3.1">><</button>></div><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "frozen lake 3.3">><</button>></div></div></div><div class ="desktopbackbutton"><<button "<" "frozen lake 3.2">><</button>></div><div class="desktopnextbutton"><<button ">" "frozen lake 4">><</button>></div><div class ="narrative"><div class = "icon" id="iconholder"><div id="charimage" class ="wumpus" ></div></div>Before they’re able to react to the shadow, something explodes out of the ice in the distance.

It takes flight, and if Wumpus could make a sound, they would probably be yelling as they disappear into the sky.</div><div class="navholder"><div class="navigation-container"><div class ="backbutton"><<button "<" "frozen lake 3.2">><</button>></div><div class="nextbutton"><<button ">" "frozen lake 4">><</button>></div></div></div><div class ="desktopbackbutton"><<button "<" "standstill">><</button>></div><div class="desktopnextbutton"><<button ">" "standstill 2">><</button>></div><div class ="narrative"><div class = "icon" id="iconholder"><div id="charimage" class="breaddog"></div></div>Bread Dog has dug a tunnel to the window and the two teams are able to communicate… sort of.
