[Well, here's a fresh face. Sally Acorn is stuck in Knothole--in a sense. The snow had come down overnight, leaving a blanket of white over the entire village.

Fang glances around. No hedgehog? Perfect. And this Sally seems pretty clueless; handy tidbit there.]
Had a run in with a couple of 'bots. Nasty buggers. I'm sure you know all about them.

Glad you were able to make it back here safe, stranger. You've made it to Knothole. I'm Sally.
