The echoes of the feasting songs are fading, but winter still has many cold months in store. In the highlands villages, winter's bite is most cruel. Still, legend has it that even the most desperate can find mercy at the wagoner's table.

tribute wagons they used to collect delicacies from outlying areas of their dominion.
You can use it for that, or you can just take this as the holiday-themed fantasy encounter that it is—a benevolent soul in a dangerous landscape provides for the destitute as best he can.
This adventure also marks a personal milestone:

five years of publishing an illustrated adventure nearly every month. It's nice to do that on an up note.

I am so going to use this in my next adventure!! Very Christmas flavored. I think the evil Redcap goblins have taken over the Wagon and kidnapped Astin!! The only people close enough to react are the PCs. Of course . . .
