The Late Trapper's Lament

“You there, marines! I have a task for you. Come earn your keep, dogs.”

Your party has accepted work as marines aboard a cog called Otherworldly Obelisk. The ship has berthed in Ragnarrheim, a Viking town of New Vinland, with plans to continue to Port Zangerios, but some of the expected cargo has not arrived. The local trapper was due hours ago with a bundle of valuable ermine pelts. His tardiness is uncharacteristic. The captain orders you to locate the late trapper and, more importantly, return with the pelts, but something is amiss out in the hoary wilds of Hyperborea.
