The Snowblind Passage

A merchant caravan is stranded in a mountain pass during a blinding snowstorm. They're running low on supplies and strange howls have been heard in the white-out conditions. Rescue the merchants, fend off whatever is hunting them in the storm, and guide everyone safely through the treacherous Snowblind Passage.
