@ThatOneGuy I'd suggest you read up a bit as already there has been a severe storm which is hitting in waves which gradually will get worse over time, 1, how did your character survive the first deadly wave of the storm? Give a bit of a read through.
@Cheshire Cat , just asking where abouts is Beacon in comparison to the surrounding frozen cities? I can do up a basic map of 'Zones' of where the most dangerous <aka cold> and more based from where Beacon is and Corks Hide aways are. feel free to edit,
The Map - This is Approx with some math.
Distance from Corks first shelter is 4 hours out- twenty kilometers.
Green Zone spans anywhere from 40 - 60 km
Yellow is more around the 80 - 100 Km
Anything above this is in the Red Zone <Light red.>
The dead zone, is the darkred essentially off the zone of what the Map Beacon has of the area.
Beacon is situated in the center Dot.
Corks first shelter is 4 hours out in a collapsed plane buried in snow <reason why its there is ambiguous, could have crashed or been dumped. But unless one was advised of what to look for, it would be hidden. >
Feel free to add to it Cheshire, at least this can give a sense of where things are etc.
