A Warm Heart and a Tombstone is the twelfth episode of season 16, Neverafter.
Intro[]
"Last we left off, our Intrepid Heroes were heading off under the light of the gibbous moon, the snow of the tundra reflecting in radiant splendour, as if in midday in the middle of the night, journeying towards the encampment of Snow White. You had come from the City of Chimneys, having met The Big Bad Wolf, having spoken and learned the secrets of this being of death, this eternal force within the lands of the Neverafter, and you also uncovered a huge host of correspondence within the desk of the Baron of Bricks, the third little pig, detailing the Council of Kings and the machinations of war, the Mer-King searching frantically for his daughter. You learned that she'd been spotted at a place that Pinocchio recognised from Toy Island. You communed withThe Gander and learned some secrets about The Goose Itself, The Big Bad Wolf seeming to think there were some answers, and The Wolf told you, if you were searching for allies, he alone, perhaps, could track the house of the Baba Yaga.
However, upon arriving at the tavern, you met a bunch of companions. You moved tables together and you split a series of apps with Arzt, Mürrisch, and Schläfrig. [...] Anyway, so that's what happened last time [...] here within the Neverafter! You were journeying with these dwarves who have a chest containing the death of the knight Koschei, who will fight come the morrow on the side of the Tsar of Snowhold. However, you took a chance, revealing yourselves, and showed yourself to be a princess, and the dwarves agreed to take you to their princess, Snow White, who they said had been searching for you. You took off, trusting The Big Bad Wolf to find you to bring you to the hut of Baba Yaga.
[...] Travelling long through the night, stars glittering overhead, you eventually come to a tall ridge crowned by tall evergreen trees, under the wind that blows pretty constantly here in this frozen place. Moving up and over the twisting path, you look down and see, nestled in a partially-surrounded-by-woods clearing, dozens and dozens of tents with banners flapping in the wind, and all of the lights killed on them."
