Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo

It was nearly 100 years ago.

I was but a lone trapper then and would

spend my winters on Manitou Island, where

small game were plentiful.

I'd heard the legend of the Wendigo,

but a man's ignorance of things unseen is never questioned.

Legend became life when I came face to face

with the monstrous snow beast.

It was a fierce battle that rocked the world.

But through some grace of God, I was victorious,

and my life would never again be the same.

The moment I defeated the beast, I

realized I must protect the world

from this evil monstrosity's resurrection.

Knowing the legend, I marked this spot, this sacred ground,

with the skulls of all the previous victims

of the Wendigo, creating a spiritual shield

to protect the world.

However, if the circle was ever broken, the Wendigo

would be reborn once again, more powerful than ever.

And now it is here, in this circle, that I've remained.

For be it a blessing, be it a curse, I am the chosen one.

I am the Guardian.

I'll drink to that.

Here's to the three-breasted women of good old Tibitan.

And now, my good old friend, let's

make a toast to ourselves.

Another round, please.

Thank you.

This one's mine.

To my good friend, Larry,

whose dad's name was Barry.

It's so damn scary.

His mom was so hairy.

But I got to thank him for bringing me out early.

Shooting them signs.

Little squirrelies. And I figure if we keep drinkin', we're

going to end up...

Drunk!

I'm itchin' to blast something.

I was hopin' I'd run out of booze.

What?

Keep out?

Private?

There isn't any private property on this island

while we're here.

Ready?

Aim.

Fire.

Woo-oo-oo.

Oh, look, a fence.

I guess we're gonna have to turn back.

Private property?

There's your private property.

Let's see if anyone's home.

What?

Something illegal's going on here.

Holy cow!

It's murder, mass murder.

Look at all them skulls.

Where you going?

I'm going inside.

Man, let's just get the hell outta here.

You leave my land.

I'm not about to let some old bum

tell me where I can't hunt.

Respect is an attribute, my friend, one you should learn.

Respect?

I think you need to learn to respect

the man with the high-powered weapon in his hand.

Hey, man, let's just leave him alone.

Leave me alone.

I shall ask you once again to leave my land.

You've never seen one of these babies in action, old man.

You think you might want a demonstration?

You have no idea what you may be the cause of.

Let's just get out of here, okay?

Shut up, or I'll blow your head off.

Please go.

No!

The circle...

has...

been broken.

The wind...

It...

whispers.

Tell me.

The wind whispers.

Wendigo.

Wendigo.

Now what are we going to do?

Gotta get rid of him.

What do you mean?

Ah!

What the hell?

Ah!

What's going on?

What the...

Whoa!

Dave!

The circle has been broken.

You are the chosen one.

You must complete the circle.

I'm out.

You're out.

Pay up, you saps.

What do you mean, you're out?

Pete, talk to our man here about your low interest loans.

What's the matter, pard?

You got a bad set of cards?

Are you outta cash?

Well, I...

Pete's Pawns can do you a deal.

Yeah, ride 'em, Hoss.

You got something to trade?

You got something to sell?

Or do you just need a loan?

Well, come on down to Pete's Pawns.

Our interest rates are famously low city-wide.

And we ain't just city-wide.

Hell, county-wide, and we ain't never,

never turned down a deal.

Now, how much you need?

Uh, five bucks.

Five bucks.

Five.

Very good, son.

Always glad to do business with a fine, upstanding

citizen like yourself.

What did I do?

I didn't mean it.

I swear to God, I didn't mean it.

I'll tell them it was an accident.

That's it.

No, wait a minute.

I'll tell them Dave shot the old dude.

No, no.

Dave's in enough trouble already.

First things first.

Big monster.

Giant monster.

Got to get off the island.

Got to round everybody up and get off the island.

That's it.

Get off the island.

I warned you suckers, let a dead man die.

I got to get out.

God.

Oh, holy smoke.

What a flight.

What a flight.

I felt like I was in a bag and they put me in a bag...

Here, here.

Chug it.

Oh!

You know, if you've ever been to Albany, New York.

If you've ever flown in there...

Hey, where's this new guy?

Oh, I forgot.

Oh, God.

What?

Is there a problem?

Black man can't hunt?

We didn't mean nothing.

I know, us brother's don't like the cold, right?

Well, I got some news for you,

don't ask to see my frostbite.

Hey, I get it.

I get it.

I know where I'm not wanted.

Oh, come on.

No, I ain't staying.

Come on.

Come on, Leo, they didn't mean anything.

Come on.

Leo.

We didn't mean anything.

No offense.

We didn't even know Tony was bringing anybody, right?

No, no.

See, this has kind of been like our own secret little circle

for the last five years.

No offense meant.

My name's Pete.

Leo Phillips.

You can call me Leo.

Jerry.

Lee.

This is Brick Branding in downtown Tecumseh.

And at the top of our news, there's a winter storm,

which has still not let up.

All throughout the state,

the rampages of the storm are being felt.

Over 100 schools have been forced to close down,

but the hardest hit is the Upper Peninsula.

Not like the ones in '66.

Well.

What have we got here?

I need to get to the island.

First thing in the morning.
