Martin Ascends Snow Lord's Peak

Pick slung over his shoulder, Martin emerges from a pit he's dug, geological samples in hand. 

This week's Snow Lord's Peak brought to you from Mount Columbia, Alberta.

'Fascinating... You realize you're sitting on a huge reserve of natural gas?'

The Snow Lord blushes, embarrassed, 'I know, I think it's either the Brussels sprouts or those yappy guys with the funny red caps. I can't give them up, they're both so nummy.'

Martin blinks repeatedly at the huge blue creature. 

The Snow Lord shifts uncomfortably, 'Anyhoo, what can I help you with?'

'Well, I'm looking for treasure. I thought I could find it on my own, but since I've had no luck I thought I'd ask you.'

'Ah, well, if you want the treasure you have to provide me with a boon. Let's see... '

He snaps his fingers, 'Okay, I got it. You seem to be a guy interested history and old stones, right? You probably like old buildings and walls too. I've been watching that great series about Troy. You know, the one about Trojans, Greeks, fickle gods n'stuff. So let's do something associated with the Iliad, now that would be a hoot.

Good luck with it Martin. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
