Stranger Danger

In a deserted village there lies a great mistery, join me as I seeks to solve the riddle of Wintertide armed with a sack of 100% pure, uncut derp and a piece of paper with the word 'wits' written on it (it will have to do until some real wits can be found). Can I follow the hidden diary pages to the sorce of the conundrum or will the mysterious 'strangers' stop me before I learn too much?
