As the evening settles in, Fizzbum ponders their recent encounter with the yetis. Reflecting on ways to better protect himself, he playfully considers shrinking himself to ride in Uptharr's backpack or blending into the snowy landscape as a boulder or shrub. Finally, he transforms into a fluffy sled dog and dozes off, dreaming of the next adventure and new creatures to discover.

Azalie's Night

Azalie spends her entire night at the great hall, moving from table to table and talking to the remaining dwarves who are still awake after 11:00 PM. The hall is quiet, with only a handful of dwarves who have stayed up late, nursing their ales and sharing stories.

She approaches the first dwarf, a burly fellow with a thick beard and tired eyes. "Excuse me," she begins, "have you noticed the sun not coming up?"

The dwarf squints at her, shaking his head. "Sun? I don't ever go outside much. Didn't even know it wasn’t coming up."

Undeterred, Azalie moves to another table where two dwarves are engaged in a low conversation. She repeats her question, and one of them nods slowly. "Aye, it’s been dimmer than usual outside. Heard some rumors that the sun isn’t shining as bright."

The second dwarf shrugs. "We’re miners. We prefer underground, so it doesn’t really bother us. Weather changes don’t matter much down here."

Azalie scribbles down their responses, moving on to the next group. "Have your animals been acting strange?" she asks a dwarf with a scar running down his cheek.

He scratches his head. "Can’t say I’ve noticed. Don’t have much to do with animals."

Her next question about monster sightings gets a more animated response. "Monsters? Aye, we’ve heard from the trading dwarves that attacks are getting worse. Raids on human settlements are increasing."

Another dwarf chimes in, "If yer heading to Caer-Konig tomorrow, watch out. We’ve heard word of Ice Trolls in the vicinity. Nasty creatures, they are."

Azalie thanks them for the information. "What’s in this food? It’s amazing!" she adds, trying to lighten the mood.

The dwarves laugh heartily. "Dwarven food is the best!" one of them declares proudly.

Satisfied with the information she’s gathered, Azalie heads to her room. She trains Mellon for a while, the bird getting distracted by thoughts of Fizz, who offered him a piece of meat that first time.

As the night deepens, Azalie feels the weight of her memories. Each passing night brings more thoughts of her master and his powerful control over the weather. Shaking off the dark memories, she decides to spend the night crafting to help her think.

In the morning, Fizzbum visits the Dwarven kitchen for breakfast, inquiring about a local alchemist shop. He also chats with Durin about camouflage techniques and checks on Peck's supplies, ensuring everything is ready for the journey.

"Morning, Durin. I was wondering, do you dwarves have any special tricks for staying camouflaged on the mountain? Those yetis sure have a knack for sneaking up on you."

Durin chuckles, taking a sip of his hot tea. "Aye, lad, those yetis are a sly bunch. We dwarves rely on blending in with the environment as best we can. Wearing whites and grays to match the snow helps a bit. But the real trick is moving slowly and quietly. Yetis can sense movement and noise from quite a distance."

Fizzbum nods, "That makes sense. I was thinking about transforming into something less noticeable, like a snowball or a boulder, but it seems like I’d still stand out."

Durin strokes his beard thoughtfully. "Well, if ye can take the form of a local creature, that might help. Something like a snowy owl or a hare would be less likely to draw attention. Of course, the best camouflage is to avoid being seen in the first place. Use the terrain to your advantage—rocks, ridges, anything that can break your outline."

Fizzbum's eyes light up. "A snowy owl! Now that’s an idea. Thanks, Durin. I’ll have to practice my transformations a bit more. Creatures that fly or swim still give me quite a bit of trouble."

Durin smiles warmly. "Glad to be of help, lad. Just remember, even the best camouflage won't save you if you're not careful. Always be on the lookout, and trust your instincts."

Fizzbum grins, feeling more prepared for the journey ahead. "Got it. I'll keep that in mind. By the way, do you know if there's an alchemist shop around here? I’d like to stock up on a few supplies before we head out."

Durin shakes his head. "I'm afraid there’s no alchemist shop in Brynströth, lad. We dwarves aren't much for alchemy, so we don’t have a place for trading those kinds of supplies. Best to stock up when we reach Caer-Konig."

Fizzbum nods, finishing his breakfast with renewed enthusiasm. "Thanks, Durin. I’ll make do with what I have for now. See you shortly."

With that, Fizzbum heads off to make his final preparations, feeling more confident and excited for the adventure to come.

Mutt, nursing a hangover from the previous night, rehydrates and eats some dried rations to settle his stomach. He asks around for a pair of goggles to shield his eyes from the snow and buys a replacement healing potion. After feeding Stout and Ipa,

Azalie stops by the potion store for some provisions and then heads straight to her friends. They are heading to Caer-Konig to help Durin investigate the strange lights.

Even though she’s smiling, inside she feels doom and dread, feeling an overwhelming need for caution. She keeps her eyes and ears focused on anything that may cause danger.

“Ok, Howlbears, let’s be adventurous and cautious. We don’t want another yeti attack. I just can’t bear to see you all hurt again.” Azalie is sensitive to others' pain, almost like she can feel it herself.

Heading out to Caer-Konig

The storm from the night before has passed, leaving the entire region blanketed in fresh, deep snow. The Howlbears set out from the safety of Brynstroth early in the morning, under a sky where the sun barely rises above the horizon, casting the landscape in a dim twilight. The air is crisp and biting, each breath creating small clouds of steam that hang in the air momentarily before dissipating.

Mutt, shouting towards Durin as they depart, "What have you heard about these strange lights?! Any rumors on what they might be?!"

Durin responds with a thoughtful nod. "Not much beyond what I've told you already, Mutt. Just strange, ethereal lights appearing at night, causing unease among the townsfolk. Some say it's magic, others think it might be something more sinister. That's what we need to find out."

As they descend from Kelvin’s Cairn, the path becomes steeper and more treacherous, with patches of ice hidden beneath the fresh snow. The party’s Axe Beaks navigate the terrain with sure-footed grace, while Mutt’s sled dogs pull the sled steadily behind. The landscape is a breathtaking yet harsh tableau of white, with the occasional rocky outcrop breaking the monotony. The snow-covered foothills spread out before them, a pristine but deadly expanse. The silence is almost palpable, broken only by the crunch of snow underfoot and the occasional gust of wind that sends a flurry of snowflakes swirling through the air.

As they make their way through the foothills, the party notices subtle changes in the environment. The trees become sparser, their branches heavy with frost. Animal tracks crisscross the snow, some fresh and others almost buried by the windblown drifts. The path ahead narrows, flanked by tall, jagged rocks that create a natural corridor through the snow.

Up ahead, Durin stops abruptly, raising a hand to signal the party to halt. "Hold on," he says, peering intently at something on the ground. "There’s something not right here."

The party dismounts and gathers around, observing the area Durin pointed out. The snow is disturbed, not by the natural movement of animals, but by something larger and more deliberate. Deep gouges and claw marks are etched into the frozen ground, and there are patches where the snow has been brushed aside, revealing bare, icy earth.

Azalie, ever cautious, steps forward and examines the tracks. "These marks," she says, "they’re not natural. Something large, with claws. And look here," she points to a broken branch hanging low, "this was snapped recently. We need to be on guard."

Fizzbum looks around, his ears twitching. "I’ve got a bad feeling about this," he mutters. "Feels like an ambush waiting to happen."

Uptharr, always the protector, readies his weapon. "Whatever it is, we’re ready for it."

As the party debates their next move, they notice more signs that heighten their suspicions. Small piles of snow that look unnaturally disturbed, like something was dragged through it. The sound of ice cracking underfoot, too regular and deliberate to be just the shifting of natural ice.

The Ice Troll

Suddenly, with a roar that shakes the ground, an Ice Troll emerges from behind a rocky outcrop, hurling a massive chunk of ice towards Mutt. The projectile hurtles through the air, aiming directly for him. Mutt's eyes widen in surprise as the deadly ice chunk bears down on him.

Mutt - Make a DEX Save Throw, DC 13 to avoid the incoming chunk of ice.

Party - Roll for initiative.

Uptharr's Turn:

Move: Moving from T40 L40 to T55 L35.

Save Throw: SAVE THROW 2 VS. DC: 10 = Failure

Jun 25

•

...Azalie stabs her dagger and arrow deep into the troll. Her arrow stays deeply imbedded, Azalie tries pulling it out. After a few tugs she just gives up and wraps her hand around her dagger. Stabbing the beast over and over, spit flying from her gritted teeth.

"Just die, cough, cough, just die." her voice tapering off as she looks up from the stabbing to see her friends looking at her. She's scared they are judging her and hoping they cry out in approval.

Jun 13

“Oh my God, not again.” Azalie hates when her gut is right.

Replying to

Azalie watches her arrow sing through the air. "DORF, he's about to have disadvantage. Have some fun." Azalie winks at the halfling, seeing his grin widen.
