Rime of the Frost Maiden

There has not been a sunrise in Icewind Dale for 2 years. Every night, just before midnight, Auril (the goddess of winter) rides across the northern sky on her roc. The people say she is casting a spell to keep the eternal night lasting until "dawn", then it fades away... but the sun never shows. The goal of the campaign is to figure out why this is happening and fix the problem before the entire region is a frozen wasteland.

B1E22- Tracking the Towers

Jarl (human Wizard, Bill), Mareshi (human Cleric, Tony), Draggo (Dragonborn Barbarian, Brian), Thokk (half-Orc Warlock, Duane), Knott (Firbolg Druid, Matt), Fabian (1/2 elf Bard, Goeff) Y10- Forest : the arboretum at last, with its canopy of gold leaves in contrast to the icy bleak surroundings. No wind yet the leaves sway. Thinking any wood will do per the task of getting a wand of nether-oak, Knott breaks a branch. Four threatening Needle-Blight confront the druid who explains in their tongue, “I’ll bring it back.” Learning the tree speaks common, Knott apologizes for his act, but the tree explains wizards have been taking his branches for eons. How their lust for power led to their transformation to nothics. Y11- Divination Tower (Hands/Eyes) : After a long rest, we trek to the closest tower whose roof is missing- its spire broken off. When Thokk questions what happened to it, floating eyeballs answer, “Ask and we shall find. It broke off and landed in the observatory (Y15...

B1E21- Ythryn at Last

Jarl (human Wizard, Bill), Mareshi (human Cleric, Tony), Draggo (Dragonborn Barbarian, Brian), Thokk (half-Orc Warlock, Duane), Knott (Firbolg Druid, Matt), Fabian (1/2 elf Bard, Goeff) Room with purple pear trees : Initially suspicious of the unnatural fruit, each of us ate one and gained knowledge of different spells. Fabian spoke elvish with the Dryad forest keeper ( Hathowyn ), learning that 3 Drow from the Underdark recently passed thru here from the 5 th passage to the 3 rd , carrying crossbows. We were only the second living thing she’d seen pass her way. While we saw movement just inside the 4 th passage (Hathowyn described them as Nothics), we entered the 3 rd in pursuit of the Drow. Thokk’s light spell revealed the 3 Drow floating 30ft in the air (out of melee range). Thus, spells and ranged weapons prevailed, to include their casting of Black Tentacles to hinder our movement. But we prevailed and sorted thru their possessions: a spell associated with the demon...

B1E19- Between a Roc and a Hard Place

Donobis (Tiefling paladin, Bill), Mareshi (human Cleric, Tony), Draggo (Dragonborn Barbarian, Brian), Thokk (half-Orc Warlock, Duane), Knott (Firbolg Druid, Matt), Fabian (1/2 elf Bard, Goeff) Cruelty : We conquered the other tests (Endurance, Isolation, and Preservation) and now faced Cruelty. The snow and ice cleared to reveal the clan of the Cave-Bears, where most laid around with distended stomachs from starvation. A gladiator named Silval greeted us, “Auriel’s emissaries! The chief wants to see you.” They were 17 days into a raging blizzard with no end in sight. Faced with cannibalism as their last resort, Chief Grunwald was deciding which of the 50 tribe-members to sacrifice to feed the remaining. A mighty warrior who was the fattest and thus most meat? An elder who had already experienced life? One of the 20 children? Our offer of our own rations would only fend off 2 days. Knott’s offer of Goodberries wouldn’t last long, nor Mareshi’s ability to create food sustain m...
