Rime of the Frost Maiden pt2

Eldon speaks with Keagan’s dog who said his master is in peril. We leave first thing in the morning heading to Kelvins Cairn.

We arrive and find and overturn sled with five dogs still attached and howling. Eldon approaches them and starts a conversation with the animals. I must admit it never gets old seeing him speak with animals.

We make our way up the mountain cautiously and we decided to tie ourselves off together so that if one would fall we would all fall. No one knew how it started but we had an avalanche on our hand. We all made a mad scramble to the ridge to avoid the incoming snow. Some chose to cut the rope and make a mad dash to the opposite side of the ridge. In the end we survived the avalanche and it took some time for us to dig ourselves out but we were no worse for wear.

We continue on and and found Gareth face down in the snow, two Crag cats were circling around him preparing to eat him. I rush to place myself between Gareth and the cats to offer him aid. The others join me to render assistance. We manged to take one cat down, and I move to assist Korbis which earned me a flesh wound from the cat’s swipe. While we continue to battle it another cat appeared, a few minute later all of the cats were slain.

We speak with Gareth and he tells us we need to rescue the other travelers. We continue to travel up the mountain and come to a cave. As we approached the cave we can see old blood stains. We enter to the cave and begin our investigation.

We come across a yeti and her cub. The cub was playing with the halfling as if she was some sort of rag doll. Yurgin manages to distract the mother while Korbis snatches the hafling and runs away. The mother does not purse and instead keeps her focus on her cub. we exit the cave and exhale a sigh or relief which was short lived. We are greeted by the male yeti returning from a fresh kill.

With such speed the yeti was upon us. Before I could react it pounded me with such force and I lost consciousness. I have no idea what happened in the battle with the creature.

I awaken to see the party surrounding the yeti and before I can do anything they slew the beast. We rested a few minutes and then continue to travel up the mountain. There we found the tiefling who froze to death. We looted her body and she was a mage. It always hurts to see a fellow practitioner meet their demise. We recovered her spell book which I plan to study, the bard made it known numerous times he would like to review it as well.

When we return to Thenium Pannika Greysteel she thinks she has a lead on the weather in rime. She wants us to seek out the elementals and perhaps they can give us a clue on how to get a respite from the cold.

The unyielding cold is harsh in this land!
