Story:

Back at Nimseys in Lonelywood the party could finally catch some breaths, exhausted and cold and finally take a deserved long rest. The next morning moods were grim. The party had lost Chonk, Berus axebeak, to the Coldlight Walkers. Trying to help sooth the characters woes, Nimsey offered her best halfling hospitality, but to little awail.
She told them of Jarlmoot, an ancient ritual ground of Frostgiants, who ruled this land a long time ago. Some manner of test and insight might be acquired there, aswell as an old relic hidden there. She also was able to tell them a little more about Oyaminartok, the werebear goliath and her clan, going around the dale and helping those in need. Surely, if anyone, she knows how to help them. After collecting themselves and deciding their next steps, the party set on going north, to Kelvin's Cairn and try to save Osrics old party members and their survival guide, before cutting east and checking in with Aerlyns father, to settle some long standing worries she's been harboring.
The Icewind-Kobold were given the deed to the Ramshakle Inn to make their new home and keep it for the charakters.
Quest: Mountain Climb
Osric and his party, Mokingo Growling Bear Akannathi (male goliath warrior), Perilou Fishfinger(female halfling cleric) and Astrix (female tiefling wizard), hired the help of Garret Velryn, a survialist and moutain guide, but were ambushed by a yeti in a snowstorm
The characters managed to get a badly hurt Garret and deeply exhausted Perilou down from the mountain and to their save encampment. Sadly Mokingo was already half eaten and his head mounted like a trophy among others. Astrix in her panik fled UP the mountain, instead of down and froze to her death. On the mountains peak they found her, kneeling frozen in front of a long extinguished fire, next to another corpse, that of a once very popular dwarven daredevil with blue boots.
Auril in her Frostmaiden form greeted the party, frozen in shock. She beckonned to the lands below and its pristine beauty. It seems that, for now, she's more interessted in what these "heroes" would do next, than anything else and expressed once more her lamenting Skalli's growing effort to evade her. She gidted them with advice before parting:
"Exist as long as you can, by whatever means you can. Only by enduring can you outlast your enemies." "Your compassion makes you vulnerable. Let cruelty be the knife that keeps your enemies at bay."

By the Frostmaidens grace the party has reached 5th Level!

Story:

The Party has made their way to Termalaine and met with Speaker Oarus Masthew, who briefed them on the kobold situation of the mines. None of the miners has been hurt or seriously injured, merely been scared of. One casualty had appearantly fallen down the mines shaft into the underdark, but before the kobold had arrived there. Now many of the former miners have sought other work around ten-towns, mainly trying their luck on Maer Dualdon as fishers. Furthermore the town militia refused to aid or head his commands. He suspects influence from Targos on this matter, but has no proof on the matter, only a feeling of unease. He hopes solving the mines issues will bring trade and wealth back to Termalaine, strenghtening his position as speaker.
In the beautiful Mine, the charakters have met with Trex and hisicewind kobolds,
who sought refuge in the mine after being chased out of the foothills of Kelvin’s Cairn by a yeti. The miners got scared and ran off before Trex could explain that the kobolds meant no harm.
Trex himself was possesed by the ghost of a scholar named Janth, who was studying the local flora in icewind dale. The kobolds happened upon the ghost while searching for shelter during a blizzard, allowing it to possess Trex without the other kobolds’ knowledge.
Bound to his threadbare satchel, Janth's plan was to use the kobolds to lead him to one of the ten-towns, where he could posses someone more fitting and, preferably, more influential.
The Party has aided the kobolds in slaying a grell, that was inhabiting the mines and thankfully managed to lay janths ghost to rest. Unfortunately not before Elric was hit by the ghosts horryfying gaze ability and aging 20 years...
Oarus was initially hesitant to let the kobolds stay in the town. After hearing about their willingness to work, he decided to give them a chance and offerd them menial jobs. The kobolds, eager to prove themselves, turned out to be good workers. The townsfolk teased them at first, but eventually the kobolds won them over. Trex at this point had reverted to his skittish, much less intelligent self.

The party has reached 3rd Level, after completing their first mayor task: A beautiful Mine

Story:

The party has braved the Lonelywood and vanquished a Banshee, the spectral remnant of a female elf warrior who was banished from her ancestral tombs for a selfish, evil act. After a short rest under the cover of trees, they've chatted with an awakened fox and hare about Ravisins, the druid who keeps awakening beasts to terrorize the townsfolk and learned to location of the Elven Tomb.
At the Elven Tomb, the charakters have found and slain the White Moose and soon after awoke Sahnar, a moon elf mummy and guardian of the tomb, who helped them navigate the moon dial via a Moonbeam spell. which opens the various chambers of the facility.
Full Moon Inscription. “Gaze upon your own face and have seven questions answered.”
Half-Moon Inscription. “Unlock the tombs of the half moon.”
Inside, they have fought and killed Ravisins the frost druid. Her last word, “You have gained nothing this day. Queen Geluvicken’s work continues and the Frostmaiden’s fury shall not abate until all of Ten-Towns is buried under ice and snow!” leaving the charakters with a warning for what is to come.

Starting the Adventure:

The players have come to Bryn Shander at the behest of Speaker Duvessa Shane and the Council of Speakers to aid Ten-Towns. Shortly after arriving, the party has encountered a wounded Crag Cat, that has made its way into town in desperation for pray and begun eating away at a frozen-to-death fishermans corpse and bounty. The party managed to dispatch the beast non-lethally and released it into the wilderness.
Sherrif Markham Southwell, alerted by the fleeing bystanders, has commended the party for their quick and sensible judgement and initiative and offered to accompany them to the town hall meeting.

Quests:

Main-Story Quest: Cold-Hearted Killer
A serial killer has descended upon the Ten-Towns. They have slain three prominent figures in three separate towns: Bryn Shander, Easthaven, and Targos. They leave a distinctive calling card in their victim’s chests: a knife, made entirely out of black ice. With the Ten-Towns divided by the stress of the Rime, concerned officials stand little chance of stopping the killer in time before they claim their next victim.
Hlin Trollbane, a retired veteran and bounty-hunter, has taken it upon herself to investigate the recent murders because no one else—not even the Council of Speakers—can be bothered. She has asked the party to help her take down her only suspect: a man named Sephek Kaltro.
“Sephek Kaltro works for a small traveling merchant company called Torg’s, owned and operated by a shady dwarf named Torrga Icevein. In other words, Sephek gets around. He’s charming. Makes friends easily. He’s also Torrga’s bodyguard, so I’m guessing he’s good with a blade."
“His victims come from the only three towns that sacrifice people to the Frostmaiden on nights of the new moon. This is what passes for civilized behavior in Icewind Dale. Maybe the victims found a way to keep their names out of the drawings and Sephek found out they were cheating, so he killed them. Maybe, just maybe, Sephek is doing the Frostmaiden’s work."
“I followed Torg’s for a tenday as it moved from town to town. Quite the devious little enterprise, but that’s not my concern. What struck me is how comfortable Sephek Kaltro looked in this weather. No coat, no scarf, no gloves. It was like the cold couldn’t touch him. Kiss of the Frostmaiden, indeed."
“I will pay you a hundred gold pieces to apprehend Sephek Kaltro, ascertain his guilt, and deal with him, preferably without involving the authorities. When the job is done, return to me to collect your money.”
Reward: 100gp

Sidequests:

Foaming Mugs. Three frostbitten shield dwarves approached the characters in the snow-covered street, Hruna, Korux and Storn. They were due for an iron shipment for their forge, the "Blackiron Blades", but on their way from Kelvin's Cairn got ambushed by a peticularly violent Red Yeti. Their brother Oobok got brutally killed and now they're missing 600 pounds worth of iron for Bryn Shander forges. She promised the party a bag of gems worth 50gp each per Charakter, if they agree to bring back the missing sled and wares. After being held off for a few hours by a blizzard, the party found Oobok's body, aswell as traces of the sled and around half a dozen goblin tracks left in the snow. Having dealt with the looters, Goblinboss Izobai surrendered and begrudgingly fled with the survivors to their fortress of Karkolohk.
Treasure: Izobai carried two potions of animal friendship and a sealskin pouch containing 13 sp, 25 cp, and a bone whistle (1 sp). The other goblins carried 37 cp in sum.
Reward: 5 gems worth 50gp each and 10% discount at the Blackiron Blades.
"The friendship of the dwarves of Icewind Dale can also be a boon in these harsh times."
...
A Beautiful Mine. Speaker Duvessa Shane has hired the party to help with problems around Ten-Towns for a pay of 10gp per tenday. She recently has recieved a request for help from Termalaine, where Kobolds have taken over the local gem mines and tasked the party to travel north-west to investigate the issues.
...
Lake Monster. Rumors from Bremen about a strange sea monster have reached Bryn Shander and Duvessa Shane has tasked the party to go and investigate around Mear Dualdon.
...
Mountain Climb. The party overheard a group of fellow adventurers (Mokingo - male goliath warrior, Astrix - female tiefling wizard, Perilou - female halfling cleric) talk about a goliath werebear named Oyaminartok, who might have some information about what has befallen Icewind Dale. They are currently on their way to Targos.

Loot so far:

52,85gp per Person
2x Potion of Animal Friendship
each charakter recieved a trinket from the rollable Table in Appendix A

Hook of Fisher's Delight
Wondrous item, rare
This tiny silver fishhook has a little gold feather attached to it. For it to function, the feathered hook must be tied to the end of a fishing line and immersed in enough water to fill at least a 10-foot cube. At the end of each uninterrupted hour of immersion, roll a d6. On a 6, a floppy, 6-inch-long magical fish appears on the end of the hook. The color and properties of the conjured fish are determined by rolling on the Hook of Fisher’s Delight table. Once the hook conjures a fish, it can’t do so again until the next dawn.
Fish Color
Magical Property
1–10 Green with copper bands This tasty fish provides a day’s worth of nourishment to one creature that eats it. The fish loses this property and rots if it’s not eaten within 24 hours of being caught.
11–14 Yellow with black stripes Once removed from the hook, this awful-tasting fish can be thrown up to 120 feet, targeting a creature the thrower can see. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. The fish then disappears.
15–18 Blue with white bands When released from the hook, this fish squirms free, sprouts wings, follows you around, and sings a beautiful tune in Aquan. It disappears after 2d4 hours or when reduced to 0 hit points. The fish uses the quipper stat block, except that it can breathe air and has a flying speed of 30 feet.
19–20 Gold with silver stripes This tasty fish provides a day’s worth of nourishment to one creature that eats it and grants 2d10 temporary hit points to that creature. The fish loses these properties and rots if it’s not eaten within 24 hours of being caught.

Downtime Activity:

Griffon Taming
Goliaths of the Akannathi clan can learn to raise and tame griffons using secrets passed down through the generations. The clan’s griffon trainer, Rahi, shares these secrets with clan members who show great wisdom. The goliaths don’t ride the griffons; rather, they train them to hunt like falcons. The griffons are taught to respond to goliath whistles and never stray too far from their masters.
A goliath character who earns Rahi’s respect can be taught the secrets of griffon taming over a period of 1 year, during which time the character is entrusted to watch over and protect a single griffon egg and, when it hatches, the emergent griffon youngling. At the end of the year, if the griffon is still alive, the character must make a DC 15 Wisdom (Animal Handling) check, with advantage if the character accepts Rahi’s guidance. If the check fails, the character is unable to tame the griffon. If the check succeeds, the character tames the griffon and bonds with it for life. Control of the griffon can be given to the goliath’s player at this time.

Modify the griffon stat block as follows to account for the young griffon’s development:

At birth, the griffon is Tiny and has 5 (1d4 + 3) hit points, a flying speed of 40 feet, and a Strength score of 2. It has a +0 bonus to hit on its attacks and deals 1 piercing damage with its beak and 1 slashing damage with its claws. Its challenge rating is 0 (10 XP).
After 1 year, the griffon is Small and has 13 (2d6 + 6) hit points and a Strength score of 8. It has a +1 bonus to hit on its attacks and deals 2 (1d4) piercing damage with its beak and 2 (1d4) slashing damage with its claws. Its challenge rating is 1/4 (50 XP).
After 2 years, the griffon is Medium and has 32 (5d6 + 15) hit points and a Strength score of 12. It has a +3 bonus to hit on its attacks and deals 4 (1d6 + 1) piercing damage with its beak and 6 (2d4 + 1) slashing damage with its claws. Its challenge rating is 1 (200 XP).
After 3 years, the griffon is fully grown and tame enough to be ridden as a mount.

Story:

The charakters have reached Skytower Shelter and learned of their feud with the goliaths from Wyrmdoom Crag. Beru learned about his heritage aswell as gained the trust and affection of Kwan the monolith Akannathi (Fated Ally), heir of Arn Rockfist Akannathi, the tribes chief, whose husband is Harad Cloudstrider Akannathi. By helping a griffon hatchling overcome it's fear of flying, the charakters were taught by Rahi Skydreamer Akannathi the art of griffon taming.
Elric's Mirror Image made flesh passed away on the peaks of Skytower Shelter and returned into the arms of Amaunator peacefully.
At Wyrmdoom Crag they met with Dannika Greysteel, who was hoping to experiment on the dragon bones laying there to create what she calles Dragon Bone Stew. Earning the tribes respect in a game of goat ball and healing a wounded aarakocra named Sikki-kree, wo serves as an arbiter at Revel's End, the chief of the Thuunlakalaga , Ogolai Orcsplitter, agreed to meet on neutral grounds to settel the pointless feud once and for all in a peaceful manner.
Beru learned from a goliath midwife about the identity of his mother, a fearsome goliath warrioress, mountain of a woman with a massive fishing spear... Oyaminartok herself.

Alchemy Jug
Wondrous item, uncommon
This ceramic jug appears to be able to hold a gallon of liquid and weighs 12 pounds whether full or empty. Sloshing sounds can be heard from within the jug when it is shaken, even if the jug is empty.
You can use an action and name one liquid from the table below to cause the jug to produce the chosen liquid. Afterward, you can uncork the jug as an action and pour that liquid out, up to 2 gallons per minute. The maximum amount of liquid the jug can produce depends on the liquid you named.
Once the jug starts producing a liquid, it can’t produce a different one, or more of one that has reached its maximum, until the next dawn.
Liquid Max Amount
Acid 8 ounces
Basic poison 1/2 ounce
Beer 4 gallons
Honey 1 gallon
Mayonnaise 2 gallons
Oil 1 quart
Vinegar 2 gallons
Water, fresh 8 gallons
Water, salt 12 gallons
Wine 1 gallon
Vassavicken's Greataxe (Berserker Axe)
Weapon (greataxe), rare (requires attunement)
You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In addition, while you are attuned to this weapon, your hit point maximum increases by 1 for each level you have attained.
Curse. This weapon is cursed, and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. As long as you remain cursed, you are unwilling to part with the weapon, keeping it within reach at all times. You also have Disadvantage on attack rolls with weapons other than this one.
Whenever another creature damages you while the weapon is in your possession, you must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or go berserk. This berserk state ends when you start your turn and there are no creatures within 60 feet of you that you can see or hear.
While berserk, you regard the creature nearest to you that you can see or hear as your enemy. If there are multiple possible creatures, choose one at random. On each of your turns, you must move as close to the creature as possible and take the Attack action, targeting the creature. If you’re unable to get close enough to the creature to attack it with the weapon, your turn ends after you’ve used up all your available movement. If the creature dies or can no longer be seen or heard by you, the next nearest creature that you can see or hear becomes your new target.

Wondrous item, common
This hooded lantern burns for 6 hours on 1 pint of oil, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet.
Each lantern of tracking is designed to track down a certain type of creature, which is determined by rolling on the Lantern of Tracking table. Once determined, this creature type can’t be changed. While the lantern is within 300 feet of any creature of that type, its flame turns bright green. The lantern doesn’t pinpoint the creature’s exact location, however.

Story:

The Party has made their way through Targos and arrived at the Mining Town of Termalaine.
On their way they've met with Vellyne Harpell, a wizard of the Arcane Brotherhood:
“Adventurers, I presume? Pleased to meet you. My name’s Vellynn, Wizard of the Arcane Brotherhood in Luskan. I have a minor task – not a task, really, just a request. A colleague of mine, a younger woman named Nass Lantomir, was supposed to meet me here in Ten-Towns, but I have had a hard time finding her. I’d be very grateful if you could keep an eye out for her. She has dark hair, glasses, and may be carrying an orb of quartz – about this big – with her. If you hear or see anything, let me know – I’ll give you 25 gp for any clue that leads me to her.”
Vellyne was accompanied by Dannika Greysteel, a new resident of Ten-Towns trying to find a way to alter the climate in Icewind Dale. She's been giving out Lanterns of Tracking in hopes of finding or capturing a chwinga, several of which she believes are located in and around Ten-Towns. She thinks these creatures could be of help to the party: “Well met! You lot seem like you’re looking for work. Or trouble. You wouldn’t be standing around in this cold otherwise.”

Ring, uncommon (requires attunement)

Story:

The party have made their way onto Maer Dualdon in search of the lake monster as Tali, the half-elf reasearcher requested. “Perhaps this unending winter has affected its eating habits or demeanor in some way.” Waiting and fishing for knucklehead trout, the charakters were able to gather some information on the beast from the local wildlife and identified it as an awakened plesiosaurus. When the monster attacked the party tried to reason with it peacefully.
A reptilian head at the end of a long, slender neck rises out of the cold, dark water. The creature gazes at you intently and says, in Common, “I’m listening.”
The plesiosaurus answered straightforward questions and knew the following information:
It used to just swim around the lake and eat fish. The human who gave it this gift was named Ravisin and claimed to serve the Frostmaiden. Ravisin said it must do it's part to help the Frostmaiden, who wants the people of Bremen to suffer. It didn’t want to be a stupid beast again. (The plesiosaurus didn't know enough about druidic magic to know that its awakening is permanent.)
The plesiosaurus revealed that Ravisin instructed it to spread fear among the town’s fishers. The plesiosaurus or Nessie, as the party named it, doesn’t know where Ravisin came from or where she is now. The sharacters however have heard of rumors regarding a White Moose, terrorizing Lonelywood.
The plesiosaurus was afraid to stop what it was doing because it feared the druid might take away the gift that has been bestowed upon it. After convincing Nessie that its awakening is permanent, the plesiosaurus promised not to attack any fishers from the villages anymore.
When the characters made it back to Bremen’s docks, Grynsk showed up soon thereafter, eager to see how many knucklehead trout they caught. He honors his agreement, paying 5 cp per fish. Tali was eager to see the characters and gives the party a spell scroll of animal friendship and a pouch containing 5 gp as thanks, then headed toward Buried Treasures, the local Inn, to pore over the notes. The inn caters to treasure-seekers, specifically ones who pan for treasure along the riverbank in warmer weather. During the winter, this establishment has few, if any, visitors. The middle-aged innkeeper, Cora Mulphoon, treats her guests like royalty while trying to conceal the fact that she currently is barely making ends meet.
While resting and celebrating their success, the party have met with Marta Peskryk, a willowy teenager, innkeeper and bard of "The Eastside" Inn in Termalaine. She was down in Bremen to collect medicine for her bedridden father, Clyde, a retired fisherman.
Marta sang a peculiar song to herself:
Ahead of winter’s wind she came—
The lovely woman with no name;
Draped in a fur-lined cloak of red,
To the icy lake she fled;
The wind pursued her all the same—
As sure as night she’s dead.
She explained to the party that fifty years ago, a mysterious woman in a fur-lined red cloak stopped at the Eastside on her way to Lonelywood. Because the woman was alone and frightened, the innkeepers—a pair of retired adventurers who happened to be Marta’s grandparents—tried to console her. The woman gave them a ring as payment for their hospitality. Not long afterward, a howling wind burst into the inn and tossed the woman about like a rag doll. The innkeepers intervened, giving the woman time to escape. The evil wind battered Marta’s grandparents unconscious before resuming its hunt. That was the last anyone saw of the woman.
Marta wore the mysterious woman’s ring (which she had inherited) around her neck on a chain. It is a ring of warmth, and Marta gifted it as a good luck charm to the charakters when she was convinced they were helping t bring an end to the wintry curse that besets Icewind Dale.
Cora broke down in front of the party later the next morning while serving breakfast, unable to contain her worries. She explained briefly that her adult son and only child, Huarwar, used to help with the chores until two months ago. Her son had joined a search party to find Speaker Shalescar after he went missing during a blizzard one afternoon. The speaker was brought back safe and sound, but Huarwar got separated from the others and didn’t find his way home until the following morning. He had frostbite and could barely walk.
Over the next few days, Huarwar displayed a meanness toward his mother that was uncharacteristic. The change in his demeanor started after Cora found what looked like a shard of black ice in her son’s room. Huarwar snatched it away and threatened his mother with bodily harm if she touched it again.
The next day, two tieflings (a male and a female) arrived at the inn and offered Huarwar sanctuary in their castle. He left with them willingly, taking the shard with him and telling his mother that he would never return. The tieflings wore amulets that looked much like the shard in Huarwar’s possession. Cora misses her son terribly and she hopes he is still alive. She recalls that one of the tieflings mentioned a castle, and she knows that there are only two castles in Ten-Towns: an intact one in Caer-Dineval and a ruined one in Caer-Konig.

The Party have rushed back to Bryn Shander, arriving late in the evening. Hoping to reverse the aging effect of Janths horryfying visage on Elric, they made their way to the House of the Morninglord. Inside they met with sister Mishann, a priestess of Amaunantor. who aspires to see the sun regain its rightful place in the sky over Icewind Dale. She calls Amaunator “the Morninglord,” a name that southerners use to describe Lathander, a god of the dawn and rebirth. Mishann views Lathander as a usurper of Amaunator’s light and doesn’t like it when people confuse the two deities.
She's was able to aid the party in reversing the ghosts effects on Elric via a Greater Restoration spell, however she was unable to provide free charity to the charakters, as all the money collected through temple services currently is needed to provide for the community and help foster the local orphanage, run by the House of the Triad.
Mishann rents her attic to a pessimistic rock gnome tinkerer named Copper Knobberknocker, who begrudgingly helps with services and chores. The two argue incessantly.
While not being able to offer more aid to the party at the moment, Mishann assures the party she will call on them, when an opportunity arises to help ten-towns and offer more readily available help, once possible.
In Targos the party has encountered a large crowd of people, gathered around the frozen and impaled corpse of their former ally, Kylan Bloodchaser. The charakters convinced the local guard to keep the remains of their dead friend and see to it, that he recieves a propper burial. Stopping by the towns store they met the scarecrow-like owner Jestin Hunrae and refilled their supplies.
Jestin currently has one arm in a sling, seemingly due to an accident with a colliding boat from Termalaine, however the Party harbors suspicions about the verasity of this statement. Towns Speaker Naerth Maxildanarr and his Sheriff Skath have won their positions fairly, because of his popularity with the fishers, but he holds trade in Targos in somewhat of a stranglehold.
Arriving in Bremen, the party has made contact with one fisherman named Grynsk Berylbore, a shield dwarf who owns a pair of rowboats tied to the docks and at first mistook the charakters for fishers and Tali, a gender non-binary half-elf researcher, who is in Icewind Dale to study how changes in climate alter the nature of the animal wildlife. They have begun to make plans on how to approach the Lake Monster living in Maer Dualdon, that has been attacking and sinking fishing boats.

Story:

The party has traveled to Lonleywood and spoken with Speaker Nimsey Huddle, who has opened her heated attic to visitors looking for a place to crash for the night, ever since the local inn closed its doors.
Nimsy Huddle, the town speaker, tempts you with freshly baked, halfling-shaped cookies. Her house was clearly built for humans, but most of the furniture is sized for halflings, with a few big chairs for visitors of taller stock. Four children scamper from room to room and climb a ladder up to the loft, chasing one another with wooden swords, while a fire crackles in the hearth in Speaker Huddle’s cluttered kitchen.
“Our loggers are being terrorized by a white moose,” says Speaker Huddle, “and the beast has eluded the hunters we’ve sent to kill it. We depend on the forest for our survival. I wouldn’t be a very good town speaker if I let a dumb moose get the better of us. Will you help?”
She is willing to pay 100gp for the mosse's head and 25gp for the carcass from the local butcher. She also offered the Ramshackle (the closed inn) as an investment property, to do with what they will.
The Party also was alerted to a few Chwinga by their Lantern of Tracking, who were playing house outside Nimsey's home. They managed to gleam the following information from the little fellas:
1. The frost druids are hiding in an old elven tomb deep in the forest and awakening beasts to terrorize ten-towns into worshipping Auril
2. One of the druids, Vurnis, was killed by the local shopkeeper for harassing Nimsey
3. The Tavern keeper is hiding secrets and those she has marked as enemies in the past have quietly vanished.
One of the Chwinga grew fond of the party and has quietly come along with them. Each charakter has recieved one charm from the little gathering.

Story:

Back at Nimseys in Lonelywood the party could finally catch some breaths, exhausted and cold and finally take a deserved long rest. The next morning moods were grim. The party had lost Chonk, Berus axebeak, to the Coldlight Walkers. Trying to help sooth the characters woes, Nimsey offered her best halfling hospitality, but to little awail.
She told them of Jarlmoot, an ancient ritual ground of Frostgiants, who ruled this land a long time ago. Some manner of test and insight might be acquired there, aswell as an old relic hidden there. She also was able to tell them a little more about Oyaminartok, the werebear goliath and her clan, going around the dale and helping those in need. Surely, if anyone, she knows how to help them. After collecting themselves and deciding their next steps, the party set on going north, to Kelvin's Cairn and try to save Osrics old party members and their survival guide, before cutting east and checking in with Aerlyns father, to settle some long standing worries she's been harboring.
The Icewind-Kobold were given the deed to the Ramshakle Inn to make their new home and keep it for the charakters.
Quest: Mountain Climb
Osric and his party, Mokingo Growling Bear Akannathi (male goliath warrior), Perilou Fishfinger(female halfling cleric) and Astrix (female tiefling wizard), hired the help of Garret Velryn, a survialist and moutain guide, but were ambushed by a yeti in a snowstorm
The characters managed to get a badly hurt Garret and deeply exhausted Perilou down from the mountain and to their save encampment. Sadly Mokingo was already half eaten and his head mounted like a trophy among others. Astrix in her panik fled UP the mountain, instead of down and froze to her death. On the mountains peak they found her, kneeling frozen in front of a long extinguished fire, next to another corpse, that of a once very popular dwarven daredevil with blue boots.
Auril in her Frostmaiden form greeted the party, frozen in shock. She beckonned to the lands below and its pristine beauty. It seems that, for now, she's more interessted in what these "heroes" would do next, than anything else and expressed once more her lamenting Skalli's growing effort to evade her. She gidted them with advice before parting:
"Exist as long as you can, by whatever means you can. Only by enduring can you outlast your enemies." "Your compassion makes you vulnerable. Let cruelty be the knife that keeps your enemies at bay."

By the Frostmaidens grace the party has reached 5th Level!

Story:

The Party has made their way to Termalaine and met with Speaker Oarus Masthew, who briefed them on the kobold situation of the mines. None of the miners has been hurt or seriously injured, merely been scared of. One casualty had appearantly fallen down the mines shaft into the underdark, but before the kobold had arrived there. Now many of the former miners have sought other work around ten-towns, mainly trying their luck on Maer Dualdon as fishers. Furthermore the town militia refused to aid or head his commands. He suspects influence from Targos on this matter, but has no proof on the matter, only a feeling of unease. He hopes solving the mines issues will bring trade and wealth back to Termalaine, strenghtening his position as speaker.
In the beautiful Mine, the charakters have met with Trex and hisicewind kobolds,
who sought refuge in the mine after being chased out of the foothills of Kelvin’s Cairn by a yeti. The miners got scared and ran off before Trex could explain that the kobolds meant no harm.
Trex himself was possesed by the ghost of a scholar named Janth, who was studying the local flora in icewind dale. The kobolds happened upon the ghost while searching for shelter during a blizzard, allowing it to possess Trex without the other kobolds’ knowledge.
Bound to his threadbare satchel, Janth's plan was to use the kobolds to lead him to one of the ten-towns, where he could posses someone more fitting and, preferably, more influential.
The Party has aided the kobolds in slaying a grell, that was inhabiting the mines and thankfully managed to lay janths ghost to rest. Unfortunately not before Elric was hit by the ghosts horryfying gaze ability and aging 20 years...
Oarus was initially hesitant to let the kobolds stay in the town. After hearing about their willingness to work, he decided to give them a chance and offerd them menial jobs. The kobolds, eager to prove themselves, turned out to be good workers. The townsfolk teased them at first, but eventually the kobolds won them over. Trex at this point had reverted to his skittish, much less intelligent self.

The party has reached 3rd Level, after completing their first mayor task: A beautiful Mine

Story:

The party has braved the Lonelywood and vanquished a Banshee, the spectral remnant of a female elf warrior who was banished from her ancestral tombs for a selfish, evil act. After a short rest under the cover of trees, they've chatted with an awakened fox and hare about Ravisins, the druid who keeps awakening beasts to terrorize the townsfolk and learned to location of the Elven Tomb.
At the Elven Tomb, the charakters have found and slain the White Moose and soon after awoke Sahnar, a moon elf mummy and guardian of the tomb, who helped them navigate the moon dial via a Moonbeam spell. which opens the various chambers of the facility.
Full Moon Inscription. “Gaze upon your own face and have seven questions answered.”
Half-Moon Inscription. “Unlock the tombs of the half moon.”
Inside, they have fought and killed Ravisins the frost druid. Her last word, “You have gained nothing this day. Queen Geluvicken’s work continues and the Frostmaiden’s fury shall not abate until all of Ten-Towns is buried under ice and snow!” leaving the charakters with a warning for what is to come.

Starting the Adventure:

The players have come to Bryn Shander at the behest of Speaker Duvessa Shane and the Council of Speakers to aid Ten-Towns. Shortly after arriving, the party has encountered a wounded Crag Cat, that has made its way into town in desperation for pray and begun eating away at a frozen-to-death fishermans corpse and bounty. The party managed to dispatch the beast non-lethally and released it into the wilderness.
Sherrif Markham Southwell, alerted by the fleeing bystanders, has commended the party for their quick and sensible judgement and initiative and offered to accompany them to the town hall meeting.

Quests:

Main-Story Quest: Cold-Hearted Killer
A serial killer has descended upon the Ten-Towns. They have slain three prominent figures in three separate towns: Bryn Shander, Easthaven, and Targos. They leave a distinctive calling card in their victim’s chests: a knife, made entirely out of black ice. With the Ten-Towns divided by the stress of the Rime, concerned officials stand little chance of stopping the killer in time before they claim their next victim.
Hlin Trollbane, a retired veteran and bounty-hunter, has taken it upon herself to investigate the recent murders because no one else—not even the Council of Speakers—can be bothered. She has asked the party to help her take down her only suspect: a man named Sephek Kaltro.
“Sephek Kaltro works for a small traveling merchant company called Torg’s, owned and operated by a shady dwarf named Torrga Icevein. In other words, Sephek gets around. He’s charming. Makes friends easily. He’s also Torrga’s bodyguard, so I’m guessing he’s good with a blade."
“His victims come from the only three towns that sacrifice people to the Frostmaiden on nights of the new moon. This is what passes for civilized behavior in Icewind Dale. Maybe the victims found a way to keep their names out of the drawings and Sephek found out they were cheating, so he killed them. Maybe, just maybe, Sephek is doing the Frostmaiden’s work."
“I followed Torg’s for a tenday as it moved from town to town. Quite the devious little enterprise, but that’s not my concern. What struck me is how comfortable Sephek Kaltro looked in this weather. No coat, no scarf, no gloves. It was like the cold couldn’t touch him. Kiss of the Frostmaiden, indeed."
“I will pay you a hundred gold pieces to apprehend Sephek Kaltro, ascertain his guilt, and deal with him, preferably without involving the authorities. When the job is done, return to me to collect your money.”
Reward: 100gp

Sidequests:

Foaming Mugs. Three frostbitten shield dwarves approached the characters in the snow-covered street, Hruna, Korux and Storn. They were due for an iron shipment for their forge, the "Blackiron Blades", but on their way from Kelvin's Cairn got ambushed by a peticularly violent Red Yeti. Their brother Oobok got brutally killed and now they're missing 600 pounds worth of iron for Bryn Shander forges. She promised the party a bag of gems worth 50gp each per Charakter, if they agree to bring back the missing sled and wares. After being held off for a few hours by a blizzard, the party found Oobok's body, aswell as traces of the sled and around half a dozen goblin tracks left in the snow. Having dealt with the looters, Goblinboss Izobai surrendered and begrudgingly fled with the survivors to their fortress of Karkolohk.
Treasure: Izobai carried two potions of animal friendship and a sealskin pouch containing 13 sp, 25 cp, and a bone whistle (1 sp). The other goblins carried 37 cp in sum.
Reward: 5 gems worth 50gp each and 10% discount at the Blackiron Blades.
"The friendship of the dwarves of Icewind Dale can also be a boon in these harsh times."
...
A Beautiful Mine. Speaker Duvessa Shane has hired the party to help with problems around Ten-Towns for a pay of 10gp per tenday. She recently has recieved a request for help from Termalaine, where Kobolds have taken over the local gem mines and tasked the party to travel north-west to investigate the issues.
...
Lake Monster. Rumors from Bremen about a strange sea monster have reached Bryn Shander and Duvessa Shane has tasked the party to go and investigate around Mear Dualdon.
...
Mountain Climb. The party overheard a group of fellow adventurers (Mokingo - male goliath warrior, Astrix - female tiefling wizard, Perilou - female halfling cleric) talk about a goliath werebear named Oyaminartok, who might have some information about what has befallen Icewind Dale. They are currently on their way to Targos.

Loot so far:

52,85gp per Person
2x Potion of Animal Friendship

Hook of Fisher's Delight
Wondrous item, rare
This tiny silver fishhook has a little gold feather attached to it. For it to function, the feathered hook must be tied to the end of a fishing line and immersed in enough water to fill at least a 10-foot cube. At the end of each uninterrupted hour of immersion, roll a d6. On a 6, a floppy, 6-inch-long magical fish appears on the end of the hook. The color and properties of the conjured fish are determined by rolling on the Hook of Fisher’s Delight table. Once the hook conjures a fish, it can’t do so again until the next dawn.
Fish Color
Magical Property
1–10 Green with copper bands This tasty fish provides a day’s worth of nourishment to one creature that eats it. The fish loses this property and rots if it’s not eaten within 24 hours of being caught.
11–14 Yellow with black stripes Once removed from the hook, this awful-tasting fish can be thrown up to 120 feet, targeting a creature the thrower can see. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. The fish then disappears.
15–18 Blue with white bands When released from the hook, this fish squirms free, sprouts wings, follows you around, and sings a beautiful tune in Aquan. It disappears after 2d4 hours or when reduced to 0 hit points. The fish uses the quipper stat block, except that it can breathe air and has a flying speed of 30 feet.
19–20 Gold with silver stripes This tasty fish provides a day’s worth of nourishment to one creature that eats it and grants 2d10 temporary hit points to that creature. The fish loses these properties and rots if it’s not eaten within 24 hours of being caught.

Downtime Activity:

Griffon Taming
Goliaths of the Akannathi clan can learn to raise and tame griffons using secrets passed down through the generations. The clan’s griffon trainer, Rahi, shares these secrets with clan members who show great wisdom. The goliaths don’t ride the griffons; rather, they train them to hunt like falcons. The griffons are taught to respond to goliath whistles and never stray too far from their masters.
A goliath character who earns Rahi’s respect can be taught the secrets of griffon taming over a period of 1 year, during which time the character is entrusted to watch over and protect a single griffon egg and, when it hatches, the emergent griffon youngling. At the end of the year, if the griffon is still alive, the character must make a DC 15 Wisdom (Animal Handling) check, with advantage if the character accepts Rahi’s guidance. If the check fails, the character is unable to tame the griffon. If the check succeeds, the character tames the griffon and bonds with it for life. Control of the griffon can be given to the goliath’s player at this time.

Modify the griffon stat block as follows to account for the young griffon’s development:

At birth, the griffon is Tiny and has 5 (1d4 + 3) hit points, a flying speed of 40 feet, and a Strength score of 2. It has a +0 bonus to hit on its attacks and deals 1 piercing damage with its beak and 1 slashing damage with its claws. Its challenge rating is 0 (10 XP).
After 1 year, the griffon is Small and has 13 (2d6 + 6) hit points and a Strength score of 8. It has a +1 bonus to hit on its attacks and deals 2 (1d4) piercing damage with its beak and 2 (1d4) slashing damage with its claws. Its challenge rating is 1/4 (50 XP).
After 2 years, the griffon is Medium and has 32 (5d6 + 15) hit points and a Strength score of 12. It has a +3 bonus to hit on its attacks and deals 4 (1d6 + 1) piercing damage with its beak and 6 (2d4 + 1) slashing damage with its claws. Its challenge rating is 1 (200 XP).
After 3 years, the griffon is fully grown and tame enough to be ridden as a mount.

Story:

The charakters have reached Skytower Shelter and learned of their feud with the goliaths from Wyrmdoom Crag. Beru learned about his heritage aswell as gained the trust and affection of Kwan the monolith Akannathi (Fated Ally), heir of Arn Rockfist Akannathi, the tribes chief, whose husband is Harad Cloudstrider Akannathi. By helping a griffon hatchling overcome it's fear of flying, the charakters were taught by Rahi Skydreamer Akannathi the art of griffon taming.
Elric's Mirror Image made flesh passed away on the peaks of Skytower Shelter and returned into the arms of Amaunator peacefully.
At Wyrmdoom Crag they met with Dannika Greysteel, who was hoping to experiment on the dragon bones laying there to create what she calles Dragon Bone Stew. Earning the tribes respect in a game of goat ball and healing a wounded aarakocra named Sikki-kree, wo serves as an arbiter at Revel's End, the chief of the Thuunlakalaga , Ogolai Orcsplitter, agreed to meet on neutral grounds to settel the pointless feud once and for all in a peaceful manner.
Beru learned from a goliath midwife about the identity of his mother, a fearsome goliath warrioress, mountain of a woman with a massive fishing spear... Oyaminartok herself.

Alchemy Jug
Wondrous item, uncommon
This ceramic jug appears to be able to hold a gallon of liquid and weighs 12 pounds whether full or empty. Sloshing sounds can be heard from within the jug when it is shaken, even if the jug is empty.
You can use an action and name one liquid from the table below to cause the jug to produce the chosen liquid. Afterward, you can uncork the jug as an action and pour that liquid out, up to 2 gallons per minute. The maximum amount of liquid the jug can produce depends on the liquid you named.
Once the jug starts producing a liquid, it can’t produce a different one, or more of one that has reached its maximum, until the next dawn.
Liquid Max Amount
Acid 8 ounces
Basic poison 1/2 ounce
Beer 4 gallons
Honey 1 gallon

Vassavicken's Greataxe (Berserker Axe)
Weapon (greataxe), rare (requires attunement)
You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In addition, while you are attuned to this weapon, your hit point maximum increases by 1 for each level you have attained.
Curse. This weapon is cursed, and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. As long as you remain cursed, you are unwilling to part with the weapon, keeping it within reach at all times. You also have Disadvantage on attack rolls with weapons other than this one.
Whenever another creature damages you while the weapon is in your possession, you must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or go berserk. This berserk state ends when you start your turn and there are no creatures within 60 feet of you that you can see or hear.
While berserk, you regard the creature nearest to you that you can see or hear as your enemy. If there are multiple possible creatures, choose one at random. On each of your turns, you must move as close to the creature as possible and take the Attack action, targeting the creature. If you’re unable to get close enough to the creature to attack it with the weapon, your turn ends after you’ve used up all your available movement. If the creature dies or can no longer be seen or heard by you, the next nearest creature that you can see or hear becomes your new target.

Lantern of Tracking (Elementals)
Wondrous item, common
This hooded lantern burns for 6 hours on 1 pint of oil, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet.
Each lantern of tracking is designed to track down a certain type of creature, which is determined by rolling on the Lantern of Tracking table. Once determined, this creature type can’t be changed. While the lantern is within 300 feet of any creature of that type, its flame turns bright green. The lantern doesn’t pinpoint the creature’s exact location, however.

Story:

The Party has made their way through Targos and arrived at the Mining Town of Termalaine.
On their way they've met with Vellyne Harpell, a wizard of the Arcane Brotherhood:
“Adventurers, I presume? Pleased to meet you. My name’s Vellynn, Wizard of the Arcane Brotherhood in Luskan. I have a minor task – not a task, really, just a request. A colleague of mine, a younger woman named Nass Lantomir, was supposed to meet me here in Ten-Towns, but I have had a hard time finding her. I’d be very grateful if you could keep an eye out for her. She has dark hair, glasses, and may be carrying an orb of quartz – about this big – with her. If you hear or see anything, let me know – I’ll give you 25 gp for any clue that leads me to her.”
Vellyne was accompanied by Dannika Greysteel, a new resident of Ten-Towns trying to find a way to alter the climate in Icewind Dale. She's been giving out Lanterns of Tracking in hopes of finding or capturing a chwinga, several of which she believes are located in and around Ten-Towns. She thinks these creatures could be of help to the party: “Well met! You lot seem like you’re looking for work. Or trouble. You wouldn’t be standing around in this cold otherwise.”

Story:

The party have made their way onto Maer Dualdon in search of the lake monster as Tali, the half-elf reasearcher requested. “Perhaps this unending winter has affected its eating habits or demeanor in some way.” Waiting and fishing for knucklehead trout, the charakters were able to gather some information on the beast from the local wildlife and identified it as an awakened plesiosaurus. When the monster attacked the party tried to reason with it peacefully.
A reptilian head at the end of a long, slender neck rises out of the cold, dark water. The creature gazes at you intently and says, in Common, “I’m listening.”
The plesiosaurus answered straightforward questions and knew the following information:
It used to just swim around the lake and eat fish. The human who gave it this gift was named Ravisin and claimed to serve the Frostmaiden. Ravisin said it must do it's part to help the Frostmaiden, who wants the people of Bremen to suffer. It didn’t want to be a stupid beast again. (The plesiosaurus didn't know enough about druidic magic to know that its awakening is permanent.)
The plesiosaurus revealed that Ravisin instructed it to spread fear among the town’s fishers. The plesiosaurus or Nessie, as the party named it, doesn’t know where Ravisin came from or where she is now. The sharacters however have heard of rumors regarding a White Moose, terrorizing Lonelywood.
The plesiosaurus was afraid to stop what it was doing because it feared the druid might take away the gift that has been bestowed upon it. After convincing Nessie that its awakening is permanent, the plesiosaurus promised not to attack any fishers from the villages anymore.
When the characters made it back to Bremen’s docks, Grynsk showed up soon thereafter, eager to see how many knucklehead trout they caught. He honors his agreement, paying 5 cp per fish. Tali was eager to see the characters and gives the party a spell scroll of animal friendship and a pouch containing 5 gp as thanks, then headed toward Buried Treasures, the local Inn, to pore over the notes. The inn caters to treasure-seekers, specifically ones who pan for treasure along the riverbank in warmer weather. During the winter, this establishment has few, if any, visitors. The middle-aged innkeeper, Cora Mulphoon, treats her guests like royalty while trying to conceal the fact that she currently is barely making ends meet.
While resting and celebrating their success, the party have met with Marta Peskryk, a willowy teenager, innkeeper and bard of "The Eastside" Inn in Termalaine. She was down in Bremen to collect medicine for her bedridden father, Clyde, a retired fisherman.
Marta sang a peculiar song to herself:
Ahead of winter’s wind she came—
The lovely woman with no name;
Draped in a fur-lined cloak of red,
To the icy lake she fled;
The wind pursued her all the same—
As sure as night she’s dead.
She explained to the party that fifty years ago, a mysterious woman in a fur-lined red cloak stopped at the Eastside on her way to Lonelywood. Because the woman was alone and frightened, the innkeepers—a pair of retired adventurers who happened to be Marta’s grandparents—tried to console her. The woman gave them a ring as payment for their hospitality. Not long afterward, a howling wind burst into the inn and tossed the woman about like a rag doll. The innkeepers intervened, giving the woman time to escape. The evil wind battered Marta’s grandparents unconscious before resuming its hunt. That was the last anyone saw of the woman.
Marta wore the mysterious woman’s ring (which she had inherited) around her neck on a chain. It is a ring of warmth, and Marta gifted it as a good luck charm to the charakters when she was convinced they were helping t bring an end to the wintry curse that besets Icewind Dale.
Cora broke down in front of the party later the next morning while serving breakfast, unable to contain her worries. She explained briefly that her adult son and only child, Huarwar, used to help with the chores until two months ago. Her son had joined a search party to find Speaker Shalescar after he went missing during a blizzard one afternoon. The speaker was brought back safe and sound, but Huarwar got separated from the others and didn’t find his way home until the following morning. He had frostbite and could barely walk.
Over the next few days, Huarwar displayed a meanness toward his mother that was uncharacteristic. The change in his demeanor started after Cora found what looked like a shard of black ice in her son’s room. Huarwar snatched it away and threatened his mother with bodily harm if she touched it again.
The next day, two tieflings (a male and a female) arrived at the inn and offered Huarwar sanctuary in their castle. He left with them willingly, taking the shard with him and telling his mother that he would never return. The tieflings wore amulets that looked much like the shard in Huarwar’s possession. Cora misses her son terribly and she hopes he is still alive. She recalls that one of the tieflings mentioned a castle, and she knows that there are only two castles in Ten-Towns: an intact one in Caer-Dineval and a ruined one in Caer-Konig.

Story:

The Party have rushed back to Bryn Shander, arriving late in the evening. Hoping to reverse the aging effect of Janths horryfying visage on Elric, they made their way to the House of the Morninglord. Inside they met with sister Mishann, a priestess of Amaunantor. who aspires to see the sun regain its rightful place in the sky over Icewind Dale. She calls Amaunator “the Morninglord,” a name that southerners use to describe Lathander, a god of the dawn and rebirth. Mishann views Lathander as a usurper of Amaunator’s light and doesn’t like it when people confuse the two deities.
She's was able to aid the party in reversing the ghosts effects on Elric via a Greater Restoration spell, however she was unable to provide free charity to the charakters, as all the money collected through temple services currently is needed to provide for the community and help foster the local orphanage, run by the House of the Triad.
Mishann rents her attic to a pessimistic rock gnome tinkerer named Copper Knobberknocker, who begrudgingly helps with services and chores. The two argue incessantly.
While not being able to offer more aid to the party at the moment, Mishann assures the party she will call on them, when an opportunity arises to help ten-towns and offer more readily available help, once possible.
In Targos the party has encountered a large crowd of people, gathered around the frozen and impaled corpse of their former ally, Kylan Bloodchaser. The charakters convinced the local guard to keep the remains of their dead friend and see to it, that he recieves a propper burial. Stopping by the towns store they met the scarecrow-like owner Jestin Hunrae and refilled their supplies.
Jestin currently has one arm in a sling, seemingly due to an accident with a colliding boat from Termalaine, however the Party harbors suspicions about the verasity of this statement. Towns Speaker Naerth Maxildanarr and his Sheriff Skath have won their positions fairly, because of his popularity with the fishers, but he holds trade in Targos in somewhat of a stranglehold.
Arriving in Bremen, the party has made contact with one fisherman named Grynsk Berylbore, a shield dwarf who owns a pair of rowboats tied to the docks and at first mistook the charakters for fishers and Tali, a gender non-binary half-elf researcher, who is in Icewind Dale to study how changes in climate alter the nature of the animal wildlife. They have begun to make plans on how to approach the Lake Monster living in Maer Dualdon, that has been attacking and sinking fishing boats.

Story:

The party has traveled to Lonleywood and spoken with Speaker Nimsey Huddle, who has opened her heated attic to visitors looking for a place to crash for the night, ever since the local inn closed its doors.
Nimsy Huddle, the town speaker, tempts you with freshly baked, halfling-shaped cookies. Her house was clearly built for humans, but most of the furniture is sized for halflings, with a few big chairs for visitors of taller stock. Four children scamper from room to room and climb a ladder up to the loft, chasing one another with wooden swords, while a fire crackles in the hearth in Speaker Huddle’s cluttered kitchen.
“Our loggers are being terrorized by a white moose,” says Speaker Huddle, “and the beast has eluded the hunters we’ve sent to kill it. We depend on the forest for our survival. I wouldn’t be a very good town speaker if I let a dumb moose get the better of us. Will you help?”
She is willing to pay 100gp for the mosse's head and 25gp for the carcass from the local butcher. She also offered the Ramshackle (the closed inn) as an investment property, to do with what they will.
The Party also was alerted to a few Chwinga by their Lantern of Tracking, who were playing house outside Nimsey's home. They managed to gleam the following information from the little fellas:
1. The frost druids are hiding in an old elven tomb deep in the forest and awakening beasts to terrorize ten-towns into worshipping Auril
2. One of the druids, Vurnis, was killed by the local shopkeeper for harassing Nimsey
3. The Tavern keeper is hiding secrets and those she has marked as enemies in the past have quietly vanished.
One of the Chwinga grew fond of the party and has quietly come along with them. Each charakter has recieved one charm from the little gathering.
