Teilnehmer: Infos: Trinket: Small figurine of a dog carved out of rock, with two pebble-sized tourmalines for eyes. It was made by a miner while on break. The figurine is worth 10 gp. Continual Flame von Elric Abgecastet auf lvl 4 Loot: Trident +2 You have a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. Professor Skant Professor Skant. The professor orb owned by Vellynne Harpell and stolen by Nass Lantomir calls itself Professor Skant. It is lawful good, and it has a Wisdom of 11 and a Charisma of 9. It speaks and reads Common, Draconic, Elvish, and Loross (the dead language of the Empire of Netheril). Professor Skant is a chatterbox and assumes all humanoids are dunderheads. When elaborating on its areas of expertise, it adopts an unintentionally patronizing tone. It has the following four areas of expertise:
A professor orb is a smooth 5-pound sphere of smoky gray quartz about the size of a grapefruit. Close examination reveals two or more pinpricks of silver light coming from deep inside the sphere. The orb is sentient and has the personality of a scholar. Its alignment is determined by rolling on the alignment table in the “Sentient Magic Items” section in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Regardless of its alignment, the orb has an Intelligence of 18, and Wisdom and Charisma scores determined by rolling 3d6 for each ability. The orb speaks, reads, and understands four languages, and it can see and hear normally out to a range of 60 feet. Unlike most other sentient items, the orb has no goals of its own and can’t initiate a conflict with the creature in possession of it. The orb has extensive knowledge of four narrow academic subjects. When making an Intelligence check to recall lore from any of its areas of expertise, the orb has a +9 bonus to its roll (including its Intelligence modifier). In addition to the knowledge it possesses, the orb can cast the mage hand cantrip at will. It uses the spell only to transport itself. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence. |

2025-04-04 21:39 | DDHC-RotF 06 - Caves of Hunger | 35 | 10 | Chardalyn Ring of the Ram, Bag of Holding | Show | |||
Teilnehmer: Info: Loot: Chardalyn Ring of the Ram This ring has 3 charges, and it regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. While wearing the ring, you can use an action to expend 1 to 3 of its charges to make a ranged spell attack against one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The ring produces a spectral ram’s head and makes its attack roll with a +7 bonus. On a hit, for each charge you spend, the target takes 2d10 force damage and is pushed 5 feet away from you. Alternatively, you can expend 1 to 3 of the ring’s charges as an action to try to break an object you can see within 60 feet of you that isn’t being worn or carried. The ring makes a Strength check with a +5 bonus for each charge you spend. Chardalyn: More than a hundred years prior to this adventure, a wizard named Akar Kessel found an artifact suffused with demonic magic called Crenshinibon (better known as the Crystal Shard) and used it to erect a great black tower in Icewind Dale. When this tower was destroyed, the magic used to create it fused with the surrounding ice to form what is now known as chardalyn: a nonmagical, crystalline substance as strong as metal, though considerably easier to work with than steel. In the years since, more deposits of chardalyn have been found across Icewind Dale. Like the Crystal Shard, these deposits tend to be suffused with demonic magic. Prolonged contact with chardalyn that has become suffused with demonic magic can warp a creature’s mind, causing madness that usually fades away once the contact is broken. Chardalyn is cold to the touch and readily accepts magical enchantment, making it an ideal substance for wands, staffs, and other magic items. A chardalyn object suffused with the magic of the Upper Planes is considered a consecrated object, while a chardalyn object suffused with the magic of the Lower Planes is considered a desecrated object; both can be identified as such using a detect evil and good spell or similar magic. Long before Akar Kessel left his mark on Icewind Dale, Netherese wizards created their own chardalyn. Many items made from this dark-colored crystal can be found in the ruins of ancient Netherese enclaves. Bag of Holding This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action. If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bag is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. Breathing creatures inside the bag can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate. Placing a bag of holding inside an extradimensional space created by a Heward’s handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened. |

Teilnehmer: Info: Ein Hain frostbedeckter Bäume füllt diese fünfzehn Meter hohe Höhle, deren Boden aus einer Mischung aus Erde und Eis besteht. Wie durch Zauberei oder ein Wunder leben die Bäume, ihre Kronen sind dicht mit frostigen Blättern bedeckt, und an ihren Ästen hängen violette Birnen wie Ornamente. Eine niedrige, an mehreren Stellen unterbrochene Mauer schlängelt sich durch den Hain, der von sechs Ausgängen umgeben ist. Loot: 2x Charm of Vicious Mockery Mantle of Spell Resistance You have advantage on saving throws against spells while you wear this cloak. Chardalyn Staff of Charming While holding this staff, you can use an action to expend 1 of its 10 charges to cast charm person, command, or comprehend languages from it using your spell save DC. The staff can also be used as a magic quarterstaff. If you are holding the staff and fail a saving throw against an enchantment spell that targets only you, you can turn your failed save into a successful one. You can’t use this property of the staff again until the next dawn. If you succeed on a save against an enchantment spell that targets only you, with or without the staff’s intervention, you can use your reaction to expend 1 charge from the staff and turn the spell back on its caster as if you had cast the spell. The staff regains 1d8 + 2 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff becomes a nonmagical quarterstaff. Damage: 1d6 Chardalyn: More than a hundred years prior to this adventure, a wizard named Akar Kessel found an artifact suffused with demonic magic called Crenshinibon (better known as the Crystal Shard) and used it to erect a great black tower in Icewind Dale.

Loot:Purple Pears. Each tree has 3d6 ripe pears hanging from its branches, most of them within reach. Any creature that eats more than half of a purple pear gains the benefit of a special charm (see “Supernatural Gifts” in the Dungeon Master’s Guide). Determine the charm randomly by rolling a d20 and consulting the Purple Pear Charms table. This charm must vanish from a creature before it can gain any more charms by eating purple pears. A creature that eats three or more purple pears within 1 hour is poisoned for 24 hours thereafter and suffers painful cramps until the condition ends. |

Teilnehmer: Info: Haben mehrere Tower untersucht und ein Kettenblitz-Spiel gespielt und dabei eine Trophehe erhalten. (Osric ist auf den Bänken dabei eingenickt.) Loot: Driftglobe This small sphere of thick glass weighs 1 pound. If you are within 60 feet of it, you can speak its command word and cause it to emanate the light or daylight spell. Once used, the daylight effect can’t be used again until the next dawn. You can speak another command word as an action to make the illuminated globe rise into the air and float no more than 5 feet off the ground. The globe hovers in this way until you or another creature grasps it. If you move more than 60 feet from the hovering globe, it follows you until it is within 60 feet of you. It takes the shortest route to do so. If prevented from moving, the globe sinks gently to the ground and becomes inactive, and its light winks out. The Trophy of Good Luck (Stone of good luck) The trophy cup is made from mithral embedded with three blue spinel gemstones and is worth 1,800 gp. While carried by a member of the winning team, it functions as a stone of good luck. While this polished agate is on your person, you gain a +1 bonus to ability checks and saving throws. |

Teilnehmer: Info: History: The wizards of Ythryn were on a mission to find relics and ruins of Ostoria, a 40,000-year-old empire of spellcasting giants. Dieser Ort scheint an Elrics ganzem "Sein" zu zehren, er wirkt alt und erschöpft. Dardurch das er ein Clon ist. Loot: Charm of the Illusionist. This charm allows you to cast the minor illusion cantrip as an action at will. After 24 hours, this charm vanishes from you. Chime of Opening This item has a single use remaining. This hollow metal tube measures about 1 foot long and weighs 1 pound. You can strike it as an action, pointing it at an object within 120 feet of you that can be opened, such as a door, lid, or lock. The chime issues a clear tone, and one lock or latch on the object opens unless the sound can’t reach the object. If no locks or latches remain, the object itself opens. The chime can be used ten times. After the tenth time, it cracks and becomes useless. |

Teilnehmer: Info: In the center of the interior, crystal mannequins draped in finery encircle an empty pedestal. If a creature steps onto the pedestal, an illusion of a magnificently dressed human flickers to life before them and introduces itself as Silksmith Mixyll. The illusion welcomes the guest to its emporium and explains the robe-making process. As it speaks, the phase spiders descend silently and use their legs to take the creature’s measurements before spinning the creature a tailor-made robe. As the robe is being fashioned, Mixyll urges its guest to “imagine any image your heart desires.” The spiders can, in the 10 minutes it takes to create the robe, spin any illusory design or effect into the garment. On completion, they drape the robe over the creature’s shoulders and ascend back to their lair. Each guest can gain this benefit only once. Loot: Necklace of Fireballs (6xBeads) This necklace has 6 beads hanging from it. You can use an action to detach a bead and throw it up to 60 feet away. When it reaches the end of its trajectory, the bead detonates as a 3rd-level fireball spell (save DC 15). You can hurl multiple beads, or even the whole necklace, as one action. When you do so, increase the level of the fireball by 1 for each bead beyond the first. |

Reghed TribesfolkReghed nomads are the children of the Reghed Glacier, as suggested by their name. They are people of the wild, as revealed by their tribal names—the Elk, the Tiger, the Wolf, the Bear. They are the tribes of Icewind Dale, proud and strong, bound to ancient traditions that have kept them alive through countless harsh winters. The Reghed wear heavy furs as well as gloves, boots, and masks made of animal hide, to protect themselves from the bitter cold. Reghed tribe camps are scattered throughout Icewind Dale. None of them appear on maps because they don’t stay in one place for long. Each Reghed tribe is made up of smaller clans, each with its own chieftain (the most powerful of whom often carries the title of king or queen). A clan might set up its camp for a tenday or two, then dismantle it and go back on the move, allowing the clan to stay close to a migrating herd of reindeer as it travels across the tundra. Reghed tribesfolk are mostly human, but some tribes, especially the Wolf Tribe, “adopt” compatible individuals of other races who might want to join them out of necessity or desire. The Hierarchy of a Tribe King/Queen/Chieftain – the leader of the tribe. A tribe will have many dogs as sled dogs and guard dogs. Outlook on LifeThe Reghed nomads eke out a meagre existence on the desolate tundra of Icewind Dale, yet this is a life to which they are accustomed. Auril’s everlasting winter has made hunting and travel more challenging, to be sure, but the tribes are weathering these difficult times by rationing their food and letting nothing go to waste. If anything, the Frostmaiden’s cruelty has hardened the nomads’ determination to survive. By following herds for their food and occasionally restocking on wood, the Reghed can get by without relying on trade. They shun Ten-Towns and expect to prevail long after those feeble lights of civilization have been snuffed out. Food is critical, of course, and certain beasts of the tundra are staples among the Reghed tribes. Knucklehead trout and seals are often prepared for eating very near the scene of the kill, filleted or chopped and often eaten raw. Reindeer meat, on the other hand, must be cooked before consumption. Reindeer also provide the Reghed tribes with sinew, bone, and hide, all of which are used in the manufacture of weapons, clothing, and armour. Despite their determination, the Reghed tribes have declined over time. Lack of food – especially in the last year as the reindeer herds have depleted with less young being born – and tribal warfare with other Reghed nomads – usually over resources – have been major factors. But also battles with giants, yeti, orcs and even goblins have taken their toll. Some of the people of Ten-Towns are descended from the Reghed barbarians who settled in Caer-Konig and Bremen for a time. They abandoned their ancient traditions and self-sufficient lifestyle after they were decimated by the armies of Akar Kessell a hundred years ago. Many of their kin still roam the tundra, but Caer-Konig and Bremen in particular have significant populations of exceptionally tall men and women descended from the Reghed tribes. All tribe-folk are given names when born by their parents. Titles, however, are often used instead of names. Sometimes they are defined by an event that happened in a warrior’s life, or by a job or skill that the person excels at. Titles are often earned by committing an act worthy of a story, whether from bravery, stupidity, or comedy. Titles can change throughout a Tribe-folk’s life as different things happen to them or they develop/hone different skills. You’ll notice a few names are repeated – this is not uncommon, as Titles define people as much as names, so it’s fine to have a few Sigrids in one tribe as none will have the same Title. Some of these titles are self-explanatory, Bonebreaker, Gorehammer, Stronghide, Wolfs/Wyrm/Trollbane and Giantstrike would have been earned in combat. Mossfoot and The Neverseen have high stealth, Shadowsight is a crack shot, etc. A few obscure ones here are;
CairnsCairns are artificial landmarks made by piling up rocks, and are part of tribe life. Each tribe will make them as they make camp and they get left when they move on. Mostly rocks but also other things. They serve as a centrepiece of the campsite, which get added to with items as kills are made, or events happen. A ribbon dyed to represent a celebration, a carved tusk to show a birth. The longer a camp exists the bigger they are, and on rare occasions when mostly intact cairns are found they hold with them many memories.
The Remaining TribesUntil recently there were only four Reghed Tribes left in Icewind Dale – The Elk, Bear, Wolf, and Tiger tribes. Of these, the Elk tribe are the most prominent, with the Bear Tribe second in population. A new tribe has emerged – Tribe of the Yeti. These are made up of outcasts, the disenfranchised, the marginalised, those too violent for most tribes, led by a Reghed priestess of Auril named Careri. Tribe of the Bear The Tribe of the Bear inhabit the lands east and north east of Easthaven. This tribe have often been allied with whoever can offer them some kind of advantage. A decade ago they allied with the Ice WItch and were part of her army but were defeated when they attacked Ten Towns. They have not yet recovered from their losses. Internal strife has splintered what remains of the Bear Tribe today. The turmoil began shortly after a band of Bear Tribe hunters recovered pieces of black ice from the frozen corpses of several dwarves. Oblivious to the demonic magic suffusing the crystal, tribe members used the shards to fashion heads for their spears and axes. Contact with the crystal corrupted these warriors over time, turning them into black ice berserkers. Their cruelty forced the king to banish them from the tribe. These outcasts have since begun raiding Bear Tribe camps for sacrifices, which they offer up to Auril to gain the Frostmaiden’s favour. The Bear Tribe have always been isolationists, and the current King is very much in favour of continuing this policy. They minimise contact with civilised folk, only trading begrudgingly for metal weapons and tools, and stealing them as a preference. The Bear Tribe also choose to be apart from other Reghed tribes, and are more likely than any other tribe to engage in inter-tribal conflict. The Elk Tribe Of the four remaining Reghed tribes, the Tribe of the Elk is the largest and the most tolerant of outsiders. It’s also the tribe of the hero Wulfgar, son of Beornegar, hero of Ten-Towns, companion to Drizzt Do’Urden, and member of Companions of the Hall. The Elk Tribe inhabit the lands north east of Caer-Konig. Members of the Elk Tribe view the people of Ten-Towns as “tame folk,” who are ill bred and ill equipped for life in Icewind Dale. The tribe keeps its distance from Ten-Towns to avoid misunderstandings, since the appearance of Elk Tribe hunters near Ten-Towns has been known to panic Ten-Towners who live in constant fear of attack. The Tiger Tribe lives in the lands between the coast and Maer Dualdon. This tribe shuns the stronger Elk Tribe and preys on the more populous but currently weaker Bear Tribe as well as the Wolf tribe. Of all the Reghed tribes, the Tiger Tribe is the most comfortable preying on the weakness of their rivals as well as Ten-Towns. Their Queen, Bjornhild Solvigsdottir, is a fervent worshipper of Auril. Tribe of the Wolf The Wolf Tribe is the smallest of the four remaining Reghed tribes, and even its most optimistic members don’t think it will survive much longer under its current lack of leadership. The tribe lives in the lands between Dougan’s Hole and the Spine of the World. The tribe has been without a king or queen for years. The most powerful chieftain Isarr Kronenstrom, is known to be a worshipper of Malar and a sadistic brute. To swell its ranks, chieftains of the Wolf Tribe have resorted to bringing outsiders into the fold, including outcasts from Ten-Towns, disenfranchised members of other Reghed tribes, and even goblinoids. In addition the Wolf Tribe is engaged in a civil war between two factions – those that support Isarr Kronenstrom, and those allied with Aluka, another chieftain who believes allying the tribes with a deity of brutality is a mistake. Tribe of the Yeti Careri, a Reghed priestess of Auril, collects malcontents from the Reghed tribes under the promise of power and untethered war against the Ten Towns. Her pledge to the Reghed is to, in the name of Auril – the true power in Icewind Dale – build a Tribe of the Yeti more prosperous and savage than the other tribes. Together, they shall rule and hunt in the snow covered ruins of the southlanders. Careri’s elite warriors wear yeti furs to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. They fight with cruelty and hate and, if possible, leave no survivors. Rumours about the bloodthirsty tribe abound in the Ten Towns, spread by those few people who have witnessed an attack and survived, covered by the bodies of their fallen comrades. Tribe of the Seal The Reghed tribes of lcewind Dale are bound by an ancient taboo that prevents them from venturing out onto the Sea of Moving Ice, or “the floating land.” as they call it. Though shrouded in language of superstition, the edict is ultimately practical, for the risks of travelling on the ice far outweigh the potential rewards. The short-lived Tribe of the Seal, which emerged during the heyday of the tribes under Wulfgar’s leadership, violated that edict, and the people of the tribes often point to that transgression as an explanation for why the tribe did not survive. The few scattered hunter-gatherer humans who live in the Sea of Moving Ice are mostly remnants of that tribe. Charms and TokensEach tribesfolk child has an adult Reghed nomad assigned as a “guide”. The guide gives their child a small charm carved from bone or wood in the form of an animal, such as a seal or a polar bear. The charm has no supernatural of magical properties. Rather, it symbolises a trait associated with the animal the friend and the parents hope that the child will embody when he or she becomes an adult. The following are some typical charms and the traits they represent. Apart from a seal they never use an animal that is the totem of any of the Reghed tribes. Dog – Loyalty The child keeps his charm pinned inside of his sleeve or clipped to his belt at all times. As the child grows up, the friend who gave him the charm teaches him special songs associated with the animal and offers behavioural guidance associated with the represented trait. For instance, if the child received a seal charm, the friend shows the child how seals alternate periods of hunting with periods of play, demonstrating that both work and recreation are vital to a balanced life. A child with a fox charm is taken into the wilderness and shown how a fox waits quietly for hours on end for its prey to appear, demonstrating the benefits of patience. |

Teilnehmer: Info: Vellynn Search: Dannika´s Chwinga Research: Auf der Reise von Bryn Shander nach Targos war es recht ereignislos doch alls sie die Stadt betraten ergab sich ohnen ein Schrecklicher anblick. Ein Mann war in der mitte des großen Platzes völlig nackt an einen Pfal gebunden und mit Eiswasser überschüttet. Uns wurde erklärt das dieser in er loterie gewonnen hatte. Skalli wusste das dies ein Auril Opfer war doch die anderen fragten die leute die darum standen und flüsstern. Diese erklärten das der Naerth Maxildanarr der Sprächer von Targos hat vorgeschlagen Opfer an Auril zu bringen nachdem. Vurnis Frostdruidin (Die Skallis Clan vesucht hat davon zu überzeugen Opfer an die Frostmaid zu bringen, doch die Clanführerin hat es abgelehnt) die mit einen Weiteren Druiden in die Stadt kam. Nachdem wir Bryn Shander hinter uns gelassen hatten, führte uns der Weg durch das gefrorene Herz der Zehn-Städte. Auf dem Weg nach Termalaine machten wir zunächst Halt in Targos – doch statt willkommen geheißen zu werden, wurden wir Zeugen eines Anblicks, der selbst uns abgehärtete Reisende verstummen ließ. Mitten auf dem großen Platz stand ein Mann, nackt und bis auf die Knochen durchgefroren, an einen Pfahl gebunden. Man hatte ihn mit Eiswasser übergossen – ein Todesurteil in dieser Kälte. Die Stimme in meinem Inneren sagte sofort: Ein Opfer an Auril. Die anderen fragten nach. Die Antwort kam leise und schuldbewusst: Naerth Maxildanarr, Sprecher von Targos, hatte vorgeschlagen, Menschen an die Frostmaid zu opfern – beeinflusst durch eine Druidenfrau namens Vurnis. Vurnis... eine, die auch meinen Clan zu bekehren versuchte. Doch unsere Führerin hatte sich ihr widersetzt. Ich war stolz. Und wütend. Meine Hand blutete, als ich sie zu fest zur Faust ballte. Wir erfuhren, dass Vurnis' Bruder, Ravisin, inzwischen nach Lonelywood weitergezogen war – mit weiteren dunklen Absichten. Doch für jetzt galt unsere Aufmerksamkeit Termalaine. Der Weg dorthin war zuerst ruhig – bis uns zwei Cragcats aus dem Hinterhalt angriffen. Mit Aerlyns Hilfe konnte ich eine der Raubkatzen sauber abhäuten und das Fleisch verarbeiten – genug für ein gutes Mahl. Doch die Zeit, die wir dafür brauchten, kostete uns das Tageslicht. Statt in der Stadt einzutreffen, schlugen wir ein Lager im offenen Gelände auf. In meiner Nachtwache roch ich ihn zuerst – schwer, tierisch, gefährlich. Ein Owlbär pirschte sich heran. Ich schlug Alarm. Beru sprang aus dem Zelt und brüllte das Biest an, mit einer Autorität, die selbst mich beeindruckte. Ich stimmte mit einem tiefen Knurren ein. Der Owlbär zog sich zurück – keine Verletzten, kein Kampf. Nur Respekt. Am nächsten Morgen erreichten wir Termalaine. Noch vor der Stadt trafen wir auf zwei Fremde. Die eine stellte sich als Vellynne Harpell vor, eine Zauberin der Arkanen Bruderschaft aus Luskan. Alt, grimmig, aber bestimmt. Sie bat uns nicht direkt um Hilfe – vielmehr äußerte sie eine Bitte: „Eine Kollegin von mir, Nass Lantomir, ist hier irgendwo in den Zehn-Städten unterwegs. Dunkles Haar, Brille, eine etwa so große Quarzkugel. Wenn ihr sie seht – gebt mir Bescheid. 25 Gold für jeden Hinweis.“ Als sie sich umdrehte, sah ich ihre „Leibwache“ – drei Kobolde, in einem übergroßen Mantel übereinandergestapelt. Ich lachte so laut, dass selbst Aerlyn zusammenzuckte. Begleitet wurde Vellynne von Dannika Graustahl, einer eifrigen Forscherin, die versuchte, das Klima Icewind Dales zu studieren – und zu verändern. Sie übergab uns magische Fährtenleser-Laternen, um sogenannte Chwinga zu finden – kleine Naturgeister, die hier irgendwo durch den Schnee huschten. Sie meinte, sie könnten uns helfen. Ich war skeptisch. Aber ich nahm die Laterne trotzdem. Am nächsten Morgen war ich nicht in Bestform. Kylan hatte sich eine Krippe eingefangen und blieb zurück – er wollte später nachkommen. Ich hingegen... nun ja, ich bin kein Morgenmensch. Als Elric versuchte, mir die Karten vom Frühstückstisch zu wischen, um besser zu lesen, reagierte ich... merkwürdig. Ich musste raus. Beru folgte mir. Wir gingen gemeinsam zu den Ställen, um ihre Reittiere zu holen. Als Beru mir ein Stück Fleisch von seinem Tier zuwarf, fing ich es instinktiv – mit dem Mund. Ja... das war unangenehm. Ich glaube, ich habe geglüht. Zurück auf dem Markt trafen wir eine ältere Bettlerin, die sich an Elric heranmachte. Er kaufte ihr Diebeswerkzeug ab – nur um festzustellen, dass sie Beldora war, eine Späherin der Harfner. Sie warnte ihn: „Pass auf dich auf.“ Dann verschwand sie wieder in der Menge, als wäre sie nie da gewesen. Ausblick: Skalli spürte: Die Kälte ist nicht das Schlimmste hier draußen. Loot: Lantern of Tracking (Elementals) 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. |

Teilnehmer: Info: (noch eine Nacht entspannen, Infos Sammeln, was trinken -> bei Trance Water Vehicles besorgen -> am nächsten Morgen ab auf den See mit dem Boot) Nach einer Rückkehr nach Bryn Shander mussten wir zuerst eine dringende Angelegenheit klären: Elric war durch den unheimlichen Geist in der Mine um zwanzig Jahre gealtert. Im Haus des Morgenherrn, einem Tempel Lathanders, gelang es schließlich, diesen Fluch zu brechen. Doch der Preis war hoch – und der Schrecken saß tief. Zurück in der Taverne versuchten wir, die Kristallscherben und die Hinweise auf die Opferungen an Auril zu untersuchen. Skalli trank in der Zwischenzeit... mehr, als sie sollte. Irgendwann wurde sie etwas zu zutraulich gegenüber Elric, legte sich auf seinen Schoß und schlief dort schließlich ein. Beru brachte sie später ins Bett. In der Nacht wurde Skalli von unruhigen Träumen heimgesucht – von Schnee, endloser Dunkelheit und einem kalten, blauen Auge, das sie durchdrang. Sie wachte mit einem Gefühl tiefen Unbehagens auf. Am nächsten Morgen reisten wir nach Targos – und fanden dort, was keiner von uns sich je gewünscht hätte: Kylan, unser Gefährte, war tot. Sein Körper war eingefroren, durchbohrt und aufgespießt von einem Zauber, der stärker war als alles, was wir kannten – Frostknife konnte es nicht gewesen sein. Rund um seinen Leichnam formte sich das Zeichen Aurils im Schnee. Er war von hinten erstochen worden, offenbar schon am Vortag. Bei ihm fanden wir eine Karte, die eine Route einer Karawane zeigte – sie reiste rund um den Maer Dualdon. Ein weiterer Hinweis in der Mörderquest, die uns schon seit Bryn Shander verfolgt hatte. Mit schwerem Herzen reisten wir weiter nach Bremen, wo uns bereits der schrullige Sprecher Dorbulgruf Shalescar erwartete – ein über sechshundert Jahre alter, leicht seniler Zwerg. Erst begrüßte uns Grynsk Berylbore, ein misstrauischer Fischer, der uns mit Argwohn begegnete. Doch als Tali, ein halbelfischer Naturforscher, uns erkannte, änderte sich die Stimmung. Tali hatte uns die Quest überhaupt erst vermittelt: Ein Seemonster im Maer Dualdon, das die Fischer in Angst versetzte. Er vermutete, dass der endlose Winter dessen Verhalten verändert hatte. Wir verbrachten eine Nacht im Ort, sammelten Informationen, besorgten ein Boot bei Trance Water Vehicles, tranken etwas – manche mehr als geplant – und legten am nächsten Morgen ab. Zwei kleine Boote glitten hinaus in den Nebel. Während wir auf dem See Knucklehead-Forellen angeln, sammelten wir Hinweise: Vögel, Spuren, Bewegungsmuster. Bald war uns klar: Es handelte sich um einen erweckten Plesiosaurier – ein urtümliches Wesen, das auf magische Weise intelligent geworden war. Dann erschien sie: „Ich höre.“ Wir nannten sie Nessie. Nessie erzählte uns von ihrer Erwachung – durch eine Druidin namens Ravisin, die sich selbst als Dienerin der Frostmaid bezeichnete. Ravisin hatte ihr befohlen, Angst unter Bremens Fischern zu verbreiten, als Teil von Aurils Willen. Nessie hatte Angst, dass sie ihre Intelligenz verlieren würde, wenn sie sich weigerte. Wir erklärten ihr, dass diese Gabe dauerhaft war – dass sie niemals wieder ein dummes Tier sein würde. Nessie zögerte. Dann versprach sie uns, keine Fischer mehr anzugreifen. Zurück in Bremen erwartete uns bereits Grynsk, der neugierig nach der Ausbeute fragte. Wir gaben ihm die gefangenen Forellen – und er bezahlte wie versprochen, wenn auch knausrig: 5 Kupfer pro Fisch. Tali war begeistert über den friedlichen Ausgang und schenkte uns als Dank eine Schriftrolle für Tierfreundschaft sowie einen kleinen Beutel mit 5 Goldmünzen. Er zog sich ins Gasthaus Buried Treasures zurück, um seine Notizen zu studieren. Dort trafen wir auch auf Marta Peskryk, eine willowy junge Bardin aus dem Eastside Inn in Termalaine. Sie war nach Bremen gereist, um Medizin für ihren kranken Vater Clyde zu besorgen. Abends sang sie ein altes Lied: Ahead of winter’s wind she came— Sie erzählte von einer mysteriösen Frau im roten Mantel, die vor über fünfzig Jahren im Eastside Inn Zuflucht gesucht hatte – nur um von einem bösen Wind heimgesucht zu werden. Die Frau verschwand spurlos. Marta erbte den Ring, den sie damals als Bezahlung hinterließ – einen Ring der Wärme. Überzeugt, dass wir den Fluch des Winters brechen könnten, schenkte sie uns den Ring als Glücksbringer. Am Morgen beim Frühstück konnte die Wirtin Cora Mulphoon ihre Fassade nicht mehr aufrechterhalten. Sie brach vor uns zusammen – nicht wegen der Wirtschaft, sondern wegen ihres Sohnes Huarwar, der vor zwei Monaten verschwand. Er war mit einer Suchgruppe aufgebrochen, um den Sprecher zu finden, kehrte frostverletzt zurück – verändert. Kalt. Aggressiv. Kurz darauf tauchten zwei Tieflinge auf, trugen Amulette aus schwarzem Eis, genau wie das, was Cora in Huarwars Zimmer gefunden hatte. Er ging mit ihnen – freiwillig – und sagte, er würde nie zurückkehren. Sie erinnerte sich vage an ein Wort: „Schloss“. Und sie wusste, es gibt nur zwei: Skallis Gedanken: Eis, das verändert. Magie, die lügt. Druidinnen, die Tiere zu Werkzeugen machen. Und nun Kinder, die sich in Monster verwandeln... Der Winter frisst sich tiefer in die Herzen der Menschen, als ich es für möglich hielt. |

Continual Flame von Elric Abgecastet auf lvl 4 Loot: Trident +2 You have a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. Professor Skant Professor Skant. The professor orb owned by Vellynne Harpell and stolen by Nass Lantomir calls itself Professor Skant. It is lawful good, and it has a Wisdom of 11 and a Charisma of 9. It speaks and reads Common, Draconic, Elvish, and Loross (the dead language of the Empire of Netheril). Professor Skant is a chatterbox and assumes all humanoids are dunderheads. When elaborating on its areas of expertise, it adopts an unintentionally patronizing tone. It has the following four areas of expertise:
A professor orb is a smooth 5-pound sphere of smoky gray quartz about the size of a grapefruit. Close examination reveals two or more pinpricks of silver light coming from deep inside the sphere. The orb is sentient and has the personality of a scholar. Its alignment is determined by rolling on the alignment table in the “Sentient Magic Items” section in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Regardless of its alignment, the orb has an Intelligence of 18, and Wisdom and Charisma scores determined by rolling 3d6 for each ability. The orb speaks, reads, and understands four languages, and it can see and hear normally out to a range of 60 feet. Unlike most other sentient items, the orb has no goals of its own and can’t initiate a conflict with the creature in possession of it. The orb has extensive knowledge of four narrow academic subjects. When making an Intelligence check to recall lore from any of its areas of expertise, the orb has a +9 bonus to its roll (including its Intelligence modifier). In addition to the knowledge it possesses, the orb can cast the mage hand cantrip at will. It uses the spell only to transport itself. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence. |

Teilnehmer: Info: Loot: Chardalyn Ring of the Ram This ring has 3 charges, and it regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. While wearing the ring, you can use an action to expend 1 to 3 of its charges to make a ranged spell attack against one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The ring produces a spectral ram’s head and makes its attack roll with a +7 bonus. On a hit, for each charge you spend, the target takes 2d10 force damage and is pushed 5 feet away from you. Alternatively, you can expend 1 to 3 of the ring’s charges as an action to try to break an object you can see within 60 feet of you that isn’t being worn or carried. The ring makes a Strength check with a +5 bonus for each charge you spend. Chardalyn: More than a hundred years prior to this adventure, a wizard named Akar Kessel found an artifact suffused with demonic magic called Crenshinibon (better known as the Crystal Shard) and used it to erect a great black tower in Icewind Dale. When this tower was destroyed, the magic used to create it fused with the surrounding ice to form what is now known as chardalyn: a nonmagical, crystalline substance as strong as metal, though considerably easier to work with than steel. In the years since, more deposits of chardalyn have been found across Icewind Dale. Like the Crystal Shard, these deposits tend to be suffused with demonic magic. Prolonged contact with chardalyn that has become suffused with demonic magic can warp a creature’s mind, causing madness that usually fades away once the contact is broken. Chardalyn is cold to the touch and readily accepts magical enchantment, making it an ideal substance for wands, staffs, and other magic items. A chardalyn object suffused with the magic of the Upper Planes is considered a consecrated object, while a chardalyn object suffused with the magic of the Lower Planes is considered a desecrated object; both can be identified as such using a detect evil and good spell or similar magic. Long before Akar Kessel left his mark on Icewind Dale, Netherese wizards created their own chardalyn. Many items made from this dark-colored crystal can be found in the ruins of ancient Netherese enclaves. Bag of Holding This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action. If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bag is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. Breathing creatures inside the bag can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate. Placing a bag of holding inside an extradimensional space created by a Heward’s handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened. |

Teilnehmer: Info: Ein Hain frostbedeckter Bäume füllt diese fünfzehn Meter hohe Höhle, deren Boden aus einer Mischung aus Erde und Eis besteht. Wie durch Zauberei oder ein Wunder leben die Bäume, ihre Kronen sind dicht mit frostigen Blättern bedeckt, und an ihren Ästen hängen violette Birnen wie Ornamente. Eine niedrige, an mehreren Stellen unterbrochene Mauer schlängelt sich durch den Hain, der von sechs Ausgängen umgeben ist. Loot: 2x Charm of Vicious Mockery Mantle of Spell Resistance You have advantage on saving throws against spells while you wear this cloak. Chardalyn Staff of Charming While holding this staff, you can use an action to expend 1 of its 10 charges to cast charm person, command, or comprehend languages from it using your spell save DC. The staff can also be used as a magic quarterstaff. If you are holding the staff and fail a saving throw against an enchantment spell that targets only you, you can turn your failed save into a successful one. You can’t use this property of the staff again until the next dawn. If you succeed on a save against an enchantment spell that targets only you, with or without the staff’s intervention, you can use your reaction to expend 1 charge from the staff and turn the spell back on its caster as if you had cast the spell. The staff regains 1d8 + 2 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff becomes a nonmagical quarterstaff. Damage: 1d6 Chardalyn: More than a hundred years prior to this adventure, a wizard named Akar Kessel found an artifact suffused with demonic magic called Crenshinibon (better known as the Crystal Shard) and used it to erect a great black tower in Icewind Dale.

Once used, the daylight effect can’t be used again until the next dawn. You can speak another command word as an action to make the illuminated globe rise into the air and float no more than 5 feet off the ground.

Teilnehmer: Info: In the center of the interior, crystal mannequins draped in finery encircle an empty pedestal. If a creature steps onto the pedestal, an illusion of a magnificently dressed human flickers to life before them and introduces itself as Silksmith Mixyll. The illusion welcomes the guest to its emporium and explains the robe-making process. As it speaks, the phase spiders descend silently and use their legs to take the creature’s measurements before spinning the creature a tailor-made robe. As the robe is being fashioned, Mixyll urges its guest to “imagine any image your heart desires.” The spiders can, in the 10 minutes it takes to create the robe, spin any illusory design or effect into the garment. On completion, they drape the robe over the creature’s shoulders and ascend back to their lair. Each guest can gain this benefit only once. Loot: Necklace of Fireballs (6xBeads) This necklace has 6 beads hanging from it. You can use an action to detach a bead and throw it up to 60 feet away. When it reaches the end of its trajectory, the bead detonates as a 3rd-level fireball spell (save DC 15). You can hurl multiple beads, or even the whole necklace, as one action. When you do so, increase the level of the fireball by 1 for each bead beyond the first. |

Reghed TribesfolkReghed nomads are the children of the Reghed Glacier, as suggested by their name. They are people of the wild, as revealed by their tribal names—the Elk, the Tiger, the Wolf, the Bear. They are the tribes of Icewind Dale, proud and strong, bound to ancient traditions that have kept them alive through countless harsh winters. The Reghed wear heavy furs as well as gloves, boots, and masks made of animal hide, to protect themselves from the bitter cold. Reghed tribe camps are scattered throughout Icewind Dale. None of them appear on maps because they don’t stay in one place for long. Each Reghed tribe is made up of smaller clans, each with its own chieftain (the most powerful of whom often carries the title of king or queen). A clan might set up its camp for a tenday or two, then dismantle it and go back on the move, allowing the clan to stay close to a migrating herd of reindeer as it travels across the tundra. Reghed tribesfolk are mostly human, but some tribes, especially the Wolf Tribe, “adopt” compatible individuals of other races who might want to join them out of necessity or desire. The Hierarchy of a Tribe King/Queen/Chieftain – the leader of the tribe. A tribe will have many dogs as sled dogs and guard dogs. Outlook on LifeThe Reghed nomads eke out a meagre existence on the desolate tundra of Icewind Dale, yet this is a life to which they are accustomed. Auril’s everlasting winter has made hunting and travel more challenging, to be sure, but the tribes are weathering these difficult times by rationing their food and letting nothing go to waste. If anything, the Frostmaiden’s cruelty has hardened the nomads’ determination to survive. By following herds for their food and occasionally restocking on wood, the Reghed can get by without relying on trade. They shun Ten-Towns and expect to prevail long after those feeble lights of civilization have been snuffed out. Food is critical, of course, and certain beasts of the tundra are staples among the Reghed tribes. Knucklehead trout and seals are often prepared for eating very near the scene of the kill, filleted or chopped and often eaten raw. Reindeer meat, on the other hand, must be cooked before consumption. Reindeer also provide the Reghed tribes with sinew, bone, and hide, all of which are used in the manufacture of weapons, clothing, and armour. Despite their determination, the Reghed tribes have declined over time. Lack of food – especially in the last year as the reindeer herds have depleted with less young being born – and tribal warfare with other Reghed nomads – usually over resources – have been major factors. But also battles with giants, yeti, orcs and even goblins have taken their toll. Some of the people of Ten-Towns are descended from the Reghed barbarians who settled in Caer-Konig and Bremen for a time. They abandoned their ancient traditions and self-sufficient lifestyle after they were decimated by the armies of Akar Kessell a hundred years ago. Many of their kin still roam the tundra, but Caer-Konig and Bremen in particular have significant populations of exceptionally tall men and women descended from the Reghed tribes. All tribe-folk are given names when born by their parents. Titles, however, are often used instead of names. Sometimes they are defined by an event that happened in a warrior’s life, or by a job or skill that the person excels at. Titles are often earned by committing an act worthy of a story, whether from bravery, stupidity, or comedy. Titles can change throughout a Tribe-folk’s life as different things happen to them or they develop/hone different skills. You’ll notice a few names are repeated – this is not uncommon, as Titles define people as much as names, so it’s fine to have a few Sigrids in one tribe as none will have the same Title. Some of these titles are self-explanatory, Bonebreaker, Gorehammer, Stronghide, Wolfs/Wyrm/Trollbane and Giantstrike would have been earned in combat. Mossfoot and The Neverseen have high stealth, Shadowsight is a crack shot, etc. A few obscure ones here are;
CairnsCairns are artificial landmarks made by piling up rocks, and are part of tribe life. Each tribe will make them as they make camp and they get left when they move on. Mostly rocks but also other things. They serve as a centrepiece of the campsite, which get added to with items as kills are made, or events happen. A ribbon dyed to represent a celebration, a carved tusk to show a birth. The longer a camp exists the bigger they are, and on rare occasions when mostly intact cairns are found they hold with them many memories.
The Remaining TribesUntil recently there were only four Reghed Tribes left in Icewind Dale – The Elk, Bear, Wolf, and Tiger tribes. Of these, the Elk tribe are the most prominent, with the Bear Tribe second in population. A new tribe has emerged – Tribe of the Yeti. These are made up of outcasts, the disenfranchised, the marginalised, those too violent for most tribes, led by a Reghed priestess of Auril named Careri. Tribe of the Bear The Tribe of the Bear inhabit the lands east and north east of Easthaven. This tribe have often been allied with whoever can offer them some kind of advantage. A decade ago they allied with the Ice WItch and were part of her army but were defeated when they attacked Ten Towns. They have not yet recovered from their losses. Internal strife has splintered what remains of the Bear Tribe today. The turmoil began shortly after a band of Bear Tribe hunters recovered pieces of black ice from the frozen corpses of several dwarves. Oblivious to the demonic magic suffusing the crystal, tribe members used the shards to fashion heads for their spears and axes. Contact with the crystal corrupted these warriors over time, turning them into black ice berserkers. Their cruelty forced the king to banish them from the tribe. These outcasts have since begun raiding Bear Tribe camps for sacrifices, which they offer up to Auril to gain the Frostmaiden’s favour. The Bear Tribe have always been isolationists, and the current King is very much in favour of continuing this policy. They minimise contact with civilised folk, only trading begrudgingly for metal weapons and tools, and stealing them as a preference. The Bear Tribe also choose to be apart from other Reghed tribes, and are more likely than any other tribe to engage in inter-tribal conflict. The Elk Tribe Of the four remaining Reghed tribes, the Tribe of the Elk is the largest and the most tolerant of outsiders. It’s also the tribe of the hero Wulfgar, son of Beornegar, hero of Ten-Towns, companion to Drizzt Do’Urden, and member of Companions of the Hall. The Elk Tribe inhabit the lands north east of Caer-Konig. Members of the Elk Tribe view the people of Ten-Towns as “tame folk,” who are ill bred and ill equipped for life in Icewind Dale. The tribe keeps its distance from Ten-Towns to avoid misunderstandings, since the appearance of Elk Tribe hunters near Ten-Towns has been known to panic Ten-Towners who live in constant fear of attack. The Tiger Tribe lives in the lands between the coast and Maer Dualdon. This tribe shuns the stronger Elk Tribe and preys on the more populous but currently weaker Bear Tribe as well as the Wolf tribe. Of all the Reghed tribes, the Tiger Tribe is the most comfortable preying on the weakness of their rivals as well as Ten-Towns. Their Queen, Bjornhild Solvigsdottir, is a fervent worshipper of Auril. Tribe of the Wolf The Wolf Tribe is the smallest of the four remaining Reghed tribes, and even its most optimistic members don’t think it will survive much longer under its current lack of leadership. The tribe lives in the lands between Dougan’s Hole and the Spine of the World. The tribe has been without a king or queen for years. The most powerful chieftain Isarr Kronenstrom, is known to be a worshipper of Malar and a sadistic brute. To swell its ranks, chieftains of the Wolf Tribe have resorted to bringing outsiders into the fold, including outcasts from Ten-Towns, disenfranchised members of other Reghed tribes, and even goblinoids. In addition the Wolf Tribe is engaged in a civil war between two factions – those that support Isarr Kronenstrom, and those allied with Aluka, another chieftain who believes allying the tribes with a deity of brutality is a mistake. Tribe of the Yeti Careri, a Reghed priestess of Auril, collects malcontents from the Reghed tribes under the promise of power and untethered war against the Ten Towns. Her pledge to the Reghed is to, in the name of Auril – the true power in Icewind Dale – build a Tribe of the Yeti more prosperous and savage than the other tribes. Together, they shall rule and hunt in the snow covered ruins of the southlanders. Careri’s elite warriors wear yeti furs to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. They fight with cruelty and hate and, if possible, leave no survivors. Rumours about the bloodthirsty tribe abound in the Ten Towns, spread by those few people who have witnessed an attack and survived, covered by the bodies of their fallen comrades. Tribe of the Seal The Reghed tribes of lcewind Dale are bound by an ancient taboo that prevents them from venturing out onto the Sea of Moving Ice, or “the floating land.” as they call it. Though shrouded in language of superstition, the edict is ultimately practical, for the risks of travelling on the ice far outweigh the potential rewards. The short-lived Tribe of the Seal, which emerged during the heyday of the tribes under Wulfgar’s leadership, violated that edict, and the people of the tribes often point to that transgression as an explanation for why the tribe did not survive. The few scattered hunter-gatherer humans who live in the Sea of Moving Ice are mostly remnants of that tribe. Charms and TokensEach tribesfolk child has an adult Reghed nomad assigned as a “guide”. The guide gives their child a small charm carved from bone or wood in the form of an animal, such as a seal or a polar bear. The charm has no supernatural of magical properties. Rather, it symbolises a trait associated with the animal the friend and the parents hope that the child will embody when he or she becomes an adult. The following are some typical charms and the traits they represent. Apart from a seal they never use an animal that is the totem of any of the Reghed tribes. Dog – Loyalty The child keeps his charm pinned inside of his sleeve or clipped to his belt at all times. As the child grows up, the friend who gave him the charm teaches him special songs associated with the animal and offers behavioural guidance associated with the represented trait. For instance, if the child received a seal charm, the friend shows the child how seals alternate periods of hunting with periods of play, demonstrating that both work and recreation are vital to a balanced life. A child with a fox charm is taken into the wilderness and shown how a fox waits quietly for hours on end for its prey to appear, demonstrating the benefits of patience. |

Teilnehmer: Info: Vellynn Search: Dannika´s Chwinga Research: Auf der Reise von Bryn Shander nach Targos war es recht ereignislos doch alls sie die Stadt betraten ergab sich ohnen ein Schrecklicher anblick. Ein Mann war in der mitte des großen Platzes völlig nackt an einen Pfal gebunden und mit Eiswasser überschüttet. Uns wurde erklärt das dieser in er loterie gewonnen hatte. Skalli wusste das dies ein Auril Opfer war doch die anderen fragten die leute die darum standen und flüsstern. Diese erklärten das der Naerth Maxildanarr der Sprächer von Targos hat vorgeschlagen Opfer an Auril zu bringen nachdem. Vurnis Frostdruidin (Die Skallis Clan vesucht hat davon zu überzeugen Opfer an die Frostmaid zu bringen, doch die Clanführerin hat es abgelehnt) die mit einen Weiteren Druiden in die Stadt kam. Nachdem wir Bryn Shander hinter uns gelassen hatten, führte uns der Weg durch das gefrorene Herz der Zehn-Städte. Auf dem Weg nach Termalaine machten wir zunächst Halt in Targos – doch statt willkommen geheißen zu werden, wurden wir Zeugen eines Anblicks, der selbst uns abgehärtete Reisende verstummen ließ. Mitten auf dem großen Platz stand ein Mann, nackt und bis auf die Knochen durchgefroren, an einen Pfahl gebunden. Man hatte ihn mit Eiswasser übergossen – ein Todesurteil in dieser Kälte. Die Stimme in meinem Inneren sagte sofort: Ein Opfer an Auril. Die anderen fragten nach. Die Antwort kam leise und schuldbewusst: Naerth Maxildanarr, Sprecher von Targos, hatte vorgeschlagen, Menschen an die Frostmaid zu opfern – beeinflusst durch eine Druidenfrau namens Vurnis. Vurnis... eine, die auch meinen Clan zu bekehren versuchte. Doch unsere Führerin hatte sich ihr widersetzt. Ich war stolz. Und wütend. Meine Hand blutete, als ich sie zu fest zur Faust ballte. Wir erfuhren, dass Vurnis' Bruder, Ravisin, inzwischen nach Lonelywood weitergezogen war – mit weiteren dunklen Absichten. Doch für jetzt galt unsere Aufmerksamkeit Termalaine. Der Weg dorthin war zuerst ruhig – bis uns zwei Cragcats aus dem Hinterhalt angriffen. Mit Aerlyns Hilfe konnte ich eine der Raubkatzen sauber abhäuten und das Fleisch verarbeiten – genug für ein gutes Mahl. Doch die Zeit, die wir dafür brauchten, kostete uns das Tageslicht. Statt in der Stadt einzutreffen, schlugen wir ein Lager im offenen Gelände auf. In meiner Nachtwache roch ich ihn zuerst – schwer, tierisch, gefährlich. Ein Owlbär pirschte sich heran. Ich schlug Alarm. Beru sprang aus dem Zelt und brüllte das Biest an, mit einer Autorität, die selbst mich beeindruckte. Ich stimmte mit einem tiefen Knurren ein. Der Owlbär zog sich zurück – keine Verletzten, kein Kampf. Nur Respekt. Am nächsten Morgen erreichten wir Termalaine. Noch vor der Stadt trafen wir auf zwei Fremde. Die eine stellte sich als Vellynne Harpell vor, eine Zauberin der Arkanen Bruderschaft aus Luskan. Alt, grimmig, aber bestimmt. Sie bat uns nicht direkt um Hilfe – vielmehr äußerte sie eine Bitte: „Eine Kollegin von mir, Nass Lantomir, ist hier irgendwo in den Zehn-Städten unterwegs. Dunkles Haar, Brille, eine etwa so große Quarzkugel. Wenn ihr sie seht – gebt mir Bescheid. 25 Gold für jeden Hinweis.“ Als sie sich umdrehte, sah ich ihre „Leibwache“ – drei Kobolde, in einem übergroßen Mantel übereinandergestapelt. Ich lachte so laut, dass selbst Aerlyn zusammenzuckte. Begleitet wurde Vellynne von Dannika Graustahl, einer eifrigen Forscherin, die versuchte, das Klima Icewind Dales zu studieren – und zu verändern. Sie übergab uns magische Fährtenleser-Laternen, um sogenannte Chwinga zu finden – kleine Naturgeister, die hier irgendwo durch den Schnee huschten. Sie meinte, sie könnten uns helfen. Ich war skeptisch. Aber ich nahm die Laterne trotzdem. Am nächsten Morgen war ich nicht in Bestform. Kylan hatte sich eine Krippe eingefangen und blieb zurück – er wollte später nachkommen. Ich hingegen... nun ja, ich bin kein Morgenmensch. Als Elric versuchte, mir die Karten vom Frühstückstisch zu wischen, um besser zu lesen, reagierte ich... merkwürdig. Ich musste raus. Beru folgte mir. Wir gingen gemeinsam zu den Ställen, um ihre Reittiere zu holen. Als Beru mir ein Stück Fleisch von seinem Tier zuwarf, fing ich es instinktiv – mit dem Mund. Ja... das war unangenehm. Ich glaube, ich habe geglüht. Zurück auf dem Markt trafen wir eine ältere Bettlerin, die sich an Elric heranmachte. Er kaufte ihr Diebeswerkzeug ab – nur um festzustellen, dass sie Beldora war, eine Späherin der Harfner. Sie warnte ihn: „Pass auf dich auf.“ Dann verschwand sie wieder in der Menge, als wäre sie nie da gewesen. Ausblick: Skalli spürte: Die Kälte ist nicht das Schlimmste hier draußen. Loot: Lantern of Tracking (Elementals) 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. |

Teilnehmer: Info: (noch eine Nacht entspannen, Infos Sammeln, was trinken -> bei Trance Water Vehicles besorgen -> am nächsten Morgen ab auf den See mit dem Boot) Nach einer Rückkehr nach Bryn Shander mussten wir zuerst eine dringende Angelegenheit klären: Elric war durch den unheimlichen Geist in der Mine um zwanzig Jahre gealtert. Im Haus des Morgenherrn, einem Tempel Lathanders, gelang es schließlich, diesen Fluch zu brechen. Doch der Preis war hoch – und der Schrecken saß tief. Zurück in der Taverne versuchten wir, die Kristallscherben und die Hinweise auf die Opferungen an Auril zu untersuchen. Skalli trank in der Zwischenzeit... mehr, als sie sollte. Irgendwann wurde sie etwas zu zutraulich gegenüber Elric, legte sich auf seinen Schoß und schlief dort schließlich ein. Beru brachte sie später ins Bett. In der Nacht wurde Skalli von unruhigen Träumen heimgesucht – von Schnee, endloser Dunkelheit und einem kalten, blauen Auge, das sie durchdrang. Sie wachte mit einem Gefühl tiefen Unbehagens auf. Am nächsten Morgen reisten wir nach Targos – und fanden dort, was keiner von uns sich je gewünscht hätte: Kylan, unser Gefährte, war tot. Sein Körper war eingefroren, durchbohrt und aufgespießt von einem Zauber, der stärker war als alles, was wir kannten – Frostknife konnte es nicht gewesen sein. Rund um seinen Leichnam formte sich das Zeichen Aurils im Schnee. Er war von hinten erstochen worden, offenbar schon am Vortag. Bei ihm fanden wir eine Karte, die eine Route einer Karawane zeigte – sie reiste rund um den Maer Dualdon. Ein weiterer Hinweis in der Mörderquest, die uns schon seit Bryn Shander verfolgt hatte. Mit schwerem Herzen reisten wir weiter nach Bremen, wo uns bereits der schrullige Sprecher Dorbulgruf Shalescar erwartete – ein über sechshundert Jahre alter, leicht seniler Zwerg. Erst begrüßte uns Grynsk Berylbore, ein misstrauischer Fischer, der uns mit Argwohn begegnete. Doch als Tali, ein halbelfischer Naturforscher, uns erkannte, änderte sich die Stimmung. Tali hatte uns die Quest überhaupt erst vermittelt: Ein Seemonster im Maer Dualdon, das die Fischer in Angst versetzte. Er vermutete, dass der endlose Winter dessen Verhalten verändert hatte. Wir verbrachten eine Nacht im Ort, sammelten Informationen, besorgten ein Boot bei Trance Water Vehicles, tranken etwas – manche mehr als geplant – und legten am nächsten Morgen ab. Zwei kleine Boote glitten hinaus in den Nebel. Während wir auf dem See Knucklehead-Forellen angeln, sammelten wir Hinweise: Vögel, Spuren, Bewegungsmuster. Bald war uns klar: Es handelte sich um einen erweckten Plesiosaurier – ein urtümliches Wesen, das auf magische Weise intelligent geworden war. Dann erschien sie: „Ich höre.“ Wir nannten sie Nessie. Nessie erzählte uns von ihrer Erwachung – durch eine Druidin namens Ravisin, die sich selbst als Dienerin der Frostmaid bezeichnete. Ravisin hatte ihr befohlen, Angst unter Bremens Fischern zu verbreiten, als Teil von Aurils Willen. Nessie hatte Angst, dass sie ihre Intelligenz verlieren würde, wenn sie sich weigerte. Wir erklärten ihr, dass diese Gabe dauerhaft war – dass sie niemals wieder ein dummes Tier sein würde. Nessie zögerte. Dann versprach sie uns, keine Fischer mehr anzugreifen. Zurück in Bremen erwartete uns bereits Grynsk, der neugierig nach der Ausbeute fragte. Wir gaben ihm die gefangenen Forellen – und er bezahlte wie versprochen, wenn auch knausrig: 5 Kupfer pro Fisch. Tali war begeistert über den friedlichen Ausgang und schenkte uns als Dank eine Schriftrolle für Tierfreundschaft sowie einen kleinen Beutel mit 5 Goldmünzen. Er zog sich ins Gasthaus Buried Treasures zurück, um seine Notizen zu studieren. Dort trafen wir auch auf Marta Peskryk, eine willowy junge Bardin aus dem Eastside Inn in Termalaine. Sie war nach Bremen gereist, um Medizin für ihren kranken Vater Clyde zu besorgen. Abends sang sie ein altes Lied: Ahead of winter’s wind she came— Sie erzählte von einer mysteriösen Frau im roten Mantel, die vor über fünfzig Jahren im Eastside Inn Zuflucht gesucht hatte – nur um von einem bösen Wind heimgesucht zu werden. Die Frau verschwand spurlos. Marta erbte den Ring, den sie damals als Bezahlung hinterließ – einen Ring der Wärme. Überzeugt, dass wir den Fluch des Winters brechen könnten, schenkte sie uns den Ring als Glücksbringer. Am Morgen beim Frühstück konnte die Wirtin Cora Mulphoon ihre Fassade nicht mehr aufrechterhalten. Sie brach vor uns zusammen – nicht wegen der Wirtschaft, sondern wegen ihres Sohnes Huarwar, der vor zwei Monaten verschwand. Er war mit einer Suchgruppe aufgebrochen, um den Sprecher zu finden, kehrte frostverletzt zurück – verändert. Kalt. Aggressiv. Kurz darauf tauchten zwei Tieflinge auf, trugen Amulette aus schwarzem Eis, genau wie das, was Cora in Huarwars Zimmer gefunden hatte. Er ging mit ihnen – freiwillig – und sagte, er würde nie zurückkehren. Sie erinnerte sich vage an ein Wort: „Schloss“. Und sie wusste, es gibt nur zwei: Skallis Gedanken: Eis, das verändert. Magie, die lügt. Druidinnen, die Tiere zu Werkzeugen machen. Und nun Kinder, die sich in Monster verwandeln... Der Winter frisst sich tiefer in die Herzen der Menschen, als ich es für möglich hielt. |

Continual Flame von Elric Abgecastet auf lvl 4 Loot: Trident +2 You have a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. Professor Skant Professor Skant. The professor orb owned by Vellynne Harpell and stolen by Nass Lantomir calls itself Professor Skant. It is lawful good, and it has a Wisdom of 11 and a Charisma of 9. It speaks and reads Common, Draconic, Elvish, and Loross (the dead language of the Empire of Netheril). Professor Skant is a chatterbox and assumes all humanoids are dunderheads. When elaborating on its areas of expertise, it adopts an unintentionally patronizing tone. It has the following four areas of expertise:
A professor orb is a smooth 5-pound sphere of smoky gray quartz about the size of a grapefruit. Close examination reveals two or more pinpricks of silver light coming from deep inside the sphere. The orb is sentient and has the personality of a scholar. Its alignment is determined by rolling on the alignment table in the “Sentient Magic Items” section in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Regardless of its alignment, the orb has an Intelligence of 18, and Wisdom and Charisma scores determined by rolling 3d6 for each ability. The orb speaks, reads, and understands four languages, and it can see and hear normally out to a range of 60 feet. Unlike most other sentient items, the orb has no goals of its own and can’t initiate a conflict with the creature in possession of it. The orb has extensive knowledge of four narrow academic subjects. When making an Intelligence check to recall lore from any of its areas of expertise, the orb has a +9 bonus to its roll (including its Intelligence modifier). In addition to the knowledge it possesses, the orb can cast the mage hand cantrip at will. It uses the spell only to transport itself. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence. |

Teilnehmer: Info: Loot: Chardalyn Ring of the Ram This ring has 3 charges, and it regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. While wearing the ring, you can use an action to expend 1 to 3 of its charges to make a ranged spell attack against one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The ring produces a spectral ram’s head and makes its attack roll with a +7 bonus. On a hit, for each charge you spend, the target takes 2d10 force damage and is pushed 5 feet away from you. Alternatively, you can expend 1 to 3 of the ring’s charges as an action to try to break an object you can see within 60 feet of you that isn’t being worn or carried. The ring makes a Strength check with a +5 bonus for each charge you spend. Chardalyn: More than a hundred years prior to this adventure, a wizard named Akar Kessel found an artifact suffused with demonic magic called Crenshinibon (better known as the Crystal Shard) and used it to erect a great black tower in Icewind Dale. When this tower was destroyed, the magic used to create it fused with the surrounding ice to form what is now known as chardalyn: a nonmagical, crystalline substance as strong as metal, though considerably easier to work with than steel. In the years since, more deposits of chardalyn have been found across Icewind Dale. Like the Crystal Shard, these deposits tend to be suffused with demonic magic. Prolonged contact with chardalyn that has become suffused with demonic magic can warp a creature’s mind, causing madness that usually fades away once the contact is broken. Chardalyn is cold to the touch and readily accepts magical enchantment, making it an ideal substance for wands, staffs, and other magic items. A chardalyn object suffused with the magic of the Upper Planes is considered a consecrated object, while a chardalyn object suffused with the magic of the Lower Planes is considered a desecrated object; both can be identified as such using a detect evil and good spell or similar magic. Long before Akar Kessel left his mark on Icewind Dale, Netherese wizards created their own chardalyn. Many items made from this dark-colored crystal can be found in the ruins of ancient Netherese enclaves. Bag of Holding This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action. If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bag is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. Breathing creatures inside the bag can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate. Placing a bag of holding inside an extradimensional space created by a Heward’s handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened. |

Wie durch Zauberei oder ein Wunder leben die Bäume, ihre Kronen sind dicht mit frostigen Blättern bedeckt, und an ihren Ästen hängen violette Birnen wie Ornamente. Eine niedrige, an mehreren Stellen unterbrochene Mauer schlängelt sich durch den Hain, der von sechs Ausgängen umgeben ist. Loot: 2x Charm of Vicious Mockery Mantle of Spell Resistance You have advantage on saving throws against spells while you wear this cloak. Chardalyn Staff of Charming While holding this staff, you can use an action to expend 1 of its 10 charges to cast charm person, command, or comprehend languages from it using your spell save DC. The staff can also be used as a magic quarterstaff. If you are holding the staff and fail a saving throw against an enchantment spell that targets only you, you can turn your failed save into a successful one. You can’t use this property of the staff again until the next dawn. If you succeed on a save against an enchantment spell that targets only you, with or without the staff’s intervention, you can use your reaction to expend 1 charge from the staff and turn the spell back on its caster as if you had cast the spell. The staff regains 1d8 + 2 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff becomes a nonmagical quarterstaff. Damage: 1d6 Chardalyn: More than a hundred years prior to this adventure, a wizard named Akar Kessel found an artifact suffused with demonic magic called Crenshinibon (better known as the Crystal Shard) and used it to erect a great black tower in Icewind Dale.

Teilnehmer: Info: Haben mehrere Tower untersucht und ein Kettenblitz-Spiel gespielt und dabei eine Trophehe erhalten. (Osric ist auf den Bänken dabei eingenickt.) Loot: Driftglobe This small sphere of thick glass weighs 1 pound. If you are within 60 feet of it, you can speak its command word and cause it to emanate the light or daylight spell. Once used, the daylight effect can’t be used again until the next dawn. You can speak another command word as an action to make the illuminated globe rise into the air and float no more than 5 feet off the ground. The globe hovers in this way until you or another creature grasps it. If you move more than 60 feet from the hovering globe, it follows you until it is within 60 feet of you. It takes the shortest route to do so. If prevented from moving, the globe sinks gently to the ground and becomes inactive, and its light winks out. The Trophy of Good Luck (Stone of good luck) The trophy cup is made from mithral embedded with three blue spinel gemstones and is worth 1,800 gp. While carried by a member of the winning team, it functions as a stone of good luck. While this polished agate is on your person, you gain a +1 bonus to ability checks and saving throws. |

Teilnehmer: Info: In the center of the interior, crystal mannequins draped in finery encircle an empty pedestal. If a creature steps onto the pedestal, an illusion of a magnificently dressed human flickers to life before them and introduces itself as Silksmith Mixyll. The illusion welcomes the guest to its emporium and explains the robe-making process. As it speaks, the phase spiders descend silently and use their legs to take the creature’s measurements before spinning the creature a tailor-made robe. As the robe is being fashioned, Mixyll urges its guest to “imagine any image your heart desires.” The spiders can, in the 10 minutes it takes to create the robe, spin any illusory design or effect into the garment. On completion, they drape the robe over the creature’s shoulders and ascend back to their lair. Each guest can gain this benefit only once. Loot: Necklace of Fireballs (6xBeads) This necklace has 6 beads hanging from it. You can use an action to detach a bead and throw it up to 60 feet away. When it reaches the end of its trajectory, the bead detonates as a 3rd-level fireball spell (save DC 15). You can hurl multiple beads, or even the whole necklace, as one action. When you do so, increase the level of the fireball by 1 for each bead beyond the first. |

Reghed TribesfolkReghed nomads are the children of the Reghed Glacier, as suggested by their name. They are people of the wild, as revealed by their tribal names—the Elk, the Tiger, the Wolf, the Bear. They are the tribes of Icewind Dale, proud and strong, bound to ancient traditions that have kept them alive through countless harsh winters. The Reghed wear heavy furs as well as gloves, boots, and masks made of animal hide, to protect themselves from the bitter cold. Reghed tribe camps are scattered throughout Icewind Dale. None of them appear on maps because they don’t stay in one place for long. Each Reghed tribe is made up of smaller clans, each with its own chieftain (the most powerful of whom often carries the title of king or queen). A clan might set up its camp for a tenday or two, then dismantle it and go back on the move, allowing the clan to stay close to a migrating herd of reindeer as it travels across the tundra. Reghed tribesfolk are mostly human, but some tribes, especially the Wolf Tribe, “adopt” compatible individuals of other races who might want to join them out of necessity or desire. The Hierarchy of a Tribe King/Queen/Chieftain – the leader of the tribe. A tribe will have many dogs as sled dogs and guard dogs. Outlook on LifeThe Reghed nomads eke out a meagre existence on the desolate tundra of Icewind Dale, yet this is a life to which they are accustomed. Auril’s everlasting winter has made hunting and travel more challenging, to be sure, but the tribes are weathering these difficult times by rationing their food and letting nothing go to waste. If anything, the Frostmaiden’s cruelty has hardened the nomads’ determination to survive. By following herds for their food and occasionally restocking on wood, the Reghed can get by without relying on trade. They shun Ten-Towns and expect to prevail long after those feeble lights of civilization have been snuffed out. Food is critical, of course, and certain beasts of the tundra are staples among the Reghed tribes. Knucklehead trout and seals are often prepared for eating very near the scene of the kill, filleted or chopped and often eaten raw. Reindeer meat, on the other hand, must be cooked before consumption. Reindeer also provide the Reghed tribes with sinew, bone, and hide, all of which are used in the manufacture of weapons, clothing, and armour. Despite their determination, the Reghed tribes have declined over time. Lack of food – especially in the last year as the reindeer herds have depleted with less young being born – and tribal warfare with other Reghed nomads – usually over resources – have been major factors. But also battles with giants, yeti, orcs and even goblins have taken their toll. Some of the people of Ten-Towns are descended from the Reghed barbarians who settled in Caer-Konig and Bremen for a time. They abandoned their ancient traditions and self-sufficient lifestyle after they were decimated by the armies of Akar Kessell a hundred years ago. Many of their kin still roam the tundra, but Caer-Konig and Bremen in particular have significant populations of exceptionally tall men and women descended from the Reghed tribes. All tribe-folk are given names when born by their parents. Titles, however, are often used instead of names. Sometimes they are defined by an event that happened in a warrior’s life, or by a job or skill that the person excels at. Titles are often earned by committing an act worthy of a story, whether from bravery, stupidity, or comedy. Titles can change throughout a Tribe-folk’s life as different things happen to them or they develop/hone different skills. You’ll notice a few names are repeated – this is not uncommon, as Titles define people as much as names, so it’s fine to have a few Sigrids in one tribe as none will have the same Title. Some of these titles are self-explanatory, Bonebreaker, Gorehammer, Stronghide, Wolfs/Wyrm/Trollbane and Giantstrike would have been earned in combat. Mossfoot and The Neverseen have high stealth, Shadowsight is a crack shot, etc. A few obscure ones here are;
CairnsCairns are artificial landmarks made by piling up rocks, and are part of tribe life. Each tribe will make them as they make camp and they get left when they move on. Mostly rocks but also other things. They serve as a centrepiece of the campsite, which get added to with items as kills are made, or events happen. A ribbon dyed to represent a celebration, a carved tusk to show a birth. The longer a camp exists the bigger they are, and on rare occasions when mostly intact cairns are found they hold with them many memories.
The Remaining TribesUntil recently there were only four Reghed Tribes left in Icewind Dale – The Elk, Bear, Wolf, and Tiger tribes. Of these, the Elk tribe are the most prominent, with the Bear Tribe second in population. A new tribe has emerged – Tribe of the Yeti. These are made up of outcasts, the disenfranchised, the marginalised, those too violent for most tribes, led by a Reghed priestess of Auril named Careri. Tribe of the Bear The Tribe of the Bear inhabit the lands east and north east of Easthaven. This tribe have often been allied with whoever can offer them some kind of advantage. A decade ago they allied with the Ice WItch and were part of her army but were defeated when they attacked Ten Towns. They have not yet recovered from their losses. Internal strife has splintered what remains of the Bear Tribe today. The turmoil began shortly after a band of Bear Tribe hunters recovered pieces of black ice from the frozen corpses of several dwarves. Oblivious to the demonic magic suffusing the crystal, tribe members used the shards to fashion heads for their spears and axes. Contact with the crystal corrupted these warriors over time, turning them into black ice berserkers. Their cruelty forced the king to banish them from the tribe. These outcasts have since begun raiding Bear Tribe camps for sacrifices, which they offer up to Auril to gain the Frostmaiden’s favour. The Bear Tribe have always been isolationists, and the current King is very much in favour of continuing this policy. They minimise contact with civilised folk, only trading begrudgingly for metal weapons and tools, and stealing them as a preference. The Bear Tribe also choose to be apart from other Reghed tribes, and are more likely than any other tribe to engage in inter-tribal conflict. The Elk Tribe Of the four remaining Reghed tribes, the Tribe of the Elk is the largest and the most tolerant of outsiders. It’s also the tribe of the hero Wulfgar, son of Beornegar, hero of Ten-Towns, companion to Drizzt Do’Urden, and member of Companions of the Hall. The Elk Tribe inhabit the lands north east of Caer-Konig. Members of the Elk Tribe view the people of Ten-Towns as “tame folk,” who are ill bred and ill equipped for life in Icewind Dale. The tribe keeps its distance from Ten-Towns to avoid misunderstandings, since the appearance of Elk Tribe hunters near Ten-Towns has been known to panic Ten-Towners who live in constant fear of attack. The Tiger Tribe lives in the lands between the coast and Maer Dualdon. This tribe shuns the stronger Elk Tribe and preys on the more populous but currently weaker Bear Tribe as well as the Wolf tribe. Of all the Reghed tribes, the Tiger Tribe is the most comfortable preying on the weakness of their rivals as well as Ten-Towns. Their Queen, Bjornhild Solvigsdottir, is a fervent worshipper of Auril. Tribe of the Wolf The Wolf Tribe is the smallest of the four remaining Reghed tribes, and even its most optimistic members don’t think it will survive much longer under its current lack of leadership. The tribe lives in the lands between Dougan’s Hole and the Spine of the World. The tribe has been without a king or queen for years. The most powerful chieftain Isarr Kronenstrom, is known to be a worshipper of Malar and a sadistic brute. To swell its ranks, chieftains of the Wolf Tribe have resorted to bringing outsiders into the fold, including outcasts from Ten-Towns, disenfranchised members of other Reghed tribes, and even goblinoids. In addition the Wolf Tribe is engaged in a civil war between two factions – those that support Isarr Kronenstrom, and those allied with Aluka, another chieftain who believes allying the tribes with a deity of brutality is a mistake. Tribe of the Yeti Careri, a Reghed priestess of Auril, collects malcontents from the Reghed tribes under the promise of power and untethered war against the Ten Towns. Her pledge to the Reghed is to, in the name of Auril – the true power in Icewind Dale – build a Tribe of the Yeti more prosperous and savage than the other tribes. Together, they shall rule and hunt in the snow covered ruins of the southlanders. Careri’s elite warriors wear yeti furs to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. They fight with cruelty and hate and, if possible, leave no survivors. Rumours about the bloodthirsty tribe abound in the Ten Towns, spread by those few people who have witnessed an attack and survived, covered by the bodies of their fallen comrades. Tribe of the Seal The Reghed tribes of lcewind Dale are bound by an ancient taboo that prevents them from venturing out onto the Sea of Moving Ice, or “the floating land.” as they call it. Though shrouded in language of superstition, the edict is ultimately practical, for the risks of travelling on the ice far outweigh the potential rewards. The short-lived Tribe of the Seal, which emerged during the heyday of the tribes under Wulfgar’s leadership, violated that edict, and the people of the tribes often point to that transgression as an explanation for why the tribe did not survive. The few scattered hunter-gatherer humans who live in the Sea of Moving Ice are mostly remnants of that tribe. Charms and TokensEach tribesfolk child has an adult Reghed nomad assigned as a “guide”. The guide gives their child a small charm carved from bone or wood in the form of an animal, such as a seal or a polar bear. The charm has no supernatural of magical properties. Rather, it symbolises a trait associated with the animal the friend and the parents hope that the child will embody when he or she becomes an adult. The following are some typical charms and the traits they represent. Apart from a seal they never use an animal that is the totem of any of the Reghed tribes. Dog – Loyalty The child keeps his charm pinned inside of his sleeve or clipped to his belt at all times. As the child grows up, the friend who gave him the charm teaches him special songs associated with the animal and offers behavioural guidance associated with the represented trait. For instance, if the child received a seal charm, the friend shows the child how seals alternate periods of hunting with periods of play, demonstrating that both work and recreation are vital to a balanced life. A child with a fox charm is taken into the wilderness and shown how a fox waits quietly for hours on end for its prey to appear, demonstrating the benefits of patience. |

Teilnehmer: Info: Vellynn Search: Dannika´s Chwinga Research: Auf der Reise von Bryn Shander nach Targos war es recht ereignislos doch alls sie die Stadt betraten ergab sich ohnen ein Schrecklicher anblick. Ein Mann war in der mitte des großen Platzes völlig nackt an einen Pfal gebunden und mit Eiswasser überschüttet. Uns wurde erklärt das dieser in er loterie gewonnen hatte. Skalli wusste das dies ein Auril Opfer war doch die anderen fragten die leute die darum standen und flüsstern. Diese erklärten das der Naerth Maxildanarr der Sprächer von Targos hat vorgeschlagen Opfer an Auril zu bringen nachdem. Vurnis Frostdruidin (Die Skallis Clan vesucht hat davon zu überzeugen Opfer an die Frostmaid zu bringen, doch die Clanführerin hat es abgelehnt) die mit einen Weiteren Druiden in die Stadt kam. Nachdem wir Bryn Shander hinter uns gelassen hatten, führte uns der Weg durch das gefrorene Herz der Zehn-Städte. Auf dem Weg nach Termalaine machten wir zunächst Halt in Targos – doch statt willkommen geheißen zu werden, wurden wir Zeugen eines Anblicks, der selbst uns abgehärtete Reisende verstummen ließ. Mitten auf dem großen Platz stand ein Mann, nackt und bis auf die Knochen durchgefroren, an einen Pfahl gebunden. Man hatte ihn mit Eiswasser übergossen – ein Todesurteil in dieser Kälte. Die Stimme in meinem Inneren sagte sofort: Ein Opfer an Auril. Die anderen fragten nach. Die Antwort kam leise und schuldbewusst: Naerth Maxildanarr, Sprecher von Targos, hatte vorgeschlagen, Menschen an die Frostmaid zu opfern – beeinflusst durch eine Druidenfrau namens Vurnis. Vurnis... eine, die auch meinen Clan zu bekehren versuchte. Doch unsere Führerin hatte sich ihr widersetzt. Ich war stolz. Und wütend. Meine Hand blutete, als ich sie zu fest zur Faust ballte. Wir erfuhren, dass Vurnis' Bruder, Ravisin, inzwischen nach Lonelywood weitergezogen war – mit weiteren dunklen Absichten. Doch für jetzt galt unsere Aufmerksamkeit Termalaine. Der Weg dorthin war zuerst ruhig – bis uns zwei Cragcats aus dem Hinterhalt angriffen. Mit Aerlyns Hilfe konnte ich eine der Raubkatzen sauber abhäuten und das Fleisch verarbeiten – genug für ein gutes Mahl. Doch die Zeit, die wir dafür brauchten, kostete uns das Tageslicht. Statt in der Stadt einzutreffen, schlugen wir ein Lager im offenen Gelände auf. In meiner Nachtwache roch ich ihn zuerst – schwer, tierisch, gefährlich. Ein Owlbär pirschte sich heran. Ich schlug Alarm. Beru sprang aus dem Zelt und brüllte das Biest an, mit einer Autorität, die selbst mich beeindruckte. Ich stimmte mit einem tiefen Knurren ein. Der Owlbär zog sich zurück – keine Verletzten, kein Kampf. Nur Respekt. Am nächsten Morgen erreichten wir Termalaine. Noch vor der Stadt trafen wir auf zwei Fremde. Die eine stellte sich als Vellynne Harpell vor, eine Zauberin der Arkanen Bruderschaft aus Luskan. Alt, grimmig, aber bestimmt. Sie bat uns nicht direkt um Hilfe – vielmehr äußerte sie eine Bitte: „Eine Kollegin von mir, Nass Lantomir, ist hier irgendwo in den Zehn-Städten unterwegs. Dunkles Haar, Brille, eine etwa so große Quarzkugel. Wenn ihr sie seht – gebt mir Bescheid. 25 Gold für jeden Hinweis.“ Als sie sich umdrehte, sah ich ihre „Leibwache“ – drei Kobolde, in einem übergroßen Mantel übereinandergestapelt. Ich lachte so laut, dass selbst Aerlyn zusammenzuckte. Begleitet wurde Vellynne von Dannika Graustahl, einer eifrigen Forscherin, die versuchte, das Klima Icewind Dales zu studieren – und zu verändern. Sie übergab uns magische Fährtenleser-Laternen, um sogenannte Chwinga zu finden – kleine Naturgeister, die hier irgendwo durch den Schnee huschten. Sie meinte, sie könnten uns helfen. Ich war skeptisch. Aber ich nahm die Laterne trotzdem. Am nächsten Morgen war ich nicht in Bestform. Kylan hatte sich eine Krippe eingefangen und blieb zurück – er wollte später nachkommen. Ich hingegen... nun ja, ich bin kein Morgenmensch. Als Elric versuchte, mir die Karten vom Frühstückstisch zu wischen, um besser zu lesen, reagierte ich... merkwürdig. Ich musste raus. Beru folgte mir. Wir gingen gemeinsam zu den Ställen, um ihre Reittiere zu holen. Als Beru mir ein Stück Fleisch von seinem Tier zuwarf, fing ich es instinktiv – mit dem Mund. Ja... das war unangenehm. Ich glaube, ich habe geglüht. Zurück auf dem Markt trafen wir eine ältere Bettlerin, die sich an Elric heranmachte. Er kaufte ihr Diebeswerkzeug ab – nur um festzustellen, dass sie Beldora war, eine Späherin der Harfner. Sie warnte ihn: „Pass auf dich auf.“ Dann verschwand sie wieder in der Menge, als wäre sie nie da gewesen. Ausblick: Skalli spürte: Die Kälte ist nicht das Schlimmste hier draußen. Loot: Lantern of Tracking (Elementals) 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. |

Teilnehmer: Info: (noch eine Nacht entspannen, Infos Sammeln, was trinken -> bei Trance Water Vehicles besorgen -> am nächsten Morgen ab auf den See mit dem Boot) Nach einer Rückkehr nach Bryn Shander mussten wir zuerst eine dringende Angelegenheit klären: Elric war durch den unheimlichen Geist in der Mine um zwanzig Jahre gealtert. Im Haus des Morgenherrn, einem Tempel Lathanders, gelang es schließlich, diesen Fluch zu brechen. Doch der Preis war hoch – und der Schrecken saß tief. Zurück in der Taverne versuchten wir, die Kristallscherben und die Hinweise auf die Opferungen an Auril zu untersuchen. Skalli trank in der Zwischenzeit... mehr, als sie sollte. Irgendwann wurde sie etwas zu zutraulich gegenüber Elric, legte sich auf seinen Schoß und schlief dort schließlich ein. Beru brachte sie später ins Bett. In der Nacht wurde Skalli von unruhigen Träumen heimgesucht – von Schnee, endloser Dunkelheit und einem kalten, blauen Auge, das sie durchdrang. Sie wachte mit einem Gefühl tiefen Unbehagens auf. Am nächsten Morgen reisten wir nach Targos – und fanden dort, was keiner von uns sich je gewünscht hätte: Kylan, unser Gefährte, war tot. Sein Körper war eingefroren, durchbohrt und aufgespießt von einem Zauber, der stärker war als alles, was wir kannten – Frostknife konnte es nicht gewesen sein. Rund um seinen Leichnam formte sich das Zeichen Aurils im Schnee. Er war von hinten erstochen worden, offenbar schon am Vortag. Bei ihm fanden wir eine Karte, die eine Route einer Karawane zeigte – sie reiste rund um den Maer Dualdon. Ein weiterer Hinweis in der Mörderquest, die uns schon seit Bryn Shander verfolgt hatte. Mit schwerem Herzen reisten wir weiter nach Bremen, wo uns bereits der schrullige Sprecher Dorbulgruf Shalescar erwartete – ein über sechshundert Jahre alter, leicht seniler Zwerg. Erst begrüßte uns Grynsk Berylbore, ein misstrauischer Fischer, der uns mit Argwohn begegnete. Doch als Tali, ein halbelfischer Naturforscher, uns erkannte, änderte sich die Stimmung. Tali hatte uns die Quest überhaupt erst vermittelt: Ein Seemonster im Maer Dualdon, das die Fischer in Angst versetzte. Er vermutete, dass der endlose Winter dessen Verhalten verändert hatte. Wir verbrachten eine Nacht im Ort, sammelten Informationen, besorgten ein Boot bei Trance Water Vehicles, tranken etwas – manche mehr als geplant – und legten am nächsten Morgen ab. Zwei kleine Boote glitten hinaus in den Nebel. Während wir auf dem See Knucklehead-Forellen angeln, sammelten wir Hinweise: Vögel, Spuren, Bewegungsmuster. Bald war uns klar: Es handelte sich um einen erweckten Plesiosaurier – ein urtümliches Wesen, das auf magische Weise intelligent geworden war. Dann erschien sie: „Ich höre.“ Wir nannten sie Nessie. Nessie erzählte uns von ihrer Erwachung – durch eine Druidin namens Ravisin, die sich selbst als Dienerin der Frostmaid bezeichnete. Ravisin hatte ihr befohlen, Angst unter Bremens Fischern zu verbreiten, als Teil von Aurils Willen. Nessie hatte Angst, dass sie ihre Intelligenz verlieren würde, wenn sie sich weigerte. Wir erklärten ihr, dass diese Gabe dauerhaft war – dass sie niemals wieder ein dummes Tier sein würde. Nessie zögerte. Dann versprach sie uns, keine Fischer mehr anzugreifen. Zurück in Bremen erwartete uns bereits Grynsk, der neugierig nach der Ausbeute fragte. Wir gaben ihm die gefangenen Forellen – und er bezahlte wie versprochen, wenn auch knausrig: 5 Kupfer pro Fisch. Tali war begeistert über den friedlichen Ausgang und schenkte uns als Dank eine Schriftrolle für Tierfreundschaft sowie einen kleinen Beutel mit 5 Goldmünzen. Er zog sich ins Gasthaus Buried Treasures zurück, um seine Notizen zu studieren. Dort trafen wir auch auf Marta Peskryk, eine willowy junge Bardin aus dem Eastside Inn in Termalaine. Sie war nach Bremen gereist, um Medizin für ihren kranken Vater Clyde zu besorgen. Abends sang sie ein altes Lied: Ahead of winter’s wind she came— Sie erzählte von einer mysteriösen Frau im roten Mantel, die vor über fünfzig Jahren im Eastside Inn Zuflucht gesucht hatte – nur um von einem bösen Wind heimgesucht zu werden. Die Frau verschwand spurlos. Marta erbte den Ring, den sie damals als Bezahlung hinterließ – einen Ring der Wärme. Überzeugt, dass wir den Fluch des Winters brechen könnten, schenkte sie uns den Ring als Glücksbringer. Am Morgen beim Frühstück konnte die Wirtin Cora Mulphoon ihre Fassade nicht mehr aufrechterhalten. Sie brach vor uns zusammen – nicht wegen der Wirtschaft, sondern wegen ihres Sohnes Huarwar, der vor zwei Monaten verschwand. Er war mit einer Suchgruppe aufgebrochen, um den Sprecher zu finden, kehrte frostverletzt zurück – verändert. Kalt. Aggressiv. Kurz darauf tauchten zwei Tieflinge auf, trugen Amulette aus schwarzem Eis, genau wie das, was Cora in Huarwars Zimmer gefunden hatte. Er ging mit ihnen – freiwillig – und sagte, er würde nie zurückkehren. Sie erinnerte sich vage an ein Wort: „Schloss“. Und sie wusste, es gibt nur zwei: Skallis Gedanken: Eis, das verändert. Magie, die lügt. Druidinnen, die Tiere zu Werkzeugen machen. Und nun Kinder, die sich in Monster verwandeln... Der Winter frisst sich tiefer in die Herzen der Menschen, als ich es für möglich hielt. |
