Bag of Tricks (Gray)
Adventuring Gear (Wondrous Item)

This ordinary bag, made from gray, rust, or tan cloth, appears empty. Reaching inside the bag, however, reveals the presence of a small, fuzzy object. The bag weighs 1/2 pound.

You can use an action to pull the fuzzy object from the bag and throw it up to 20 feet. When the object lands, it transforms into a creature you determine by rolling a d8 and consulting the table that corresponds to the bag's color. The creature vanishes at the next dawn or when it is reduced to 0 hit points.
The creature is friendly to you and your companions, and it acts on your turn. You can use a bonus action to command how the creature moves and what action it takes on its next turn, or to give it general orders, such as to attack your enemies. In the absence of such orders, the creature acts in a fashion appropriate to its nature.

Once three fuzzy objects have been pulled from the bag, the bag can't be used again until the next dawn.

Commen Magic Item Chose:

Frostwolf Armor (Smoldering Breastplate)
Medium armor, common

These breastplates have been reinforced with the fur of a winter wolf so that the animal's icy aura can still be slightly felt on them, causing icy fog to rise from it.

Psi Crystal
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a creature with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher)
This crystal grants you telepathy for as long as you remain attuned to it. See the introduction of the Monster Manual for rules on how this telepathy works. The crystal also glows with a purplish inner light while you are attuned to it. The higher your intelligence, the greater the light’s intensity and the greater the range of the telepathy (see the Psi Crystal Properties table).

Story:

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

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

Embossed on its bulging sides are images of satyrs and nymphs in repose, holding ladles. The cauldron comes with a lid and has side handles. It sits on five little clawed feet that keep it from tipping.
If water is poured into the cauldron and stirred for 1 minute, it transforms into a hearty, hot stew, which can provide one nourishing meal for up to four people per gallon. The stew remains hot while in the cauldron, then cools naturally after it is removed. The outside of the cauldron remains safe to touch despite the heat of the stew.
The cauldron can create stew three times. It then ceases to function until the next dawn, when it regains all its uses.

Story:

Returning Survivors
Beru and Osric have escorted Garret back to his husband in Targos and Perilou to Bryn Shander. While their is buisy working in Caer-Dineval, they have been summoned by Naerth Maxildanarr (Speaker of Targos), who thanked them personally for saving one of his citizens. Word of the parties deeds have started to circulate around ten-towns and Naerth has heeded the peoples wishes to no longer sacrifice lives to Auril and instead fallen back on heat and warmth to appease the Frostmaiden. As a sign of gratitude and "investing into the future of ten-towns", Speaker Naerth has handed them a letter for Duvessa Shane, solidifying relations between their towns. Furthermore, his trade network (the Zentharim) was able to percure a number of usefull Items, that might come in handy for the journey ahead (see loot).

Back in Bryn Shander
Beru and Osric delivered the message to Duvessa Shane and shared some of the information the party has gleaned from the mirror of the full moon and about the frostmaidens influence about events in ten-towns. While concerned, she asked them to continue their good work for the towns and look further into what they can help with and learn in Easthaven and beyond, especially about these visions of secret grey Dwarves, who reportedly have been starting to attack travelers and civilians. Meanwhile she would work to best aid them on the political fields, because "whatever you people are doing, by the gods, it works."
100gp inherritance from the fallen adventurers
50gp weekly payment from the Council of Speakers

Main-Story Quest: Black Cabin. On their way to pay respect at the House of the Triade, Beru and Osric have been stopped by Copper Knobberknocker, who is just a little worried a friend named Macreadus, who is conducting research at an old cabin in the wilderness. He says that if the party finds themselves nearby, he would appreciate it if they looked in on Macreadus, who’s trying to build a device that could end the Frostmaiden’s eternal winter and return summer to Icewind Dale. Copper asked them to bring provisions to Macreadus at the Black Cabin and make sure he’s all right. Because the gnome has paid for the provisions, he can’t offer a reward; however, Mishann, the priest who runs the House of the Morninglord, offered free healing and other spellcasting services to those who complete Copper’s quest and return.

At the House of the Triad Beru met with his adoptive father, an armored human man and always vigilant war cleric of Helm. While beginning to slithgly gray in his age, his father has remained an alert and compassionate demeanor. Beru and Osric were affored on brief evening of respite with his adoptive family among the orphans and priests. They shared a wonderful meal in celebration of the parties deeds across ten-towns. Even chicken meat was afforded by an anonymous benefactor and supper was both fulfilling and lasted for a few precious hours.
Beru and Osric will start their next adventuring day under the effects of a Heroe's Feast (18hp). Beru took the opportunity that night to also make his oaths.

Returning to Cear-Dineval
Perilou, the halfling cleric, caught Osric on their way out of town and thanked them again for saving her life. "We'd have all died up there if it wasn't for you."

Starting the Adventure:

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

Quests:

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

Sidequests:

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

Loot so far:

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

Info:
Das erste Abenteuer von Skalli beginnt mit den Gefährten, die in Bryn Shander ankommen. Kaum sind sie angekommen, hören sie einen Schrei und entdecken eine Cragecat, die an einem Fisch frisst, neben dem eine erfrorene Leiche liegt. Sie entscheiden sich, die Cragecat zu bezwingen und sie außerhalb der Stadt freizulassen. Danach begeben sie sich in die Townhall.

Dort werden sie von Sheriff Markham Southwell empfangen, der ihnen erklärt, was in der Stadt vor sich geht. Duvessa Shane erklärt ihnen die Lage genauer und warum sie die Einladungen verschickt haben. Dabei erhalten sie verschiedene Quests:

Side Quests:

• Termalaine: Untersuchung einer schönen Mine.
• Bremen: Bekämpfung eines Seeungeheuers.
  • Bergbesteigung (Targos).

Ortsinformationen:

• Bryn Shander: Northlook, eine Taverne, die von Abenteurern betrieben wird, mit einigen zwielichtigen Gestalten. Weitere wichtige Orte sind die Blackiron Blades, eine von Zwergen geführte Schmiede, das House of the Morninglord, ein Tempel von Lathander, und das House of the Triad, geweiht den Gottheiten Helm, Torm und Ilmatar.
  • Arveiaturace: Ein antiker Weißer Drache, dessen Revier sich über ganz Icewind Dale erstreckt.
  • Der Rote Yeti. Er ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten aufgetaucht und, um es mit den Worten meiner Yeti-Eltern zu sagen, ist verrückt. Er scheint von der blutrünstigen Natur dazu getrieben zu sein, alles, was ihm begegnet, aufzuspießen und zu verschlingen. Sein Fell ist mit Blutschichten befleckt, woher er seine Nase zieht. Mit ihm kann man unter keinen Umständen vernünftig reden.

Die Gefährten werden von drei Zwergen um Hilfe gebeten, da ihre Eisenlieferung von einem Yeti überfallen wurde. Das Eisen wurde von Goblins gefunden, die aus Karkolohk stammen. Die Gefährten besiegen die Goblins und liesen die Hälfte der Mannschaft laufen. Die Zwerge die sie geschickt hatten stellten sich als Mitglieder der Blackiron Blades vor und geben nun 10% Rapatt auf Waren und Dienstleistungen .

Am Abend, als alle in der Taverne saßen und den Abend ausklingen ließen, bricht plötzlich Chaos aus, als ein eisiges Messer durch die Wand sticht und eine Händlerstochter aus Easthaven tot auf der anderen Seite hängt. Ein Zeichen von Auril bildet sich in der Taverne.

Es stellt sich heraus, dass alle Mordopfer in den Ten Towns sich aus einer Opferlotterie freigekauft haben, um nicht den Frostmaiden geopfert zu werden. Hlin Trollbane verdächtigt Torrga Icevein, den Beschützer von Sephek, sowie Sephek Kaltro, einen vermutlichen Frostdruide.

Die Hauptquest besteht darin, den Cold-Hearted Killer zu finden und zu stoppen.
https://imgsrv.roll20.net/?src=https%3A//thealexandrian.net/creations/icewind-dale/icewind-dale-travel-time-map.png

Die Reise begann im Herzen der Eiswüste – Bryn Shander, der größten der Zehn-Städte, und zugleich dem ersten Hoffnungsschimmer in einer Welt, die drohte, im endlosen Winter zu erstarren.

Skalli „Frostgaze“, eine zähe Shifterin mit eisigem Blick und einem Herzen voller Fragen, kam gemeinsam mit ihren Gefährten auf Geheiß von Sprecherin Duvessa Shane in die Stadt. An ihrer Seite standen Beru Chillwind Akannathi, eine standhafte Aasimar und Paladina, Aerlyn Fuyu, eine Eladrin-Waldläuferin mit winterlichem Gemüt, der ehrwürdige Goliath-Kleriker Kylan Bloodchaser, sowie der neugierige Zauberer Elric.

Kaum hatten sie den frostverhüllten Stadtrand erreicht, durchbrach ein Schrei die Stille. In einer schneebedeckten Gasse fanden sie die Ursache: Eine verwundete Crag Cat – eine Felsenkatze aus dem Gebirge – fraß gierig an einem gefrorenen Fisch, neben ihr die Leiche eines verstorbenen Fischers.

Die Situation war angespannt, aber die Gruppe handelte rasch und mit Bedacht. Anstatt das Tier zu töten, schalteten sie es aus und schafften es, die Katze lebendig wieder in die Wildnis zu entlassen – ein erstes Zeichen ihres Urteilsvermögens und Mitgefühls.

Sheriff Markham Southwell, alarmiert durch die Aufregung, fand bald zu ihnen. Beeindruckt von ihrem Handeln, führte er sie zur Townhall, wo sie mit Duvessa Shane zusammentrafen. Dort erfuhren sie mehr über die ernste Lage: Die Städte litten unter dem anhaltenden Frost, der durch den Fluch der Frostmaid Auril über das Land gelegt worden war. Nahrung war knapp, der Handel fast zum Erliegen gekommen, und das Vertrauen der Bevölkerung zerbrechlich wie dünnes Eis.

Duvessa hatte Hoffnung in diese fünf gelegt – Hoffnung auf Wandel. Und sie testete diese Hoffnung mit ersten Aufträgen:

Nebenquests wurden verteilt:

In Termalaine sollten sie eine schöne, aber gefährliche Mine untersuchen.

In Bremen galt es, ein Seeungeheuer zur Strecke zu bringen.

Eine weitere Aufgabe führte sie über eine gefrorene Bergbesteigung bei Targos.

Ortsinformationen und Warnungen folgten:
In Bryn Shander selbst begegneten sie zwielichtigen Gestalten in der Taverne Northlook, die von rauen Abenteurern geführt wurde. Dort befanden sich auch die Blackiron Blades, eine von Zwergen betriebene Schmiede, das House of the Morninglord, ein Tempel zu Ehren Lathanders, und das House of the Triad, geweiht Helm, Torm und Ilmater.

Der Name Arveiaturace fiel – eine uralte weiße Drachin, deren Revier ganz Icewind Dale umfasste. Und ein weiteres Grauen: Der Rote Yeti, ein blutrünstiges Biest, das selbst Yetis das Fürchten lehrte, streifte durch die Tundra. Mit ihm, so sagten selbst erfahrene Jäger, könne man nicht reden – nur rennen oder sterben.

Kurz darauf wurden die Gefährten von drei Zwergen um Hilfe gebeten: Ihre Eisenlieferung war überfallen worden – nicht von Banditen, sondern von einem Yeti. Das Eisen war in die Hände von Goblins aus Karkolohk gefallen. Die Gruppe spürte das Lager auf, besiegte die Goblins und ließ die Überlebenden ziehen – ein Zeichen von Stärke, aber auch von Gnade. Als Dank erhielten sie von den dankbaren Zwergen der Blackiron Blades einen dauerhaften Rabatt auf Waren und Dienstleistungen.

Doch der erste Abend voller Erfolg und Entspannung endete abrupt. Während sie in der Northlook den Abend ausklingen ließen, durchbrach plötzlich ein eisiges Messer die Wand der Taverne. Auf der anderen Seite lag eine tote Händlerstochter aus Easthaven – aufgespießt, durchbohrt, tot. Auf dem Boden erschien das Zeichen Aurils.

Die Morde waren kein Zufall. Schon bald wurde klar: In allen Ten-Towns wurden Menschen getötet – Menschen, die sich aus den Opferlotterien freigekauft hatten, um der Frostmaid zu entgehen.

Die alte Zwergenjägerin Hlin Trollbane offenbarte den wahren Schrecken: Ein Mann namens Sephek Kaltro, ein mutmaßlicher Frostdruide, war auf Rachemission. Er begleitete Torrga Icevein, eine brutale Händlerin mit dunklem Ruf, und zog durch die Städte, um Aurils Willen zu vollstrecken.

Die Gruppe erhielt ihre erste große Aufgabe:
🔍 Findet und stoppt den Cold-Hearted Killer, ehe noch mehr Unschuldige sterben.

Ein finsterer Schatten hatte sich über Icewind Dale gelegt – aber in Skalli und ihren Gefährten war ein Licht entfacht, das auch im tiefsten Frost brennen konnte.

Story:

The party has made their way back to Termalaine on their way to Lonelywood, trying to investigate about the frost druids that seem to stir unrest in Ten-towns. Stopping by their friends Martas home, the Eastside Inn, they found that Trog's caravan was currently in town and decided to pay them a visit.
Torrga Icevein's caravan consisted of three heavily laden dogsleds, each one pulled by six friendly sled dogs. One sled carried provisions and supplies for Torrga, her team, and her dogs. It flew a flag bearing the company’s emblem, a gold wolf’s paw on a black field. The other two sleds transported goods for sale, including cut wood, flint and tinder, flasks of whale oil, blankets, furs, rations, bottles of wine, casks of cheap ale, fake medicines, and vials of poison (used primarily for killing vermin).
Torg’s was an outdoor shop. Goods were unpacked and displayed in crates, with small canopies to keep the snow off them. Most of Torrga’s goods were stolen or fenced, and she sells them for double the normal price. She has a protection racket that earns her a little coin on the side, and she also commits murders for profit on the sly.
Torrga is interested only in profits, turned a blind eye to Sephek’s murderous escapades, and tried to help him as best she could without endangering her own life.
Sephek Kaltro was a well-built man in his thirties. He had an olive complexion, dark hair pulled back in a ponytail, and no facial or body hair. He dressed in a stylish vest with matching pants and boots, similar in style to those worn by mariners of the southern Sword Coast, but wore no armor or cold weather clothing and didnt’t appear to be armed. His most striking feature were his eyes, which were as blue as a frozen lake.
Because he was doing the Frostmaiden’s work, Sephek didnt’t care about getting caught and wasn't shy about admitting his guilt. In combat, he wielded a magical sword and magical daggers made of ice that he could conjure at will. He was also able to freely teleport short distanced in the snow and his wounds healed in the cold outside.
As Skalli sank her teeth into the mans throat, a blood-gurgling laught escaped Sephek: “You may destroy this mortal vessel, but Ten-Towns will not escape the Frostmaiden’s embrace. My sister will see to it!”
When Sephek drew his last breath, a cloud of icy vapor escaped his body and dispersed into the night.
Torrga and her bandits, seeing no use in a continued fight, struck a deal with the party. Coin, in exchange for leaving her and her crew well enough alone and keeping their pretty little mouths shut. Otherwise the party might find themselves being unable to buy something they need or denied lodging at a local inn because the merchant or proprietor don’t want to earn Torrga’s everlasting enmity.

Bag of Tricks (Gray)
Adventuring Gear (Wondrous Item)
This ordinary bag, made from gray, rust, or tan cloth, appears empty. Reaching inside the bag, however, reveals the presence of a small, fuzzy object. The bag weighs 1/2 pound.
You can use an action to pull the fuzzy object from the bag and throw it up to 20 feet. When the object lands, it transforms into a creature you determine by rolling a d8 and consulting the table that corresponds to the bag's color. The creature vanishes at the next dawn or when it is reduced to 0 hit points.
The creature is friendly to you and your companions, and it acts on your turn. You can use a bonus action to command how the creature moves and what action it takes on its next turn, or to give it general orders, such as to attack your enemies. In the absence of such orders, the creature acts in a fashion appropriate to its nature.
Once three fuzzy objects have been pulled from the bag, the bag can't be used again until the next dawn.
Dzaan's Spellbook
A worn book with a red leather cover and yellow pages. The edges of the pages are stained with dry blood. The writing inside suggests the book is nothing more than a poetry anthology. However, it’s actually the spellbook of a Red Wizard of Thay named Dzaan. The book’s true contents are hidden by an illusory script spell.
After the book was confiscated by a member of the town militia, it was brought to the Town Hall, where a clerk saw fit to place it in this library for safe keeping. Casting dispel magic on the book ends the illusory script spell placed upon it. When the illusory script spell ends, the book’s true contents are revealed. It contains the following spells:
detect magic, disguise self, illusory script, magic missile, silent image, arcane lock, blur, invisibility, knock, levitate, mirror image, phantasmal force, fireball, major image, sending, slow
arcane eye, confusion, hallucinatory terrain, phantasmal killer, animate objects, conjure elemental, mislead, seeming
Vellynne Harpell's Spellbook
Vellynne’s spellbook has black leather covers around pages of ragged parchment, all wrapped in a crimson sash. The necromancer’s personal sigil is written in goat’s blood on the title page. The tome contains the spells: false life, find familiar, protection from evil and good, shield, Tenser's floating disk, blindness/deafness, magic weapon, bestow curse, remove curse, polymorph

Story:

The heroes have defeated Ravisins and accessed the Mirror of the Full Moon. While the moon dial lights its frame, the mirror functions like an crystal ball of scrying. The mirror is held to the wall with sovereign glue and can’t be removed without shattering it.

“Gaze upon your own face and have seven questions answered.”
1. Sahnar demonstrated how the mirror functions by using it to glean information about his descendants whereabouts and wellbeing. His halfelven grandson lives happy and well.
2. Aerlyn asked how her father was faring. He is well, but surrounded by mysterious men, wearing amulets made of black ice in the shape of a sword. He's serving food, tending to someone imprisoned.
3. Beru asked "Who am I?". The vision showed his birth to him. Has ancestry, his mother. It showed how he was cast into the icy lake for being to fragile of a goliath son. How he was saved by a werebear goliath and then brought to Bryn Shanders orphanage. And it showed him Helm, the God of Vigilance, who beckonned him to "protect them...".
4. Skalli asked how to end the Everlasting Rime. She was shown two Visions. First there was a gnome, dressed like a teddybear, asking for assistance and then a single ray of sunshine, falling onto a lonely Black Cabin beyond the woods. The second showed to her a massive glacier, unpassable by mortal means. The vision turned back t'wards an island deep in the sea of moving ice, which houses a fortress in the image of a crowned skull. A book clad in white in their hands, an old woman with white hair and an eyepatch and three kobolds in a trenchcoat. And finally just standing behind herself, Elric. As she was about to take her hand away from the mirrors surface, two icy blue eyes stared back at her, slowly freezing the edges of the mirror: "There you are..." The Frostmaiden has layed eyes on them.
Before fleeing the evlen tomb immediately, Aerlyn quickly used two more questions on the mirror, not letting the chance to unravel at least some of the unfolding events pass them.
5. Aerlyn asked about all the Chardalyn they've encountered on their journey so far. They saw duergar, stealing away in the dark of night. Bringing chardalyn to a hidden fortress deep in the mountains. They saw them forging weapons of war and a gargantuan construct, a dragon made entirely of chardalyn.
6. Aerlyn asked about the Everlasting Rime. She saw a giant woman with an owl mask and a staff with a chardalyn crystal on top of it. She mounted a massive predatory bird, flying into the night sky and casting some manner of spell, emboldening the endless snowfall.

Sahnar then urged the party to move along. They made their way into the wood, towards a frozen river. There they stumbled upon the crashside of a dogsled and a Halfling, burried head frist into a mount of snow. Osric Whisperwood was a member of another adventuring party hired by Duvessa Shane. They had been looking into climbing Kelvins Cairn and speaking with Oyaminartok, a werebear goliath and local legend said to have unique insight into the happenings of the dale. Sadly they were ambushed by a yeti in a blizzard. Osric had fled the scene together with 2 dogs to go and get help, buth got lost in the storm.
As they were gathering their wits, Auril herself appeared before the heroes. She spoke to them, offering sweet eternity as part of her eternal garden of ice and the beauty she's bring. Not understanding how these mortals couldn't fathom her work and ideals. She adsressed Skalli one last time before disappearing into the snow, the the lights came creeping in. A small army of Coldlight Walkers was approaching them, wounding them severely, almost killing some. (7th question answered) They managed to flee only by Sahnar's timely arrival. He had used the last of the mirrors power to see a way to save them from this doom, only to realize a sacrifice need be made. He joined onto the battlefield with a Forbiddance spell at the ready, which he had cast on his way and struck down against the undead, subsequently ending his own existance along with theirs. "Fly you fools...".

Horn of Blasting
Wondrous item, rare
You can use an action to speak the horn’s command word and then blow the horn, which emits a thunderous blast in a 30-foot cone that is audible 600 feet away. Each creature in the cone must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 5d6 thunder damage and is deafened for 1 minute. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn’t deafened. Creatures and objects made of glass or crystal have disadvantage on the saving throw and take 10d6 thunder damage instead of 5d6.
Each use of the horn’s magic has a 20 percent chance of causing the horn to explode. The explosion deals 10d6 fire damage to the blower and destroys the horn.

Info:
Nach der frostigen Nacht auf der Straße erreichten wir schließlich Termalaine – eine Bergbaustadt am Rande des gefrorenen Sees Maer Dualdon. Die winterliche Schönheit des Ortes war unübersehbar, doch darunter lag etwas Bröckelndes, wie Risse im Eis.

Wir wurden empfangen von Sprecher Oarus Masthew, einem gutmütigen Mann, der mehr Rückgrat hatte, als es auf den ersten Blick schien. Er erzählte uns von einem Problem in der Mine: Kobolde hatten sich dort eingenistet. Kein Blutvergießen. Kein Überfall. Nur... Angst. Die Bergleute hatten die Arbeit niedergelegt, als sie die kleinen Kreaturen sahen, und waren geflohen. Oarus’ Stimme zitterte vor Frustration, als er erklärte, dass selbst die Stadtmiliz sich weigerte, seine Befehle zu befolgen.

Er vermutete politischen Einfluss aus Targos, doch hatte keine Beweise – nur das nagende Gefühl, dass etwas in der Stadt gegen ihn arbeitete.

Trotzdem setzte er seine Hoffnung in uns. Wenn wir das Minenproblem lösten, könnten Handel und Wohlstand zurückkehren – und seine Position als Sprecher wäre wieder sicher.
Die schöne Mine und ihre unheimlichen Schatten

In den Tiefen der sogenannten „wunderschönen Mine“ trafen wir bald auf die Kobolde. Sie hatten sich dorthin geflüchtet, nachdem ein Yeti sie aus ihrer Höhle am Kelvin’s Cairn vertrieben hatte. Einer von ihnen, Thwip, geriet versehentlich in unsere Hände – und führte uns prompt zu den anderen.

Ihr Anführer war Trex – zumindest schien er es zu sein. Trex sprach klug, fast schon gelehrt, und benahm sich gänzlich untypisch für einen Kobold. Schnell merkten wir, dass mehr dahintersteckte.

Wie sich herausstellte, war Trex vom Geist eines verstorbenen Gelehrten namens Janth besessen. Dieser hatte einst die Flora von Icewind Dale studiert und war in der Nähe der Mine gestorben. Sein Geist hatte die Kobolde während eines Schneesturms entdeckt und in Trex einen Wirt gefunden – ohne dessen Wissen. Janths Plan: sich in einen einflussreicheren Körper einnisten.

Doch bevor es dazu kommen konnte, fanden wir ihn. Und in einem dunklen, schwebenden Winkel der Mine wartete auf uns noch etwas anderes: ein Grell – ein hirnsaugendes Monster mit Fangtentakeln. Gemeinsam besiegten wir es, und schließlich konnten wir Janths rastlosen Geist zur Ruhe bringen.

Doch nicht, bevor Elric in seinen Bann geriet und – wie durch ein grausames Wunder – um zwanzig Jahre alterte, während wir alle zusehen mussten. Er versuchte zu scherzen... aber ich sah es in seinen Augen. Der Schock saß tief.
Ein neuer Anfang für die Kleinen

Nachdem Trex von Janths Einfluss befreit war, fiel er in sein altes, nervöses Ich zurück – verwirrt, aber friedlich. Wir sprachen erneut mit Oarus. Zuerst war er zögerlich, die Kobolde in der Stadt zu dulden. Doch als er hörte, dass sie arbeiten wollten – ehrliche Arbeit – willigte er ein.

Die Kobolde wurden in einfachen Aufgaben unterwiesen und erwiesen sich schnell als fleißig. Die Stadtbewohner verspotteten sie anfangs, doch das Lächeln wich, als sie merkten, wie ernst die kleinen Kreaturen ihre zweite Chance nahmen.

Skallis Gedanken:

„Trex war nicht gefährlich – er war besessen. Aber wer sagt, dass die Geister hier im Norden jemals wirklich ruhen? Sie flüstern... manchmal spüre ich sie auch.“

Mit der Mine befreit, den Grell erschlagen, einem Geist zur Ruhe verholfen und den Kobolden eine neue Zukunft eröffnet, verließen wir Termalaine mit dem Gefühl, das Richtige getan zu haben. Doch das Echo von Janths Gedanken hallte noch immer tief im Gestein wider.

Und Elrics graue Schläfen erinnerten uns daran, wie dünn der Schleier zwischen Leben und Tod hier draußen wirklich ist.

Loot: 25gp

Info:
Die Gefährten durchsuchen das Grab und fanden den Leichnam der Elfenkriegerin die sie als Beenhee besiegt hatten und den Leichnam von Ravisin´s Bruder Vonis. Sahnar erklärte den Spiegel der sich in den Grab befindet der Mirrow of the Fullmoon (Kristalball). Er aktivierte den Spiegel für uns und wir hatten 7 Fragen die wir stellen konnten.
1. Sahnar stellte die frage wie es seinen Nachfahren geht: gut haben ein Halbelfenkind.
2. Aerlyn wollte wissen wie es ihren Vater geht. Gut, befindet sich in einer Festung in Caer-Dineval wo alle Beowhner Chardalynketten tragen. Er kümmert sich um jemanden der eingesperrt ist.
3. Beru wollte wissen was er ist. Sah wie er geboren wurde, ausgesetzt wurde, und gerettet wurde.
4. Skalli stellte die Frage wie sie den Ewigen Winter loswerden. Sie sah zwei Visionen. Die erste enthielt einen Gnom in einen Tempel. Von ihm zu einer einsamem Hütte im Norden wo ein einzelner Sonnenstrahl darauffällt. Die zweite Vision enthielt einen Gletscher die Gruppe mit Verbündeten vor standen konnten nichzt passieren. Von dort auf eine Insel mit einer Festung die aussieht wie ein Schädel und einer Krone darauf. Ein weiß eingehülltes Buch in den Händen. Eine weishaarige Frau mit einer Augenklappe (Vellynne) und drei Kobolde in einen Trenchcoat. Elric.
Als Skalli die Hand vom Spiegel weg nehmen wollte, starrten sie zwei eisblaue Augen an und sagten: "Da bist du." Sie schreckte zurück, stieß an die Wand und lies sich an dieser herrunterrutschen, sichtlich verstört und ängstlich.
5. Sahnar stellte eine Frage um uns in diesen Moment am besten zu helfen. Er sah einen Schlitten den ein Halfling steuerte, dieser wurde von zwei Schlittenhunde gezogen und von einer Lawine Floh. Sein Schlitten steckte fest und er Kopf über im Schnee steckte.
6. Aerlyn fragte was es mit den Chardalyn auf sich hat. Sie sieht Duregar die im Schutz der dunkelheit Charderlyn abbauen und in einer Festung Waffen herstellen. Ein konstrukt ist sichtbar das einen Drachen ähnelt der komplett aus Chardalyn besteht.
7. Aerlyn fragte was es mit den Ever lasting Rime aufsich hat. Sie sah eine Frau mit einer Eulenmaske und einen Stab dessen Spitze ein Stück Reinen Charderlyn trug. Sie sattelte einen Großen Adler um in der Nacht über Eiswind Dale zu vielen und einen Spell zu casten der den Schnee mehr bringt.

Durch Skallis Frage gefunden suchte die gruppe den schlitten und zog den Halbling aus den Schnee. Kurz darauf kam aus den Blizzard eine Gestallt die Skalli fixierte. Die Frostmaid hatte sie gefunden. Doch sie Sprach nur und schitt langsam auf sie zu. Sie drehte nach wenigen schritten um als sie fertig war mit den Worten die sie an Skalli richtete hatte. Aus den Wald kamen Lichter. Die Geister derer die geopfert oder getötet wurden. Die gruppe konnte nur gerade so dem Frost tot entkommen doch verloren dabei Beru Axbeak Chonk der zu Eis erstarrte. Wir kamen bei Nimsy Huddle wieder an und erzählen was passiert was. Bekamen die versprochene Belohnung und verbringen die Nacht dort.

Story:

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

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

Story:

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

Biography

Skalli, erblickte das Licht der Welt in den eisigen Weiten von Icewind Dale. Sie wuchs im Tribe of the Wolf der Reghed-Barbaren auf, die nomadisch durch die gefrorene Tundra zogen. Ihre Geburt war von Anfang an ungewöhnlich, denn sie kam in einer stürmischen Winternacht zur Welt, während die Nordlichter den Himmel erhellten und der Vollmond sein bleiches Licht über die Landschaft ergoss. Als die Heilerin, die als Hebamme fungierte, das Kind zu den Eltern brachte, waren sie erstaunt über das, was sie sahen. Skalli hatte weißes Haar, spitze Wolfohren und einen buschigen Schwanz, und als sie ihre Augen öffnete, blickten sie in eisblaue Wolfsaugen.

Ihr Vater, ein Mitglied des Gray Wolf Tribe, war ein stolzer Uthgardt-Barbar, der sich unter dem Einfluss des Vollmonds in einen wilden Werwolf verwandelte. Anders als die meisten, die ihre Lykanthropie als Fluch betrachteten, sah er es als ein Erbe an, das es zu akzeptieren galt. Skallis Mutter hingegen war eine Shamanin aus dem Tribe of the Wolf, die sich unsterblich in Skallis Vater verliebte, ungeachtet der Unterschiede und Herausforderungen, die ihre Beziehung mit sich brachte. Trotz ihrer offensichtlichen Andersartigkeit wurde Skalli von ihren Eltern bedingungslos geliebt und im den Tribe of the Wolf aufgezogen. Sie lernte die Kunst des Überlebens in der gnadenlosen Kälte und die Wege der Jagd von den erfahrenen Jägern ihres Stammes.

Doch die Zeiten wurden düster in Icewind Dale. Strengere Winter, feindliche Stammeskonflikte und eine unwirkliche Dunkelheit, die die Sonne verdeckte, legten sich über ihre Heimat. Die verschiedenen Stämme begannen sich gegenseitig aufzureiben, und der Tribe verlor viele seiner Mitglieder sowohl an Feindseligkeiten als auch an Hunger und der gnadenlosen Kälte. Unter den Opfern waren auch Skallis Eltern. Zuerst verschwand ihr Vater eines Tages spurlos, und dann erkrankte ihre Mutter schwer. Skalli versuchte verzweifelt, ihr zu helfen, doch die Krankheit erwies sich als fast unheilbar.

In einem verzweifelten Versuch, ihre kranke Mutter zu retten, begab sie sich auf die Suche nach einem mächtigen Druiden, von dem sie hörte, dass er möglicherweise helfen könnte. Doch was sie fand, war ein groteskes Ritual, das Auril geweiht war, der Göttin des Winters. Ihr Instinkt schrie, dass etwas daran falsch und verdorben war. Ohne zu zögern, unterbrach Skalli das Ritual und brachte dem offensichtlichen Frostdruiden den Gnadenstoß.

Völlig verzweifelt machte sie sich auf den Rückweg, um ihrer Mutter in ihren letzten Momenten beizustehen, doch auf dem Weg zurück zu ihrem Tribe wurde sie überrascht. Ein mysteriöser Pfeil, der von unsichtbarer Hand abgeschossen worden war, durchbohrte ihre Brust. Sie konnte nur den Schaft und die Feder des Pfeils entfernen, während die Spitze in ihrer Brust stecken blieb, und sie begann immer kälter zu werden. Im Moment der herannahenden Bewusstlosigkeit hatte Skalli eine merkwürdige Vision von einem weißen Wolf mit schwarzen Klauen und Fangzähnen, der ihr eine rätselhafte Botschaft übermittelte. Als sie wieder zu sich kam, fand sie sich in dem vertrauten Zelt der Stammesheilerin wieder, die sie mit einem mysteriösen Kristall aus Eis an ihrer Brust vorfand, der sie vor dem sicheren Tod bewahrt hatte.

Doch die Rettung war von einem Preis begleitet, den Skalli erst allmählich zu verstehen begann. So entschloss sie sich auf eine gefährliche Reise zu begeben, auf der Suche nach Antworten, Verbündeten und einem Weg, sich von dem Pfeilkopf zu befreien. Die Suche nach einer Lösung, die sie von ihrem eisigen Schicksal befreien würde, begann, während sie durch die eisigen Schneefelder von Icewind Dale zog.

Skalli, auch bekannt als Frostgaze, ist eine imposante Gestalt, die die Erscheinung eines Wolfes mit der Anmut einer Kriegerin vereint. Ihre schneeweißen, überschulterlangen Haare fallen wild und ungezähmt über ihre Schultern, wobei einige Strähnen zu geflochtenen Zöpfen gebunden sind. Die Wolfsohren, die aus ihrem Haar herausragen, und der buschige Schwanz verleihen ihr ein animalisches Aussehen, während ihre eisblauen Wolfsaugen wie leuchtendes, ewiges Eis funkeln, was ihr den bezeichnenden Titel "Frostgaze" einbrachte.

Ihr jugendliches Gesicht zeigt ungesund blasser Haut, und ihre körperlichen Merkmale wirken trotz ihrer Kraft und Stärke zerbrechlicher als sie tatsächlich ist. Die Kälte ihrer Heimat verbirgt oft ihre Haut, doch die Tribe-Tattoos auf ihrem Körper, insbesondere diejenigen in ihrem Gesicht, sind deutlich sichtbar. Diese Tattoos scheinen sich je nach Skallis Stimmung zu bewegen und zu verändern, von einem leichten Himmelblau bis zu einem strahlenden Tiefblau oder sogar rötlichen Nuancen.

In der Regel kleidet sich Skalli in Leder- und Pelzkleidung in erdigen Braun- und Beigetönen. Sie trägt einen dicken Mantel mit Pelzbesatz und Kapuze, den sie tief ins Gesicht zieht, um sich vor den eisigen Winden zu schützen. Ihre Lederstiefel und Handschuhe sind ebenfalls robust und warm gefüttert, passend für die unwirtlichen Bedingungen ihrer Umgebung und im Stil der Reghed Barbarians gehalten.

Ein blauer Kristall in der Mitte ihrer Brust bedeckt einen Pfeilkopf aus Ewigen Eis, der dort steckt, ein stummer Zeuge vergangener Kämpfe und eines unheimlichen Fluchs. Skalli versteckt diesen Kristall geschickt unter ihrem Pelz und Leder, sodass er nur bei genauem Hinsehen erkennbar ist. Es scheint, als würden die blauen Tattoos auf ihrer Haut um den Kristall herum pulsieren und sich verändern.

Als Ausdruck ihrer Loyalität trägt Skalli stets ein geschnitztes Spirit Token aus Holz bei sich, das einen majestätischen Wolf darstellt. Zusätzlich führt sie ein Großschwert und zwei Handäxte mit sich, wenngleich sie diese Waffen nur selten einsetzt, da ihre Angeborenen Fähigkeiten sie oft mehr als ausreichend bewaffnen.

Bag of Tricks (Gray)
Adventuring Gear (Wondrous Item)

This ordinary bag, made from gray, rust, or tan cloth, appears empty. Reaching inside the bag, however, reveals the presence of a small, fuzzy object. The bag weighs 1/2 pound.

You can use an action to pull the fuzzy object from the bag and throw it up to 20 feet. When the object lands, it transforms into a creature you determine by rolling a d8 and consulting the table that corresponds to the bag's color. The creature vanishes at the next dawn or when it is reduced to 0 hit points.
The creature is friendly to you and your companions, and it acts on your turn. You can use a bonus action to command how the creature moves and what action it takes on its next turn, or to give it general orders, such as to attack your enemies. In the absence of such orders, the creature acts in a fashion appropriate to its nature.

Once three fuzzy objects have been pulled from the bag, the bag can't be used again until the next dawn.

Commen Magic Item Chose:

Frostwolf Armor (Smoldering Breastplate)
Medium armor, common

These breastplates have been reinforced with the fur of a winter wolf so that the animal's icy aura can still be slightly felt on them, causing icy fog to rise from it.

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a creature with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher)
This crystal grants you telepathy for as long as you remain attuned to it. See the introduction of the Monster Manual for rules on how this telepathy works.

Story:

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

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

Story:

Returning Survivors
Beru and Osric have escorted Garret back to his husband in Targos and Perilou to Bryn Shander. While their is buisy working in Caer-Dineval, they have been summoned by Naerth Maxildanarr (Speaker of Targos), who thanked them personally for saving one of his citizens. Word of the parties deeds have started to circulate around ten-towns and Naerth has heeded the peoples wishes to no longer sacrifice lives to Auril and instead fallen back on heat and warmth to appease the Frostmaiden. As a sign of gratitude and "investing into the future of ten-towns", Speaker Naerth has handed them a letter for Duvessa Shane, solidifying relations between their towns. Furthermore, his trade network (the Zentharim) was able to percure a number of usefull Items, that might come in handy for the journey ahead (see loot).

Back in Bryn Shander
Beru and Osric delivered the message to Duvessa Shane and shared some of the information the party has gleaned from the mirror of the full moon and about the frostmaidens influence about events in ten-towns. While concerned, she asked them to continue their good work for the towns and look further into what they can help with and learn in Easthaven and beyond, especially about these visions of secret grey Dwarves, who reportedly have been starting to attack travelers and civilians. Meanwhile she would work to best aid them on the political fields, because "whatever you people are doing, by the gods, it works."

50gp weekly payment from the Council of Speakers

Main-Story Quest: Black Cabin. On their way to pay respect at the House of the Triade, Beru and Osric have been stopped by Copper Knobberknocker, who is just a little worried a friend named Macreadus, who is conducting research at an old cabin in the wilderness. He says that if the party finds themselves nearby, he would appreciate it if they looked in on Macreadus, who’s trying to build a device that could end the Frostmaiden’s eternal winter and return summer to Icewind Dale. Copper asked them to bring provisions to Macreadus at the Black Cabin and make sure he’s all right. Because the gnome has paid for the provisions, he can’t offer a reward; however, Mishann, the priest who runs the House of the Morninglord, offered free healing and other spellcasting services to those who complete Copper’s quest and return.

At the House of the Triad Beru met with his adoptive father, an armored human man and always vigilant war cleric of Helm. While beginning to slithgly gray in his age, his father has remained an alert and compassionate demeanor. Beru and Osric were affored on brief evening of respite with his adoptive family among the orphans and priests. They shared a wonderful meal in celebration of the parties deeds across ten-towns. Even chicken meat was afforded by an anonymous benefactor and supper was both fulfilling and lasted for a few precious hours.
Beru and Osric will start their next adventuring day under the effects of a Heroe's Feast (18hp). Beru took the opportunity that night to also make his oaths.

Returning to Cear-Dineval
Perilou, the halfling cleric, caught Osric on their way out of town and thanked them again for saving her life. "We'd have all died up there if it wasn't for you."

Starting the Adventure:

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

Quests:

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

Sidequests:

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

Info:
Das erste Abenteuer von Skalli beginnt mit den Gefährten, die in Bryn Shander ankommen. Kaum sind sie angekommen, hören sie einen Schrei und entdecken eine Cragecat, die an einem Fisch frisst, neben dem eine erfrorene Leiche liegt. Sie entscheiden sich, die Cragecat zu bezwingen und sie außerhalb der Stadt freizulassen. Danach begeben sie sich in die Townhall.

Dort werden sie von Sheriff Markham Southwell empfangen, der ihnen erklärt, was in der Stadt vor sich geht. Duvessa Shane erklärt ihnen die Lage genauer und warum sie die Einladungen verschickt haben. Dabei erhalten sie verschiedene Quests:

Side Quests:

• Termalaine: Untersuchung einer schönen Mine.
• Bremen: Bekämpfung eines Seeungeheuers.
  • Bergbesteigung (Targos).

Ortsinformationen:

• Bryn Shander: Northlook, eine Taverne, die von Abenteurern betrieben wird, mit einigen zwielichtigen Gestalten. Weitere wichtige Orte sind die Blackiron Blades, eine von Zwergen geführte Schmiede, das House of the Morninglord, ein Tempel von Lathander, und das House of the Triad, geweiht den Gottheiten Helm, Torm und Ilmatar.
  • Arveiaturace: Ein antiker Weißer Drache, dessen Revier sich über ganz Icewind Dale erstreckt.
  • Der Rote Yeti. Er ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten aufgetaucht und, um es mit den Worten meiner Yeti-Eltern zu sagen, ist verrückt. Er scheint von der blutrünstigen Natur dazu getrieben zu sein, alles, was ihm begegnet, aufzuspießen und zu verschlingen. Sein Fell ist mit Blutschichten befleckt, woher er seine Nase zieht. Mit ihm kann man unter keinen Umständen vernünftig reden.

Die Gefährten werden von drei Zwergen um Hilfe gebeten, da ihre Eisenlieferung von einem Yeti überfallen wurde. Das Eisen wurde von Goblins gefunden, die aus Karkolohk stammen. Die Gefährten besiegen die Goblins und liesen die Hälfte der Mannschaft laufen. Die Zwerge die sie geschickt hatten stellten sich als Mitglieder der Blackiron Blades vor und geben nun 10% Rapatt auf Waren und Dienstleistungen .

Am Abend, als alle in der Taverne saßen und den Abend ausklingen ließen, bricht plötzlich Chaos aus, als ein eisiges Messer durch die Wand sticht und eine Händlerstochter aus Easthaven tot auf der anderen Seite hängt. Ein Zeichen von Auril bildet sich in der Taverne.

Es stellt sich heraus, dass alle Mordopfer in den Ten Towns sich aus einer Opferlotterie freigekauft haben, um nicht den Frostmaiden geopfert zu werden. Hlin Trollbane verdächtigt Torrga Icevein, den Beschützer von Sephek, sowie Sephek Kaltro, einen vermutlichen Frostdruide.

Die Hauptquest besteht darin, den Cold-Hearted Killer zu finden und zu stoppen.

Die Reise begann im Herzen der Eiswüste – Bryn Shander, der größten der Zehn-Städte, und zugleich dem ersten Hoffnungsschimmer in einer Welt, die drohte, im endlosen Winter zu erstarren.

Skalli „Frostgaze“, eine zähe Shifterin mit eisigem Blick und einem Herzen voller Fragen, kam gemeinsam mit ihren Gefährten auf Geheiß von Sprecherin Duvessa Shane in die Stadt. An ihrer Seite standen Beru Chillwind Akannathi, eine standhafte Aasimar und Paladina, Aerlyn Fuyu, eine Eladrin-Waldläuferin mit winterlichem Gemüt, der ehrwürdige Goliath-Kleriker Kylan Bloodchaser, sowie der neugierige Zauberer Elric.

Kaum hatten sie den frostverhüllten Stadtrand erreicht, durchbrach ein Schrei die Stille. In einer schneebedeckten Gasse fanden sie die Ursache: Eine verwundete Crag Cat – eine Felsenkatze aus dem Gebirge – fraß gierig an einem gefrorenen Fisch, neben ihr die Leiche eines verstorbenen Fischers.

Die Situation war angespannt, aber die Gruppe handelte rasch und mit Bedacht. Anstatt das Tier zu töten, schalteten sie es aus und schafften es, die Katze lebendig wieder in die Wildnis zu entlassen – ein erstes Zeichen ihres Urteilsvermögens und Mitgefühls.

Sheriff Markham Southwell, alarmiert durch die Aufregung, fand bald zu ihnen. Beeindruckt von ihrem Handeln, führte er sie zur Townhall, wo sie mit Duvessa Shane zusammentrafen. Dort erfuhren sie mehr über die ernste Lage: Die Städte litten unter dem anhaltenden Frost, der durch den Fluch der Frostmaid Auril über das Land gelegt worden war. Nahrung war knapp, der Handel fast zum Erliegen gekommen, und das Vertrauen der Bevölkerung zerbrechlich wie dünnes Eis.

Duvessa hatte Hoffnung in diese fünf gelegt – Hoffnung auf Wandel. Und sie testete diese Hoffnung mit ersten Aufträgen:

Nebenquests wurden verteilt:

In Termalaine sollten sie eine schöne, aber gefährliche Mine untersuchen.

In Bremen galt es, ein Seeungeheuer zur Strecke zu bringen.

Eine weitere Aufgabe führte sie über eine gefrorene Bergbesteigung bei Targos.

Ortsinformationen und Warnungen folgten:
In Bryn Shander selbst begegneten sie zwielichtigen Gestalten in der Taverne Northlook, die von rauen Abenteurern geführt wurde. Dort befanden sich auch die Blackiron Blades, eine von Zwergen betriebene Schmiede, das House of the Morninglord, ein Tempel zu Ehren Lathanders, und das House of the Triad, geweiht Helm, Torm und Ilmater.

Der Name Arveiaturace fiel – eine uralte weiße Drachin, deren Revier ganz Icewind Dale umfasste. Und ein weiteres Grauen: Der Rote Yeti, ein blutrünstiges Biest, das selbst Yetis das Fürchten lehrte, streifte durch die Tundra. Mit ihm, so sagten selbst erfahrene Jäger, könne man nicht reden – nur rennen oder sterben.

Kurz darauf wurden die Gefährten von drei Zwergen um Hilfe gebeten: Ihre Eisenlieferung war überfallen worden – nicht von Banditen, sondern von einem Yeti. Das Eisen war in die Hände von Goblins aus Karkolohk gefallen. Die Gruppe spürte das Lager auf, besiegte die Goblins und ließ die Überlebenden ziehen – ein Zeichen von Stärke, aber auch von Gnade. Als Dank erhielten sie von den dankbaren Zwergen der Blackiron Blades einen dauerhaften Rabatt auf Waren und Dienstleistungen.

Doch der erste Abend voller Erfolg und Entspannung endete abrupt. Während sie in der Northlook den Abend ausklingen ließen, durchbrach plötzlich ein eisiges Messer die Wand der Taverne. Auf der anderen Seite lag eine tote Händlerstochter aus Easthaven – aufgespießt, durchbohrt, tot. Auf dem Boden erschien das Zeichen Aurils.

Die Morde waren kein Zufall. Schon bald wurde klar: In allen Ten-Towns wurden Menschen getötet – Menschen, die sich aus den Opferlotterien freigekauft hatten, um der Frostmaid zu entgehen.

Die alte Zwergenjägerin Hlin Trollbane offenbarte den wahren Schrecken: Ein Mann namens Sephek Kaltro, ein mutmaßlicher Frostdruide, war auf Rachemission. Er begleitete Torrga Icevein, eine brutale Händlerin mit dunklem Ruf, und zog durch die Städte, um Aurils Willen zu vollstrecken.

Die Gruppe erhielt ihre erste große Aufgabe:
🔍 Findet und stoppt den Cold-Hearted Killer, ehe noch mehr Unschuldige sterben.

Ein finsterer Schatten hatte sich über Icewind Dale gelegt – aber in Skalli und ihren Gefährten war ein Licht entfacht, das auch im tiefsten Frost brennen konnte.

Story:

The party has made their way back to Termalaine on their way to Lonelywood, trying to investigate about the frost druids that seem to stir unrest in Ten-towns. Stopping by their friends Martas home, the Eastside Inn, they found that Trog's caravan was currently in town and decided to pay them a visit.
Torrga Icevein's caravan consisted of three heavily laden dogsleds, each one pulled by six friendly sled dogs. One sled carried provisions and supplies for Torrga, her team, and her dogs. It flew a flag bearing the company’s emblem, a gold wolf’s paw on a black field. The other two sleds transported goods for sale, including cut wood, flint and tinder, flasks of whale oil, blankets, furs, rations, bottles of wine, casks of cheap ale, fake medicines, and vials of poison (used primarily for killing vermin).
Torg’s was an outdoor shop. Goods were unpacked and displayed in crates, with small canopies to keep the snow off them. Most of Torrga’s goods were stolen or fenced, and she sells them for double the normal price. She has a protection racket that earns her a little coin on the side, and she also commits murders for profit on the sly.
Torrga is interested only in profits, turned a blind eye to Sephek’s murderous escapades, and tried to help him as best she could without endangering her own life.
Sephek Kaltro was a well-built man in his thirties. He had an olive complexion, dark hair pulled back in a ponytail, and no facial or body hair. He dressed in a stylish vest with matching pants and boots, similar in style to those worn by mariners of the southern Sword Coast, but wore no armor or cold weather clothing and didnt’t appear to be armed. His most striking feature were his eyes, which were as blue as a frozen lake.
Because he was doing the Frostmaiden’s work, Sephek didnt’t care about getting caught and wasn't shy about admitting his guilt. In combat, he wielded a magical sword and magical daggers made of ice that he could conjure at will. He was also able to freely teleport short distanced in the snow and his wounds healed in the cold outside.
As Skalli sank her teeth into the mans throat, a blood-gurgling laught escaped Sephek: “You may destroy this mortal vessel, but Ten-Towns will not escape the Frostmaiden’s embrace. My sister will see to it!”
When Sephek drew his last breath, a cloud of icy vapor escaped his body and dispersed into the night.
Torrga and her bandits, seeing no use in a continued fight, struck a deal with the party. Coin, in exchange for leaving her and her crew well enough alone and keeping their pretty little mouths shut. Otherwise the party might find themselves being unable to buy something they need or denied lodging at a local inn because the merchant or proprietor don’t want to earn Torrga’s everlasting enmity. The charakters wisely accepted.

Bag of Tricks (Gray)
Adventuring Gear (Wondrous Item)
This ordinary bag, made from gray, rust, or tan cloth, appears empty. Reaching inside the bag, however, reveals the presence of a small, fuzzy object. The bag weighs 1/2 pound.
You can use an action to pull the fuzzy object from the bag and throw it up to 20 feet. When the object lands, it transforms into a creature you determine by rolling a d8 and consulting the table that corresponds to the bag's color. The creature vanishes at the next dawn or when it is reduced to 0 hit points.
The creature is friendly to you and your companions, and it acts on your turn. You can use a bonus action to command how the creature moves and what action it takes on its next turn, or to give it general orders, such as to attack your enemies. In the absence of such orders, the creature acts in a fashion appropriate to its nature.
Once three fuzzy objects have been pulled from the bag, the bag can't be used again until the next dawn.
Dzaan's Spellbook
A worn book with a red leather cover and yellow pages. The edges of the pages are stained with dry blood. The writing inside suggests the book is nothing more than a poetry anthology. However, it’s actually the spellbook of a Red Wizard of Thay named Dzaan. The book’s true contents are hidden by an illusory script spell.
After the book was confiscated by a member of the town militia, it was brought to the Town Hall, where a clerk saw fit to place it in this library for safe keeping. Casting dispel magic on the book ends the illusory script spell placed upon it. When the illusory script spell ends, the book’s true contents are revealed. It contains the following spells:
detect magic, disguise self, illusory script, magic missile, silent image, arcane lock, blur, invisibility, knock, levitate, mirror image, phantasmal force, fireball, major image, sending, slow
arcane eye, confusion, hallucinatory terrain, phantasmal killer, animate objects, conjure elemental, mislead, seeming
Vellynne Harpell's Spellbook
Vellynne’s spellbook has black leather covers around pages of ragged parchment, all wrapped in a crimson sash. The necromancer’s personal sigil is written in goat’s blood on the title page. The tome contains the spells: false life, find familiar, protection from evil and good, shield, Tenser's floating disk, blindness/deafness, magic weapon, bestow curse, remove curse, polymorph

Story:

The heroes have defeated Ravisins and accessed the Mirror of the Full Moon. While the moon dial lights its frame, the mirror functions like an crystal ball of scrying. The mirror is held to the wall with sovereign glue and can’t be removed without shattering it.

“Gaze upon your own face and have seven questions answered.”
1. Sahnar demonstrated how the mirror functions by using it to glean information about his descendants whereabouts and wellbeing. His halfelven grandson lives happy and well.
2. Aerlyn asked how her father was faring. He is well, but surrounded by mysterious men, wearing amulets made of black ice in the shape of a sword. He's serving food, tending to someone imprisoned.
3. Beru asked "Who am I?". The vision showed his birth to him. Has ancestry, his mother. It showed how he was cast into the icy lake for being to fragile of a goliath son. How he was saved by a werebear goliath and then brought to Bryn Shanders orphanage. And it showed him Helm, the God of Vigilance, who beckonned him to "protect them...".
4. Skalli asked how to end the Everlasting Rime. She was shown two Visions. First there was a gnome, dressed like a teddybear, asking for assistance and then a single ray of sunshine, falling onto a lonely Black Cabin beyond the woods. The second showed to her a massive glacier, unpassable by mortal means. The vision turned back t'wards an island deep in the sea of moving ice, which houses a fortress in the image of a crowned skull. A book clad in white in their hands, an old woman with white hair and an eyepatch and three kobolds in a trenchcoat. And finally just standing behind herself, Elric. As she was about to take her hand away from the mirrors surface, two icy blue eyes stared back at her, slowly freezing the edges of the mirror: "There you are..." The Frostmaiden has layed eyes on them.
Before fleeing the evlen tomb immediately, Aerlyn quickly used two more questions on the mirror, not letting the chance to unravel at least some of the unfolding events pass them.
5. Aerlyn asked about all the Chardalyn they've encountered on their journey so far. They saw duergar, stealing away in the dark of night. Bringing chardalyn to a hidden fortress deep in the mountains. They saw them forging weapons of war and a gargantuan construct, a dragon made entirely of chardalyn.
6. Aerlyn asked about the Everlasting Rime. She saw a giant woman with an owl mask and a staff with a chardalyn crystal on top of it. She mounted a massive predatory bird, flying into the night sky and casting some manner of spell, emboldening the endless snowfall.

Sahnar then urged the party to move along. They made their way into the wood, towards a frozen river. There they stumbled upon the crashside of a dogsled and a Halfling, burried head frist into a mount of snow. Osric Whisperwood was a member of another adventuring party hired by Duvessa Shane. They had been looking into climbing Kelvins Cairn and speaking with Oyaminartok, a werebear goliath and local legend said to have unique insight into the happenings of the dale. Sadly they were ambushed by a yeti in a blizzard. Osric had fled the scene together with 2 dogs to go and get help, buth got lost in the storm.
As they were gathering their wits, Auril herself appeared before the heroes. She spoke to them, offering sweet eternity as part of her eternal garden of ice and the beauty she's bring. Not understanding how these mortals couldn't fathom her work and ideals. She adsressed Skalli one last time before disappearing into the snow, the the lights came creeping in. A small army of Coldlight Walkers was approaching them, wounding them severely, almost killing some. (7th question answered) They managed to flee only by Sahnar's timely arrival. He had used the last of the mirrors power to see a way to save them from this doom, only to realize a sacrifice need be made. He joined onto the battlefield with a Forbiddance spell at the ready, which he had cast on his way and struck down against the undead, subsequently ending his own existance along with theirs. "Fly you fools...".

Horn of Blasting
Wondrous item, rare
You can use an action to speak the horn’s command word and then blow the horn, which emits a thunderous blast in a 30-foot cone that is audible 600 feet away. Each creature in the cone must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 5d6 thunder damage and is deafened for 1 minute. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn’t deafened. Creatures and objects made of glass or crystal have disadvantage on the saving throw and take 10d6 thunder damage instead of 5d6.
Each use of the horn’s magic has a 20 percent chance of causing the horn to explode. The explosion deals 10d6 fire damage to the blower and destroys the horn.

Info:
Nach der frostigen Nacht auf der Straße erreichten wir schließlich Termalaine – eine Bergbaustadt am Rande des gefrorenen Sees Maer Dualdon. Die winterliche Schönheit des Ortes war unübersehbar, doch darunter lag etwas Bröckelndes, wie Risse im Eis.

Wir wurden empfangen von Sprecher Oarus Masthew, einem gutmütigen Mann, der mehr Rückgrat hatte, als es auf den ersten Blick schien. Er erzählte uns von einem Problem in der Mine: Kobolde hatten sich dort eingenistet. Kein Blutvergießen. Kein Überfall. Nur... Angst. Die Bergleute hatten die Arbeit niedergelegt, als sie die kleinen Kreaturen sahen, und waren geflohen. Oarus’ Stimme zitterte vor Frustration, als er erklärte, dass selbst die Stadtmiliz sich weigerte, seine Befehle zu befolgen.

Er vermutete politischen Einfluss aus Targos, doch hatte keine Beweise – nur das nagende Gefühl, dass etwas in der Stadt gegen ihn arbeitete.

Trotzdem setzte er seine Hoffnung in uns. Wenn wir das Minenproblem lösten, könnten Handel und Wohlstand zurückkehren – und seine Position als Sprecher wäre wieder sicher.
Die schöne Mine und ihre unheimlichen Schatten

In den Tiefen der sogenannten „wunderschönen Mine“ trafen wir bald auf die Kobolde. Sie hatten sich dorthin geflüchtet, nachdem ein Yeti sie aus ihrer Höhle am Kelvin’s Cairn vertrieben hatte. Einer von ihnen, Thwip, geriet versehentlich in unsere Hände – und führte uns prompt zu den anderen.

Ihr Anführer war Trex – zumindest schien er es zu sein. Trex sprach klug, fast schon gelehrt, und benahm sich gänzlich untypisch für einen Kobold. Schnell merkten wir, dass mehr dahintersteckte.

Wie sich herausstellte, war Trex vom Geist eines verstorbenen Gelehrten namens Janth besessen. Dieser hatte einst die Flora von Icewind Dale studiert und war in der Nähe der Mine gestorben. Sein Geist hatte die Kobolde während eines Schneesturms entdeckt und in Trex einen Wirt gefunden – ohne dessen Wissen. Janths Plan: sich in einen einflussreicheren Körper einnisten.

Doch bevor es dazu kommen konnte, fanden wir ihn. Und in einem dunklen, schwebenden Winkel der Mine wartete auf uns noch etwas anderes: ein Grell – ein hirnsaugendes Monster mit Fangtentakeln. Gemeinsam besiegten wir es, und schließlich konnten wir Janths rastlosen Geist zur Ruhe bringen.

Doch nicht, bevor Elric in seinen Bann geriet und – wie durch ein grausames Wunder – um zwanzig Jahre alterte, während wir alle zusehen mussten. Er versuchte zu scherzen... aber ich sah es in seinen Augen. Der Schock saß tief.
Ein neuer Anfang für die Kleinen

Nachdem Trex von Janths Einfluss befreit war, fiel er in sein altes, nervöses Ich zurück – verwirrt, aber friedlich. Wir sprachen erneut mit Oarus. Zuerst war er zögerlich, die Kobolde in der Stadt zu dulden. Doch als er hörte, dass sie arbeiten wollten – ehrliche Arbeit – willigte er ein.

Die Kobolde wurden in einfachen Aufgaben unterwiesen und erwiesen sich schnell als fleißig. Die Stadtbewohner verspotteten sie anfangs, doch das Lächeln wich, als sie merkten, wie ernst die kleinen Kreaturen ihre zweite Chance nahmen.

Skallis Gedanken:

„Trex war nicht gefährlich – er war besessen. Aber wer sagt, dass die Geister hier im Norden jemals wirklich ruhen? Sie flüstern... manchmal spüre ich sie auch.“

Mit der Mine befreit, den Grell erschlagen, einem Geist zur Ruhe verholfen und den Kobolden eine neue Zukunft eröffnet, verließen wir Termalaine mit dem Gefühl, das Richtige getan zu haben. Doch das Echo von Janths Gedanken hallte noch immer tief im Gestein wider.

Und Elrics graue Schläfen erinnerten uns daran, wie dünn der Schleier zwischen Leben und Tod hier draußen wirklich ist.

Loot: 25gp

Info:
Die Gefährten durchsuchen das Grab und fanden den Leichnam der Elfenkriegerin die sie als Beenhee besiegt hatten und den Leichnam von Ravisin´s Bruder Vonis. Sahnar erklärte den Spiegel der sich in den Grab befindet der Mirrow of the Fullmoon (Kristalball). Er aktivierte den Spiegel für uns und wir hatten 7 Fragen die wir stellen konnten.
1. Sahnar stellte die frage wie es seinen Nachfahren geht: gut haben ein Halbelfenkind.
2. Aerlyn wollte wissen wie es ihren Vater geht. Gut, befindet sich in einer Festung in Caer-Dineval wo alle Beowhner Chardalynketten tragen. Er kümmert sich um jemanden der eingesperrt ist.
3. Beru wollte wissen was er ist. Sah wie er geboren wurde, ausgesetzt wurde, und gerettet wurde.
4. Skalli stellte die Frage wie sie den Ewigen Winter loswerden. Sie sah zwei Visionen. Die erste enthielt einen Gnom in einen Tempel. Von ihm zu einer einsamem Hütte im Norden wo ein einzelner Sonnenstrahl darauffällt. Die zweite Vision enthielt einen Gletscher die Gruppe mit Verbündeten vor standen konnten nichzt passieren. Von dort auf eine Insel mit einer Festung die aussieht wie ein Schädel und einer Krone darauf. Ein weiß eingehülltes Buch in den Händen. Eine weishaarige Frau mit einer Augenklappe (Vellynne) und drei Kobolde in einen Trenchcoat. Elric.
Als Skalli die Hand vom Spiegel weg nehmen wollte, starrten sie zwei eisblaue Augen an und sagten: "Da bist du." Sie schreckte zurück, stieß an die Wand und lies sich an dieser herrunterrutschen, sichtlich verstört und ängstlich.
5. Sahnar stellte eine Frage um uns in diesen Moment am besten zu helfen. Er sah einen Schlitten den ein Halfling steuerte, dieser wurde von zwei Schlittenhunde gezogen und von einer Lawine Floh. Sein Schlitten steckte fest und er Kopf über im Schnee steckte.
6. Aerlyn fragte was es mit den Chardalyn auf sich hat. Sie sieht Duregar die im Schutz der dunkelheit Charderlyn abbauen und in einer Festung Waffen herstellen. Ein konstrukt ist sichtbar das einen Drachen ähnelt der komplett aus Chardalyn besteht.
7. Aerlyn fragte was es mit den Ever lasting Rime aufsich hat. Sie sah eine Frau mit einer Eulenmaske und einen Stab dessen Spitze ein Stück Reinen Charderlyn trug. Sie sattelte einen Großen Adler um in der Nacht über Eiswind Dale zu vielen und einen Spell zu casten der den Schnee mehr bringt.

Durch Skallis Frage gefunden suchte die gruppe den schlitten und zog den Halbling aus den Schnee. Kurz darauf kam aus den Blizzard eine Gestallt die Skalli fixierte. Die Frostmaid hatte sie gefunden. Doch sie Sprach nur und schitt langsam auf sie zu. Sie drehte nach wenigen schritten um als sie fertig war mit den Worten die sie an Skalli richtete hatte. Aus den Wald kamen Lichter. Die Geister derer die geopfert oder getötet wurden. Die gruppe konnte nur gerade so dem Frost tot entkommen doch verloren dabei Beru Axbeak Chonk der zu Eis erstarrte. Wir kamen bei Nimsy Huddle wieder an und erzählen was passiert was. Bekamen die versprochene Belohnung und verbringen die Nacht dort.

Story:

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

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

Story:

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

Biography

Skalli, erblickte das Licht der Welt in den eisigen Weiten von Icewind Dale. Sie wuchs im Tribe of the Wolf der Reghed-Barbaren auf, die nomadisch durch die gefrorene Tundra zogen. Ihre Geburt war von Anfang an ungewöhnlich, denn sie kam in einer stürmischen Winternacht zur Welt, während die Nordlichter den Himmel erhellten und der Vollmond sein bleiches Licht über die Landschaft ergoss. Als die Heilerin, die als Hebamme fungierte, das Kind zu den Eltern brachte, waren sie erstaunt über das, was sie sahen. Skalli hatte weißes Haar, spitze Wolfohren und einen buschigen Schwanz, und als sie ihre Augen öffnete, blickten sie in eisblaue Wolfsaugen.

Ihr Vater, ein Mitglied des Gray Wolf Tribe, war ein stolzer Uthgardt-Barbar, der sich unter dem Einfluss des Vollmonds in einen wilden Werwolf verwandelte. Anders als die meisten, die ihre Lykanthropie als Fluch betrachteten, sah er es als ein Erbe an, das es zu akzeptieren galt. Skallis Mutter hingegen war eine Shamanin aus dem Tribe of the Wolf, die sich unsterblich in Skallis Vater verliebte, ungeachtet der Unterschiede und Herausforderungen, die ihre Beziehung mit sich brachte. Trotz ihrer offensichtlichen Andersartigkeit wurde Skalli von ihren Eltern bedingungslos geliebt und im den Tribe of the Wolf aufgezogen. Sie lernte die Kunst des Überlebens in der gnadenlosen Kälte und die Wege der Jagd von den erfahrenen Jägern ihres Stammes.

Doch die Zeiten wurden düster in Icewind Dale. Strengere Winter, feindliche Stammeskonflikte und eine unwirkliche Dunkelheit, die die Sonne verdeckte, legten sich über ihre Heimat. Die verschiedenen Stämme begannen sich gegenseitig aufzureiben, und der Tribe verlor viele seiner Mitglieder sowohl an Feindseligkeiten als auch an Hunger und der gnadenlosen Kälte. Unter den Opfern waren auch Skallis Eltern. Zuerst verschwand ihr Vater eines Tages spurlos, und dann erkrankte ihre Mutter schwer. Skalli versuchte verzweifelt, ihr zu helfen, doch die Krankheit erwies sich als fast unheilbar.

In einem verzweifelten Versuch, ihre kranke Mutter zu retten, begab sie sich auf die Suche nach einem mächtigen Druiden, von dem sie hörte, dass er möglicherweise helfen könnte. Doch was sie fand, war ein groteskes Ritual, das Auril geweiht war, der Göttin des Winters. Ihr Instinkt schrie, dass etwas daran falsch und verdorben war. Ohne zu zögern, unterbrach Skalli das Ritual und brachte dem offensichtlichen Frostdruiden den Gnadenstoß.

Völlig verzweifelt machte sie sich auf den Rückweg, um ihrer Mutter in ihren letzten Momenten beizustehen, doch auf dem Weg zurück zu ihrem Tribe wurde sie überrascht. Ein mysteriöser Pfeil, der von unsichtbarer Hand abgeschossen worden war, durchbohrte ihre Brust. Sie konnte nur den Schaft und die Feder des Pfeils entfernen, während die Spitze in ihrer Brust stecken blieb, und sie begann immer kälter zu werden. Im Moment der herannahenden Bewusstlosigkeit hatte Skalli eine merkwürdige Vision von einem weißen Wolf mit schwarzen Klauen und Fangzähnen, der ihr eine rätselhafte Botschaft übermittelte. Als sie wieder zu sich kam, fand sie sich in dem vertrauten Zelt der Stammesheilerin wieder, die sie mit einem mysteriösen Kristall aus Eis an ihrer Brust vorfand, der sie vor dem sicheren Tod bewahrt hatte.

Doch die Rettung war von einem Preis begleitet, den Skalli erst allmählich zu verstehen begann. So entschloss sie sich auf eine gefährliche Reise zu begeben, auf der Suche nach Antworten, Verbündeten und einem Weg, sich von dem Pfeilkopf zu befreien. Die Suche nach einer Lösung, die sie von ihrem eisigen Schicksal befreien würde, begann, während sie durch die eisigen Schneefelder von Icewind Dale zog.

Skalli, auch bekannt als Frostgaze, ist eine imposante Gestalt, die die Erscheinung eines Wolfes mit der Anmut einer Kriegerin vereint. Ihre schneeweißen, überschulterlangen Haare fallen wild und ungezähmt über ihre Schultern, wobei einige Strähnen zu geflochtenen Zöpfen gebunden sind. Die Wolfsohren, die aus ihrem Haar herausragen, und der buschige Schwanz verleihen ihr ein animalisches Aussehen, während ihre eisblauen Wolfsaugen wie leuchtendes, ewiges Eis funkeln, was ihr den bezeichnenden Titel "Frostgaze" einbrachte.

Ihr jugendliches Gesicht zeigt ungesund blasser Haut, und ihre körperlichen Merkmale wirken trotz ihrer Kraft und Stärke zerbrechlicher als sie tatsächlich ist. Die Kälte ihrer Heimat verbirgt oft ihre Haut, doch die Tribe-Tattoos auf ihrem Körper, insbesondere diejenigen in ihrem Gesicht, sind deutlich sichtbar. Diese Tattoos scheinen sich je nach Skallis Stimmung zu bewegen und zu verändern, von einem leichten Himmelblau bis zu einem strahlenden Tiefblau oder sogar rötlichen Nuancen.

In der Regel kleidet sich Skalli in Leder- und Pelzkleidung in erdigen Braun- und Beigetönen. Sie trägt einen dicken Mantel mit Pelzbesatz und Kapuze, den sie tief ins Gesicht zieht, um sich vor den eisigen Winden zu schützen. Ihre Lederstiefel und Handschuhe sind ebenfalls robust und warm gefüttert, passend für die unwirtlichen Bedingungen ihrer Umgebung und im Stil der Reghed Barbarians gehalten.

Ein blauer Kristall in der Mitte ihrer Brust bedeckt einen Pfeilkopf aus Ewigen Eis, der dort steckt, ein stummer Zeuge vergangener Kämpfe und eines unheimlichen Fluchs. Skalli versteckt diesen Kristall geschickt unter ihrem Pelz und Leder, sodass er nur bei genauem Hinsehen erkennbar ist. Es scheint, als würden die blauen Tattoos auf ihrer Haut um den Kristall herum pulsieren und sich verändern.

Als Ausdruck ihrer Loyalität trägt Skalli stets ein geschnitztes Spirit Token aus Holz bei sich, das einen majestätischen Wolf darstellt. Zusätzlich führt sie ein Großschwert und zwei Handäxte mit sich, wenngleich sie diese Waffen nur selten einsetzt, da ihre Angeborenen Fähigkeiten sie oft mehr als ausreichend bewaffnen.
