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...".

Story:

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

The party has reached 4th 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.

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.

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."

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."

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.

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.

Story:

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

Story:

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

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

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:

Quest: Black Swords
Outcome 2: Routing the Cultists
If the characters rout the cultists and release Speaker Crannoc Siever, the speaker asks them to call out the town militia so that the castle can be refortified. Henceforth, the speaker lets the characters rest at the castle whenever they need to. His home is their home, so to speak. Characters will quickly learn that the speaker is a blowhard and firebrand who enjoys living like a king behind his castle walls.
Without their leaders, Kadroth and Hethyl, the Knights of the Black Sword are rudderless until Redacted finally steps up to fill the power vacuum. The characters are doomed to cross paths with the cultists again.
Fated Ally (eliminated?): Avarice and the cultists can never again become allies to the party in the upcoming events.

Cauldron of Plenty
Wondrous item, rare
This cauldron is made of thick copper that has turned green with age. It is 4 feet wide, has a mouth 3½ feet in diameter, weighs 50 pounds, and can hold up to 30 gallons of liquid. 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.

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

Story:

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

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
...
Beru Chillwind Akannathi -1 Level in Hexblade warlock recieved:
Oyaminartok's Legacy. This pole has a metal hook and a reinforced iron tip to break ice and provide additional safety when hiking through glaciers or steep mountain passes. There is a small indentation on the middle handle that, when pressed, extends a fishing rod at the bottom.
Temperate. The bearer suffers no harm in temperatures as cold as −20 degrees Fahrenheit or as warm as 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Spellcasting Sercives:

-450gp Greater Restoration
Mishann [House of the Morninglord]

Story:

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

Story:

The Party has 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

As sure as night she’s dead.

Info:
Wir reisten nach Brynshander zurück und mussten im Haus des Morninglords Elric entfluchen lassen.
Danach kehrten wir in die Taverne, die anderen inspezieren den Kristall und Skalli Trinkt solange bis sie Voll war. Und etwas zu kuschelig mit Elric wurde. Sie schlief auf seinen Schoss ein und wurde von Beru ins Bett gebracht. Als die Nacht verstrich wurde Skalli von unruigen Träumen von Schnee, Nacht und Blauen auge ungut aus den Schlaf gerissen am Morgen. Nach einen sehr peinlichen Morgen reiste die Gruppe nach Tagos wo sie den Toten Kylan fanden der eingefroren und auf gespiest wurde von einen stärkeren Spell als Frostknive. Das Zeichen von Auril enstand um den Späher. Er wurde von hinten erstochen, und war schon am Vortag tot. Er hat eine Karte mit einer Rute von einer Karavane die um den Maer Dualdon reist. (Mörderquest) Danach reisten wir weiter nach Bremen. Dorbulgruf Shalescar ist der Sprecher (600 Jahre alter Zwerg der schon Senil ist). Wurden von Grynsk Berylbore erst begrüßt der erst sehr skeptisch war doch als wir uns mit den Elf Tali, ein Naturforscher der die Quest nach Brynshander geschickt hat. Er erzählt uns von den Seemonster und gibt uns zwei Boote um auf den Fluss zu fahren.

(noch eine Nacht entspannen, Infos Sammeln, was trinken -> bei Trance Water Vehicles besorgen -> am nächsten Morgen ab auf den See mit dem Boot)

Nach einer Rückkehr nach Bryn Shander mussten wir zuerst eine dringende Angelegenheit klären: Elric war durch den unheimlichen Geist in der Mine um zwanzig Jahre gealtert. Im Haus des Morgenherrn, einem Tempel Lathanders, gelang es schließlich, diesen Fluch zu brechen. Doch der Preis war hoch – und der Schrecken saß tief.

Zurück in der Taverne versuchten wir, die Kristallscherben und die Hinweise auf die Opferungen an Auril zu untersuchen. Skalli trank in der Zwischenzeit... mehr, als sie sollte. Irgendwann wurde sie etwas zu zutraulich gegenüber Elric, legte sich auf seinen Schoß und schlief dort schließlich ein. Beru brachte sie später ins Bett.

In der Nacht wurde Skalli von unruhigen Träumen heimgesucht – von Schnee, endloser Dunkelheit und einem kalten, blauen Auge, das sie durchdrang. Sie wachte mit einem Gefühl tiefen Unbehagens auf.
🩸 Ein verlorener Gefährte in Targos

Am nächsten Morgen reisten wir nach Targos – und fanden dort, was keiner von uns sich je gewünscht hätte: Kylan, unser Gefährte, war tot.

Sein Körper war eingefroren, durchbohrt und aufgespießt von einem Zauber, der stärker war als alles, was wir kannten – Frostknife konnte es nicht gewesen sein. Rund um seinen Leichnam formte sich das Zeichen Aurils im Schnee. Er war von hinten erstochen worden, offenbar schon am Vortag.

Bei ihm fanden wir eine Karte, die eine Route einer Karawane zeigte – sie reiste rund um den Maer Dualdon. Ein weiterer Hinweis in der Mörderquest, die uns schon seit Bryn Shander verfolgt hatte.
🌊 Das Seemonster von Bremen

Mit schwerem Herzen reisten wir weiter nach Bremen, wo uns bereits der schrullige Sprecher Dorbulgruf Shalescar erwartete – ein über sechshundert Jahre alter, leicht seniler Zwerg. Erst begrüßte uns Grynsk Berylbore, ein misstrauischer Fischer, der uns mit Argwohn begegnete. Doch als Tali, ein halbelfischer Naturforscher, uns erkannte, änderte sich die Stimmung.

Tali hatte uns die Quest überhaupt erst vermittelt: Ein Seemonster im Maer Dualdon, das die Fischer in Angst versetzte. Er vermutete, dass der endlose Winter dessen Verhalten verändert hatte.

Wir verbrachten eine Nacht im Ort, sammelten Informationen, besorgten ein Boot bei Trance Water Vehicles, tranken etwas – manche mehr als geplant – und legten am nächsten Morgen ab. Zwei kleine Boote glitten hinaus in den Nebel.
🐍 Nessie erwacht

Während wir auf dem See Knucklehead-Forellen angeln, sammelten wir Hinweise: Vögel, Spuren, Bewegungsmuster. Bald war uns klar: Es handelte sich um einen erweckten Plesiosaurier – ein urtümliches Wesen, das auf magische Weise intelligent geworden war.

Dann erschien sie:
Ein langer, schuppiger Hals durchbrach die Wasseroberfläche, eine reptilienhafte Schnauze, kalte Augen. Doch statt zu beißen, sprach sie:

„Ich höre.“

Wir nannten sie Nessie.

Nessie erzählte uns von ihrer Erwachung – durch eine Druidin namens Ravisin, die sich selbst als Dienerin der Frostmaid bezeichnete. Ravisin hatte ihr befohlen, Angst unter Bremens Fischern zu verbreiten, als Teil von Aurils Willen. Nessie hatte Angst, dass sie ihre Intelligenz verlieren würde, wenn sie sich weigerte.

Wir erklärten ihr, dass diese Gabe dauerhaft war – dass sie niemals wieder ein dummes Tier sein würde. Nessie zögerte. Dann versprach sie uns, keine Fischer mehr anzugreifen.
🧪 Belohnung & Begegnungen

Zurück in Bremen erwartete uns bereits Grynsk, der neugierig nach der Ausbeute fragte. Wir gaben ihm die gefangenen Forellen – und er bezahlte wie versprochen, wenn auch knausrig: 5 Kupfer pro Fisch.

Tali war begeistert über den friedlichen Ausgang und schenkte uns als Dank eine Schriftrolle für Tierfreundschaft sowie einen kleinen Beutel mit 5 Goldmünzen. Er zog sich ins Gasthaus Buried Treasures zurück, um seine Notizen zu studieren.

Dort trafen wir auch auf Marta Peskryk, eine willowy junge Bardin aus dem Eastside Inn in Termalaine. Sie war nach Bremen gereist, um Medizin für ihren kranken Vater Clyde zu besorgen. Abends sang sie ein altes Lied:

Ahead of winter’s wind she came—
The lovely woman with no name...

Sie erzählte von einer mysteriösen Frau im roten Mantel, die vor über fünfzig Jahren im Eastside Inn Zuflucht gesucht hatte – nur um von einem bösen Wind heimgesucht zu werden. Die Frau verschwand spurlos. Marta erbte den Ring, den sie damals als Bezahlung hinterließ – einen Ring der Wärme. Überzeugt, dass wir den Fluch des Winters brechen könnten, schenkte sie uns den Ring als Glücksbringer.
💔 Cora und ihr verlorener Sohn

Am Morgen beim Frühstück konnte die Wirtin Cora Mulphoon ihre Fassade nicht mehr aufrechterhalten. Sie brach vor uns zusammen – nicht wegen der Wirtschaft, sondern wegen ihres Sohnes Huarwar, der vor zwei Monaten verschwand.

Er war mit einer Suchgruppe aufgebrochen, um den Sprecher zu finden, kehrte frostverletzt zurück – verändert. Kalt. Aggressiv. Kurz darauf tauchten zwei Tieflinge auf, trugen Amulette aus schwarzem Eis, genau wie das, was Cora in Huarwars Zimmer gefunden hatte. Er ging mit ihnen – freiwillig – und sagte, er würde nie zurückkehren.

Sie erinnerte sich vage an ein Wort: „Schloss“. Und sie wusste, es gibt nur zwei:
Caer-Dineval und Caer-Konig.

Skallis Gedanken:

Eis, das verändert. Magie, die lügt. Druidinnen, die Tiere zu Werkzeugen machen. Und nun Kinder, die sich in Monster verwandeln... Der Winter frisst sich tiefer in die Herzen der Menschen, als ich es für möglich hielt.

Als die Gefährten am nächsten Tag aufwachten gab es erst mal Frühstück (Kylan hatte sich ne Krippe eingefangen und musste zurückbleiben, kommt aber nach), Skalli entpuppte sich als Morgenmuffel und als Elric ihren Kopf von seinen Karten wegschiebte (während sie unordentlich vor sich hin Mampfte) verhielt sie sich dezent seltsam. Und musste sich von den anderen entfernen. Die anderen kamen ihr nach und nachdem sie sich kurz trennten und Skalli mit Beru sein Reittier vom Stall abholten (wo er ihr ein stück von den Fleisch seines Tieres zuwarf und sie es instinktif mit den Mundauffing) eine etwas peinliche situation enstand. Danach tragen sie sich wieder auf den Hauptmarkt. Eine Alte ettlerin enpupte sich als Beldora, verkaufte an Elric Thieftools und gab sich ihm als Harfnerin. Die ihn als Freun sah und sagte das er auf sich aufpassen sollte, danach verschwand sie wieder in ihrer Verkleidung.

Vellynn Search:
“Adventurers, I presume? Pleased to meet you. My name’s Vellynn, Wizard of the Arcane Brotherhood in Luskan. I have a minor task – not a task, really, just a request. A colleague of mine, a younger woman named Nass Lantomir, was supposed to meet me here in Ten-Towns, but I have had a hard time finding her. I’d be very grateful if you could keep an eye out for her. She has dark hair, glasses, and may be carrying an orb of quartz – about this big – with her. If you hear or see anything, let me know – I’ll give you 25 gp for any clue that leads me to her.” Ihr Bodygard is: "Literally 3 Kobolds in a Trenchcoat" als Skalli das feststellt fängt sie lauthals zu lachen an.

Dannika´s Chwinga Research:
Dannika Graysteel, gibt der Gruppe Laternen um Twinga kleine Naturgeister die in Icewind Dale leben aufzuspühren. (Will diese wohl Erforschen)

Auf der Reise von Bryn Shander nach Targos war es recht ereignislos doch alls sie die Stadt betraten ergab sich ohnen ein Schrecklicher anblick. Ein Mann war in der mitte des großen Platzes völlig nackt an einen Pfal gebunden und mit Eiswasser überschüttet. Uns wurde erklärt das dieser in er loterie gewonnen hatte. Skalli wusste das dies ein Auril Opfer war doch die anderen fragten die leute die darum standen und flüsstern. Diese erklärten das der Naerth Maxildanarr der Sprächer von Targos hat vorgeschlagen Opfer an Auril zu bringen nachdem. Vurnis Frostdruidin (Die Skallis Clan vesucht hat davon zu überzeugen Opfer an die Frostmaid zu bringen, doch die Clanführerin hat es abgelehnt) die mit einen Weiteren Druiden in die Stadt kam.
Ravisin Bruder von Vurnis, sind nach dem sie Targos besucht haben nach Lonlywood. Nachdem sie sich kurz noch mit den Bewohnern unterhalten hatten und Skalli weiter die szene anstarrte (und ihre Hand Blutig wurde von zusammen drücken) reisten sie weiter nach Termalaine. Auf den Weg dahin wurden sie von 2 Cragcats angegriffen die sie nach kurzen schreck ausschalteten. Skalli konnte mit hilfe von Aerlyn. Einen schönen Pelz abziehen und einiges an Fleisch rausschneiden. Durch diese zeitaufwändige verarbeitung konnten sie jedoch nicht gleich in der Stadt ankommen und schlugen ein lager auf. In Skallis wache bemerkte sie einen Owlbären der sich anschlich doch sie konnte noch rechtzeitig alarmschlagen. Als Beru aus den Zelt kam und das Tier anbrüllte wich dieser zurück und nach einen weiteren Knurren von Skalli machte dieser sich aus den Staub. Sie konnten so weiter Rasten und am nächsten Tag kamen sie in Termalaine an.

Nachdem wir Bryn Shander hinter uns gelassen hatten, führte uns der Weg durch das gefrorene Herz der Zehn-Städte. Auf dem Weg nach Termalaine machten wir zunächst Halt in Targos – doch statt willkommen geheißen zu werden, wurden wir Zeugen eines Anblicks, der selbst uns abgehärtete Reisende verstummen ließ.

Mitten auf dem großen Platz stand ein Mann, nackt und bis auf die Knochen durchgefroren, an einen Pfahl gebunden. Man hatte ihn mit Eiswasser übergossen – ein Todesurteil in dieser Kälte. Die Stimme in meinem Inneren sagte sofort: Ein Opfer an Auril. Die anderen fragten nach. Die Antwort kam leise und schuldbewusst: Naerth Maxildanarr, Sprecher von Targos, hatte vorgeschlagen, Menschen an die Frostmaid zu opfern – beeinflusst durch eine Druidenfrau namens Vurnis.

Vurnis... eine, die auch meinen Clan zu bekehren versuchte. Doch unsere Führerin hatte sich ihr widersetzt. Ich war stolz. Und wütend. Meine Hand blutete, als ich sie zu fest zur Faust ballte.

Wir erfuhren, dass Vurnis' Bruder, Ravisin, inzwischen nach Lonelywood weitergezogen war – mit weiteren dunklen Absichten. Doch für jetzt galt unsere Aufmerksamkeit Termalaine.
Unterwegs – Zwischen Schnee und Schatten

Der Weg dorthin war zuerst ruhig – bis uns zwei Cragcats aus dem Hinterhalt angriffen. Mit Aerlyns Hilfe konnte ich eine der Raubkatzen sauber abhäuten und das Fleisch verarbeiten – genug für ein gutes Mahl. Doch die Zeit, die wir dafür brauchten, kostete uns das Tageslicht. Statt in der Stadt einzutreffen, schlugen wir ein Lager im offenen Gelände auf.

In meiner Nachtwache roch ich ihn zuerst – schwer, tierisch, gefährlich. Ein Owlbär pirschte sich heran. Ich schlug Alarm. Beru sprang aus dem Zelt und brüllte das Biest an, mit einer Autorität, die selbst mich beeindruckte. Ich stimmte mit einem tiefen Knurren ein. Der Owlbär zog sich zurück – keine Verletzten, kein Kampf. Nur Respekt.

Am nächsten Morgen erreichten wir Termalaine.
Begegnung mit der Arkanen Bruderschaft

Noch vor der Stadt trafen wir auf zwei Fremde. Die eine stellte sich als Vellynne Harpell vor, eine Zauberin der Arkanen Bruderschaft aus Luskan. Alt, grimmig, aber bestimmt. Sie bat uns nicht direkt um Hilfe – vielmehr äußerte sie eine Bitte:

„Eine Kollegin von mir, Nass Lantomir, ist hier irgendwo in den Zehn-Städten unterwegs. Dunkles Haar, Brille, eine etwa so große Quarzkugel. Wenn ihr sie seht – gebt mir Bescheid. 25 Gold für jeden Hinweis.“

Als sie sich umdrehte, sah ich ihre „Leibwache“ – drei Kobolde, in einem übergroßen Mantel übereinandergestapelt. Ich lachte so laut, dass selbst Aerlyn zusammenzuckte.

Begleitet wurde Vellynne von Dannika Graustahl, einer eifrigen Forscherin, die versuchte, das Klima Icewind Dales zu studieren – und zu verändern. Sie übergab uns magische Fährtenleser-Laternen, um sogenannte Chwinga zu finden – kleine Naturgeister, die hier irgendwo durch den Schnee huschten. Sie meinte, sie könnten uns helfen. Ich war skeptisch. Aber ich nahm die Laterne trotzdem.
Skallis Morgen und Beldoras Warnung

Am nächsten Morgen war ich nicht in Bestform. Kylan hatte sich eine Krippe eingefangen und blieb zurück – er wollte später nachkommen. Ich hingegen... nun ja, ich bin kein Morgenmensch. Als Elric versuchte, mir die Karten vom Frühstückstisch zu wischen, um besser zu lesen, reagierte ich... merkwürdig. Ich musste raus.

Beru folgte mir. Wir gingen gemeinsam zu den Ställen, um ihre Reittiere zu holen. Als Beru mir ein Stück Fleisch von seinem Tier zuwarf, fing ich es instinktiv – mit dem Mund. Ja... das war unangenehm. Ich glaube, ich habe geglüht.

Zurück auf dem Markt trafen wir eine ältere Bettlerin, die sich an Elric heranmachte. Er kaufte ihr Diebeswerkzeug ab – nur um festzustellen, dass sie Beldora war, eine Späherin der Harfner. Sie warnte ihn: „Pass auf dich auf.“ Dann verschwand sie wieder in der Menge, als wäre sie nie da gewesen.

Ausblick:
Termalaine lag nun vor uns – eine Stadt, die ebenfalls in Gefahr schien. Der Schatten von Auril, von Ravisin und von einem gewissen Sephek Kaltro reichte weiter, als wir ahnten. Doch wir waren nicht allein.

Skalli spürte: Die Kälte ist nicht das Schlimmste hier draußen.
Es ist das, was sich hinter ihr verbirgt.

Loot:

Lantern of Tracking (Elementals)
Wondrous item, common

This hooded lantern burns for 6 hours on 1 pint of oil, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet.

Each lantern of tracking is designed to track down a certain type of creature, which is determined by rolling on the Lantern of Tracking table. Once determined, this creature type can’t be changed. While the lantern is within 300 feet of any creature of that type, its flame turns bright green. The lantern doesn’t pinpoint the creature’s exact location, however.

Story:

The 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...".

Story:

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

The party has reached 4th 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.

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.

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."

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."

Cauldron of Plenty
Wondrous item, rare

This cauldron is made of thick copper that has turned green with age. It is 4 feet wide, has a mouth 3½ feet in diameter, weighs 50 pounds, and can hold up to 30 gallons of liquid. 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.

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.

Story:

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

Story:

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

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

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

Story:

Quest: Black Swords
Outcome 2: Routing the Cultists
If the characters rout the cultists and release Speaker Crannoc Siever, the speaker asks them to call out the town militia so that the castle can be refortified. Henceforth, the speaker lets the characters rest at the castle whenever they need to. His home is their home, so to speak. Characters will quickly learn that the speaker is a blowhard and firebrand who enjoys living like a king behind his castle walls.
Without their leaders, Kadroth and Hethyl, the Knights of the Black Sword are rudderless until Redacted finally steps up to fill the power vacuum. The characters are doomed to cross paths with the cultists again.
Fated Ally (eliminated?): Avarice and the cultists can never again become allies to the party in the upcoming events.

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

Story:

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

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
...
Beru Chillwind Akannathi -1 Level in Hexblade warlock recieved:
Oyaminartok's Legacy. This pole has a metal hook and a reinforced iron tip to break ice and provide additional safety when hiking through glaciers or steep mountain passes. There is a small indentation on the middle handle that, when pressed, extends a fishing rod at the bottom.
Temperate. The bearer suffers no harm in temperatures as cold as −20 degrees Fahrenheit or as warm as 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
[This item is RaimundoO's Pact weapon and does not exists as a magic item outside of this Hardcover. It is just fun flavor.]

After having completed 1 Sidequest in service to Bryn Shander the party has reached 2nd Level!

Spellcasting Sercives:

-450gp Greater Restoration
Mishann [House of the Morninglord]

Story:

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

Story:

The Party has 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

Ahead of winter’s wind she came—

To the icy lake she fled;
The wind pursued her all the same—
As sure as night she’s dead.

Ihr Sohn war mal eine nachtlang verschwunden und kam mit einem Schwarzen Eiskristall zurück über den er Posessiv wirkte. Am nächsten Tag wo sie den Kristall anfaste rastete er fast aus. Danach kamen Tieflinge die ihm Anboten in einen Schloss. Seine Mutter möchte ihn wieder heim kommt.

Info:
Wir reisten nach Brynshander zurück und mussten im Haus des Morninglords Elric entfluchen lassen.
Danach kehrten wir in die Taverne, die anderen inspezieren den Kristall und Skalli Trinkt solange bis sie Voll war. Und etwas zu kuschelig mit Elric wurde. Sie schlief auf seinen Schoss ein und wurde von Beru ins Bett gebracht. Als die Nacht verstrich wurde Skalli von unruigen Träumen von Schnee, Nacht und Blauen auge ungut aus den Schlaf gerissen am Morgen. Nach einen sehr peinlichen Morgen reiste die Gruppe nach Tagos wo sie den Toten Kylan fanden der eingefroren und auf gespiest wurde von einen stärkeren Spell als Frostknive. Das Zeichen von Auril enstand um den Späher. Er wurde von hinten erstochen, und war schon am Vortag tot. Er hat eine Karte mit einer Rute von einer Karavane die um den Maer Dualdon reist. (Mörderquest) Danach reisten wir weiter nach Bremen. Dorbulgruf Shalescar ist der Sprecher (600 Jahre alter Zwerg der schon Senil ist). Wurden von Grynsk Berylbore erst begrüßt der erst sehr skeptisch war doch als wir uns mit den Elf Tali, ein Naturforscher der die Quest nach Brynshander geschickt hat. Er erzählt uns von den Seemonster und gibt uns zwei Boote um auf den Fluss zu fahren.

(noch eine Nacht entspannen, Infos Sammeln, was trinken -> bei Trance Water Vehicles besorgen -> am nächsten Morgen ab auf den See mit dem Boot)

Nach einer Rückkehr nach Bryn Shander mussten wir zuerst eine dringende Angelegenheit klären: Elric war durch den unheimlichen Geist in der Mine um zwanzig Jahre gealtert. Im Haus des Morgenherrn, einem Tempel Lathanders, gelang es schließlich, diesen Fluch zu brechen. Doch der Preis war hoch – und der Schrecken saß tief.

Zurück in der Taverne versuchten wir, die Kristallscherben und die Hinweise auf die Opferungen an Auril zu untersuchen. Skalli trank in der Zwischenzeit... mehr, als sie sollte. Irgendwann wurde sie etwas zu zutraulich gegenüber Elric, legte sich auf seinen Schoß und schlief dort schließlich ein. Beru brachte sie später ins Bett.

In der Nacht wurde Skalli von unruhigen Träumen heimgesucht – von Schnee, endloser Dunkelheit und einem kalten, blauen Auge, das sie durchdrang. Sie wachte mit einem Gefühl tiefen Unbehagens auf.
🩸 Ein verlorener Gefährte in Targos

Am nächsten Morgen reisten wir nach Targos – und fanden dort, was keiner von uns sich je gewünscht hätte: Kylan, unser Gefährte, war tot.

Sein Körper war eingefroren, durchbohrt und aufgespießt von einem Zauber, der stärker war als alles, was wir kannten – Frostknife konnte es nicht gewesen sein. Rund um seinen Leichnam formte sich das Zeichen Aurils im Schnee. Er war von hinten erstochen worden, offenbar schon am Vortag.

Bei ihm fanden wir eine Karte, die eine Route einer Karawane zeigte – sie reiste rund um den Maer Dualdon. Ein weiterer Hinweis in der Mörderquest, die uns schon seit Bryn Shander verfolgt hatte.
🌊 Das Seemonster von Bremen

Mit schwerem Herzen reisten wir weiter nach Bremen, wo uns bereits der schrullige Sprecher Dorbulgruf Shalescar erwartete – ein über sechshundert Jahre alter, leicht seniler Zwerg. Erst begrüßte uns Grynsk Berylbore, ein misstrauischer Fischer, der uns mit Argwohn begegnete. Doch als Tali, ein halbelfischer Naturforscher, uns erkannte, änderte sich die Stimmung.

Tali hatte uns die Quest überhaupt erst vermittelt: Ein Seemonster im Maer Dualdon, das die Fischer in Angst versetzte. Er vermutete, dass der endlose Winter dessen Verhalten verändert hatte.

Wir verbrachten eine Nacht im Ort, sammelten Informationen, besorgten ein Boot bei Trance Water Vehicles, tranken etwas – manche mehr als geplant – und legten am nächsten Morgen ab. Zwei kleine Boote glitten hinaus in den Nebel.
🐍 Nessie erwacht

Während wir auf dem See Knucklehead-Forellen angeln, sammelten wir Hinweise: Vögel, Spuren, Bewegungsmuster. Bald war uns klar: Es handelte sich um einen erweckten Plesiosaurier – ein urtümliches Wesen, das auf magische Weise intelligent geworden war.

Dann erschien sie:
Ein langer, schuppiger Hals durchbrach die Wasseroberfläche, eine reptilienhafte Schnauze, kalte Augen. Doch statt zu beißen, sprach sie:

„Ich höre.“

Wir nannten sie Nessie.

Nessie erzählte uns von ihrer Erwachung – durch eine Druidin namens Ravisin, die sich selbst als Dienerin der Frostmaid bezeichnete. Ravisin hatte ihr befohlen, Angst unter Bremens Fischern zu verbreiten, als Teil von Aurils Willen. Nessie hatte Angst, dass sie ihre Intelligenz verlieren würde, wenn sie sich weigerte.

Wir erklärten ihr, dass diese Gabe dauerhaft war – dass sie niemals wieder ein dummes Tier sein würde. Nessie zögerte. Dann versprach sie uns, keine Fischer mehr anzugreifen.
🧪 Belohnung & Begegnungen

Zurück in Bremen erwartete uns bereits Grynsk, der neugierig nach der Ausbeute fragte. Wir gaben ihm die gefangenen Forellen – und er bezahlte wie versprochen, wenn auch knausrig: 5 Kupfer pro Fisch.

Tali war begeistert über den friedlichen Ausgang und schenkte uns als Dank eine Schriftrolle für Tierfreundschaft sowie einen kleinen Beutel mit 5 Goldmünzen. Er zog sich ins Gasthaus Buried Treasures zurück, um seine Notizen zu studieren.

Dort trafen wir auch auf Marta Peskryk, eine willowy junge Bardin aus dem Eastside Inn in Termalaine. Sie war nach Bremen gereist, um Medizin für ihren kranken Vater Clyde zu besorgen. Abends sang sie ein altes Lied:

Ahead of winter’s wind she came—
The lovely woman with no name...

Sie erzählte von einer mysteriösen Frau im roten Mantel, die vor über fünfzig Jahren im Eastside Inn Zuflucht gesucht hatte – nur um von einem bösen Wind heimgesucht zu werden. Die Frau verschwand spurlos. Marta erbte den Ring, den sie damals als Bezahlung hinterließ – einen Ring der Wärme. Überzeugt, dass wir den Fluch des Winters brechen könnten, schenkte sie uns den Ring als Glücksbringer.
💔 Cora und ihr verlorener Sohn

Am Morgen beim Frühstück konnte die Wirtin Cora Mulphoon ihre Fassade nicht mehr aufrechterhalten. Sie brach vor uns zusammen – nicht wegen der Wirtschaft, sondern wegen ihres Sohnes Huarwar, der vor zwei Monaten verschwand.

Er war mit einer Suchgruppe aufgebrochen, um den Sprecher zu finden, kehrte frostverletzt zurück – verändert. Kalt. Aggressiv. Kurz darauf tauchten zwei Tieflinge auf, trugen Amulette aus schwarzem Eis, genau wie das, was Cora in Huarwars Zimmer gefunden hatte. Er ging mit ihnen – freiwillig – und sagte, er würde nie zurückkehren.

Sie erinnerte sich vage an ein Wort: „Schloss“. Und sie wusste, es gibt nur zwei:
Caer-Dineval und Caer-Konig.

Skallis Gedanken:

Eis, das verändert. Magie, die lügt. Druidinnen, die Tiere zu Werkzeugen machen. Und nun Kinder, die sich in Monster verwandeln... Der Winter frisst sich tiefer in die Herzen der Menschen, als ich es für möglich hielt.

Info:
Als die Gefährten am nächsten Tag aufwachten gab es erst mal Frühstück (Kylan hatte sich ne Krippe eingefangen und musste zurückbleiben, kommt aber nach), Skalli entpuppte sich als Morgenmuffel und als Elric ihren Kopf von seinen Karten wegschiebte (während sie unordentlich vor sich hin Mampfte) verhielt sie sich dezent seltsam. Und musste sich von den anderen entfernen. Die anderen kamen ihr nach und nachdem sie sich kurz trennten und Skalli mit Beru sein Reittier vom Stall abholten (wo er ihr ein stück von den Fleisch seines Tieres zuwarf und sie es instinktif mit den Mundauffing) eine etwas peinliche situation enstand. Danach tragen sie sich wieder auf den Hauptmarkt. Eine Alte ettlerin enpupte sich als Beldora, verkaufte an Elric Thieftools und gab sich ihm als Harfnerin. Die ihn als Freun sah und sagte das er auf sich aufpassen sollte, danach verschwand sie wieder in ihrer Verkleidung.

Vellynn Search:
“Adventurers, I presume? Pleased to meet you. My name’s Vellynn, Wizard of the Arcane Brotherhood in Luskan. I have a minor task – not a task, really, just a request. A colleague of mine, a younger woman named Nass Lantomir, was supposed to meet me here in Ten-Towns, but I have had a hard time finding her. I’d be very grateful if you could keep an eye out for her. She has dark hair, glasses, and may be carrying an orb of quartz – about this big – with her. If you hear or see anything, let me know – I’ll give you 25 gp for any clue that leads me to her.” Ihr Bodygard is: "Literally 3 Kobolds in a Trenchcoat" als Skalli das feststellt fängt sie lauthals zu lachen an.

Dannika´s Chwinga Research:
Dannika Graysteel, gibt der Gruppe Laternen um Twinga kleine Naturgeister die in Icewind Dale leben aufzuspühren. (Will diese wohl Erforschen)

Auf der Reise von Bryn Shander nach Targos war es recht ereignislos doch alls sie die Stadt betraten ergab sich ohnen ein Schrecklicher anblick. Ein Mann war in der mitte des großen Platzes völlig nackt an einen Pfal gebunden und mit Eiswasser überschüttet. Uns wurde erklärt das dieser in er loterie gewonnen hatte. Skalli wusste das dies ein Auril Opfer war doch die anderen fragten die leute die darum standen und flüsstern. Diese erklärten das der Naerth Maxildanarr der Sprächer von Targos hat vorgeschlagen Opfer an Auril zu bringen nachdem. Vurnis Frostdruidin (Die Skallis Clan vesucht hat davon zu überzeugen Opfer an die Frostmaid zu bringen, doch die Clanführerin hat es abgelehnt) die mit einen Weiteren Druiden in die Stadt kam.
Ravisin Bruder von Vurnis, sind nach dem sie Targos besucht haben nach Lonlywood. Nachdem sie sich kurz noch mit den Bewohnern unterhalten hatten und Skalli weiter die szene anstarrte (und ihre Hand Blutig wurde von zusammen drücken) reisten sie weiter nach Termalaine. Auf den Weg dahin wurden sie von 2 Cragcats angegriffen die sie nach kurzen schreck ausschalteten. Skalli konnte mit hilfe von Aerlyn. Einen schönen Pelz abziehen und einiges an Fleisch rausschneiden. Durch diese zeitaufwändige verarbeitung konnten sie jedoch nicht gleich in der Stadt ankommen und schlugen ein lager auf. In Skallis wache bemerkte sie einen Owlbären der sich anschlich doch sie konnte noch rechtzeitig alarmschlagen. Als Beru aus den Zelt kam und das Tier anbrüllte wich dieser zurück und nach einen weiteren Knurren von Skalli machte dieser sich aus den Staub. Sie konnten so weiter Rasten und am nächsten Tag kamen sie in Termalaine an.

Nachdem wir Bryn Shander hinter uns gelassen hatten, führte uns der Weg durch das gefrorene Herz der Zehn-Städte. Auf dem Weg nach Termalaine machten wir zunächst Halt in Targos – doch statt willkommen geheißen zu werden, wurden wir Zeugen eines Anblicks, der selbst uns abgehärtete Reisende verstummen ließ.

Mitten auf dem großen Platz stand ein Mann, nackt und bis auf die Knochen durchgefroren, an einen Pfahl gebunden. Man hatte ihn mit Eiswasser übergossen – ein Todesurteil in dieser Kälte. Die Stimme in meinem Inneren sagte sofort: Ein Opfer an Auril. Die anderen fragten nach. Die Antwort kam leise und schuldbewusst: Naerth Maxildanarr, Sprecher von Targos, hatte vorgeschlagen, Menschen an die Frostmaid zu opfern – beeinflusst durch eine Druidenfrau namens Vurnis.

Vurnis... eine, die auch meinen Clan zu bekehren versuchte. Doch unsere Führerin hatte sich ihr widersetzt. Ich war stolz. Und wütend. Meine Hand blutete, als ich sie zu fest zur Faust ballte.

Wir erfuhren, dass Vurnis' Bruder, Ravisin, inzwischen nach Lonelywood weitergezogen war – mit weiteren dunklen Absichten. Doch für jetzt galt unsere Aufmerksamkeit Termalaine.
Unterwegs – Zwischen Schnee und Schatten

Der Weg dorthin war zuerst ruhig – bis uns zwei Cragcats aus dem Hinterhalt angriffen. Mit Aerlyns Hilfe konnte ich eine der Raubkatzen sauber abhäuten und das Fleisch verarbeiten – genug für ein gutes Mahl. Doch die Zeit, die wir dafür brauchten, kostete uns das Tageslicht. Statt in der Stadt einzutreffen, schlugen wir ein Lager im offenen Gelände auf.

In meiner Nachtwache roch ich ihn zuerst – schwer, tierisch, gefährlich. Ein Owlbär pirschte sich heran. Ich schlug Alarm. Beru sprang aus dem Zelt und brüllte das Biest an, mit einer Autorität, die selbst mich beeindruckte. Ich stimmte mit einem tiefen Knurren ein. Der Owlbär zog sich zurück – keine Verletzten, kein Kampf. Nur Respekt.

Am nächsten Morgen erreichten wir Termalaine.
Begegnung mit der Arkanen Bruderschaft

Noch vor der Stadt trafen wir auf zwei Fremde. Die eine stellte sich als Vellynne Harpell vor, eine Zauberin der Arkanen Bruderschaft aus Luskan. Alt, grimmig, aber bestimmt. Sie bat uns nicht direkt um Hilfe – vielmehr äußerte sie eine Bitte:

„Eine Kollegin von mir, Nass Lantomir, ist hier irgendwo in den Zehn-Städten unterwegs. Dunkles Haar, Brille, eine etwa so große Quarzkugel. Wenn ihr sie seht – gebt mir Bescheid. 25 Gold für jeden Hinweis.“

Als sie sich umdrehte, sah ich ihre „Leibwache“ – drei Kobolde, in einem übergroßen Mantel übereinandergestapelt. Ich lachte so laut, dass selbst Aerlyn zusammenzuckte.

Begleitet wurde Vellynne von Dannika Graustahl, einer eifrigen Forscherin, die versuchte, das Klima Icewind Dales zu studieren – und zu verändern. Sie übergab uns magische Fährtenleser-Laternen, um sogenannte Chwinga zu finden – kleine Naturgeister, die hier irgendwo durch den Schnee huschten. Sie meinte, sie könnten uns helfen. Ich war skeptisch. Aber ich nahm die Laterne trotzdem.
Skallis Morgen und Beldoras Warnung

Am nächsten Morgen war ich nicht in Bestform. Kylan hatte sich eine Krippe eingefangen und blieb zurück – er wollte später nachkommen. Ich hingegen... nun ja, ich bin kein Morgenmensch. Als Elric versuchte, mir die Karten vom Frühstückstisch zu wischen, um besser zu lesen, reagierte ich... merkwürdig. Ich musste raus.

Beru folgte mir. Wir gingen gemeinsam zu den Ställen, um ihre Reittiere zu holen. Als Beru mir ein Stück Fleisch von seinem Tier zuwarf, fing ich es instinktiv – mit dem Mund. Ja... das war unangenehm. Ich glaube, ich habe geglüht.

Zurück auf dem Markt trafen wir eine ältere Bettlerin, die sich an Elric heranmachte. Er kaufte ihr Diebeswerkzeug ab – nur um festzustellen, dass sie Beldora war, eine Späherin der Harfner. Sie warnte ihn: „Pass auf dich auf.“ Dann verschwand sie wieder in der Menge, als wäre sie nie da gewesen.

Ausblick:
Termalaine lag nun vor uns – eine Stadt, die ebenfalls in Gefahr schien. Der Schatten von Auril, von Ravisin und von einem gewissen Sephek Kaltro reichte weiter, als wir ahnten. Doch wir waren nicht allein.

Skalli spürte: Die Kälte ist nicht das Schlimmste hier draußen.
Es ist das, was sich hinter ihr verbirgt.

Loot:

Lantern of Tracking (Elementals)
Wondrous item, common

This hooded lantern burns for 6 hours on 1 pint of oil, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet.

Each lantern of tracking is designed to track down a certain type of creature, which is determined by rolling on the Lantern of Tracking table. Once determined, this creature type can’t be changed. While the lantern is within 300 feet of any creature of that type, its flame turns bright green. The lantern doesn’t pinpoint the creature’s exact location, however.
