Story:

Rime of the Frostmaiden
We bow to She who wears the crown;
Let the world shiver with dread.
Clad in winter’s whitest gown,
Her snow enshrouds the dead.


Her fury sheds but frozen tears
as gray clouds issue forth.
Her wind across the wasteland shears,
bringing blizzards from the north.


Ice-kissed flowers caught mid-bloom,
beauty kept in all its grace.
Summer’s gone to its silent tomb,
stilling in Her cold embrace.


All the world in winter’s white,
sheathed in sleet and ice.
Set upon never-ending night,
She conjures paradise.


Behold Her everlasting rime,
see how it covers all;
Weep not for those She traps in time
behind Her glacial wall.


Sovereign of summers lost,
general of winter’s war;
Long live the queen of cold and frost.
May She reign forevermore.

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

Loot:

Laser Rifle + 6x Energy core
Damage: 3d8
Damage Type: radiant
Properties: Ammunition, Reload (30 shots), Two-Handed)
Range: 100/300
Weight: 7
Ammunition. The ammunition of a firearm is destroyed upon use. Futuristic firearms are powered by a special type of ammunition called energy cells. An energy cell contains enough power for all the shots its firearm can make.
You can use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a ranged attack only if you have ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of ammunition. Drawing the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon).
Reload. A limited number of shots can be made with a weapon that has the reload property. A character must then reload it using an action or a bonus action (the character's choice).
Two-Handed. This weapon requires two hands when you attack with it.
...
Silver Raven Figurine of Wondrous Power
Wondrous item, uncommon
A figurine of wondrous power is a statuette of a beast small enough to fit in a pocket. If you use an action to speak the command word and throw the figurine to a point on the ground within 60 feet of you, the figurine becomes a living creature. If the space where the creature would appear is occupied by other creatures or objects, or if there isn’t enough space for the creature, the figurine doesn’t become a creature.
The creature is friendly to you and your companions. It understands your languages and obeys your spoken commands. If you issue no commands, the creature defends itself but takes no other actions.
The creature exists for a duration specific to each figurine. At the end of the duration, the creature reverts to its figurine form. It reverts to a figurine early if it drops to 0 hit points or if you use an action to speak the command word again while touching it. When the creature becomes a figurine again, its property can’t be used again until a certain amount of time has passed, as specified in the figurine’s description.
Silver Raven (Uncommon). This silver statuette of a raven can become a raven for up to 12 hours. Once it has been used, it can’t be used again until 2 days have passed. While in raven form, the figurine allows you to cast the animal messenger spell on it at will.
...
Helm of Telepathy
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)
While wearing this helm, you can use an action to cast the detect thoughts spell (save DC 13) from it. As long as you maintain concentration on the spell, you can use a bonus action to send a telepathic message to a creature you are focused on. It can reply—using a bonus action to do so—while your focus on it continues.
While focusing on a creature with detect thoughts, you can use an action to cast the suggestion spell (save DC 13) from the helm on that creature. Once used, the suggestion property can’t be used again until the next dawn.
Eyes of Minute Seeing
Wondrous item, uncommon
These crystal lenses fit over the eyes. While wearing them, you can see much better than normal out to a range of 1 foot. You have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks that rely on sight while searching an area or studying an object within that range.

This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges to cast the web spell (save DC 15) from it.

Piwafwi
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)

-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.

The cauldron can create stew three times. It then ceases to function until the next dawn, when it regains all its uses.

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:

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:

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."

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.

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...".

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

Story:

Rime of the Frostmaiden
We bow to She who wears the crown;
Let the world shiver with dread.
Clad in winter’s whitest gown,
Her snow enshrouds the dead.


Her fury sheds but frozen tears
as gray clouds issue forth.
Her wind across the wasteland shears,
bringing blizzards from the north.


Ice-kissed flowers caught mid-bloom,
beauty kept in all its grace.
Summer’s gone to its silent tomb,
stilling in Her cold embrace.


All the world in winter’s white,
sheathed in sleet and ice.
Set upon never-ending night,
She conjures paradise.


Behold Her everlasting rime,
see how it covers all;
Weep not for those She traps in time
behind Her glacial wall.


Sovereign of summers lost,
general of winter’s war;
Long live the queen of cold and frost.
May She reign forevermore.

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

Loot:

Laser Rifle + 6x Energy core
Damage: 3d8
Damage Type: radiant
Properties: Ammunition, Reload (30 shots), Two-Handed)
Range: 100/300
Weight: 7
Ammunition. The ammunition of a firearm is destroyed upon use. Futuristic firearms are powered by a special type of ammunition called energy cells. An energy cell contains enough power for all the shots its firearm can make.
You can use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a ranged attack only if you have ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of ammunition. Drawing the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon).
Reload. A limited number of shots can be made with a weapon that has the reload property. A character must then reload it using an action or a bonus action (the character's choice).
Two-Handed. This weapon requires two hands when you attack with it.
...
Silver Raven Figurine of Wondrous Power
Wondrous item, uncommon
A figurine of wondrous power is a statuette of a beast small enough to fit in a pocket. If you use an action to speak the command word and throw the figurine to a point on the ground within 60 feet of you, the figurine becomes a living creature. If the space where the creature would appear is occupied by other creatures or objects, or if there isn’t enough space for the creature, the figurine doesn’t become a creature.
The creature is friendly to you and your companions. It understands your languages and obeys your spoken commands. If you issue no commands, the creature defends itself but takes no other actions.
The creature exists for a duration specific to each figurine. At the end of the duration, the creature reverts to its figurine form. It reverts to a figurine early if it drops to 0 hit points or if you use an action to speak the command word again while touching it. When the creature becomes a figurine again, its property can’t be used again until a certain amount of time has passed, as specified in the figurine’s description.
Silver Raven (Uncommon). This silver statuette of a raven can become a raven for up to 12 hours. Once it has been used, it can’t be used again until 2 days have passed. While in raven form, the figurine allows you to cast the animal messenger spell on it at will.
...
Helm of Telepathy
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)
While wearing this helm, you can use an action to cast the detect thoughts spell (save DC 13) from it. As long as you maintain concentration on the spell, you can use a bonus action to send a telepathic message to a creature you are focused on. It can reply—using a bonus action to do so—while your focus on it continues.
While focusing on a creature with detect thoughts, you can use an action to cast the suggestion spell (save DC 13) from the helm on that creature. Once used, the suggestion property can’t be used again until the next dawn.
Eyes of Minute Seeing
Wondrous item, uncommon
These crystal lenses fit over the eyes. While wearing them, you can see much better than normal out to a range of 1 foot. You have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks that rely on sight while searching an area or studying an object within that range.

Piwafwi
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)
A dark spider-silk cloak made by drow. This item has the properties of a cloak of elvenkind but loses its magic if it’s exposed to sunlight for 1 hour without interruption.

-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.

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.

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:

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:

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."

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."

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.

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...".

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

Story:

Rime of the Frostmaiden
We bow to She who wears the crown;
Let the world shiver with dread.
Clad in winter’s whitest gown,
Her snow enshrouds the dead.


Her fury sheds but frozen tears
as gray clouds issue forth.
Her wind across the wasteland shears,
bringing blizzards from the north.


Ice-kissed flowers caught mid-bloom,
beauty kept in all its grace.
Summer’s gone to its silent tomb,
stilling in Her cold embrace.


All the world in winter’s white,
sheathed in sleet and ice.
Set upon never-ending night,
She conjures paradise.


Behold Her everlasting rime,
see how it covers all;
Weep not for those She traps in time
behind Her glacial wall.


Sovereign of summers lost,
general of winter’s war;
Long live the queen of cold and frost.
May She reign forevermore.

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

Loot:

Laser Rifle + 6x Energy core
Damage: 3d8
Damage Type: radiant
Properties: Ammunition, Reload (30 shots), Two-Handed)
Range: 100/300
Weight: 7
Ammunition. The ammunition of a firearm is destroyed upon use. Futuristic firearms are powered by a special type of ammunition called energy cells. An energy cell contains enough power for all the shots its firearm can make.
You can use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a ranged attack only if you have ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of ammunition. Drawing the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon).
Reload. A limited number of shots can be made with a weapon that has the reload property. A character must then reload it using an action or a bonus action (the character's choice).
Two-Handed. This weapon requires two hands when you attack with it.
...
Silver Raven Figurine of Wondrous Power
Wondrous item, uncommon
A figurine of wondrous power is a statuette of a beast small enough to fit in a pocket. If you use an action to speak the command word and throw the figurine to a point on the ground within 60 feet of you, the figurine becomes a living creature. If the space where the creature would appear is occupied by other creatures or objects, or if there isn’t enough space for the creature, the figurine doesn’t become a creature.
The creature is friendly to you and your companions. It understands your languages and obeys your spoken commands. If you issue no commands, the creature defends itself but takes no other actions.
The creature exists for a duration specific to each figurine. At the end of the duration, the creature reverts to its figurine form. It reverts to a figurine early if it drops to 0 hit points or if you use an action to speak the command word again while touching it. When the creature becomes a figurine again, its property can’t be used again until a certain amount of time has passed, as specified in the figurine’s description.
Silver Raven (Uncommon). This silver statuette of a raven can become a raven for up to 12 hours. Once it has been used, it can’t be used again until 2 days have passed. While in raven form, the figurine allows you to cast the animal messenger spell on it at will.
...
Helm of Telepathy
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)
While wearing this helm, you can use an action to cast the detect thoughts spell (save DC 13) from it. As long as you maintain concentration on the spell, you can use a bonus action to send a telepathic message to a creature you are focused on. It can reply—using a bonus action to do so—while your focus on it continues.
While focusing on a creature with detect thoughts, you can use an action to cast the suggestion spell (save DC 13) from the helm on that creature. Once used, the suggestion property can’t be used again until the next dawn.
Eyes of Minute Seeing
Wondrous item, uncommon
These crystal lenses fit over the eyes. While wearing them, you can see much better than normal out to a range of 1 foot. You have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks that rely on sight while searching an area or studying an object within that range.

Wondrous Item, uncommon (requires attunement)

Notes: Deception, Headwear
Wand of Web
Wand, uncommon (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges to cast the web spell (save DC 15) from it.
The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wand’s last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand crumbles into ashes and is destroyed.
Piwafwi
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)
A dark spider-silk cloak made by drow. This item has the properties of a cloak of elvenkind but loses its magic if it’s exposed to sunlight for 1 hour without interruption.
While you wear this cloak with its hood up, Wisdom (Perception) checks made to see you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide, as the cloak’s color shifts to camouflage you. Pulling the hood up or down requires an action.

-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.

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.

The cauldron can create stew three times. It then ceases to function until the next dawn, when it regains all its uses.

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:

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.

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


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


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


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


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

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.

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...".

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 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.”
