Recap of Part 2, Act 3.
After the battle with the Frost Firs the party heals and continues following the trail, they trudge their way through the snow and after 30 minutes they are at the area Dryden Kemp placed his two bear traps. They decide to search for them, and Legifer uses a piece of tree to set them off and then recover them.
The party continues their way, and after walking for another 45 minutes they come to a clearing with large blocks of ice scattered about 30’ apart in an open field. Behind the field of ice blocks was a lookout post, fashioned from trees, and built on a hill. A few members of the party notice a figment of a young girl inside one of the Ice blocks, they all hear a voice of a young girl from that area say “I’m sorry! Don’t hurt me! I never meant to call you names!”. The party moves in closer to investigate, Zaur asks the entity how she got there, and she replied, “I was taken by a white witch I insulted”. The entity then moved to a different ice block and said “Please don’t keep me here. It’s so cold. I miss my mother.” The party asks where she is from, and the reply is “I am from Waldsby”. The entity then moves to another block and says, “I don’t want your stupid doll! I want to go home! Take me back home!”. The party moves in further, and the vision jumps to another ice block and says, “I have to get away! And you should, too, before they see you. Run!”. The party moves in more and Gutrender, and Juno attack the ice blocks but do minimal damage. Legifer detects evil in the area south-west of the ice block area. Ozzy summons a creature to investigate the evil area, setting off a haunt trap, the effect was a scare effect, and some of the PC’s were frightened and ran off in fear, while others were just a bit shaken, in their minds they saw visions of the young girl being abused by elders. The party eventually learns the visions name is Thora Petska, and her mother Nadya Petska is in Waldsby.
Most of the party went to the outlook post, while Legifer kept on destroying the ice blocks. Ozzy, able to fly on his Eidolon saw a chair with a doll sitting on it in the outlook post, Ozzy got off his eidolon and went inside the outpost, setting off a glyph of warding trap. At that time the doll rose 20’ into the air. Ozzy did notice the doll had two different eyes, one a coin sized mirror, the other a blue gemstone. The doll started hitting the party with Ray of Frost, it also used a frost fall spell to harm the PC’s. The party hit back and started to use magic weapons, and Juno threw some alchemist fire to get past the dolls damage reduction. After a few rounds the party destroys the doll. The party detects magic on the eyes, the Attentive Mirror eye has divination, and is used with scrying, and the blue gemstone has necromancy magic, and the party believes the blue gemstone may be acting like a magic jar (soul focus). The party takes both eyes with them.
After traveling for another hour, the party was attacked by the White Weasel, it was hiding in the snow waiting for dinner to come by. Taken by surprise it hits Gutrender, but its not able to grab him. The party can tell the animal is hungry with some insightful checks, so they give it trail rations they have on them and pass peacefully along the trail while the weasel dines.
After traveling for another hour, the party is ambushed by the guardians of the portal. They were waiting along the trail hidden in the trees, and snow, and attack when the party gets in range. The enemy consists of 2 frost skeletons, 1 ice mephit, 1 small ice elemental, 1, small air elemental. The ice mephit hit the party with a cone breath weapon doing cold damage, from above, the others went in for melee attacks. The PC’s took some hits, and Zaur went down for a while, but they overcame a tough battle. The time is 7:15 pm, time for the party to set up camp and rest for the night.
