Recap of Part 5, Act 2.
After a full day of hiking through the snow, the party decides to make camp in a slightly wooded area. Nadya sends her two boys out for firewood, but only Mjoli comes back, she gets concerned and asks the party to help her find Orm. The party sets out to find him and when they do, he is face down in the snow covered in blood, surrounded by Boreal Wolves. The party quickly moves in and engages the wolves, while Nadya does her best to get healing to her boy. Juno was the first to get close, and took a hit, Walker and Gutrender soon followed while Arcelia fired arrows from a distance. Nadya made it in time to save Orm, while the party took care of the wolves, it looks like meat is on the menu boys and girls.
The next day the party runs into a pocket of warmer weather on the way to Whitethrone. There is grass and blossoming trees like spring weather for a distance with temps above 40 degrees. After a bit they spot some Worgs looking to attack a giant elk grazing on the plain, the party steps in to defend the elk, and takes on the Worgs. The party rushed in quickly, giving themselves up as bait instead of the elk, the Worgs took the bait, and it led to their demise, The Elk is saved. The party decides to rest at the edge of the warm pocket, Walker thinks this may be the work of druid magic.
Day 6 of travel they run into an old village that’s in ruins, Nadya recalls an old village in this area named Ulsgaard that was destroyed in the Winter War. As the party walks through they come across a temple, Gutrender hears a faint screaming of children, the others don’t at first but after pointed out some start to hear it also. The front doors are gone but a smooth stone circle engraved with the outline of a butterfly is mounted above the doorway, Walker recalls it’s the symbol of Desna. There are two humanoids cleaning up in the front courtyard, The party moves in to investigate and gets caught in a haunt, affecting Juno and Arcelia. The two humanoids show their true forms called Huecuva, a nasty undead with a poisonous claw attack. Gutrender and Walker took a few hits but were able to shrug off the poison. The PC’s took care of the undead and decided to stay the night in the temple. While searching the temple they came across some hidden treasure in an old toppled alter.
Day 7 the party makes it to Ellsprin, the small village Nadya wants to drop off her children, when the party enters the outskirts, they come to a cabin with a barn in the back surrounded by a picket fence belonging to the Truskins, friends of Nadya. In the gateway a man lies face down in the snow, the cabin looks locked up, as smoke comes out the chimney. Juno detects for magic, and one of the bushes in front has magic in it, but she can’t see anyone in there. She casts color spray at the area and does manage to hit an unknown opponent. Walker steps into the fenced area, and gets attacked from something in the bush to his right, a tiny creature made of twigs (twigjack) with a spear. The other creature stunned by color spray did not get an attack, and the party moved in, Juno jumped over the fence and flanked from the rear, as Walker, and Gutrender pushed their way in the front gate with cover fire from Arcelia against one of her favorite enemies, the Fey. Walker went with his cold iron weapon to avoid the DR, while Juno made use of her new fire element on her shocking grasp. The party would learn the other creature is a male Quickling, but they would kill him first before he could do much. The Twigjack, badly hurt, took off to the barn, as the party went to chase, Maret Truskin came out to tell them her son Garen was in the barn with one of those creatures. The party continued, and found a tied-up Faun and the Twigjack, but could only hear the hidden Quickling. Told to drop their weapons, or the boy dies, they end up in a draw. one round goes by and then the Quickling cuts the faun after hearing something in Sylvan from the twigjack, whatever it was it pissed her off, Walker suspects the male Quickling they already killed, was related. The Twigjack was already badly hurt and did not last long. The Quickling fought for a bit with intense anger, but Juno after missing last round would then crit with her weapon and the fire shocking grasp for massive damage blowing him apart. The party will spend the night at Maret’s, some may have to sleep in the barn, Nadya will have Maret watch her children while the party makes their way to Fishcamps on the outskirts of Whitethrone to find Ringeirr Malenkov, Nadyas uncle. (the party will get a rest and start on their way at 9am day 8)
