==Recap==
The party are in Shenanigans. Mike Michaelson tries to convince the party to join a rebellion against the Baroness. Desmond interrupts the treasonous talk and asks the party to return a heavy overdue library book to Renkore. It is 8 years overdue. It is a book of children fairy tales for Layla when she was younger. Desmond gives Gerald the bag of gold for the overdue fees and The Wrok the book and the apology letter.
The party set out west from Bergshire towards Renkore.
As the party cross the plains a storm begins. Gerald finds a cave for the party to take refuge inside. Inside the cave is unnaturally cold. The party rest in the cave.
The next day the storm goes away and the party explore the cave. They find a armored frozen halfling woman inside who is touching a fuzzy magical rock. Mike pretends to be sick so they rest overnight so he can spend some time looking at the fuzzy magical rock. Gerald remembers a moss that can absorb heat and that is what is on the rock. Gerald recommends they leave without touching the rock. The Wrok and Gerald camp away from the stone for their own safety.
That night Mike sneaks away from the party and goes back to the frozen rock. Mike throws a lasso over the halfing and drags then away from the rock. The Wrok wakes up from the noise. Mike asks for the party's help to thaw the frozen halfling. After the halfing thaws she thanks the party for saving her and says her name is Carrie. Carrie says she heard a noise and went into the cave and got frozen. The party work out she was frozen a few months ago.
Mike grabs his blankets and picks up the stone with it and puts it in his bag. The party and Carrie leave the cave. Carrie talk with Mike enthusiastically about overthrowing or take out people in power. Gerald is very suspicious of Carrie. She then tries to pay the party 3 gold each for saving her, but Gerald refuses his share.
During the night when the party is camping Carrie sneaks away with the frozen rock. The party find her tracks and follow them westward. After dawn the party arrive at a small hamlet with 6 people dead and the buildings on fire. The party find survivors in the basement. The survivor describes Carrie causing all the death and destruction with her swords and not any ice powers. The party continue on their search for Carrie westward.
A couple miles away is another village on fire. The party fine a mound of bodies with Carrie throwing another body on the pile. Gerald doesn't hesitate to cast light on Carrie's eyes, but she resists. Carrie explains she is killing villagers so she can rule though fear and demands Mike be her minion. Mike refuses to be anyone's minion and casts , stunning her. The Wrok attacks her directly with his rock. Carries tries to freeze The Wrok, but it doesn't touch his skin. Mike then casts Farie Fire. The frozen stone then hits The Wrok in the face, freezing him solid. Gerald and Mike retreat to a grassy spot. Carrie then holds The Wrok hostage. Gerald then surrenders to save The Wrok.
Carrie climbs on top of the pile of bodies and laughs as Mike sneaks close to her and then casts darkness on her. Max throws a rock to make a noise to draw her into the grassy area, but she stops short of entering it. Inside the darkness is the sound of digging. The Wrok unfreezes and starts throwing rocks into the darkness at Carrie. Gerald unfreezes. The Wrok goes into the darkness to tackle her but misses her and gets stabbed in the gut.
