## OH SNOW THEY DIDN’T

* **A FROSTY WELCOME**
	+ Our heroes prepare to take on RAVING RUIN in SNOWMAN form as SKITTER maintains a BONFIRE casting to keep site of each other and him
	+ It’s frosty breath is devastating, causing SKITTER to go down
	+ Almost immediately after, RODRICK disappears in a burst of blood without a WILDMAGIC surge
	+ The group makes it through the combat and CLAYMONT lands the fatal final blow
	+ BEHLEN moves quickly to acquire the caged FAIRY in the snow and mist
	+ SKITTER is resuscitated with a healing potion from GORIN, but something is “amist” (SORRY)
	+ He senses that he has lost the connection to LIMON, RODRICK, and THREDUIN, as if the FIND FAMILIAR spell ended with his knock down
	+ SKITTER regains his focus, and recasts BONFIRE to help them see again

* **NEW SEASON OF FRIENDS**
	+ BEHLEN reveals the FROST FAIRY imprisoned in a cage of WINTER WOOD with an IRON LACED interior
	+ SKITTER frees her by using a DIMENSION DOOR
	+ She reveals her name to be ICILIY and describes:
		- The SNOWMAN as a WARDEN OF THE MIST OF THE FEYWILDE
		- She says the SNOWMAN was summoned by "The Bell Ringer"
		- ICILIY says she is not of this plane of existence, and has come though a VEIL to get here
		- The BELL RINGER has weakened the VEIL OF THE WINTER, allowing those of THE COURT through
		- She is of the UNSEELIE COURT and serves MAB, the Queen of Air & Darkness, and the First Queen of Winter
		- At the mention of AURIAL, the FROST MAIDEN, ICILITY seems unfamiliar with that name
	+ The group is still interested in following the BLOOD TRAIL they were following before
	+ But first, the team takes a SHORT REST
		- GORIN 2x HD
		- CLAYMONT 2x HD
		- SKITTER 4x HD
	+ Then SKITTER uses his ROBE OF USEFUL ITEMS to summon a MASTIFF DOG to follow the trail
	+ They let ICILIY know that she is free to go, but she insists on staying close until she can return the favor for freeing her
	+ She has the ability, like LIMON, to go INVISIBLE at will, and does so stating “I’ll convince my cousins you’re my cousins”

* **A RIVAL IN NEED…**
	+ As they follow the trail, BEHLEN and SKITTER hear something in the distance
	+ Neither can place it, but SKITTER feels he has heard it before and it's very unsettling
	+ The trail of blood begins to thin out as they come upon a collection of trees in the mist
	+ Beneath their bows, they recognize KROZNAD (the gnome sorcerer) and IVO (The ironclad knight), members of the RELENTLESS
	+ It soon becomes apparent that at the edge of the BONFIRE light, their DIREWOLF companion is threateningly watching from the south
	+ CLAYMONT, noticing that KROZNAD is the source of the blood and unconscious, offers to heal him
	+ It is apparent that IVO is attuned to the DIREWOLF who eases the beasts defense and allows CLAYMONT to heal KROZNAD unthreatened
	+ BEHLEN can tell that the RELENTLESS members understand them, but are choosing to play charades instead of using words
	+ CLAYMONT does overhear IVO’s strangely twisted voice as he asks KROZNAD about trusting the PCS
* **AN ICE TROLL THROUGH MEMORY LANE**
	+ SKITTER, laying back to the northeastern edge of the BONFIRE’S light, stares off into the fog, still concerned about what is out there
	+ Just when it is almost too late, SKITTER recognizes the growl of an ICE TROLL
	+ It lunges out of the fog, claiming ROCKY as its first victim
	+ Both the NEW REDBRANDS and the RELENTLESS members work together quickly to take down the TROLL (SKITTER finishing it with another BONFIRE)
	+ Unfortunately,  a second bursts from the mists, taking down SKITTER and dispelling his BONFIRE
	+ They take it down shortly after, and watch as it and the other dissolve into the snow, something they have not seen before
* **GROUPS REGROUP**
	+ IVO discloses that the ICE TROLLS are not what attacked them in the fog
	+ He claims there are unseen “demons” in the cold mist
	+ The group learns that the DIREWOLF is known by SILVER the FURRY
	+ After condolences from GORIN and questions by BEHLEN, CLAYMONT summons ROCKY III

## Gorin's Log

The group starts off about to confront Raving Ruin in the form the snowman creature. There is a heavy fog, but Skitter has a bonfire so everyone can see within a certain rage. They decide to hit him with ranged weapons at first, with Claymont missing both of his laser rifle shots badly. Gorin and Behlen make their attacks. Skitter is hit badly and goes down, taking Rodrick with him (as he is an extension of him) in a splatter of blood. Claymont runs in and is able to finish him off with a two handed slash of his sword. The snowman drops the caged faery creature in the snow. Behlen goes off to look for it. Gorin runs off to give a healing potion to Skitter to resuscitate him. Right away Skitter casts another bonfire so everyone can see again. Behlen is able to find the caged faery, who we see is a frost faery. The frost faery says her name is Iciliy and the snowman was a Warden of the Mist of the Feywilde She says he was summoned by "The Bell Ringer". Behlen brings the cage over for Skitter to take a look at. The cage is made of winter wood on the outside and iron on the inside. Skitter is able to get her out with a teleportation spell. She says she is not of this plane of existence, and has come though a veil to get here. She also says she is of the Seelie Court. She serves Mab, the Queen of Air & Darkness, and the First Queen of Winter. We mention the Auril/The Frost Maiden to her and she has no idea who she is. Gorin asks her if she has any powers, but she says no, but she is small and can get into small spaces, spy, etc.., He states she's better than Limon jokingly. At the mention of Limon, Skitte realizes he can no longer feel the connection to Limon/Rodrick/Threduin. Skitter uses his cloak of useful items to get a mastiff dog to follow the blood trail. They decide to take a short rest beforehand. Behlen hears something in the distance, and Skitter does as well. They don't recognize the sound exactly, but they've heard it before and it's very unsettling. Skitter tells Iciliy that she's free to go, but she'll stay until she's returned the favor of freeing her. She goes invisible and the group continues to follow the blood trail. The blood trail lessens and they see a few familiar figures under some trees, they are Kroznad and Ivo the IronClad Knight of the Relentless. Slowly their large direwolf comes into view and makes its way back to them. They see that Kroznad is unconscious. Claymont offers to help heal Kroznad, but Ivo backs off a bit and the direwolf is acting aggressively. Ivo allows Claymont to cast a healing spell. The direwolf eases off. He seems to have an intelligence akin to Rocky. Skitter is laying back, looking out back into the fog, still concerned about what is out there. Skitter can recall now that it's the sound of an Ice Troll. In the back and forth, Behlen grasps that both Ivo and Kroznad can understand them, but they're choosing not to respond. Claymont is able to overhear Ivo asking Kroznad if they plan on helping or not. Out of the fog comes an Ice Troll. He attacks and takes out Rocky right away. After a barrage of attacks from the group and the 2 Relentless members, the Ice Troll goes down when Skitter casts a bonfire on it. Directly after, yet another 2nd Ice Troll enters the fray. Gorin gets overwhelmed quickly and is dealt incredible amounts of damage but is able to weather the storm. They melt into the snow, which is different from Ice Trolls they've fought before. Ivo says this isn't what they've fought before, that there are demons in the fog. We learn that the name of the direwolf is Silver the Furry. Gorin goes over to tell Claymont he's sorry about the loss of Rocky II. Behlen inquires about this, as he's never seen him die before. As his answer, Claymont then brings Rocky III into existence.
