It is cold here.
Such a simple statement that says so much, yet Ice promises so much more. Blizzard winds blow, engulfing everything here as you stand.
Dana merely takes it in, blade and armor at the ready as she grins, "About fucking time. Bring it on."
Miranda checks her bow and arrows and then readies them, along with her greatsword. "It's cold as a devil's heart."
"Colder! Like a yugoloth's heart," Benyen says, looking around, "Like winter without any celebrations, ever."
Debonah merely hovers a foot above the ground, undisturbed by the snow.
I'm just now making spoiler blocks, so paste any spells you cast on them in prep, would you?
Debonah's block in the next post or two.

Calleigh thumps chest first into the snow, leaving a Calleigh-shaped impression before bursting out nearby, flinging snow everywhere and laughing. "Of course it's cold! It's Ice! This is where cold comes from!"
What's the CL on Attune Form?
"Winter's heart," Debonah agrees, "Where on Ice are we?"
All around you is blizzard, visibility poor, but nothing is immediately around but frozen wasteland.
CL's not listed on Calleigh's sheet, so we must regrettably assume it's CL 1. 2 hours of charge per charge. Does Debonah need that or can I save the charge on her?
What does it come from, a wand?
Yep.
Mimimum CL of 5 since it's a 3rd level spell, so 5th level. Anyway, go ahead and line since it's your line.
Oh neat. It'll last 10 hours then.
'We are near Auril's stronghold. The Aurora has had dealings with her in the past, and I thought it would be a good idea to start on non-hostile ground.' Tryll replies.
Debonah turns her gaze to you, "You think the Bitter Bitch of Winter is non hostile ground?" Her voice isn't quite disbelieving, but it's hardly welcoming, either.
"Yeah, but she's at least willing to talk to us," Dana says, shrugging. "Bitch helped us get Abigor, too."
"Yeah, and it goes wrong, she can be a good warm up for Shar?" Benyen offers, "Right?"
'Interplanar warfare and desperate times make for very strange bedfellows, Debonah.' Tryll says calmly. 'Facts being as they are, we're unlikely to be immediately attacked here, and we've successfully negotiated with them before. I wouldn't call them friends, per say, but they're as non-aggressive to us as Ice is likely to get.'
"Alright," Debonah says, "I've been informed of news that Auril walks Lifasa, so this isn't a complete surprise." Looking ahead, flying along, "This way."
Gimme 1d100.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d100 : 58, total 58[/blockquote]
You wander the icy wastes for a short time until you see it ahead. A dogsled, great dire wolves pulling a sled where a minotaur stands. He is frozen over, white scales and patches of ice covering his entire body. He glares ahead but calls, "Those of Aurora, explain yourselves!" His voice carries over the howling of the winds, his sled barely visible and about 50ft away in the storm.
'Passing through on our way to Starline.' Tryll replies.
"Then teleport there," The minotaur snorts loudly, arms crossed. "Why waste ages walking?"
Dana shrugs, "I dunno, I'm wondering that shit myself. Hey Tryll, why are we walking?"
Debonah just says quiet, eyes on the minotaur and wolves.
'I've never been there before and I'd rather not attempt it blindly. Unless you want to risk the possibility of me missing] and we all become one with Ice?'
"Risk? I welcome it," The minotaur snorts, a loud and bestial sound. "Join with Ice. Become one with Winter. Thus will you enter into the embrace of the Frostmaiden, now and forever."
"Brr," Benyen shivers, "Sorry, but I'm not going to cheat on Dana with Auril, even if I bet she's ho-er, I mean she's gorgeous!"
Dana smiles at that, "Damn right you won't," she agrees.
'Apologies, but we have a bit too much to do right now to join Auril's domain. Perhaps another time. Was there anything else?'
The minotaur glares at you, but shakes his head. With a gesture the wolves turn and take him off, back into the storm.
And thus they continue onward.
"That was kinda weird."
"So yeah," Dana agrees, "We really just going to walk until we find it? Planar distance is fucking vast."
"You could fly?"
"Tryll," Debonah speaks up, "Are we going forward to Auril's Realm or are we going to Starline? Let us not waste time in case the enemy can divine our attack."
"That and it's bitterly cold," Miranda says, "Let's make a decision."
'Well, we're headed to Starline right now, so I don't know what you want me to say here.' Tryll replies.
Debonah sighs softly, "Tryll. How big is Ice?" she says. "The elemental planes are infinite. Infinite. As in they have no end and go on forever. The only reason there's boundaries to them is because of metaphysical laws, you can endlessly explore more and more Ice if you want to. There's no need or reason for many things to be close together. There can be hundreds, thousands or more miles between two points without it being remarkable. Do you know that Starline is close to where we are, on the border of Auril's holdings on Ice?"
"I've wondered about that," Miranda speaks up, "Why are there border regions if they go on forever? If it's endless, then it can't end."
"It has to do with metaphysical concepts and the elementals being linked," Debonah explains, "It's infinite, but you can pass out of it at the same time. Distance isn't the only important thing in the planes, but it is an important thing. In other words, open a portal closer if we're not stopping by Auril's domain and let's get this going."
'Oh. Right. I forget that, sometimes. Hm. Right, well. Where's the Machiss Glacier at?'
Okay, you got the info on that already, so the question is where precisely you're aiming relative to it.
Relatively nearby, I suppose? Within sight of the glacier, if possible. Near an entrance to the city, preferably. Out of sight is also preferred.
The blizzard winds are gone here, clear visibility. You stand beneath a hill, perhaps 50ft tall and rising up like a gentle swelling from the snow packed ground. Beyond you see it, looming - a massive, mountainous glacier. It is massive and flat, looming hundreds of feet high. It stretches back farther than you can see at this angle, shielded from most of the view.
"Deep within Machiss Glacier?" Dana repeats slowly, then grins. "This is gonna be good."
"I wonder how deep?"
"We'll have to go up and find out," Benyen says, "Should be fun." He readies his blade, Hell Striker in hand.
Debonah inclines her head forward, "They doubtless have patrols, defenses and obstacles. We won't get in unopposed."
"Good," Miranda says, "Let them break against us like an egg against the ground."
"That sounds messy. And sticky! I don't want lich guts on me!"
Debonah chuckles at that, "Then let us do the work and you support us."
Anyway, ball is in your court here, Yuth.
We go up!
Thus the party walks to the top of the hill. From here you have a view. It is massive glacier, deeper than you can see and vastly wide. It sits in the middle of a river, with water an intense, deep blue that crackles visibly with ice that forms and shatters in an instant. It does not dam the river, rather being in place and the water passing through countless holes and gaps within it.
What means of perception do you have, Yuth?
Standard.
No true seeing, see invisibility, blindsense or anything? Okay.
"Be alert," Debonah says, "Invisible riders patrol." Her voice is terse, a bow in hand from seemingly nowhere. They ride frozen mounts and carry blades like jagged icicles."
"Even fucking better," Dana smiles, "Coming right at us and saving us the walking!"
OH GOD YES TRUE SEEING sorry, just woke up
You can see them as well, 90ft up and 20ft to the west/northwest of you. They're already swooping on down at the party - great, armored warriors clad in ice-covered steel and carrying swords like jagged icicles. The horses are like horses of solid ice, flying as if they had wings.

The riders - about half a dozen of them - ar ehit by the blast, sent flying and rider in another direction. The others are battered and beaten, knocked about in all directions. Formation broken, they begin to recover and...
One down, 5 to go. That it for you turn, Calleigh?
"That should slow 'em down!" Calleigh says.
Yep.
The remaining riders rally and swoop down, blades flashing as they go past, trying to carve the party apart.
No AoOs due to feats they have.

Benyen gets a passing slash, a rip into his forearm as he blocks the blow from somewhere worse. His arm is instantly encased in a thin layer of ice, a shiver from him, "Damn, cold!" he says, shaking it back and forth.
Tryll.

Arrow after arrow flies true, plunging into the riders. Three arrows send a rider tumbling off his mount, two more finishing off a second. Then with a whirl she draws one more arrow, flying true at a third rider. It pierces through his armor at his throat, punching straight through and sending a gush of blood out. A gurgling cry as he plummets off his steed, only two remaining.
"Damn," Benyen whistles, "Not bad. Let's go, Hell Striker!" The paladin rushes up, blade crackling with blue lightning as he charges, before plunging his blade and...
> roll 1d20+54 (+2 charge, +10 smite evil, -10 PA)

The fourth rider, armored and armed, brings up his blade to block - and the sword is cut in half, Benyen's blade erupting in holy power. He cleaves through him like nothing, upper body falling away as the rest remains mounted, gushing blood as Dana grins savagely. "Yeah, like fucking that! Hey rump humper, you got this shit or do I have to go up there?"
Debonah's gaze is firm as she eyes the last rider, "Saving one for me? How sweet," she retorts, firing off a volley of arrows faster than you can blink, arm and bow a blur.

And like that the last rider takes six arrows in the blink of an eye, slumped over on his rider. Some lie in the snow about and some are clinging to their steed in death, but the frozen horses turn and gallop away in the air, routing. You've won!
Free act.

"Whoa, that was a whole lotta arrows!" Calleigh says, clamping onto one of Miranda's arms, "New favorite!"
"Why thank you," Miranda smiles, "I'm glad you appreciate a good bowwoman."
Clearing her throat, "Let us loot if we will and hurry. I doubt that will be the only patrol, and even if we slay the horses, I suspect they have magical means of communication."
"Oh boy, loot! Let's get 'em! I got a bag of holding for this!" Calleigh pats the bag at her hip.
Since time is a concern, how much are you going to loot? All that you can get or less than that?
Tryll will manifest Detect Psionics for the purposes of finding magical loot, and psionics can allow us to strip bodies quickly. Time Hop can make the object of our desire pop out of time. I don't see why a careful application wouldn't be able to just affect a dead body and not its equipment. It's no longer a person, after all.
Sure. You'll need to deduct the costs of Detect Psionics along with five Time Hops. Incidentally, they're too far apart for the augmentation to help here - they all fell from frozen horses in differing directions. Going to just grab magical loot?
And anything obviously valuable, yes. Gems, jeweled things, etc. We can probably come back for another pass later if everything goes aces.
Make Appraise, either yourself or someone else if they have a better total.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+50 : 20 + 50, total 70[/blockquote]
Welp, hopefully they have amazing stuff, or that 20 is wasted.
Thus things are gathered and...
See loot and then post back here with your next move.
Everything goes into Calleigh's bag and they move on!
Seeking an entrance.
From here you can see a few.
There are many opening where the freezing river flows into the glacier at the bottom of it. Surely there's paths within those caverns, right?
There's a few cracks and crevasses along the sides of the glacier. Perhaps you could go in and explore them?
Alternately, the top of the glacier surely has some sort of entrance somewhere, you could fly up and see?
"Let's check out some of the holes in the ice!" Calleigh suggests.
Which one do you mean, precisely?
I dunno, I can't see 'em! No idea! We'll pick one at random!
Okay, lemme repaste.

None of those describe themselves as holes. Openings, caverns, cracks, crevasses. Which do you mean? If none of them, where are you going to look precisely on the glacier?
Oh. Calleigh's not wordsy like that. She means the cracks and crevasses.
Sure. Gimme Perception plus a d100 roll.
Tryll[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+48 : 10 + 48, total 58[/blockquote]Calleigh[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+38 : 15 + 38, total 53[/blockquote]
Great. d100?
Whoops[blockquote]Rolled 1d100 : 28, total 28[/blockquote]
You can see three crevasses as you fly in.
The first is the biggest, running from the top down a few dozen feet. It's thickly lined with snow on both sides.
The next is a crack in the middle of the glacier. It's narrow - about eight feet tall and four side, but continues onward, quickly becoming a cavern.
The last is near the bottom, ice smoothed over and punched out there, big enough to easily pass in and no snow has accumulated there.
No snow sounds like a winner! Calleigh angles for the third location!
"C'mon," Dana agrees as you fly in. Here the ice is a swirl of blue and white, the passage sharply cold and slowly sloping downwards. The occasional rill of freezing water trickles down the walls.
No sign of trouble, at least not yet.
"We may have slipped past initial reprisals, but these tunnels are doubtlessly defended," Debonah remarks.
Also, marching order for reference.
Dana in front, Benyen, T&C, Miranda, Debonah in the rear. She likes it back there. She's an "in the rear" kind of solar. She likes to take things from behind. I'm making an inyourendo.
"Maybe! Or maybe we'll find some sort of icy monster with lots of loots!" Calleigh suggests.
"Maybe," Miranda says as you go along. The tunnel quickly slopes down and as you go? Abruptly Dana falls to the ground - though lands nimbly, barely sliding at all. "The fuck?" Dana says, "I can't fucking fly!"
"Anti magic?" Calleigh asks, flitting up to Dana.
"No, the rest of it's fine," Dana says, "Just can't fucking fly!" She jumps up and down a few times, landing nimbly and without any sign of flying.
Benyen steps forward and hits the ground besides Dana, "Yeah, it just stops. Hey Debonah, is that getting your wings?"
Debonah flies forward and lands softly as well. "It is," she says, wings flapping heavily and not moving her an inch. With a faint frown, "It's like they're working but nothing's happening."

"Well, we can still fly." Calleigh says. "That's weird."
That's more my mistake, since I didn't notice the part of you fluttering up. 100% my fault.
As Calleigh gets close to Dana, she simply falls to the ground, her wings no longer holding her aloft. Tryll can continue on there if he likes as well, he's not quite to it yet.
Well, one of two things will happen. Tryll will either be unaffected due to natural incorporeality OR gravity will abruptly reassert itself and he'll fall through the floor, never to return. Let's find out.
"Oof! Hey! That was rude!" Calleigh turns into a little ball of light with a pop and tries to float up.
Caleigh turns into a ball of light, but she's firmly stuck on the ground.
Tryll comes up. He falls to the ground but doesn't go through it, simply lying there.
Or option 3 since magic?
That's not a whole lot better.
Tryll abruptly flops to the ground, tentacles flailing uselessly. 'Well, this is a bother.'
Calleigh rolls around Dana in a circle, tiny ball of light on the floor. "Wheeee..."
Gimme na Acrobatics check, Tryll.
For who?
For Tryll.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+45 : 13 + 45, total 58[/blockquote]
Tryll keeps his balance just fine.
"That is a problem," Debonah concurs, "Can you move fast on land at all?"
"Yeah, carrying squid around is a losing proposition," Dana seconds. "Big losing proposition."
Perception.
'Well, back when I was mortal and had a body, being on land was a very dangerous proposition for my kind. We were never well-suited for it, and only the strongest of us could move our bulk around on land. I am...not strong. At all. I am completely immobile, in fact.' Tryll says.
Tryll's strength score of - really shines here.
Dana and Benyen exchange a long look while Debonah says...
How big is Tryll, first of all?
Also, I called for a Perception check last post.
Irrigo are very large when fully grown. As it is, he's in mist form. If he's actively being forced into his base form, he's roughly the size of double wide trailer home. Perception:
Tryll:[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+48 : 3 + 48, total 51[/blockquote]Calleigh[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+38 : 14 + 38, total 52[/blockquote]
Huh, you can hear a rumbling noise back the way you came. Rather like an avalanche, really.
'Sounds like the way we came has been collapsed.' Tryll sighs, 'Alright, let's see if we can find what's causing this, because this is ridiculous.'
Detect Psionics is manifested.
Psicraft.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+51 : 4 + 51, total 55[/blockquote]
You're on the edge of a zone that prevents flying completely. It's a powerful, custom spell that is remarkably powerful, the work of an arch wizard.
Oh, and the ground's starting to rumble. A rumbling noise is heard the wa you came, much louder now. Debonah turns and peers - and as the others do, you see it. A mass of ice and snow is coming down at all of you - avalanche!
Is there an anti-teleportation ward over the place?
Naturally.
'We're all going to die.' Tryll says calmly.
"Well, nice knowing you," Benyen drawls then shakes his head, "Someone throw up some wall spells! Does anyone have a good wall spell?"
"Nope," "Fuck no," "I'm afraid not."
The answers come back to back to back.
The avalanche is coming your way - fast. You'd best do something.
One round's actions here.
'I mean, some day. Probably not today, though. Maybe.' Tryll says, manifesting a wall of ectoplasm between the party and the avalanche.
How thick is the wall and what's the relevant hardness/hit points?
It is 7.5 inches thick. It has 75 hp and hardness 5.
With a wet plop of ectoplasm, the avalanche hits the wall. It holds for now, but it's already starting to bend inward, pressure starting to warp it. But for the immediate moment, you're safe.
Tryll slaps another three walls up against it to reinforce. 'We should probably find a way out of here.'
"You still need to be able to move," Debonah points out.
Benyen shrugs, "So it's a slipper downward path. Tryll's big, right? We can ride him down like a sled!"
'You can ride ghosts?'
"We need an idea then and fast," Miranda says, "We really don't have time for this!"
'The sledding idea does have merit, though.' Tryll says. Calleigh stops rolling around and turns into a courre again, climbing up Miranda's leg like a particularly gangly cat. 'Let me just-' A power is manifested, and Tryll's form rockets down the cavern.
Telekinetic Thrust manifested. Operation Ballistic Squid Missile is go.
"GO!" Dana calls, "Move your asses and GO!" With Tryll leading the way, jetting along, everyone hurries on down as the walls slowly give, one after another.
Awesome idea. Gimme an acrobatics check, as well as one for everyone except Calleigh, since she's on Debonah.

Woosh! Down the group goes, fast and faster and - CRAP! Ahead is a straight dropoff, twenty feet until plunging into a vast pool of icy cold water below.
"STOP OR GO INTO IT?!" Miranda shouts, going full bore down the slippery, icy tunnel.
"I'M FUCKING GOING FOR IT, FUCK THE AVALANCHE!" Dana calls, "GRIT YOUR FUCKING TEETH AND PUT ON YOUR BIG GIRL ARMOR!"
'I can't wait.' Tryll says icily as he careens over the edge.
"FUCK IT!" Benyen grins, "INTO THE DRINK!"
Thus the party runs off the edge and leaps into the water, an avalanche right behind them.
BRR! The water is unnaturally cold, powerfully cold as...
Fort saves, all.

Yes.

Dana takes half, Benyen takes full, Tryll takes half and Calleigh takes full. Energy resistance drinks it all up for Dana so she's fine.
Additionally, Benyen and Calleigh treated as having hypothermia and are fatigued.
The water is impossibly, terribly cold. All of you plunge deep into it from your impact, landing a good 15ft down at the bottom. Ow.
Any special perceptions, y'all?

True Seeing still active.
You can see them in the water. Great, bug like things of ice, larger as a horse. Vile things with spines on its long back and multiple legs, like a vermin. It is blue and black ice, more black than blue.
Two are about 30ft to the south of the party, clustered together. One is 20ft to the northwest and one is 25ft away to the east. You're surrounded, underwater and the water's freezing you fast as it can.

Okay, a few notes before this combat begins. Each round everyone needs a Fort save unless immune to cold. So give me that, C&T.
Secondly this is an underwater encounter. Review this for reference:
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/wilderness.htm#underwaterCombat
Finally, note that obviously breathing is a problem if you need to breathe. This hits Dana and Benyen, though fortunately they can hold their breath a good and long time.
Go read the italicized text in my last post again.
Whoops. Well, cat's out of the bag on what they are, but I'll keep the in init, y'all just don't know IC yet. Go ahead and make those Fort saves?

Half for Dana and Benyen, full for Calleigh and Tryll. Calleigh is now exhausted and Tryll is now fatigued. Miranda is up.
Miranda attempts to move up, swimming upward.

Miranda is able to swim to the surface of the still waters, a gasp of breath as she surfaces.
Debonah holds her ground, a flair of mental power surrounding her as she readies her bow and arrow.
Psionic Freedom of Movement.
Before the chilblain goes, gimme a Perception check, Tryll.

<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 11 > [d6=3,4,4]
No save but cold resistance and immunity applies. This is frostburn damage, so note it separately due to the difficulty in healing it.
The horrific creature rears back, a cone of blue-white icefire erupting from its maw, engulfing all the party save Miranda.
Reflex save, all. More frostburn damage, so you don't need to save if you null cold damage.

Can I get a list of enemy and ally positions and distances from us, please?
You can see them in the water. Great, bug like things of ice, larger as a horse. Vile things with spines on its long back and multiple legs, like a vermin. It is blue and black ice, more black than blue.
Two are about 30ft to the south of the party, clustered together. One is 20ft to the northwest and one is 25ft away to the east. You're surrounded, underwater and the water's freezing you fast as it can.
All of you but Miranda are grouped together form the landing, while Miranda's swum up to the surface.
Right. Energy Adaptation (cold), augmented to be immediate. 30 cold resist for T&C.
We'll follow that up with an Energy Lance (fire). Caster Level Check DC 25:[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+32 : 9 + 32, total 41[/blockquote]Time for some damage. Fully augmented. Twinned, maximized, empowered. 342 fire damage. Oh, let's beat SR just in case.[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+34 : 10 + 34, total 44[/blockquote]
Which one are you targeting?
Northwest one.
Calleigh uses her new fancy gloves to magically pull a new wand! She points it at the pair to the south, who are immediately engulfed in a pillar of fiery negative energy!
Stygian Conflagration
SR[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+17 : 9 + 17, total 26[/blockquote]Negative levels:[blockquote]Rolled 1d4 : 4, total 4[/blockquote]

What happens is utterly predictable and gratifying. The chilblain is obliterated where it stands, the supernaturally chilled waters recoiling from your blast of fire. One down, gone like it was never there.
Calleigh.
This time the psionic power around them fizzles, unable to latch onto the two to the south as...
Anything else for Calleigh. Didn't make SR.
Calleigh moves to hive behind Dana, using her shoulder as cover!
Done.

Dana and Benyen are up.
Dana looks on unimpressed, psionic power flooding her body, loosening her body from water's frigid embrace.
Psionic freedom of movement. Benyen.
Benyen slowly stomps towards the the two southern horrors, water sloshing around him as he advances.
Meanwhile, intense cold batters the party from the second southern chilblain, freezing breath and bone alike.
> roll 3d6
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 10 > [d6=4,5,1]
Frostburn damage again.
This chilblain rears back and emits the same horrid breath as the previous one, engulfing the party utterly.
Ref saves.

The blast of frozen breath buffets you all again, but you all endure. It's powerful indeed but not enough as Benyen grumbles, an aquatic sound as...

Will save. Mind-affecting, so say so if you're immune or warded.

1 point of Dex damage to Calleigh. This is a disease, so point out if she's immune to diseases.
Calleigh's flesh begins to freeze, becoming frosty, brittle. It's harder to move, leaving her body stiff and unresponsive. Numbness begins to envelope her body, leaving her a feeling of detachment from her form.
So free to move, Debonah turns towards the southern chilblain and calls, "Escape out if you need to," she says, her voice no longer impeded by water or merely mundane things. With smooth, fast motions she draws bow and arrow, loosing off a volley at that chilblain.

Save isn't needed here. Kaboom either way.
The blast of mustered power utterly vaporizes the last of the horrors, leaving the chill waters clear. You did it! You won!
Free act.
Tryll proceeds to launch himself out of the water and onto the ice with great precision and all the grace of a ballistic sack of wet potatoes.
WHAM! You land on the ice with a tremendous thump-thump-thump. It stings but works, getting you out of the freezing waters.
Miranda kneels next to you, "Do you need healing?"
'I will heal in time. Being a paragon has its perks.' Tryll replies, then says to Dana and Benyen, 'Get up here.'

"That's a good question!" Calleigh shakes herself like a dog, drops of half-frozen water flying everywhere, "Why didn't you?"
"I'm invincible against cold," Miranda says, "I assumed all of you would have your own protection."
"Likewise," Debonah says, taking a moment, a flex of pure power through her. Psionic might cascades through her body, the faint image of a third eye on her head appearing before fading away.
"My shield's plenty," Dana grunts, "So what, we fucking didn't do it because we all assumed each other could do this shit? Ah fuck."

"Groovy!"
'Anyone want to go loot the murdercrabs?'
As you ponder that possibility, you see you are on an ice floe in a lake of frozen water. Other ice floes float about. Beyond the chute you all came down - now clogged up with ice and snow, but it seems not to have spilled into the waters proper for whatever reason - you can see a passage to the north, about 10ft above water level and 80ft away. There's also a smaller path 20ft up and 130ft away to the east.
"They didn't seem to wear anything," Miranda points out, while Dana shrugs and hops right back in.
"They might be tasty." Calleigh points out.
"I doubt it," Benyen shakes his head, "Frozen creatures rarely do, you have to heat them up."
Debonah chuckles at this, as...
Perception.
Tryll[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+48 : 10 + 48, total 58[/blockquote]Calleigh[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+42 : 17 + 42, total 59[/blockquote]
"Yeah, but you've gotta check. If something tries to eat you, you gotta eat 'em right back! That's Great Teacher Renbuu's Third Rule for Living an Eclectic and Artistic Life!"
You can hear a dull rumbling from the clogged up passage you came from, a few little bits of snow coming unloose and gently falling into the water.
"More snow and ice coming. Gotta keep moving!" Calleigh says.
'Clock just started, Dana. More avalanche is coming. Come back up.'
'Fine, it's nothing anyway,' Dana says, emerging. "Which way?'
The rumbling is becoming more audible.
'Let's head for the north passage. It's closer.'
Okay, how are you getting there, more jetting?
Intercontinental Ballistic Squid.
Tryll jets over while the others hop, swim and make it over as well.
Dana climbs right up, as if the icy surface is a casual rock climb rather than an icy hellscape. "C'mon, I'll carve footholds and make sure to toss something down for the rest of you motherfuckers," she calls, as...WHHHHOOOOOOOMMMPPPPPP!
The way you came explodes with ice and snow, gushing into the lake and causing the waters to ripple hugely. Fortunately you all are warded sufficiently against cold now, though some are tossed around.
'Good timing.'
There's some fairly hard but doable climb checks here, but they're taking ten and getting aid from Dana, who has full ranks in climb. So there's not much point in posting rolls.
As the rest of the partly slowly makes it up? You see this passage goes down, into a sheer, transparent ice tube beneath the surface of the river, sloping down like a great slide. Soft, white snowflakes glitter in the air, falling and yet no accumulating on the icy surfaces ahead.
Tryll attempts to flop down the tunnel, unaided by psionics. It is ungraceful.
Dex it up, Tryllcreature. Dex check.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+10 : 1 + 10, total 11[/blockquote]
Huh, I thought your Dex was lower. No point in rolling it, my bad.
With a flop you manage to get enough to start sliding on down.
"Hey, wait up," Dana calls, leaping down and following as you start to gain speed - here you go again! "Come the fuck on, everyone!"
"Go Squidsled!"
"Here we go again," Benyen calls, the party following, sliding down the icy tunnel and into the snow - gah! The snow slashes and cuts at the party as you're already going, no chance to avoid it as a thousand tiny ice razors lash at you all.

It is not.

Yes.

Okay, no luck on incorporeal dodging. Touch ACs?

<Kobot> Kotono rolled 8d4 slashing damage, cold damage omitted as irrelevant as it won't beat cold res --> [ 8d4=20 ]{20}
20 damage to all hit, DR does apply.
Guh! The snow takes a toll as you slide down, muffled curses as the party goes through. Sliding fast and faster yet, you go down the tube, deeper and deeper. Ahead is a U shaped dip that goes upward a bit, like a natural ramp - and as you're racing down, you can't see what it leads to from here, be it a blind fall or more tube.

'Applying brakes. Brace for impact.' Tryll says, manifesting a wall of ectoplasm at the bottom of the turn.
I'm going to rule conditions warrant a Concentration check.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+46 : 10 + 46, total 56[/blockquote]
The wall appears just in time, a serious of wet thumps sounding as the party slams into it. Fortunately it's soft enough that any damage isn't a concern, but you're now covered in slime.
Miranda grunts and extricates herself from the wall, "It's like running headlong into a gelatinous cube, only without the acid burning."
"Non-burny slime is fun!" Calleigh says, slinging some slime onto Dana.
Splat! Right off the back of Dana's shoulder, getting her to turn, smiled head to toe. "Yeah, fuckin' great," she grumbles.
Debonah emerges and says, "Lower the wall and we can go see what's ahead."
Benyen snickers at that and grins, but keeps his mouth shut.
"I feel yucky. I think one of those crab guys did something to me." Calleigh says.

"Then be well," Debonah says, the lightest touch banishing the feeling of illness from Calleigh.
Remove Disease.
"Yay! Thanks!" Calleigh cheers as the wall of quasi-real slime vanishes.
Dana meanwhile ambles up, climbing away.
She can't fail the relevant checks.
"Daaaamn," Dana calls, "Good fucking idea stopping us, Tryll."
'Hmm?'
"It's a death trap ahead," Dana says, "Ice blades, lots of fucking ice blades."
Calleigh clambers up Dana's leg to see.
Whirling deposits of ice lash out with frigid blades of blue ice, slicing through the air ahead as the passage continues downwards, deeper into the river.
"...huh. So like an ice storm of awful and then more cold water? Bleah."
"If we can conjure enough fire, we should be able to melt them," Debonah points out, "That's not a bad strategy if we can manage it."
"Fuck, the one time we need fuckin' Simmer," Dana grumbles.
"We could just drop a couple energy walls on it. They're cheap."
"Do it," Miranda says, "Melt them all so we can get going."
Wanna try something. Manifesting Detect Psionics to see if I can determine where this anti-flight nonsense is coming from.
Psicraft.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+51 : 3 + 51, total 54[/blockquote]
Somewhere above you, roughly speaking. A bit further ahead, too.
'This is ridiculous.' Tryll says, slumping his way up over Dana.
"No fuckin' shit it is," Dana growls, "These fucking cockholsters have a real fucking lousy way of greeting guests."
Benyen laughs a little at that, "Well, we're making headway, at least. Once we can fly again this'll be simple."
"Dana's getting more inventive." Calleigh stage-whispers to Miranda.
Meanwhile, Tryll sets up a fiery energy wall next to the area of sleet. 'The source is somewhere above and ahead of us. Can't get a good read on it from this distance. I'll keep trying though. Once we get close enough, I'll bore straight to it.'
How much damage does the wall output?
[blockquote]Rolled 4d6+40 : 6, 5, 6, 3 + 40, total 60[/blockquote]
Before your flames, the sleet storm melts and the blue ice becomes a runny puddle, the way ahead cleared.
"Neat!" Calleigh says, clambering up Dana's side and into the tunnel.
"Let's go," Dana declares, as everyone starts to move.
Going deeper then?
Yes, moving on. Preferably toward the source of this obnoxious spell.
Down the tunnel all of you slide. This time it ends in a graceful bottom, the ice tunnel turning mostly translucent. Here the frigid waters of the river surround you, held at bay only by thick ice. Ahead is a small cavern of sorts, wherein nothing but some icy and stony rubble lies. There's no passages from here - is it a dead end?
True Seeing is active still!
In the center of the room is a faint, invisible outline engraved into the floor, some sort of circle pattern. It's partially covered by icy debris.
'Some sort of tune on the floor here.' Tryll says, inching closer for a look.
You'd need to get someone to remove the rubble to really get a look - too much of it is covered.
Tryll uses the endless power of telekinesis to clear away the debris!
The rubble is so moved, a rather intricate shape inside. All wavy lines and delicate curves, suggesting that...
K:A or K:P, whichever.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+50 : 4 + 50, total 54[/blockquote]
It's a portal, unactivated and woven into the magic of this place. The only problem is that it's keyed to individuals of a distinct bloodline, it will only work for them unless you can fool it somehow.
UMD checks!
Tryll[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+49 : 11 + 49, total 60[/blockquote]Calleigh[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+40 : 9 + 40, total 49[/blockquote]
In case of unintended activation, Calleigh pulls out a wand of Silence!
Which one tries first?
Tryll, natch
Got it! You're pretty sure it's activated now and should work. In theory.
Meanwhile Dana watches and Debonah says, "A portal? Is it bait or is it a real opportunity?"
'It appears to be designed to only function for persons related to a specific bloodline. It's unlikely anyone would expect us to be able to use it. Unless they're watching us right now. Actually.' Mind Blank is manifested! 'Right. So long as nobody is directly observing our progress, we should be able to get somewhere marginally useful.'
Benyen nods quickly, "Better than being here, at least."
"Much better," Debonah agrees, "Before Tryll exhausts himself by sending himself flying all over."
'The only part of me that's exhausted is my dignity.'
"Then let's go," Dana agrees, "Let's fuckin' do this!"
Thus does Tryll activate the glyph once everybody is ready and clearly going to be affected by said teleportation all at once.
Give me a second UMD check, tortle.
Taking 10 for 59
You are warm. You are free of the cold. You can fly! You appear in a fairly simple room, a circle surrounded by pillars. It is dark here, dim, only the fading light of an identical magical circle illuminating the room. A single door ahead leads out of the room.
Tryll floats slowly off the ground. 'That's better. Telepathy only until we know where we are, please. Calleigh can silence you if you're not stealthy.'
Can your group actually talk to everyone that way?
Probably not, but Tryll can act as a relay.
Okay then.
'That'll have to do,' Debonah agrees, raising a hand and then bringing a finger to her lips. 'Let's go.'
Dana nods with a scowl while Benyen points at the door and then to you, 'Go on, who takes the lead now?'
'OHHH ME!' Calleigh silently waves all of her limbs.
"Besides Calleigh," Debonah clarifies, "She shouldn't be in danger when we're here to do that for her."
'SHHH!' Calleigh says, 'No out-loud stuff! See, this is why I'm better at sneaking!'
Debonah goes silent, 'The point stands.'
'Nuh uh, I'm flying. Not standing. Also,' Calleigh points behind Debonah, 'We have company.'
Everyone turns to look behind Debonah, even Debonah.
No one is there.
Calleigh takes the opportunity to leave the room to go scout, phasing into the walls and making sure to stick to well-lit areas.
Ahead is a dark and silent hallway, perhaps 20ft long. About midway a broken skeleton sits, frozen metal mace and armor lying on the ground. The door on the far side is closed.
Tryll manifests Detect Psionics at a distance and shares it with Calleigh. Calleigh then inspects the skeleton!
Nada. Well, except for the frozen mace, that has some magic.
Calleigh carefully scoops the mace into her bag of holding then for later inspection. She proceeds down the hall, keeping a wary eye out for scry sensors and traps.
Gimme Perception then, tortle.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+39 : 1 + 39, total 40[/blockquote]
Nothing is awry as you reach the far door.
Anything magical on the door?
Nada.
Calleigh carefully peeks through to the other side of the door!
On the other side is a short hall that leads to a grated iron gate, completely iced over. You can't see much past it, but you're pretty sure you can see hints of more skeletons.
Calleigh will investigate the room first, then the gate. [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+39 : 17 + 39, total 56[/blockquote]
The room's floor is simple stone, the walls and ceiling masonry. Nothing interesting there and not much of interest here, save for one thing. On the frozen floor you can find a few words in a language you don't immediately recognize, engraved in and large enough to be read easily.
The gate itself is iced over completely, frozen in place by time and the embrace of winter. It's rather rusty, too.
Any magic anywhere?
No magic here.
Calleigh proceeds through the room and peeks beyond the gate!
Skeletons dot everything here: A coliseum littered with skeletons frozen over all about, vast and large. The stands have more skeletons, broken and entombed in ice forevermore. Skulls are locked in rictus screams, bony hands reaching up, as if salvation from the frost can be found in the sky. Other skeletons lie on the ground, broken and frozen over. Weapons and armors dot about, in various means of frozen over decay and damage.
Run.
There is a grated gate on the far end, leading within. There's various passages dotted about the stands. There's no sky - a cover of thick ice blocks any easy exit through the air. Skeletons of great flying beasts can be seen within that cover, flash frozen mid flight.
Run now.
Calleigh elects to return to the group!
Calleigh's trip back is uneventful.
Go ahead.
Tryll explains what Calleigh saw, 'So we have a likely gauntlet or something that we'll have to fight through. Thoughts?'
"It seems so empty," Benyen frowns, "It's going to animate when we go there?"
"Probably," Debonah says, "Unless we've found something completely unrelated, and I doubt that considering how well defended this place is. No, this is intentional and probably a defense."
'Magic lazers flying, then?' Calleigh asks.
"La..ser?" Miranda asks, frowning. "What is that?" Aloud, no less. She clears her throat softly and goes silent, blushing.
'Yeah, the fuck's a fucking laser flying shit?' Dana chimes right in.
'It's a story. We had this guy like a hundred years ago who was kidnapping villagers and sacrificing them to some weirdo evil god thing and then sewing them together and reanimating them and it was all super gross so we figured out where he was and set all his stuff on fire and when we confronted him he went on this long rant about how we couldn't stop him because he was the GREAT AND POWERFUL LAZARIM but halfway through his speech Tryll shot him in the face with a disintegration ray and instead of LAZARIM he said LAZurrrrr and then he fell down and I liked the word so I'm keeping it.' Calleigh says.
The booze in Las Vegas was that good, huh?
'Regardless,' Debonah says, 'Let's move.'
'Let's.' Tryll says, floating forward.
Thus the party reaches the iced over grate without incident. The question is simple: How does everyone get past it?
Tryll takes a good look at the gate. looking to see if it's attached to anything or if removing it will cause things to happen.
It's attached in place and rusted. Removing it shouldn't do anything beyond removing the barrier in your way. Bear in mind it's iced over, so any effort to remove it would need to deal with that as well.
Manifesting Time Hop
Augmenting +2 to affect both gate and ice.
Total cost: 7 PP
Gate and ice vanish from timestream for 31 rounds unless they're magical, in which case they can save Will DC 27
More like dimensionally displaced with campaign specific issues, but either way.
The gate and ice are shifted away, vanished away entirely for now.
Debonah strides forward, Dana right behind her. Benyen hurries along, "Well finally," he says, while Miranda checks her bow and follows with you. "I could use another fight."
"It's smashy time." Calleigh agrees. "The bad stuff is up ahead."
Thus you all step into the coliseum. Nothing immediately happens.
"...well this is disappointing." Calleigh remarks. Tryll looks around.
"Yes, I would have expected something," Dana says, "What the f-"
The rumble that comes from the other entrance is loud, enough to shake all of you to the bones.
"Never fucking mind!" Dana says, as you see the far, iced over grate groan, ice shattering as it slowly rises up.
'Perhaps it's on some sort of time delay? Or it's set up to be dramatic?' Tryll wonders passively.
The grate rises - and the fallen ice rises, before flying out at all of you like tiny javelins. Incoming!
Ref save. Incorporeal negates if you are.
Calleigh is still incorporeal. Tryll is always incorporeal.

The rain of ice is bearable, shield and speed seeing most of you through. When it clears, a white, furry quadrapedal beast emerges. It looks like a mix between a lion and an ape, all muscle and pouncing towards the party.

The arrows that follow pincushion its front and sides, arrows poking out all over. Blood follows as it wobbles but does not go down, Miranda calling, "More! Finish it!"

Ref DC 42 halves
SR to beat:[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+34 : 9 + 34, total 43[/blockquote]
Ref save isn't going to matter now that it's dead, since either way the damage is fatal after Miranda's arrows.
The blast vaporizes most of it, the remnants raining down from your blast. "Aw, come the fuck on, save some for us!" Dana growls.
Free act.
"Don't pout. There's probably all sorts of stuff here to smash." Calleigh says.
"Fuckin' better be," Dana says, as you hear it. A loud grinding within from where the ape-lion emerged, growing louder rapidly.
"Hold that thought, we may have more!" Benyen perks up, "About time!"
"This is not stealthy." Calleigh remarks.
"Yeah, we're shit at that anyway," Dana laughs, as it emerges. A great big sled to slide over snow, made entirely of metal. It is painted a bright blue color, moving without rider or beasts of burden pulling it. Instead, crossbows are mounted along the edges of the sled and the seating in the back, all pointed at the party.

Miranda is like lightning, arrows peppering it in an instant. Yet by and large they bounce off, "Adamantine weapons and lots of strength," she calls, "My arrows aren't strong enough!"
Tryll and Debonah, go.
Tryll targets the sled's armor with a pair of disintegration rays! Twinned maximized disintegrate against object. Does it get a save?
You need ranged touch attack rolls first, remember.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+28 : 1 + 28, total 29[/blockquote]
And that's why. Shake a fist at the natural 1. FYI it would've gotten a save as well, it's a construct.
Tryll's beam is aimed but errant, soaring overhead of the rampaging sled.
At the same time Debonah draws arrows as well, "Then hit ti hard and weaken it for Benyen and Dana," she calls, arrows flying.

Tryll's is higher than that and incorporeal besides. Calleighs is not, but she is also incorporeal.
Attack is magical so it'll have a 50/50 chance of hitting Calleigh. Dana is missed, Miranda is hit, Benyen is hit and Debonah is missed.

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 6d6+24 --> [ 6d6=28 ]{52}
Benyen is bashed back, knocked prone by it as Dana marche sup, "Okay, look here you metal cock holster, time to go run over cocks in Hell! Try it." A moment later her face splits open, twisting as she screams, loud enough to crack steel.
Dana is firmly putting herself dead in front of the sled.
Dana's Fuck You breath, augmented to 31 power points.

The scream cracks the metal on the sled all over, arrow-cracks spreading from it as...
Miranda.
Miranda keeps her arrows up, "Keep on it, keep hitting it!"

Tryll and Debonah. Go.

Constructs aren't good at saves. Get on the damage train, how much total?
264 first hit. 396 second hit.
The wagon is struck dead on, crumbling to dust from you two beams. Nothing is left of note, the entire thing disintegrated.
Free act. Right tool for the job.
Psionics are good for that.
'Alright then.' Tryll says, readying himself for the next contender.
"One shot, huh?" Dana glances back with a grin, "Good shot!"
"Here it comes," Debonah calls, peering ahead. Huh.
It is a tiny man-figure of ice, no bigger than a child's toy soldier. It advances on with tiny legs, walking slowly but steadily out.
"Whatsit?" Calleigh says.
K:A.
Tryll[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+51 : 9 + 51, total 60[/blockquote]Calleigh[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+39 : 10 + 39, total 49[/blockquote]
It's some sort of tiny construct, probably custom work. A tiny ice golem? You can't imagine it would be effective unless it's been heavily adjusted and customized.
Tryll attempts diplomacy! 'Hello.' But also prepares to set the thing on fire because that's a lot more likely!
Bows and arrow are ready, swords out. The tiny figure bows and begins to whirl, icy winds gusting from it. Looks like a fight after all!
Init. It was worth a try, but yeah.

Calleigh does. Both are incorporeal too.
> roll 1d100 vs 1-50 Tryll+Calleigh
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 vs 1-50 Tryll+Calleigh --> [ 1d100=1 ]{1}
They're off the hook.
Dana evades and takes none, Miranda takes full, Benyen takes half and Debonah takes full.
> roll 20d8 piercing cold so ignores resistance and deals half to immunes
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 20d8 piercing cold so ignores resistance and deals half to immunes --> [ 20d8=91 ]{91}
The blast of cold is overwhelming and yet passes through Tryll and Calleigh harmlessly. Dana bulls past it, ice shearing away from her as Miranda gasps, covered in thick ice. Benyen manages to avoid that, stumbling forward as Hell Striker burns with heat. Debonah can't even say a word before she's entombed as well, before the ice slides off of her harmlessly.
Debonah has freedom of movement on her. Good timing. She's up.
Debonah takes to wing and flies freely amid the frigid wind. She prepares arrows and aims, before unloosing a volley at the little construct.

The arrows fly, yet winds and speed protect it. It moves so fast you can't even follow it, Debonah adding, "It's warded! Mage armor too!" she calls.
Miranda.
Trapped in ice, Miranda struggles and attempts to break free.
> roll 1d20+7 strength check
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+7 strength check --> [ 1d20=16 ]{23}
Yet Miranda is stuck, unable to escape, struggling in vain.

Calleigh turns to Miranda, one wand replacing another!

Rotten luck on the dice.

Dana is up.
Dana advances forward, struggling against the winds, shield up to meet them head on.
> roll 1d20+7
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{16}
Dana can't close in to within 10ft, fearsome winds checking her. "You fucking windy cock gargling asshole!" she snarls, held in position.
Benyen races in, sword raised above his head, "Wind this!"
> roll 1d20+8
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{11}
And he's checked 15ft away, behind Dana. "Ugh!"
Tryll.
'I can play with wind, too. See?' Tryll says, four snaking jets of chaotic air reaching out of his face toward the golem.

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+36 : 17 + 36, total 53[/blockquote]
The winds clash and with a howl, the little golem is knocked down. The winds are still as it waggles about, trying to rise.
"NOW!" Dana calls as Debonah draws her bow and arrow, firing off another heavy volley.

Arrows pepper it all over, piercing deeply into the icy golem. It continues to try and get up, struggling as Miranda attempts to break her icy tomb.

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{23}
"Aaah!" The ice breaks around Miranda this time, shattering entirely and freely, freeing her.
Calleigh.
Calleigh swaps out wands, poking Miranda!
Heroism!
CL on heroism?
Meanwhile with the little statue down, Dana steps into position and stabs down at it, again and again.
"FUCK...YOUUUUUU!"

Dana's rapier pierces again and again, making more holes in the little golem as Benyen charges in, a battle cry as he slams down a double handed blow.

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 4d4+118+1d6 --> [ 4d4=8 1d6=2 ]{128}
Benyen's blow cuts deep into it, almost through it entirely, flames licking at the golem as it scurries up, steam rising from its icy form.
Tryll.

Heroism is CL 4.
Dana and Benyen are in close quarters now, so Tryll's options are now limited. He chooses to wait and see what action the golem takes next.
Going to try and interrupt or just plain holding?
Since you've just HANDED me metaknowledge, I'm gonna roll Arcana to try to figure out what it's doing. [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+51 : 18 + 51, total 69[/blockquote]
I meant if you think it's going to take a particular action, not that it's for sure going to do something interrupt worthy. I can go forward with the roll if you want, but that'll commit you to the action no matter what it does. Your choice.
Well, there's not much I can do except ready an action in case it does something that clears some space. Standard knowledge about golems tells Tryll that it's likely magic immune, so indirect effects are needed. Most of mine are AoE. So I'll ready another tornado blast.
Init is Little Golem (40) > Debonah (24) > Miranda (20) > Calleigh (19) > Dana (18) > Benyen (13) > Tryll (10)
The little golem hops up - and oh no, you can see it, the winds coming, the magic you scan supporting that. They're starting up again!
Your chance, tortle.
Tornado Blast's got a radius. I'm assuming that it could damage Benyen & Dana as well as the golem, right?
Yes, assuming the radius is big enough to get them.
Bummer. Continuing to hold until he pushes them away again.
Again the winds come, "Brace!" Benyen calls, as bitterly cold winds pierce through your bodies.
Ref all.
Incorporeality.
Magic, like last time. 50% chance of getting through, make the save and I'll sort it out in the morning.

...natural 20s are bad?
The winds blow fanatically, vicious, cutting into you. All of you endure as Tryll feels numbness, slicing into his form, freezing him hard. As he with stands it, there's one problem - Benyen and Dana manage to somehow hold their group, resisting the winds and staying right where they are.
At the same time all but Dana are covered in ice, thick ice - so is Tryll, surrounding him in a tomb of frost that he floats right on through, hardly bothered at all.
Going to act now? Golem's done, everyone but you two and Dana is iced over. Otherwise Debonah and then Miranda are up.

Thought. How much does that block of ice that Tryll ignored weigh?
40-60 pounds, maybe? It's not a huge block as much as a tight, thick coating.
Okay. the shells and such from the others, are they still around? Lots of debris being piled up?
Yes.
Neato.
Tryll abandons the power of wind, as it will not serve him well right now. Instead he reaches out and grabs every piece of loose debris in the room; ice chunks, corpses, weapons, arrows, anything not currently held or nailed down, and launches it at the golem with violent speed!

For reference:QuoteHurled weapons deal their standard damage (your Strength bonus does not apply; arrows or bolts deal damage as daggers of their size when used in this manner). Other objects deal damage ranging from 1 point per 25 pounds of weight (for less dangerous objects such as an empty barrel) to 1d6 points per 25 pounds of weight (for hard, dense objects such as a boulder).
Unfortunately, with the wind blowing and howling, your telekinetic assault fails, pushed back and away. The winds are just too strong again.

Anything else this round. Debonah missed it on a 78 when its winds were going, just FYI.
It was worth a shot. That's it for Tryll.
The ice sloughs off Debonah, who shakes her wings clean of it. Standing firm she tries to race in, fighting the winds.

With a loud crack of breaking ice, Miranda manages to free herself entirely. "Ah!" she cries, fragments of ice blown away by the tremendous winds.

This time a few more stabs pierce deep - and with a final one, the golem goes still. The winds stop. Have you done it? You've won!
Free act.
How big is that golem?
Small.
Calleigh swoops down and stuffs the golem into her bag, limb by limb! "Clickety clack, into my sack!"
Ice is shattered as Benyen shivers, "C-cold. I think we could use some time to heal or some magic," he offers, "Everyone alright?"
"I've had better," Miranda seconds, "Never again will I lament not being subject to cold. Magically enhanced cold is a bitter thing."
"This lil guy shoulda been a snowman! He'd have been much more fun! Now he's MINE!" Calleigh says with a cackle. 'WHAT'S NEXT!?"
No more opponents are emerging, thankfully.
Tryll and Calleigh investigate the room, looking for ways to proceed forward!
On a glance, the only way ahead is the way the way your opponents came from.
Then on we will go!
Beyond it is a passage that leads to a flat dead end. Nothing? Nothing seems to be here, just an empty space where perhaps your challengers waited.
True Seeing still up.
Tryll & Calleigh start phasing through walls to find other areas!
"There's surely a secret here somewhere," Benyen agrees as you all search.
Perception.
Tryll[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+48 : 14 + 48, total 62[/blockquote]Calleigh[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+41 : 18 + 41, total 59[/blockquote]
Ahah! There's a hidden door on the left wall, tucked away and able to be pushed back. A chunk of wall carefully fitted to do exactly that.
Tryll pulls the door open, telling the others, 'Over here. We've got a hidden door.'
"I thought so," Benyen agrees as it opens up to a dark, frigid and musty passage sloping upwards.
It's also narrow, so it'll be single file.
Tryll completely ignores the size of the passage, phasing through leisurely. Calleigh becomes corporeal and sits on Miranda's shoulder. "I wonder what's next!"
Dana follows, then Benyen and Miranda, with Debonah taking the rear.
The passage winds upwards and upwards, a steady slope as you rise. As you go, you begin to hear the sound of running water.
'That's strange. We must be getting close to a living area. Running water shouldn't be a thing here.'
'There was that water earlier,' Debonah sends, 'It may be the same sort of water.'
'I'm trying to stay positive here.' Tryll replies as they proceed.
Deeper into the ice tunnel, the sound of water becoming louder. Crashing water now, starting to dominate. Around a bend and up, a sharp path up to a gaping opening.
The wind that blows into the tunnel from here is bitterly cold, far colder than the air you're leaving.
"You had to jinx it!" Calleigh says to Debonah.
"Logic is not jinxing anything," Debonah retorts, while Miranda hurries ahead, going to peek at what lies beyond.
Tryll keeps pace with Miranda!
Waterfalls.
Waterfalls of ice and water, like great cups of ice water being endlessly poured out. You are hundreds of feet up now, looking down at dozens of waterfalls cascading down to a center pool far below. The air here is cold enough to be felt even with your wards against the cold. The pool below is radiant with energy, great chunks of ice going from vast bergs of white to perhaps house sized chunks of blue.
All about in the waters dwarves work. Dwarves with frost white skin and blue hair and bears, mining the blue ice from flat boats, loading up wicker baskets with it. Despite the water plunging from the waterfalls, it merges into the pool below smoothly, not the slightest ripple.
You can watch the boats come and go, but they all towards the far side of the room, where a river path leads further into the glacier.
'Huh. Some sort of frost dwarf?' Tryll wonders. 'I wonder if they're friendly.'
Calleigh casts Detect Evil.
Unfortunately for Calleigh, Detect Evil's 60ft radius is insufficient for this task. You'd have to fly down and get closer.
K:P can be made here.
Tryll[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+51 : 7 + 51, total 58[/blockquote]Calleigh[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+42 : 17 + 42, total 59[/blockquote]
They're dwarves who have become creatures of cold, affected by the energies here to become natives. They're otherwise dwarves, though they likely have some additional powers related to ice and cold.
'They're just dwarvses. We should go say hi. Maybe they won't want to kill us immediately?" Calleigh says.
Dana snorts at that.
Meanwhile Miranda murmurs, "They remind me of some of the dwarves from the deeper levels of Ysgard. It may be possible to talk them down or get them out of our way without a fight."
"Maybe they're just regular townies on Ice doing their thing? Whatever that thing is?" Calleigh stares down at the dwarves as they do their inscrutable ice whatever.
"They're mining," Debonah adds in here, "Do you see the blue colored ice. That's blue ice, a rare material used to make weapons and armor. It's expensive, in the same range as mithral for price. It never melts, so it's ideal for cold weapons outside of cold environments."
"So wait, all of that's like fucking mithral for money?" Dana whistles, "Shit, that's a lot of fucking money down there!"
'Yes, but the real trick would be moving it all. It's not something that would sell quickly. Not in normal channels, anyway. You'd need a middle man or a proxy. Expensive. Unless you WANT to give up fighting and become a merchant?' Tryll replies.
"It's not our goal, anyway. Later," Debonah gestures, "We're wasting time just standing here and talking over money we can't do anything about right now."
"Yeah! Why waste time when we could be talking to dwarveses!" Calleigh says, launching herself off the side of the path and falling toward the dwarves below.
DAna watches her go, "Well shit, here we go then," she says, hopping out and starting to fly down, Benyen following. Miranda steps aside and gives Tryll a look, "I'll stay up here," she says, "I'll rain down support if you need it. Call me if I'm not needed."
'She'll be fine, probably. She's got ways of escape if she's really in trouble.' Tryll seems unworried.
Staying up here with Miranda, Tryll?
Yes.
Calleigh, Dana, Benyen and Debonah descend. As you get closer you see the dwarves working away, the freezing waters not seeming to bother them one jot.
Go ahead here, Calleigh.
Calleigh wastes no time, flying in a circle over the dwarves, "Hellooooo frosties!"
The dwarves turn, looking up in sheer shock as Calleigh flies around. Dana and friends follow as dozens of dwarves stare at the hyperactive courre.
"Yo," Dana says, "Nice to meet your asses."
"Are you guys cold? Are you normal dwarves? Are you slaves? Are you getting paid for this? Do you have CANDY?!"
"Who...who are you?" One of the dwarves ask, in a voice like the wind of a blizzard.
"Hi!" Calleigh zips up to the dwarf, "I'm Calleigh! That's Dana and Benyen! Nice ta meetcha!"
"You're not the masters," A voice keens, like the winds blowing, "What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here." You see dwarves raise pickaxes and mining tools at the ready.
"Shit," Dana mutters, "So you cockholes are that far down the ladder of being fucked up slaves?"
"We're not here to fight! Or steal your rocks!"
Gimme a quick Diplo check since you're at least trying.

Your words fall on deaf ears, for the dwarves raise weapons, beginning to come at the party!

Miranda opens.
Peering down at the sudden chaos, "Tryll," Miranda asks aloud, already nocking an arrow, "Do you have anything that can subdue them without killing them effectively?"
'Sure do.'
'Tell them to hold, better than than risking weapons,' Miranda thinks.
'Right. Everyone wait a moment, please. I'll try to do this non-lethally.' Tryll says to the group.
'Yeah, fine,' Dana sends, holding her ground.
Go.

A great mass of dwarves are imprisoned within the cocoon, caught deftly and held. Seeing that, the remainder falls back carefully, splitting apart and putting distance between one another.
Calleigh is also up, doing anything?
Calleigh flies up out of reach, saying, "Your friends are fine, just immobilized. We don't want to fight you! Can't we all just get along!?"
Gimme another Diplo check. No modifier as pluses and minuses essentially cancel out in this case.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+45 : 11 + 45, total 56[/blockquote]
The remaining dwarves do not fight any more. Instead they flee, fleeing away and certainly not attacking the party.
Free act for the moment, feel free to do something if you wanna try and stop them from running.
Are they fleeing in a specific direction, or just randomly?
Towards the opening at the far side, where the boats go.
Tryll drops a wall of ectoplasm over the obvious exit.
The sticky wall appears, blocking off the way out.
This gets the dwarves to freeze, trapped, whirling around as...
Go ahead.
Calleigh grins. "Want to be friends!?"
The dwarves turn cautiously, mining weapons raced defensively.
"Child," Debonah murmurs, "I feel a less aggressive stance is needed."
"I'm not scary! I'm a courre! Everybody loves us! We're the good guys!"
"Everyone should love you," Debonah agrees, gesturing at the dwarves, "But is that a look of love?"
"That's the look of dwarf. Who knows?"
"The point is," Debonah goes on smoothly, "Is that they need a softer touch. Try that. Don't overwhelm them with energy."
"Not...so much? Energy? How?" Calleigh looks confused.
As the two of you talk, you can see the dwarves are slowly starting to advance, while a few swing pickaxes and similar things at the wall of ectoplasm.
"You two, get it going!" Benyen calls, "Before we have to start knocking them out!"
"Okay!" Calleigh turns to the dwarves, "Are you guys prisoners or slaves? You work for the big lich guy, right?"
One more Diplo check, see if you can salvage this. G'luck.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+45 : 5 + 45, total 50[/blockquote]
The dwarves flee to the covered wall, trying to pickaxe the wall of ectoplasm down.
Chance to act as they try and retreat from the party.
This just serves to bunch them all together, where Tryll bundles them up.

Got them! All bunched up it's easy to get the remaining dwarves all cocooned up. Whew!
"Sorry guys! Can't have you go reporting to your evil undead boss guy! If he doesn't already know we're here, anyway. Those'll wear off in a bit!" Calleigh says as the wall of ectoplasm collapses. "What should we do with them?"
Debonah looks back up your way, 'How long will that hold them?'
'A bit over a day.'
"Then let's go," Debonah says aloud, then repeats it in your mind.
And so they go! Those dwarves must have been headed somewhere!
Thus all of you travel along. The river is bitterly cold, the ceiling 30ft up or so, enough for you to fly through comfortably. As you do...
Gimme quick Perception.
Tryll[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+48 : 14 + 48, total 62[/blockquote]Calleigh[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+41 : 11 + 41, total 52[/blockquote]
As you go, Tryll notices dark shapes moving deep in the river below. Big shapes, yet surprisingly blending in well, hard to catch.
'Large creatures below us, in the river. Be aware.' Tryll says as they move forward.
Dana glances down, 'Any didea what the fuck they are?'
'More of what we fought before?' Miranda asks, 'Best if we avoid a conflict that we don't have to fight, but...'
'No idea! Best to probably kill them fast.'
'Then let's strike,' Debonah agrees.
They're 30ft down to the river and about 10ft down in the river, moving fast. Obviously super cold water is between you and the shapes. Your call on how you attack here.
'Well, not NOW. They're not attacking us. Let's not waste time.'
In that case, you fly onward. The river ends and hooks right, ceiling sinking down to 10ft. Here is a dock with several boats, including one still half laden with blue ice. A trio of ice dwarves are here, unloading it as the party flies closer.
Tryll reaches out to the dwarves with BRAIN POWERS, 'Hello.'
The dwarves look up sharply, a moment of shared alarm between them.
'Please don't panic.' Tryll says. 'We're not here to fight.'
Diplo check, oh squid, you said the right things to them at the right time.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+49 : 15 + 49, total 64[/blockquote]
The dwarves - do not attack, at least for now. They watch the party carefully, Dana looming and Benyen at her side. At the same time Debonah smiles and lands slowly, crouching. "Peace," he murmurs gently, "We mean you and yours no harm."
Calleigh waves cheerfully from Miranda's shoulder. 'What are your names?'
"...Icewind," One finally offers in Dwarven.
"I'm Calleigh!" 'And I am Tryll.'
"I am Debonah," Debonah introduces herself, a smile as she stays where she is.
"...what do you want?" The dwarf finally asks.
"Candy!" 'Or directions.'
"To where?" The dwarf asks, keeping some distance between all of you and them.
"Whoever's in charge?"
The dwarf bows slightly and gestures, "Follow."
"YAY! Onward noble valkyrie!" Calleigh points at the dwarf.
As you go, Dana gives you a look. She mouths, 'trap?' to you.
Meanwhile a broad hallway is ahead, full of floating disks of light. They slowly go forward, carrying cargoes of blue ice.
'Maybe! There's a lich involved, so it's not a bad idea to check.' Tryll manifests Read Thoughts.
DC 26 negates. Any creature that saves is simply not affected by the power. I read everyone within a 60 ft cone from me.
> roll 3#1d20 they're 20 fishing here
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 18, 2, 19 >
They're thinking about you and how dangerous all of you look, as well as what the masters will think of this.
Well, they haven't seen anything yet! 'They don't seem to be plotting. There's definitely some sort of master/subservient dynamic going on here though.'
'Yeah, probably slaves," Dana sends, 'Wonder if they still remember how to be free or if they're that fucked?'
'We'll save them, one way or another,' Miranda vows back to you, 'Focus on the how, not the if.'
'If we get to steal the city, I'm sure we can find a home for them if they don't want to stay.'
A laugh at that from Dana as all of you follow. The path continues on past the floating disks, to where several dozen dwarves work. Here the blue ice is taken and gently chipped, molded with scalpels and similar tools. The walls curve around for more space, where various baskets sit. Once finished, pieces of blue ice in various shapes and sizes are placed within.
Ahead lies a further passage that slopes upward. Yet standing before it is a man or at least a humanoid. He is clad in blue ice armor head to toe, features lost beneath his armor. An ice axe hangs at his side as he stands there.
"Master, master," One of the dwarves calls, "Here! They are here for you."
Whuzzat?
Some sort of creature in armor. Looks humanoid.
Gimme K:P.

It is likely this is a warrior of Starline, similar to the ones you fought before.
"Hi! Who're you!?" Calleigh greets politely.
The figure stares several moments, arms crossed now.
"Who are you?" He asks back, voice sharp and slightly nasal. "You are not of Starline."
"Nope! I work for the Queen!"
The man's response is to draw his iceaxe and..."Alert!" he shouts.

Arrows slam into the armored man high and low, perforating him and piercing blue ice like tissue paper. He cries out in shock and alarm, a wet and gurgling sound as...
Calleigh, you and the armored man are up. Go.
"We don't have to fight! STAHP! Can't we all just get along?"
Trying to deescalate with your turn, Calleigh?
sure
Give me Diplo.

G-guh! Calleigh is frozen by that, reeling. She can't feel anything, her entire body numb.
You have a -6 penalty to Dexterity. This is a penalty and not ability damage, so odds are it goes away soon. A penalty can't reduce your Dex below 1.
As Calleigh takes it, "Foolish and cruel," she says sharply, "Lament in Hell."

The hail of arrows that hits him next sends the armor-wearing fool down, perforating and bleeding out from nearly a dozen arrow wounds.
Free act.
Calleigh is looking a little blue! "Chilly! That was mean!"
As the other dwarves turn and flee from you, Debonah asks, "Do you need healing?"
"Please!" Calleigh flicks icicles off of her arms. "I feel slow again!"
HP? How much healing does she need, roughly? They can tell rough damage to now if a minor heal is needed or something better is.
She took 30 hp worth of damage.
Benyen comes forth and taps Calleigh on the shoulder, wounds healing.
"Let's get going," Debonah says, "More are likely coming now. The overseers here are not trifles."
30 points of lay on hands.

"Yay! Thanks!" And on they go.
Down the passage it continues, and it's easy to see them. 100ft ahead are several smaller tunnels ahead and to the sides. From the rightside tunnel they emerge - two big, white, hairy humanoid creatures, big as Hanna. They're pure muscle, shambling ahead and towards the party. You have a problem!
Init. Baddies are reacting.

Before you can react further, arrows fly. The second yeti is pierced with half a dozen arrows, falling back with a wet gurgle and hitting the ground. It bleeds icy blue, dark and glittering, frozen as it leaks from its hairy body. Yet as it struggles it manages to raise a hand, a staggering gust of wind blowing that...
Str checks, all.

The wind blows momentarily and sharply. It's braced and endured by all of you, save by Calleigh. Calleigh is sent flying end over end, driven into the ground by the wind and left momentarily reeling.
Calleigh is prone. Debonah.
Debonah stands there, unmoved by the winds. She draws her bow with an almost leisurely ease, no comment as arrows perforate the hides of the still upright yeti.

The arrows strike true, that one going down and not trying to get up, bleeding out on the ground from Debonah's barrage. Benyen hurries over the the other downed one as he struggles, blade coming up and then down, going for his throat.

It is done. A flaming slash renders the other yet still, no more resistance. You did it. You won!
Free act.
"Ugh," Calleigh grouses, floating back into the air, "are we gonna have to fight the whole city?"
Dana's eyes light up at that, smiling ear to ear.
"We need to reach the city and make an impression, end this by dealing with the leadership," Debonah shakes her head, "Before we drown in lesser servants."
'I can last quite a long time, but not forever. I'm not really inclined to kill everything here, either. Not all at once, anyway. And these dwarves appear to be enslaved. That irritates me.' Tryll says. 'Let's move.'
You advance down the hall and suddenly - !!!
Marching order?
Dana up front, Debonah, Miranda/Calleigh, then Benyen with Tryll sharing space with all of them.
Dana stops abruptly, as before you it emerges. Bigger than a pack of Hannas, the head blocks the hall ahead utterly. A head carved of ice, glaring steadily at all of you. Eyes of pale blue, eyes of radiance and frost that gaze at you.
"Intruders, surrender or flee," It intones in Aquan accented Common.
"What happens if we surrender?" Calleigh asks.
That gets you more than a few looks - Dana an eyeroll, Benyen surprise and Debonah amusement.
"You will be tried for your crimes," Is the answer the creature gives you.
Time for a surprise round?
Are you attacking him or something? I mean, he's right in front of you and eyes on you, so you're not surprising him.
Not Calleigh, Tryll. The squid made of mist with no visible tells.
Please be specific about those sort of things. I'm can't discern your meaning from just arbitrarily saying it's time for a surprise round, without you saying who is doing what that may provoke such a thing.
So, what is Tryll doing?
I was gonna blast ice face with disintegrate.
Go for it, make your ranged touch roll, and then any follow up rolls as needed.
"Nah." Calleigh says, a beam of destruction lancing out from in front of her as she says so.

Arrows. Before anyone else Miranda has fired, arrows peppering the face of the creature. It cries out in a dull, rumbling sort of pain as Dana grins, rushing right up to it and...

Meant to be +25 so it's a total of 37.
The blast of flame lances right through the creature's head, exploding viciously and leaving most of it's upper head a melting ruin. Yet as it stays there....
That it for your turn, Tryll?
Yessir.
The head is hit hard, and what remains of it retreats into the ice, out of sight. You...well, it's not over, but it's not attacking you. Are you safe?
Free act for now.
"We really are gonna have to fight every wacko in this place, aren't we?" Calleigh complains as she re-seats herself on Miranda's shoulder.
"I hope so!" Dana says, while Debonah merely clears her throat. "We need to hurry, find the city and make an impact, rather than wandering these tunnels."
'Let's go find someone who looks like they're in charge and ask them. Maybe someone who's not a giant face made of ice that wants to enslave us.' Tryll says.
Moving ahead, then?
please
Ahead, past all of this and past the side passages, just flat onward? An archway of ice is ahead, leading to a stairway going up. Brighter light comes from just above where you can see on that stairway, the air fresher, colder from it.
"Ohhh! Either we're headed outside, or maybe to the city!" Calleigh cheers. "Either way, we'll know where we are!"
Thus the party steps out and beyond. Here is a vast hollow within the glacier. Spires of ice and stone rise tall, buildings connected by bridges high above the ground. You come on a cliffside with a road winding down, a great city of ice before you. It is roughly shaped as a wheel, with the towers rising taller in the spokes of the wheel and shorter in the center.
"It's made of ice. I'm surprised and I don't know why." Calleigh grumps.
'Let's just get down there.' Tryll says.
Benyen laughs, "It's like building a castle of stone - use what you have."
"For as long as we have before being attacked," Debonah says, bow and arrow at the ready.
Perception.

In the light of the glacier you can see them. Warriors armored in blue ice, riding frozen wyverns and drakes. Ice para elementals, blizzards of fury, rising up. Spectral things, howling wraiths and worse.
Without any doubt, you have been noticed.
'Mentalist,' A voice sounds in your mind, chilling you. 'Why do you seek Starline?'
'Seeking stolen goods.' Tryll sends back. 'Also, we were going to take your city back from Ice, but to be honest it's not the sort of real estate investment that I was expecting. It's a bit too...icy.'
'Stolen good? What stolen goods?' is the answer you get back. 'Explain yourself.'
'Three Heart Rubies have been tracked to this location, stolen by a man named Kelan.'
'There are not here. Leave and leave now, or face the consequences of your aggression.'
'Ah, then you know what we seek. They were here, then. If they're not here, where have they gone? Also, are those dwarves mining the ice slaves?'
'You seek Daepana, Sage Master.' Is the voice you get, 'Leave now or perish.'
'Oh good, you do know where they are. I'm certain you could provide directions, then. Also, are those dwarves mining the ice slaves?'
There is no reply. Meanwhile, you can see them approaching - blizzards and wyvern riders, howling wraiths and worse things yet. They're starting to get closer, Debonah and Miranda with arrows ready, "We going to make a stand here or what?" Dana calls.
"Are you okay with them keeping slaves?" Calleigh says.
'We can probably make a better stand in the tunnel. Their numbers will be worth less.'
"Then we fall back," Debonah calls, "Go! I'll provide arrow cover while all of you go!"
'No, move together. Fire while retreating. Leaving yourself exposed is foolish, no matter who you are.' Tryll says, his lower right eye turning to focus on Debonah.
Debonah returns the look steadily, as Dana and Benyen fall back and...
Going to straight retreat or add anything to this?
Tryll will retreat with Debonah.
Arrows are fired and the party retreats - and that begs a simple question: What sort of formation do you make to face this?
"Dana and Benyen you're up front! Stay back about thirty feet into the tunnel! Let them come to you! Miranda and Debonah, your priorities are casters and archers! Take targets of opportunity as they come! That'll keep Dana and Benyen from being overwhelmed. Squidboss and I are on support and healing! We can beat 'em!" Calleigh says, launching herself off of Miranda's shoulder.
Debonah gives Calleigh a long look, far from convinced, "It's about as sound as we can do on short notice, hope they can't flank us too easily," she says, taking position 20ft back from Dana and Benyen, who firm up a line as....they're coming, coming fast!
Init times. G'luck.

The Dead open.
It is the restless wraiths and spirits that fly up first, coming up into view. They let out low, dreadful moans that echo about the passage back, like the dying gasps of a drowning man.
Will save. This is a fear effect, note if immune.
Forgot to Mind Blank again! Ah well.

Miranda holds position, a volley of arrows flying. A wraith gets three arrows into it, enough to impale it and cause it to fade away, but a dozen others replace it, swarming outside as...
Wyvern riders.
The wyvern riders come ahead, just beyond the massing undead. They gesture and point, eldritch words uttered as tiny dots of light slam into you all.
Magic missile. Protective aura shields Debonah.

Missiles pepper the party as wyvern riders position, Dana grinning as Benyen calls, "We're right here, come and get it!"

A line of bright, celestial power bursts forth. When it clears, a gap in the forces is there - nothing in it survived, yet more are pouring in - cautiously now, cries of, "Hold! Evasive action!" and the like echoing.
Anything else with your turn, tortle?
Tryll floats slowly back to the center of the group.
Cool. Calleigh is up.
Calleigh uses a wand on herself, granting her Mind Blank!

CRACK! 20ft behind Debonah and Miranda, the floor cracks open. A geyser of the superchilled water you've seen before erupts out, full of solid hunks of ice. You can feel the unnatural cold of it from here, as well as see it's starting to form into crude clubs, whips and bludgeons. It's also between you and falling back further, a fact you note as a spray of that water blasts over all of you.
Ref all.
Tryll is incorporeal. Calleigh has Improved Evasion.

Arrows fly freely, impaling less cautious riders and elementals, riddling as Debonah calls, "Push them! We can't survive if we drown under bodies!"
At the same time, a chill comes over Calleigh and...

Dana and Benyen hold, they're holding the line for when they charge in, ready to counter. ???2 doesn't do anything immediately visible, whatever it is. The Dead are up.
The Dead cautiously retreat, getting out of your immediate light of sight, falling back and putting distance between you, howling softly all the while. "Y-yeah, you fuckin' run!" Dana shouts.
Miranda.
"Elemental!" Miranda glances back, "Can you stop it, Tryll?"
Tryll takes a moment to examine said elemental!
Do you just mean visually or with some sort of analysis/magic, or are you fishing for a Knowledge check?
The latter, yes.

It looks like some sort of water elemental is using the super cold waters here as a base, giving it control over it and a great deal of power. Fire -may- work, and barring that sufficient force should, but it'll take a lot.

The flames hit the whirling elemental right on, scorching it - steam rising yet the water is still intact, still menacing even as hunks of it burn away.

Others will take 10 since you made it.
You hear a groan above and glance up. The ceiling is starting to groan downwards, cracks running all along it.
'That's not good.' Tryll remarks. 'The ceiling is collapsing.'
"Shiit!" Dana looks up, as...
The Dead (34) > Miranda (32) > Wyvern Riders (30) > Tyrll (29) > Calleigh (25) > Frigid Waters (22) > Debonah = Elementals (19) > Dana = Benyen (18) > ???2 (8)
Debonah and the elementals are up.
"Our position is untenable," Debonah says, "We need to retreat."
Meanwhile the elementals are staying back and...
Debonah's holding pending your reply.
'Looks like it. Someone grab Calleigh, please? She's an icicle right now.'
Debonah does so, grabbing her tight.
Dana calls, "We getting the fuck out of here or what?"
Those two are up, depends on reply.
'We retreat for now. We have what we ultimately came here for, who has the crystals. We can seek out this sage. If he doesn't have them, we can always come back with a very large amount of explosives.' Tryll says. 'Actually, they're keeping slaves. We're going to do that anyway.'
Dana and Benyen carefully call back then, "Will it work here?" Dana asks, tensely, eyes ahead.
'If not, then we know we have to fight our way out.' Tryll replies.
Dana and Benyen fall back to you and the ceiling rumbles again, louder, as this time The Dead continue to hang back.
Miranda hurries to you as well, "This is getting too tight," she agrees, looking up at the ceiling, cracks running along it.
Wyvern Riders are holding back. Go.
Tryll opens a portal back to Ysgard! Or tries to anyway.
To your surprise, nothing inhibits the portal at all.
"I'm not one to turn down an invitation," Miranda says, "Not when they seem content for us to get out of here."
'Convenient enough. Everybody in.'
Somehow, it all holds - until the moment the last of you is through, at which point there is a loud CRASH of ice a mere second after you are, crunching down hard as the portal flickers out, gone.
"Message received, lich," Debonah murmurs aloud, "Next time I'll be ready to answer it."
'Oh yes, we'll have to visit again. Maybe call in some fire elementals or something. They're almost as fond of explosions as Calleigh is.' Tryll gestures with a face tendril at Calleigh, who is doing her very best impression of an icicle.
"So...now what?" Dana asks, arms crossed.
'Break time. Regroup tomorrow. I've used half of my reserves on this trip, and I was getting concerned once I had. Need to rest and do some scrying on the sage.' Tryll says. 'Also, we'll need to let Calleigh defrost overnight. Ysgard is good for that.'

'Benyen. You're throbbing at me. It's a bit awkward.'
Dana blinks at that while Benyen says, "I feel stronger," he says, simply.
"It happens around us," Dana says, "Good to know that shit's working for you, too."
Miranda exhales, "Let's go home and we can talk about it there over dinner."
Anything to add here?
Nope!
