* We see a tumbler lock with numbers written in giant on the two large metal prison doors
* We’re attacked by some very nasty ice and wind creatures but manage to survive
* In one of the cells, we discover Talia Ebonscale frozen in a block of ice
* In one of the cells we discover Thakin, Lohengrin’s long lost friend. Thakin reveals that Lohengrin didn’t actually blow up his friend. That was just another one of McGonnigaul’s lies.
* Thakin warns us about a 10 ft tall being with the head of an owl, horns of a ram, cloven hooves, fur of a wolf, and black talons. We realize it’s a form of Auril.
* Leaf volunteers to lead Thakin out of the castle and out to safety.
We go downstairs and meet a giant, elephant-sized walrus named Ukuma who we ask questions:
Basement Doors
* North door with the frost giant tomb has Dwarfish writing and decorated with carvings of two female frost giants holding great axes and Dwarvish writing that reads:
In ice and blood, our folk are born.
To our great queen, we raise our horn.
We'll fight and plunder in the morn.
To Vassavicken, we are sworn.
* South door: locked with defaced male frost giants with defaced faces with wolf, owl, and goat
Doors have snowflakes and a single word carved into them:
* Northeast: Endurance
* Northwest: Cruelty - (Entered first) Teleported to a camp in a blizzard where an armored man wearing bear armor who tells us they have run out of food and we must help decide on which elders to kill so they can cannibalize them.
* Southeast: Isolation
* Southwest: Preservation - (Second) Another camp but no blizzard or fires. Corpses fill the camp with vultures eating the dead. A child named Aerix tells us that raiders killed his camp.
