10/11/22 - Session 80

by Sous Lamorak

* We save the kid, Aerix, from the Preservation test and are warped back to the hall
* Southeast: Isolation - (Entered third) Transported to a full camp where warriors with tiger tattoos are sharpening weapons. Seeing us, they stand and motion for us to follow them to another tent. Inside a queen of some kind says that Auril has blessed them because we are “sent” to guard their camp while they raid the Elk Tribe’s camp. We sit for six days but everyone who fails their survival vanishes into the blackness one by one only to be found by the Tiger tribe and brought back to camp.
* Northeast: Endurance - (Entered Fourth) Transported to a raging snowstorm where a nomadic tribe is taking down their camp. King Gerud introduces himself and explains they are leaving to stay close to a reindeer herd they follow. We follow with them and endure a smattering of exhaustion effects.
 
Outside of the treasure room, we find four tablets carved in common
* Cruelty: "Compassion makes you vulnerable. Let cruelty be the knife that keeps your enemies at bay."
* Endurance: "Exist as long as you can, by whatever means you can. Only by enduring can you outlast your enemies."
* Isolation: "In solitude you can understand and harness your full potential. Depending on others makes you weak.”
* Preservation: "Every flake of snow is unique, and that which is unique must be preserved."
 
* Cloak enters the room and finds the Codicil of White that Vellynne Harpell excitedly takes it from Cloak.
* She says the poem in the book is the key to unlocking the ancient Lost City of Ythryn buried under the Sea of Moving Ice: we have found
 
The Rime of the Frostmaiden
We bow to She who wears the crown;

Let the world shiver with dread.

Clad in winter’s whitest gown,

Her snow enshrouds the dead.
Her fury sheds but frozen tears

as gray clouds issue forth.

Her wind across the wasteland shears,

 bringing blizzards from the north.
Ice-kissed flowers caught mid-bloom,

 beauty kept in all its grace.

Summer’s gone to its silent tomb,

stilling in Her cold embrace.
All the world in winter’s white,

 sheathed in sleet and ice.

Set upon never-ending night,

 She conjures paradise.
Behold Her everlasting rime,

see how it covers all;

Weep not for those She traps in time

 behind Her glacial wall.
Sovereign of summers lost,

general of winter’s war;

Long live the queen of cold and frost.

 May She reign forevermore.
 
* We step into the final room and hear in our heads we hear April’s voice, “Will you court death to receive my blessing?”
* Lohengrin is asked, says yes, and we can see that his eyes are now a piercing, icy blue. He cannot feel the cold.
* Cloak is asked too but becomes petrified and frozen!
* In their dark hour, Sous hears Twinkle call out, "Hey! Listen!"
