Soot's Journal: Avalanche!

by Soot Isbjorn


19th of Hammer, 1512 DR
 
Triglio's General Store in Targos -- sold my snow shoes for 5 sp and a signal whistle, bought 10 flasks of oil for 1 gp. We sell the bloodstones for 300 gp, and buy 3 potions of healing for 125 gp. I give mine to Luna, Dyleth and Electra take the other two.
 
We travel with Bolt back to Brynshander with no problems! I rush back to Black Iron Blades to get my hammer. I get my hammer with the druidic focus built into the handle. I was so happy I swung it around widely until it was time for us to leave for the Kelvin's Cairn.
 
We encounter a man wearing dark clothes, with a bright white shining light emanating from beneath their hood. Cold Night Walker. Created by the naked lap people.
 
Eventually we reach the dwarven valley. Get recognized by a gnome.
 
We reach Kelvin's Cairn, find overturned cart with five dogs still harnessed up, the broken harness of Boy is still there. Doggies are whimpering. Under the sled are two small crates, one is broken and empty was probably rations, other is untouched, 12 things of rations. Cast Speak with Animals to talk to the dogs, they seemed nice. Distribute rations, tell Bolt's dogs to not leave until we get back, and I will give them rations if they stay.
 
We start climbing the mountain and encounter three mountains goats, but my spell was over! So Luna cast Speak with Animals as a ritual, and learned the goats are named Goat, Ghoat, and Goaht. She learned there are yetis out here, and that another human went up recently.
 
We leave the goats, and then encounter an avalanche. I easily evade it, but my friends are not as lucky. I summon Cinder to create a fiery teleportation to bring them closer, but it was not close enough. To my shock, Luna told them to leave and transformed into a Giant Badger and buried under the snow! Dyleth and Electra kept running, she was able to escape, but Dyleth and Cinder were not as lucky. I stand there shocked and scared for my sister and friend, but within a few moments, I see Badger Luna and Dyleth emerge from the snow! Cinder also melts his way out of the snow and flys back over to me.
 
I warm Luna up with the heat of Cinder, and after a bit she turns back to normal and tells me she will teach me how to do it too!
 
We find the Garrett in shambles up the mountain. I heal him. We need to save a Goliath named Mokingo who was determined to find a "Yemnartok", there is also a female halfling named Perilou who was a follower of Yondala the halfling god, there is also a tiefling girl named Astrix.
 
We hear a few rocks fall from above us, I am concerned there are Yetis afoot! Flying from the rocks above towards Luna and Electra are two Crag Cats!
