Cold.... So Cold

We had an additional meeting where we met with more council members. These folks were much nicer and considerably more reasonable. They apologized for not being present at our previous meeting. We talked to them about our last expedition and it was overall a more enjoyable experience. I hope going forward more of our council meetings will be like this one.
 
I knew it! I freaking knew it! I asked about special clothing and we were told that everywhere we went we would be fine in our normal attire. But on our second trip out we ended up finding ourselves trapped someplace really flat where it's raining snow and frozen water. I'm glad that I finally passed remedial cantrips. This prestidigitation spell I learned was really helpful, I don't know why they don't start with it. Anyway, thanks to Mist's know-how and Ulfgar's construction experience allowed us to construct a basic structure to protect us from the weather. Nora and Mist gathered firewood while Ulfgar, Zeke, and I made final adjustments to the structure. After an uncomfortable night's rest, we set out the following morning to find someplace that would be a bit more comfortable. We discovered a hard lake, but there wasn't anyone living near it so we proceeded toward a valley Mist had spotted earlier. Hopefully, the locals will be friendly.

Mightily blown down by the freezing wind
she Is forced upon that, which the frost has rimmed
undefeated she Soon gathers her strength and will
Building a home That protects all, from death's cold chill
-------------------------------------------------
Noble girl with great magical might
doth Obtain what is needed while the wind does bite
she simply Rakes her fingers through the air
bringing fuel for All fires and warm blankets with care
-------------------------------------------------
Ultimate master of stone and ice
quite Limberly shaping the water so nice
into frozen Forms that are quite precise
 
Grinning he turns death into life
with A simple motion of his fingers, a twist of the knife
bringing a Resolute end, to winter's cold strife
-------------------------------------------------
Ziggurat of hope and eternal faith
he Ever lights the way through death's frozen wraith
sparking a Kindness that flows, through us all
so that we'll Eternally work together, through nature's brutal call
