Soot's Journal: Melting the Tunnel

by Soot Isbjorn

2nd of Alturiak, 1512 DR

I regret to inform you once again that I accidently burned another section of my journal with my fire magic... I am sure that future generations of chieftains will no doubt be greatly saddened by this lose of part of the account of my trials. But technically, I do still remember what happened, so to summarize: I entered the greatest frenzy of anger I have yet endured, but the spirits of our ancestors where with me! Flaming apparitions of past chieftains aided me in the fight, and the group was successful in slaying Saxon! However, despite searching the whole tower, we found no way to fix the petrification of poor Madu.

After all that searching, we decided to take a quick rest and collect our thoughts to make a plan. Inevitably, we ended up realizing that we would need to get Madu's heavy stone body out of this tower somehow. Electra and I went to the edge of the tower and began hurling fire at the icy slide tunnel that we used to enter the tower. Sadly, we did not make a lot of progress with out small fires, so Electra told us that she was going to try to use a new fire spell she had been learning. Everyone stepped back, except for me of course, and Electra let her spell rip. It was absolutely beautiful. The spell created a massive 40ft wide fireball, its heat blasting past me and blowing my fur back. I was absolutely stunned! Electra just became way cooler in my book!

Electra and I kept working on the tunnel until we heard large footsteps above. I summoned Aiviq in the form of a snowy owl and sent him up to investigate. While seeing through his eyes, I learned that there was a Snowy Owlbear walking around way above us! We all discussed what to do, I wanted to go up and talk to him, but nooooo, Luna said that I shouldn't be the one! Even though I was the only one with the magic prepared. Sadly, we bickered for too long and the Owlbear left... What an unfortunate missed opportunity!

With the Owlbear gone, we continued to burn our way through the ice, and it took a very long time. But, eventually we melted our way all the way to the top! With that, Electra took Madu's body and teleported to the top of the tunnel and through down a rope to the rest of us! Finally, after a quick climb, we all emerged into the icy landscape outside of Saxon's tower.

Once we emerged outside, Luna pulled out the amulet given to here a while ago and used it to summon the bears we met about two weeks ago! After about 10 minutes they managed to find us, and we left immediately for the Brynshander! It will be a long journey, about 2-3 days, so I will write once we arrive, assuming nothing interesting happens at least.

Well, it was an uneventful journey... but we arrived in the Brynshander! Finally in town, we say farewell to the bears and head with Madu's body to the Church of Lathander, as known as the House of the Morning Lord. We met with the lead priest of the church and made a deal with him to get Madu unpetrified, because the Scroll of Greater Restoration we would need costs over 1000gp... I gave the church all my gems, and we agreed that we would immediately go to help Copper with the Haunted House (which is lucky, because we were going there anyway!). With that, the priest got the scroll and successfully unpetrified Madu!

What great news after a long week of hard days. Though I lost some money, I at least got back one of my best friends. And, now we get to go to the haunted house!
