Frozen Episode Two - Below Zero

General Summary

Part One

Deciding to head off the trouble, the siblings, headed off their troubles after another member of the caravan went missing. Further in the woods, following a trail, they found a pack of wolves. After they defeated the wolves, Gwain, Navi, and Precival fought icey sprites before heading into a cave. Inside, the group faced several ice sprite swarms before they found triumph on the far end of a beating.

Part Two

Navi assessed Precival's condition and determined that he'd likely end up with an infection given the nature of his wound and the poor state of her first aid kit but she was able to wake him up after he passed out from pain. Then, after Gwain searched some bodies and found coin, he also found Sha'vre. Gwain also looted some healing potions and fed Precival one. As an evident hag chased them out of the cave, it was sealed off and then disappeared. Exiting that structure then ripped Navi's very memories from her mind.
Winding their way though the mountain, feeling watched and weary, the caravan traveled for nine days. Finally they arrived at the valley of the Ten Trail. Come morning, an avalanche forced the group beneath the surface with the aid of awakened creatures. Having met Mother Tusk, the Precival introduce everyone and they all traveled beneath the surface to a cave of awakened creatures.
Outside, on a quest for Mother Tusk, the group rested at the edge of the mountains, warmed by the thermal cube of Gwain's crafting. After a day's travel, Navi suggested that the group forget their compians and move on, shirking their losses. She considered it a waste of time but Precival suggested that they needed to wait for their companions. Gwain suggested that they lean upon morals and aid the creatures. On first watch, a fox in a leather jacket told the group they would find Spretzil's tracks, an otter they were trying to locate, near The Redrun river.
Battling wolves, the party save six of the eleven otter and returned them to the cave.

Part Three

Rewarded for their work, the group slept the night there in the cave and awoke on the 19th Mirtul. They met an Elf named Longmire who was headed north and introduced themselves. Navi suggested the party leave but they decided to aid Mother Tusk one last time and tracked down some hunters in a forest near the Ten Trail and Redrun river.
In the forest, Navi nearly stepped into the owlbear trap and then freed a chwinga. She shood it and it shood back before it threw glittery dust at her. Later that dust helped her find a trap and she confused it for another problem she was having. At the log, a massive head throbbing wave attemped to invade Precival's min and it did infact assault Gwain and it took him to his knees. There after, Navi was able to see through her brothers with her vision.
Encountering the hunters, Precival negotiated and suggested a potential future alliance with the Wolf Tribe. He then suggested that they could hunt elsewere and suggested east when he heard Navi's voice suggest it to him, but he told his siblings it was his idea. Precival also suggested that messing with the awakened creatures could lead to a Fey curse. The leader, Shaktal, suggested that the seer of her tribe told her that she would meet Precival when he travels east of the Redwaters.
When the group departed they were given healing acorns and then they returned to the cave. On their journey back, another mind blast threw Gwain but not suggestion was given as to what was happening. When Navi freaked out about the situation, Precival saw an image of his sister with a tenticled face in his mind.
At the cave, the party gained a companion in the form of a Lynxal and they set out on their own accord with it along.
