This week we have the party scaling a massive cliff through a rather mundane apparatus with the help of some rather interesting individuals, the ice dwellers. These nomads and tribal people make a living from the ice and trade with those who live in the deserts and arid dunes below. But will these ice dwellers be any good in a life or death moment when the commotion brings out something from the icy wall? Well we best get a move on with tonight’s content and this weeks adventure! So sit back, grab a coffee and let’s meet some ice dwellers!

The party had reached the edge of the Platara ranges. The steep cold stone surface was a stark comparison from the desert that they had travelled through that morning. However the shift in temperature wasn’t the thing that shocked them. The drow that stood there waiting for the platform to lower down was the most shocking appearance.
Both were female drow and despite their age difference, one much older and one appearing young, they both were dressed the same. Both were clad in thick furs and appeared as if they were heading back with a few backpacks filled with goods.
“Greetings travellers, do not mind us as we pose no threat. We are From the Jandari tribe. I am Hisha and this is Jardi” the older woman said as she gestured to each in turn. “We are traders primarily and are on our way back up the Ridge to return home.”
The younger looked towards them and at the platform as she constantly pulled on a sturdy rope that rose far into the sky. “The only way up and down is through a pulley system. There is a crossover point half way where we move to another platform but this one takes us there” Jardi responded.
“We have a few rules, sacred oaths to grant our god’s blessing that we try to obey when on the trek up. We go at a constant speed and we don’t make noise. It will take a full day to get up to the top including a stopover for a short rest.”
The party watched as the platform neared the base. It was certainly big enough for them all but a full day of silence and the slow ascent would be difficult to say the least.
Setting the scene for this weeks adventure as we move towards tomorrows Twist. A fun adventure ahead with some real danger if there is not careful. But surely they won’t go against the sacred oaths of strangers they just met… Don’t forget to come back each day this week to follow along and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
