Tonight the party uncover something that sets their Drow travelling companions on edge, holes in the ice. not an uncommon thin in most places but the size and position of them are particularly unsettling. So before I give away too much about this weeks surprises let’s roll into tonight’s adventure!
Holes in the Ice
335WeHoITIc
As the party returned from the little hut, carved into the edge of the Platara ranges steep cliffside they wearily looked at the second platform and pulley. The younger Drow, Jardi, had gone off as she had seen something suspicious in the snow. Well that’s what they gathered as neither her nor Hisha had spoken a word since they had begun the ascent. They communicated with hand gestures and symbols primarily.
A few dozen minutes had passed and Hisha was looking distressed. She had pointed out the direction that she believed that Jardi had gone but was concerned about how long she was taking to return. As the party followed the track they noticed a darting figure coming back this way very quickly. Immediately they recognised Jardi.
As she got close she gestured for them to follow here, but for Hisha to stay. The next few hundred feet was slow going as the ledge was uneven and the fall, significant. But eventually she stopped in front of a cave entrance that was about five feet wide. Leaning in close she whispered.
“This isn’t normally here. We see these out on the ice but never on the wall and where they appear animals and people leave quickly.” she said, glancing at the sky as if she were to be struck by lightning. “Be alert and alarmed. These holes bring death.”
As she hurried back to Hisha the party noticed several inch deep claw marks into the frozen fragments of stone, the ice above and beyond appeared as though it had been carved through with expertise and ease. The height and constant chill wasn’t the only thing that was deadly on this mountain.
Thoughts
So I skip thoughts occasionally but this sets up nicely with a few options this week for the adventure, encounter and more. I believe its going to be relatively easily to work out what’s going on but let’s see what people think and if they can work it out form the limited information available.
Thanks for visiting tonight to get a look at this weeks twist and lead up to the adventure. To stay on top of this weeks adventure don’t forget to come back daily to see where we take it and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
