Game summary for November 22, 2016, Reign of Winter campaign, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Deska Starseeker (Half-Elf Druid played by Kaliegh Belda), Kenwrec Battleglaive (Dwarf Slayer played by Peyton Harmon), Magnus Erlingsson (Human Cleric played by Chris Harmon), and Tulvur Xandersen (Dwarf Fighter played by Taylor Averdick). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The team proceeded down the trail and found a warning written in the snow stating, “Turn back before the winter devours you.” The team ignored it, and it exploded in a blast of frigid cold harming much of the party and killing a horse and a pony.
The team pressed on and ran afoul the injured giant weasel that tore into the party. It attached itself to Magnus and ripped his flesh open, spraying crimson blood across the snow. The team was able to defeat the animal and save Magnus, but he was badly injured. He used the powers granted him by Gorum to heal injuries, and the team began setting up their pavilion to rest. Kenwrec and Tulvur headed back the way they came to investigate the exploded snowbank a bit further. Meanwhile, some elemental creatures of winter attacked Magnus, Deska, and their companion, Ten-Penny Tacey. Magnus again took a beating while Ten-Penny managed a critical sneak attack to drop one of the creatures. A charge from Magnus killed the other. Finally, the rest of the team returned, and they made camp.
The next morning they awoke to find Deska and Magnus ill with chillbane shakes! Using guidance, they were able to treat one another and nurse themselves back to health over a couple of days. They then set out and found what they believed to be the winter portal surrounded by igloos. Tulvur crept into the first igloo and plunged 20 feet to the bottom of an icy pit!
