Nymestra - dragonborn inkeeper at the Wet Trout

Scython - tiefling leader of bandits in

In Bremen, fishers are being terrorized by a monster that lives in Maer Dualdon. Strange that none of the other towns on that lake have been harangued by the monster. Also great irony the monsters bringing in the fishermen!

In Good Mead, the town speaker was recently killed by a nine-foot-tall giant. Rumor has it the giant stole a shipment of honey mead, without which a handful of taverns in Ten-Towns might go dry! Might even need to change the name of the town, to my way of thinking.

In Targos, a band of adventurers is planning an expedition up the side of Kelvin’s Cairn, hoping to find Oyaminartok, a goliath lycanthrope who can transform into a polar bear. If you hurry, you might be able to join the expedition! Might be a bit of a bear, though.

Combat! Attacking! Things! Panic!!!

"Ohnoohnoohnoohno! Uh! Uh! Uh! F~fire~uhhhhhhh... FOREBOLT!” Her hand pops out of her blanket mantle, flames hovering around her hand that coalesce into a small pointed cone. That cone then shoots forward to the not sleeping harpy(?).

SithShrink · December 15, 2023

The first harpy catches the full force of the sleep spell on her upsweep. While not fully asleep, she becomes extremely woozy, unable to fly well, running into a giant icicle. A swift strike by Chut ends her wild flight with a grim finality of blood and feathers. The second harpy swoops down to attack, deslpite the quick finish of her companion. A flurry of magic and weapons adds to the blood and bodies littering the ice. Yet somehow, despite their fearsome reputation, the harpies harmed none of you.

The moment of excitement leaves you with three options. Climb the northern, southern, or central frozen wall, all covered with hand and footholds, or follow the footprints into the space in the extreme south where a stream once exited the cliff.

Chut listens to the others debate the next course of action. He knows that he's the guide, but he wants to make sure everyone is on board with the plan, because either of the options have risks.

"I would have agreed with Tulik, but with the handholds and steps here in the cliffs, we might be better off getting up high now, rather than being trapped somewhere with enemies above us. I vote we go up here while we can, perhaps at the southern section of the wall so maybe we can monitor the tracks from above, but let's all agree."

Jinabi

Jinabi scratches his bearded chin in thought. 'If time is of the essence, and we find some of the anglers from following the footprints, to be in conditions needing attention, we might just be big enough of a group to risk walking up the stream?'

He shivers and draws the thick clothing closer around him. 'Especially with such weather, we are not sure how long they may last.'

Iolanthe takes stock of the harpy corpses. The fight had begun and was over in the blink of an eye, before she even knew what was going on.

“Whew!”

Once they begin asking about which of the paths they ought to take, Iolanthe says, “This is a bit of conundrum. On the one hand, going the southern route lets Liene enter without much issue, but as you’ve all brought up, that puts us on the low ground where hidden enemies can attack us from above. Hmm . . . Perhaps we could help Liene climb to the higher ledge.”

She sits on a nearby rock and pulls a set of crampons out of her bag and attaches them to her shoes whilst putting her snowshoes back into her bag. “I—me and anyone else with some crampons—can clamber up there and attach some ropes, and we can help haul her up,” she says. “That’ll let us keep the high ground—or at the very least, be on the same level as any potential enemies. If we find nothing else in there but the missing fishermen, we can always go down and escort them out—or if worse comes to worst, carry out their bodies.” She turns to the centaur and asks, “Liene, is that beneath your dignity? I certainly don’t mean to demean. I feel like we probably have time enough to wait for you to climb if that’s what it takes. Dropping ropes down can’t hurt, even if we don’t haul you up, you can grab on and keep from slipping.”

She looks up at the options and says, “Personally, I’d prefer that north-route, but the central cave up there might be more conducive to our progress . . .”

"It is most kind of you to offer," Liene replies to Io, remembering that two-legs appreciate this kind of courtesy, "but I think the real question is, can you all haul my weight for however many feet we need to climb? I weigh 716 pounds, and I am less concerned about my dignity than I am about what might happen to me if I am dropped." She shoots a nervous glance up the cliff.

“My words,” | ‘My thoughts,’ | My actions

After studying the climb for a few minutes longer and walking back and forth a couple of times, Liene finally said, "You know, I think I can climb up by myself. It's maybe 30 feet up at the most. I'm still likely to be the slowest, but why don't you let me try a few steps, and we can make a decision from there?"

She then carefully pressed a hoof onto a foothold and made sure it would hold her weight, using her hands to help balance herself. It wasn't the most graceful of movements, but after four or five steps, she did start to get the hang of it. "I think I can do this," she finally called. "Climb up or follow the footprints?" She held her position, prepared to jump down if the others wanted to keep following the footprints. She had no intention of going back down the way she'd come up, not when she couldn't see where to place her hooves.

Eyes of Night

Liene can see through the deepest gloom. She has darkvision out to a range of 300 feet. In that radius, she can see in dim light as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. (1 use per long rest)

As an action, she can magically share the darkvision of this feature with willing creatures she can see within 10 feet of her, up to a number of creatures equal to her Wisdom modifier (minimum of one creature). The shared darkvision lasts for 1 hour. Once she shares it, she can’t do so again until she finishes a long rest, unless she expends a spell slot of any level to share it again.

Vigilant Blessing

As an action, Liene can give one creature she touches (including possibly herself) advantage on the next initiative roll the creature makes. This benefit ends immediately after the roll or if she uses this feature again.

Bonus Actions:

Charge Attack

If Liene moves at least 30 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a melee weapon attack on the same turn, she can immediately follow that attack with a bonus action, making one attack against the target with her hooves.

Spellcasting:

Liene is a 1st-level spellcaster. Her spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). She has the following cleric spells prepared:

Cantrips (3/3 slots): light, guidance, sacred flame
1st level (2/2 slots): cure wounds, guiding bolt
1st level domain spells (always prepared): faerie fire, sleep

Chut nods at Liene's acknowledgement that she can climb the footholds.

"Great. If you can make it up, let's take this southern one above the the footsteps. I'd rather be above them than below any danger."

He starts up after her, pointing out any tricky areas for those following behind him.

Notes

Nymestra - dragonborn inkeeper at the Wet Trout

Scython - tiefling leader of bandits in

In Bremen, fishers are being terrorized by a monster that lives in Maer Dualdon. Strange that none of the other towns on that lake have been harangued by the monster. Also great irony the monsters bringing in the fishermen!

In Good Mead, the town speaker was recently killed by a nine-foot-tall giant. Rumor has it the giant stole a shipment of honey mead, without which a handful of taverns in Ten-Towns might go dry! Might even need to change the name of the town, to my way of thinking.

In Targos, a band of adventurers is planning an expedition up the side of Kelvin’s Cairn, hoping to find Oyaminartok, a goliath lycanthrope who can transform into a polar bear. If you hurry, you might be able to join the expedition! Might be a bit of a bear, though.
