Aerith nods and jumps through a portal away from the beast, then once he's safe he shoots the beast with a blast of dark energy, hoping to get some damage in.

"Again!" shouted Vahn as more aetherial bells sung their strange tune.

Even beaten and battered into a corner, he dare not attempt to strike it directly.

Aerith nods and shoots... again, this time hoping he can actually do some damage.

And if damage is what he wanted, then if it's as if the gods themselves set aside whatever they were doing to make it so. Aerith's ring sucks in light around it as he charges up a ball of shadow. The troll looks at aerith with mortal fear in its eyes, knowing the wizard is about to strike it down hard. It tries to charge at the mage, but every step is blocked by The Curse of Skeletal Caltrops. It tries to outmanouver them, but it's hard when it's Dazed by Lightning and Paralyzed. it's Pushing through the pain already trying desperately to do anything to to save itself. In one last ditch effort to cling to life the troll rips a rock out of the ground to use as a makeshift shield, but fate was not on its side as the curse of Arcane Frailty made it slow to do so, the rock being lifted just AFTER the troll was pelted in the face by a blast of shadow, collapsing to the ground with [boost:] a face no more.

Aerith breathes a sigh of relief, dismissing his many spells as he walks over to the beast, the dark smoke dispersing to reveal a clean skull, then looks to the others and asks. "I wonder if this troll would make a good bodyguard for us?"

[Gambitt]

Soon after defeating the ruler of the marsh, the dense fog that had made it difficult to navigate slowly dissipated as if it were somehow related to the existence of the monster. The way forward to the Tundra now clear, everyone advances without any difficulty.

Upon leaving the tree line you find yourself standing on a precipice overlooking the Phrygian Tundra. Ice cold wind buffets you as you look into the distance and see the solitary Tower of Phrygia seemingly standing higher than even the mountain peaks behind it.

"There it is... we finally made it." Aerith says, wrapping his coat around himself tighter. The books did say it'd be cold but its been a long time since he felt it this much. "It's so high up..."

"Indeed.." Vahn looked in awe at the grand spire that arose as if to meet the Heavens.

"Shall we?; unless either of you require a moment of rest?;.." truth be told, even this weathered pilgrim felt the wear of their walk. And yet beholding their destination had reinvigorated him, despite the distance that still separated them from their intended goal.

"I'm fine too, we can rest when we get there if we need to." aerith says as his eyes lock on the tower and he starts foward. "I wonder what's in there. Obviously there's sigils at the entrance but there's gotta be something good inside for us to go all this way. Maybe a grimoire or some artifacts?"

[Gambitt]

No matter which way you look, the descent from the precipice you're on is quite steep. Some sure footing or other means will be required to make the descent into the tundra region.
It also feels as if the wind is getting stronger
Overcome Athletics +3 to descend safely.

The portal allows everyone to bypass this initial obstacle unhindered and even go slightly beyond that, saving additional time. The change in temperature was more drastic than expected, with snow now drifting past everyone from the direction of the tower.
You emerged in a large open expanse of land, some deer-like creatures scattered at your sudden appearance and an arrow suddenly whizzed past, missing its intended mark.

Seeing the arrow fly by Olenna would quickly grab the hilt of her blade and crouch down lower to the ground. " Someone's up there. We need to move quickly!"
