Game summary for September 20, 2016, Reign of Winter campaign, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: All Might (Human Warpriest played by Andrew Renfrow), Deska Starseeker (Half-Elf Druid played by Kaliegh Belda), Tiswichtt (Orc Witch played by Casey Scruggs), and Tulvur Xandersen (Dwarf Fighter played by Taylor Averdick). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The team came across a trail of hoofprints crossing their route. As they examined them, a great white stag appeared and began to speak with the team. The team was a bit surprised at the stag’s higher pitched voice. They talked for a while about why they were in the forest and the fey allegedly all around. After a while, Deska approached the stag which seemed to agitate it. Soon the animal was eating out of the druid’s hand and yet protesting the whole time. Deska realized something was not right. The stag’s behavior did not match what it was saying. She realized a fey was involved! A winter-touched atomie revealed itself when it attacked her. It used fey magic to shrink her spear to toothpick size. The team stormed in and tried to surround the faerie. It attacked with a rapier and tried unsuccessfully to shrink Deska. Tulvur stepped up and killed the nasty creature with Icebiter, the cold iron longsword they gained from Yuln.
The group traveled on to a frozen creek and discovered a snowman with a sign warning against trespassers. Tulvur fired two crossbow bolts into it with little effect. The team approached, and the snowman spoke! It again warned them to leave. Tiswichtt got closer and triggered an explosion of sound. It stunned the witch and caused two ice elementals to emerge from the water. They attacked the party viciously with their frigid touch. Tiswichtt recovered and hit one with chill touch. All Might moved in to try and flank, and Tulvur tried to slide across the ice into better position but plunged through! The team quickly put down the elementals and hauled their dwarven friend out of the water. He stripped as Deska built a fire and All Might began erecting the pavilion. Afterward the team used healing skills and spells to nurse injuries and settled in for the evening.
