Session 101

Heroes (lvl 16): Vladimir, Dafaelyn, Amani, Regall, Gunnar, Varri

676 MR - Autumn

The heroes return to the Silverhead Mountains, brought back by Dafaelyn’s word of recall. But their homecoming is far from peaceful. Word quickly reaches them: Archdruid Huralla has been taken. The Ice Queen, furious over the death of her son Taliesin and the shattering of his illusions, has struck back in vengeance.

That night, Amani receives a chilling message through a dream spell. Her father warns her of the Queen’s wrath—and her demand. If the assassin of Taliesin is not delivered to her, there will be no mercy. But Varri, who struck the final blow, will not be sacrificed. The heroes steel themselves for the battle ahead.

They journey to Huralla’s sacred grove, where the surviving druids gather in quiet desperation. There, they learn the truth: ice creatures descended upon the grove, shattering its defenses and vanishing with the Archdruid. Faint remnants of frost magic still cling to the trees and stones.

Following this trail, the heroes find their way to an ancient druidic site, long abandoned and now twisted by foreign power. The sacred stones are choked with rime and unnatural cold. As the party dispels the corrupting magic, a terrible consequence is unleashed—three ice devils emerge, guardians left by the Ice Queen to punish any who interfere.

A fierce battle erupts under a frozen sky. Blades clash, magic roars, and in the end, the devils are destroyed. With their defeat, the sigil of imprisonment they guarded cracks apart.

Then, the true path is revealed.

The mosaic floor of the old druidic circle ripples like water before hardening into stone steps, spiraling down into darkness. Somewhere below, Huralla waits. The heroes descend, ready to face whatever the Ice Queen has prepared for them.
