Two strangers at the bar buy a couple of rounds for the bar, as the alcohol kicks in they ger friendlier and friendlier. Some of the locals already know each other, some closer than others, but after a few hours they are all telling stories and having a laugh. The mood would soon change when a badly hurt dwarf walks through the door and collapses on the floor, besides normal cuts and bruises he has some frostbite. The party and others rush in to help, they learn he is a guard with a wedding party that was attacked along the road to Zimar before he passes out. Ionnia Teppen a counselor for Heldren asks the characters to help get him to the temple.
At the temple the dwarf is given healing, and able to answer questions. The group learns that he is Yeln Oerstag, a guard for a wedding party that was traveling back home because Lady Argentea turned the groom down. The Lady was taken by the bandits, and Ice fey creatures into the woods, he tried to follow but it was brutally cold, and had to turn back. The group is asked by Ionna if they know anyone that wants to save Lady Argentea, they ask if the Lady is rich, Yuln says yes, and they volunteer.
The road less traveled: The party is asked to meet in the morning at the town hall, meanwhile Ionna put together supplies for the group to venture into the woods in a cold environment. The PC’s first go the ambush site where the ladies carriages were attacked, there were dead bodies of handmaidens, and grooms men along with some guards, and the guard captain that was frozen in ice. The party finds some valuables strewn about, and hears something moving in one of the carriages, Walker, and Zaur climb on top of the carriage, and after a couple of spears try to hit them through the windows, they find themselves in a battle with some zombies, that were a couple of the groomsmen. There turns out to be four zombies, as the Walker and Zuar, along with Ozzy battles them on top, Gutrender, Juno, Anakis, Legifer and Jaromir battle the ones in the carriage, The party took some hits, but were victorious in the end. They found some of Lady Argentea’s jewelry in a box in the carriage, and a nice sword on the guard captain, but it was time to continue the rescue.
The Snows of summer: The party follows the trail through the snow; there is a single file path made by the bandits that is easy to follow. After an hour the party spots a chest of to the side of the trail, after some investigating they see its trapped if moved, Anakis disables the trap. Inside the chest is some of the guards gear, the party makes some use of it.
Traveling along the path again, they are attacked by some hiding Tatzlwyrm snake like dragon creatures, flanking the path. Walker was attacked, and grabbed by one of them, the other missed Zaur, the party moved in to save Walker. The creature while holding Walker breathed a poisonous gas at Walker, but it did not affect him. The party took out the creatures, and searched for its nest, following it tracks, it pays off as they find some treasure.
After another hour of following the bandit racks the party comes across a strange sight, dead crows pierced with small arrows hang from tree branches. The culprits that did this attack the party with tiny arrows as they hover around the trees 15’ above the ground. The party fires back hurting the leader badly, they then try a diplomacy/intimidate to scare off the Sprites, and after some consideration the leader of the Fey orders a retreat.
Back on the trail about an hour later the party runs into talking Elks, as the Elks approach Legifer detects evil on the Elks back. This leads to Legifer moving into attack, and the invisible Atomies flying off the elks to attack the party. The Atomies did little damage, and the party was able to eliminate them quickly, the elks left after their masters were slain. The party collected some treasure from the Atomie corpses. (4:30 pm)
