(Back after a couple of days of holiday stuff)
To spice up the journey, I did my best to reconstruct the icy river hazard and "snobalds" (their spelling) from the video play-through. In case anyone else wants to try it, here's what I came up with:
____
Icy River: Not frozen, but fast-moving and extremely cold; about 15 ft. wide; 1d6 cold damage per round spent in the water. DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check to jump the river without falling in. DC 15 Strength save to avoid being swept downstream 20 ft./round. Noëlle cannot swim.
While the PCs are discussing how to cross the river, have them make DC 15 Perception checks to see if they notice the 6 snobalds sneaking up to surround them. If no one notices, the PCs are surprised. At the top of the third round of combat, 6 more snobalds form on the far side of the river and attack from range with missile-toe.
The players were extremely interested in the snobalds' hats and wanted to know what sort of hat each one was wearing.
P.S. Here's the correct link for part 3 of the YouTube play-through:
They did! Although I'm glad I only went with one awakened tree, because those things pack quite a wallop. (Then they all got distracted trying to steal the treasure under the tree before I could tell them Tannenbaum would just give it to them. Players...) They loved the little drummer sprite.

Oh, also! I came up with a couple of ways to handle the problem of players wanting to give Noëlle a pen and paper.
First solution: If no one in your party speaks Sylvan ... then Noëlle only speaks Sylvan, and anything she writes is also in that language.
Second solution: When Noëlle enters, the little drummer sprite steps forward and announces to all assembled that she has made a vow not to communicate in speech or writing until she has completed her task, which she will now tell everyone about.
