[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 9261135, member: 20323"] [SIZE=5]The Way Back / The First Blizzard[/SIZE] [MEDIA=youtube]WGmmjZe5BMc[/MEDIA] GM POST With the decision cemented to descend back to your base camp, leaving the mystery of the giant's ice door to rest for another time, you manage – with Logrim's guidance – to craft a makeshift litter for the corpse of the tiefling Astrix. With the fading light of the aurora offering only silhouettes in the darkness below, Aric's flame near the front and Alma's soft red light in the rear, you make your way down from Kelvin's Cairn. Back past the frozen cave where you faced the yetis and rescued Perilou, the halfling acolyte clutching her torn jacket around herself as the sole survivor of her ill-fated expedition. Back down the perilous fifty foot ice cliff, relying on a rope system devised by your guide Fieldwalker Corse to lower the corpse litter down. Back past where you found Garret frostbitten but alive, defending him from the crag cats. Back across the avalanche now tumbled snow at rest, the fractured unsalvageable remnants of the dog sled scattered among the eerily silent snow drifts. Back to where you found the sled dogs Kodiak, Mercy, Nomad, Sesi, and Siku. Surely they will be waiting for you back at the basecamp along with Garett and Keegan... After an hour (it's about 1:30 am), you spot the sled dogs hunkered down outside three tents, one which flickers with lantern light. A dog's whine pierces the night followed by a questioning bark, then two excited barks. Aric recognizes the rough husky sound of the sled dog Boy. The chill cuts deep and your legs are weary from descending the rough terrain while hauling the duergar treasure chest & the corpse, but you are safe. For now.
