(iii-iv) being a nested conflict to resolve.2/6 Successes/0 Failures/0 Hard DC Available/2 Secondary Skills Available/Primary Skill Training exhausted; Diplomacy, Nature[HR][/HR]There is an unnatural cold here that only Sariel can feel.  His wintry heritage wells up inside of him, far flung memories from a childhood where his father would take his children on expedition outside of The Vale of the Long Night; "remember, there are forces within you that wish to succumb to this; the slumber of the deep cold."  He picks up a handful of snow and lets the accumulated flakes separate and disappear on the wind.  "Never let it.  Always be vigilant," he says without looking at the handful of children he has taken on this pilgrimage.Starn gently questions a collection of children who seem particularly skittish while Leif prowls like a wolf on the hunt.  Like Sariel, the Snowfang shifter is drawn to the cold...whether that is the body of his people, their secret heart, or Leif's own, unique, internal struggles is a mystery to be learned through time.  Leif has something.  There is a voice on the wind.  It is dark.  It is calling.  The tongue is ancient.  The voice is cruel...seductive.  Lief's ear perks suddenly?  Does he hear it?  The horse under the rider rears.  He controls it but barely.  An ill wind blows across The Market Green.  Only the boughs of the secluded tree Leif stares at move; crackling strangely.It is more cold now than ever.[HR][/HR]MEDIUM DC (failure here by anyone using Arcana costs them HP worth 1 x Healing Surge worth of cold damage that they'll carry into combat here if it comes to it...if its a mundane skill and a failure, the group takes -2 penalty forward to Primary Skill Check)</blockquote>
