The aura of cold the toads emit seems to be affecting the weep holes, and an idea sparks in his mind. Hmm, if their cold aura can block the magical missiles, maybe he can help by making more ice too. He reasons that casting Icy Touch on the other weep-holes might help to clog them up with ice. Worth a shot, he tells himself.  Might as well put all the cards on the table to make a death trap a bit less lethal.[SPOILER=Spell casting]Jack casts Icy Touch, a cantrip, which is a reskinned version of the 5e spell <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/2026-chill-touch" target="_blank">Chill Touch</a> and deals cold (not necrotic) damage. I'm skipping the rolls, assuming that Jack can keep throwing snowballs at the holes until he feels satisfied. Let me know if I should make rolls though.[/SPOILER]Shouting around the corner to the rest of the party, he calls out, "I’m going to try something. Watch this! I’m gonna have a snowball fight with those other holes and see if I can clog them up with ice." Jack raises his hands, invoking the chill of the Feywild, and casts Icy Touch on each of the two other holes that aren't covered by the ice toads' auras.  Frost spreads from his fingertips, forming iridescent snowballs that glimmer in the dim light.  He tosses a series of snowballs at the two holes until they seem to be blocked with ice and slush. "There, that might help," he remarks, taking a step back to admire his handiwork."I have no idea if that will do anything, though.  We should still create some fiery distractions. Aric, you set up a bonfire. Zeth, you'll launch a fire bolt. And I’ll keep a torch burning bright. Let’s give those traps something to chew on that isn’t us."  Jack pops his head around the corner once more, surveying the group, and pondering the next move. "So, who's ready to take a gamble, folks? You could rush over all at once, or take it one by one. You can even hop over my candlestick along the way, if you like," Jack giggles.</blockquote>
