Man, enworld's being slow right now.

You continue down the path Larinza selected for half an hour. The way is easy now: it makes very few turnings, but continues straight and clear. Nonetheless it is still bitterly cold, and Murphy and Janus both find themselves wracked by uncontrollable shivers and numbness.
After half an hour you emerge from the trees again - into the field you just left. Even the forked tree is the same.
You are about to turn around and try another trail, but Murphy is frowning at the tree. It's a mirror image of the one that marked the other end of the trail. If you had really gotten turned around and returned, the tree would be the same - you would just be facing in a different direction.
As Murphy stares out over the field, he begins to notice other discrepencies. The snow lies unevenly, humped up into large mounds. Last time you were here, it was unbroken and flat. The more he stares at the mounds, the more they seem to loom - not just snowbanks, hills! Between the hills he catches a gleam of light reflecting off ice - some kind of frozen pool or river. That wasn't there before!
With one final horrendous screech, the wind whips past and dies down. The swirling wall of snow settles to the ground, leaving the details of the landscape visible to all. You've come out of the forest and the unnatural storm, and are looking over a plain of rolling, snow-covered hills. On the horizon you can clearly see the icy spire that you glimpsed before. You should just be able to reach it before night falls.

8 successes / 1 failure - challenge complete!
Final Endurance rolls: Everyone passes except Janus and Murphy.
By my count, in this challenge Shorrin and Janus have each lost 1 healing surge during the challenge, Balth has lost 2, and Murphy has lost 3 (!). That leaves the total surges left as:
Balth 4
Shorrin 10
Murphy 5
Larinza 3
Janus 3
Does that seem right?
