"They're here!  They will break open the prison!  They must be stopped!"  The wind grows to a howl and begins whipping at your face as a vast creature of ice and snow coalesces near the jewel and plants itself between you and the frostling...[sblock=OOC]Map will come tonight.  In the meantime, you might as well roll initiative - I'll roll for anyone who hasn't posted by the time I have the map set up.[/sblock]</blockquote>
