[QUOTE="Old Fezziwig, post: 2946732, member: 59"] The caster groans. "My mistress will treat me even worse if I help you. Of course, I'm not much for dying either." Pausing, he sighs and then says, "What is it that you want? I'll leave that to you to decide and figure out. Some advice, though. You want to be careful as you move into the north. No one from south of that canyon you call The Chasm — we have our spies, you understand — has been up this far north, never mind farther north, in two thousand years. Be careful who you anger. The troops of the other four generals are far less forgiving than we have been. Of course, the other four generals are far more powerful than the Frost Maiden now." He looks at the party carefully before continuing; he seems freed by the situation and the information comes out in a rush. "You're currently underneath one of the towers of the...Old North Line. It's our main fortification. You're in no shape at the current time to assault it -- we outnumber you by at least ten to one here -- and it's devoid of any historical documents. If you go into the tunnel ahead of me, watch for a branch on the left side. It should look obviously fake to anyone with any experience in the wild. Pull it. It'll open a side passage that will surface in a thicket in the foothills of the mountains. You'll be safer there. If you want to find out more about the other generals and their troops, head up into the mountains. At the summit of the tallest peak in the southern range, you'll find the Mahatkata. The Ice Queen thinks he's a fool. I know better. You'll want to meet him. You can also look in the scrublands north of the towers for Coldfoot Willie. He's a nasty one, but he has no love for the other four generals. Finally, if you want to just talk to the Ice Queen herself, clear out Delzomen's Forge and bring back what you find in the depths. She'll grant an audience to anyone that can do that. Anything else? Aside from the chest — do I look like I could open a chest right now?" [/QUOTE]
