You cannot seem to determine which direction is up! Your stomach lurches and you feel nauseous. Many horrible misshapen creatures swoop suddenly down and attack you!Until the PCs defeat the creatures, they suffer a -4 penalty to attacks and saving throws. In order to stand, a PC must roll under half his or her Constitution score. Alternately, a PC may elect to attack while prone, suffering an additional -2 penalty to attack and allowing the creature a +4 to attack.The attacking creatures are mischiefs. They have already used their mirror image ability, so they seem to be 16 creatures attacking instead of five.Mischief, snow (5): INT: Very; AL: CN; AC: 7; MV: 6, Fl 12; HD: 2+2; HP: 18,16,14,13,13; THAC0: 19; #AT:4 (claw, claw, bite tail); DMG: 1d4/1d4/1d4/1d6; SA: cold touch, innate spells; SD: mirror image; SZ: S; ML: 13.Snow mischiefs are small, winged creatures from the para-elemental plane of ice. Loki brought the mischiefs here and asked them to "have-fun" with the mortals. The creatures attack the PCs, the jarl and Orast. They fight with reckless abandon, for when they drop to zero hit points, they are sent back to the para-elemental plane of ice. They use their vertigo ability (described in the text above) to disorient the characters and mirror image to confuse them. Their cold touch drains one point of Constitution each time they hit with a claw attack. The effect lasts one turn per successful claw hit, assuming that measures are taken to warm the affected victim. If the victim's Constitution reaches zero, he falls unconscious for a turn and awakes weak and unable to move until his Constitution reaches half of its original score. At that point, the victim can begin to move around again.From "Runefire: Father Winter's Curse" by Steve Theis, Ed Wilson, Gary Watkins, and Walter Baas; Polyhedron #116</blockquote>
