[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6677832, member: 6696971"] The cold, the wind, the snow, and the twilight gloom authored by the sun-obscuring clouds makes for a miserable, treacherous trek up the otherwise hospitable trail. But an hour into your efforts up the winding trail, that "otherwise hospitable trail" ends abruptly. When the earlier avalanches were triggered, it must have loosed massive snow, rock, and ice-deposits all over the mountain. Before you lies a similar hazard that you left at the pass into this highland realm at the beginning of your journey. Huge, towering chunks of the frozen mountain render the way forward a possibility only for the most committed, the most proficient climbers...and then only those of a reckless disposition. A 60 foot vertical ascent of shifting ice, snow and earth. But the mountains shaking revealed the same as it obscured. Not far from where the trail ends, an ancient cavern, walls of hewn ice, greets the open sky for the first time in perhaps centuries. Rather than downward into the bowels, its path pitches upward toward the peak of the mountain...and out of the freezing, oppressive cold... EDIT - Oh forgot to include the below move. Roll it at the beginning of the encounter with the Blood Queen: [sblock]When you [B]send an urgent missive to Averandox about the Far Realm apocalypse about to come down upon his domain[/B], roll + 1. On a: 10+ he shows up and in time 7-9 he shows up but a bit late 6- he is angered by your impudence and seeks retribution at a later date...should you survive the encounter with the Blood Queen of course![/sblock] [/QUOTE]
