The Beach

Annsiton and Jaroth step out into the ocean and begin walking to the rock bound ship. The waves are cold beneath their feet but do no harm to them.
 

Bertrand

Bertrand and Rendee pull warm cloaks and gloves from their gear and follow the others. "Damn, we could really use those horses. Let's hurry."
 

Whistling jauntily, Finnian joins Anniston and Jaroth in the crossing to the ship.

"So what sort of beings do you think we'll find out here, Jaroth? Seems an aweful lot of work to bring this much cold to an entire area.
"You said you sensed two or three undead and something else far more sinister. Did your senses give you any more information to work with? Or do the conditions that are arising bring anything to mind?
"I will try to search my memory as well."


[sblock]Bardic Knowledge check to try to determine what sort of sinister planar creature would try to bring about this much cold in the area.

The Beach

Joined now by Bertrand and Company and the merry bard, the company is about 1/4 the way to the ship when Finnian begins asking questions of Jaroth.

For Finnian
[sblock]searching his almost endless bit and pieces of knowledge, Finnian seems to rember a passage about certain very powerful demons from the 898 plane of the Abyss which create a vast area of cold around their person. He seems to think they are one of the more powerful demonic types being some 15 to 20 hit dice in power but more of a warrior type than a magic using varity. The image that comes to mind is a large 6 armed creature wish blakish blue skin and electric blue hair weilding 4 long swords and 2 large hammers.[/sblock]
 

Jaroth

Jaroth tells Finnian everything he knows from his commune with nature spell. Jaroth will use a knowledge, the planes check to determine if he knows anything about the creature.

[ooc: I'm at work and don't have access to my character sheet to see what his total bonus is to the roll, so I'll rely on you to make the roll :) ]
 

Vadric follows along behind his companions, chanting the Mantra of St. Hieroneous. Warsong hangs loosely in its scabbard, and Vadric mentally runs through his current spells and their potential uses in the coming struggle.

As he walks across the waves, the cleric begins casting his long-term protective magics, warding himself and his companions as best he can.

The Beach

Assembled together once again the party reaches within 50 feet of the ship before they begin to encounter solid ice in small patches. The sounds from the horses can still be heard.

For Jaroth
[sblock]searching his memory of abyssal creatures...Jaroth comes up with a name of something that may be causing it. The ICEBlight is rumored to be one of the more powerful martial demons often used as personal guards for major demon princes. They create an aura of extreme cold around them but that is basically the limit of their magical ability. They are however exceedingly tough in cobat as they have six arms and can use them all at the same time. A few have been even known to be cabable of weilding wands in a few of their arms.[/sblock]
 

Jaroth

In the middle of his explanation, Jaroth starts, "ah! yes, of course. It's an Ice Blight."

"But they are generally used as personal bodyguards to powerful Demon Princes--"

Jaroth stops in his tracks.

"Vadric, do you have the miracle of True Sight?" He asks Vadric.
 

Vadric nods at Jaroth's words. "I do possess the skill to channel the power of the Light in such a way, but such a blessing does not last for long. What is it that you suspect?"
