(1)Massive snow-drenched pines see their needles neatly weighed down by ice like tendrils.  The land rises up abruptly before them, white like bone.  Where stone protrudes its wintry sheathe, it is ragged and chipped.Eternal twilight settles on this land and a moon, out of sight somewhere beyond the obscuring mount before them, clothes the dark silhouettes of everything not pitch dark in a shimmering blue-silver.  Only Arunny can see much immediately following the transit.And see she does.  Just above them, perhaps 10 meters distant, a gown & armor-clad Eladrin female glowers at them astride a massive, white Runebear.  She points her enchanted twinblade slowly and deliberately as she and Arunny make eye contact (2).  No words are spoken.  Though only she is seen, the soft sound of bowstrings being drawn are registered over the wind's moan.[HR][/HR](1) MEDIUM DC either Group Endurance check or some other kind of move to abate the sudden, supernatural freeze that seems to seep into the very heart and soul of each member of this fellowship.  Failure = each participant takes 1/8 HP cold (resistance applies) damage (half a surge) that they'll carry forward into the first combat they encounter.(2)  MEDIUM DC.  Clearly the eladrin will accept no other "first contact" than that of Arunny.  What does she do?  If this goes south, we're escalating to combat (which you can drawn down with a nested SC if you wish).</blockquote>
