[QUOTE="Gez, post: 1802380, member: 1328"] To the contrary, it's a very good one. They may also encounter remorhazes, or polar bears, neither of which are immune to cold. Honestly, if the ecology is not completely wacked up, they'll meet bears more often than frost worms. Read [i]The Heretic of Wyre[/i] again, thanks.
