Zeoll says that he is looking forward to returning to a place where the water is liquid, not solid. He misses the shore and the ocean.

The byplay goes over Tishe's head. Figuratively.
She waits for the others to go through and then goes to the entrance of the portal and opens the egg bag, revealing the Kollju Iss'Wurm lava-hot jam.
DM Dan K - To Seal the Breech Monday January 23rd, 2017 7:05:09 PM
Zeoll talks to Mjolka'Frodr about the eggs and she does express an interest in her own cryptic way. Tishe's concern for how to carry the gland, does have an Ice Peak solution. The crew of the LionFish are handed a small coffer. It is made from the mandibles of the Wyrm and the inside of the box is lined with the very shells of the eggs of the creature. It is exquisite in its workmanship and style. "A gift to our new friends of the northern waters." Kayra says. "It cannot contain the heat indefinately, but it will easily last your journey to the portal.
The party is also gifted with 2 bottles of Ice Wine Each. Dra'Gul does tell you that "The wine will lose some of its greater potency, unless stored below the freezing point of a salt brine solution. But is will still taste just as good as it does today"
Mjolka'Frodr says, she will put in a good word on the party's behalf as payment for the eggs. She will not elaborate to whom that word will go.
The party sets off in the company of a hunting pack that Kayra assigns to you. Ice Peak sends hunters out in all directions all the time and so it is not out of anyone's way.
Three days. Just Three days until the men and women of Bonetown will be home and free of the cold lands of the Ice Vein. There might have never been a longer journey in all of lives, or a longer 3 days at all. Nothing unusual marks your passage, Nothing extraordinary happens or is seen. Only endless stretches of snow and ice covered land of blinding brilliance, followed by deep and silent nights of endless star covered skies.
The three days does, though at last, come to an end, The group stands before the portal, vibrant and pulsing, it is like a wound in the very air. You can feel the cold roll past you, seeking this newest victim and what lies beyond. The hunters nod to you in farewell and stay back a few hundred feet as you approach.

Clyde looks around at his companions to see if anyone was to go in first. Terser didn't seem to have any qualms about stepping right in, and Clyde follows through.
Rill (MarkB) HP 93/93 - AC 23/13/21 CMD 21 Monday January 23rd, 2017 9:24:18 PM
Rill thanks Dra'Gul for the wine and (with his permission) asks Gargu'ls blessing for health and long life on him and his household. With a glance at Bralin, he adds, "oh, and thanks for the dwarf. I've learned they come in handy."
Once we get to our portal, "Well here we are. I don't know about you guys, but I am so done with this cold. This was a fun adventure, and now we can all say we've trekked across the Ice Vein and survived."
He looks at the warm thing from that Ice Worm in it's new box. "I guess whoever's carrying that thing should go last. Tishe should have the honor - afterall, she did figure out a way to carry it and those eggs we had. I hope ol' Mocha Frappe has good breakfast out of the deal."
And with that he steps through.

Reggie looks at the portal then to the group.
"So what do we do now?"
"Don't we have to do something with that Wyrm thingies we got? should we like throw them at the portal? should we go through it first then throw them at the portal?" She asks kind of anxious to get back to bonetown and be done with this cold stuff.
Of course the Ice Wine made the trip much more worth it.
Bralin Monday January 23rd, 2017 10:54:04 PM
Bralin snorts at 'Thanks for the dwarf', and gives Rill a look.
In fact, this dwarf is most eager to walk through the rift, and immediately follows Rill through.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC26; HP62) Tuesday January 24th, 2017 3:53:20 PM
Having no desire to be cold, Zeoll uses the gift of wine on the trip to the gate. He wonders what the witch elder was talking about.
Zeoll says a prayer to the Silver Lady, to bring them home out of this cold land safely.
He urges Tishe to walk backwards through the gate, holding the firey organ out in front of her so that it will be the last thing through.
"But let's trry to keep that box. It is lovely, and eitherr maybe we can sell it or enchant it and keep it as a memento."
Then he takes one final look at Ice Vein, maybe for the last time in his life, and then hops back to Pearl Island and Bonetown, hoping it all works out right.

Terser plows through one of his bottles on the way to the rift, but decides to save the second to share with the brothers back home in Bonetown.
The empty bottle he saves to toss into the sea stuffed with a note on parchment, to see what may come of it.

Tishe' agrees with Zeoll and makes sure she walks backwards through the gate with the gland to ensure she is on the correct side of the gate when it closes.

Clyde shrugs to himself as he ponders how the organ was supposed to close the gate. Zeoll's plan seemed as good as any.
DM Dan K - Home Tuesday January 24th, 2017 8:36:48 PM
With little fan fare and more than a touch of eagerness, the crew of the Lionfish step through the breech. Tishe is last and walks backwards with the box and fire gland being the very last thing to cross. the crew appears right where they left, a house main room covered in frost and ice. The frozen wizard standing in the center of the room. As Tishe steps through, the opening to Ice Vein simply winks from existence. The gland looses all semblance of heat and now resembles more a cow's liver than the near molten core of the great Iss worm the crew did battle with. The box, appears to have survived the crossing unharmed. The entrance the group has blasted through the covering of ice on their way in has been completely closed over. Now almost a foot thick, but still no problem for the likes of Terser, Reggie and Bralin to break through.
As the ice shatters before you, several well armed and now very alert men and women of the Lionfish take a moment to register who is coming through and lower an array of weaponry. Tommie, Joansie, Sammy and Tula break into grins and the sharp eyes of the party don't miss the small bag of coins Tula collects from Sammy and Tommy. "Welcome home Captain." Tula says with a grin and then adds wrly, " You look like crap."
Bralin Tuesday January 24th, 2017 9:46:53 PM
Bralin passes through the rift, and finds himself in a house encased in ice.
Once he understands where the 'entryway' is supposed to be, the dwarf wordlessly reaches into his haversack and pulls out a portable ram, which he hands to Terser.
He reaches in again pulls out a warhammer.
Very shortly thereafter, the opening is once again open.
Bralin then waits for most of the others to go through before following, and taking in the welcoming committee, who appear to be known and friendly to his new companions. Now free of the frozen house, he scans the area, taking in the surroundings...his new home.

Reggie wanders through the portal once urged to do so, seemed her question was unheard so she just shrugs and wanders through.
"can we go home now? I need a bath." she asks waiting for some orders from her Captain.
Rill (MarkB) HP 93/93 - AC 23/13/21 CMD 21 Wednesday January 25th, 2017 1:09:35 AM
Rill steps out with the others from the frozen house.
"Tula my dear - you are a sight for sore eyes. Smart move betting on us. I think we could all use a chance to warm up and to clean up."
He sheds the furs and other protections from the cold that were so necessary a short time ago. As he does so, he activates Prestidigitation from an item to restore his robes to their pristine, white condition.
"There, that's a start. So tell us, what's been happening here in town while we were gone?"
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC26; HP62) Wednesday January 25th, 2017 1:11:14 PM
Zeoll steps into the warmer house, and then into the semi-tropical street, with a glad heart. He breathes deep to smell the sweet tang of the sea. And he greets his friends and crewmates with open arms.
Meanwhile, in the back of his mind he is thinking of spending some time in prayer and thanks. He also ponders visiting Goodie Bess and telling her about the witch of Ice Vein. And he thinks about a new magic item or three he would like to make ...

"Well", remarks Tishe' as the portal closes quite conveniently, "that went better than expected!" Terser and Bralin make short work of the ice entrance, and the sorceress take sA last look at the foolish and quite dead icy wizard. "Should we have a funeral, or just burn the house down as a pure for the Wizard and get rid of the ice?"
Once outside, the friendly faces of some of the townsfolk are a truly welcome sight, as well as the wall of heat! Tishe' quickly strips to a light shift and pantaloons, tucking her Ice Vein clothing into the pockets of her Pants o Plenty. She only arrived in Bonetown but a day before the ice happened, and so doesn't know many people and so sticks to the background. Captain Jozhur, Rillet, Reggie, Terser and Zeoll can meet old friends, she thinks.

Jozhur smiles at the sight of the rest of his crew,, and scowls when he sees Sammy and Tommy were apparently betting against their safe return, "Have some faith..."
He gives Tula a playful shove in response to her comment. "Yes, go bathe Reggie, I will go inform the city officials of what happened here. Tishe, and anyone else who can help me explain, should come with me."

Clyde swipes off the ice off of him, and stands back to watch as his companions greets the crew. He wasn't familiar enough with them just yet, but in due time, perhaps.
DM Dan K - Home Wednesday January 25th, 2017 10:47:18 PM
Ah, the sun, a sun that spreads warmth throughout your body and seemingly to your very soul. Not just a mocking light in the sky. The salt air rolls to your nose, baking bread and coffee. Bonetown immediately welcomes you home.
Tulsa accepts the light hearted shove and quickly shifts her attention to Rillett. "Not overly much. The spread of the cold ends about 50 meters in every direction. Never got any further." The newcomers to the group does not seem to surprise or concern any of the crew hands immediately gathered about. For his part Sammy sheepishly says, "She was giving great odds Cap'n. Nothing personal"
Jozhur asks for those who are talented in diplomacy to go with him to the Bonetown officials and give an accounting of what transpired. Though, whom do you go to? The Captains Council? The Harbormaster? If there is something Bonetown does not have, that is a central gov't.
Tula and the others are good to head to the ship and as the Bosun, Tula will introduce any who come with her to the ship and the rest of the crew. Once she boards the Lionfish, her demenour changes to one of very much no nonsense business who knows her place on ship and she makes sure the rest of you know as well.

Terser gives Bralin thanks for the thought, but he holds up a hand covered in adamantine instead. "Much more accustomed to using these instead, and this cold is nothing after the last couple weeks. "
His eyes travel to Clyde and Zell when a diplomat is requested. They have the most metal based tongues of the crew. "Hey Liono, how about you debrief the Harbormaster while Clyde talks to the council?"
Zeoll turns and realizes to his dismay that Tishe and Bralin are a bit adrift. He takes them under wing and gives them the grand tour. What the heck, Reggie and Clyde too, they're kinda new. And of course Terser and Rill and Jozhur if they want. Everyone is welcome!
The tour has to start with the Lionfish! "She's a beauty of a ship," Zeoll brags, though he is no expert on sailing vessels. "And fast too!" The old liontaur also introduces the first mate, Tula, a severely competent woman who knows us well.
Then the Lionfishers' shoreside home, the Portside House, that the party shares with two Pantheoners, Brothers Engev and Lansel. "Brrotherr Engev is especially known forr his bacon," Zeoll says enthusiastically. "Superr nice guy!"
Zeoll also brings Bralin and Tishe to visit Goodie Bess, the witch who lives just outside town. She and her coven helped protect Bonetown from the sea-devils. Zeoll tells the story of Billoopl, a god-wanna-be that the group had to put down. He shows off his protective amulet, made from one of Billoopl's teeth.
Then a whirlwind tour of a few other sites: The Harbor, governed by the Harbormaster, a friend of the party. While at the Harbormaster's office, Zeoll recounts recent events to the Harbormaster, or to his assistant, Enoch, one or the other.
Diplomacy 31
Other sights: The casino-like Temple of Wardd. The Black Market. The twin volcanoes that loom over the town. Zeoll tells the story of how the party entered the nearer volcano for a lesser artifact that helped them defeat Billoopl.
Then back home for a celebration dinner.

Clyde was bone-weary and tired, but being back in Bonetown and being able to see the sun and smell the salt re-energized him. He nods at Terser and Jozhur first, agreeing to go and speak with the council, then he looks at Zeoll and shrugs his shoulders. "Gotta talk to the uptight folks first, then I'll join you for the tour!"
He looks back at Jozhur. "Ready to go when you are, Cap'n."
Rill (MarkB) HP 93/93 - AC 23/13/21 CMD 21 Thursday January 26th, 2017 4:54:31 PM
As far as who should talk to whom, Jozhur would carry more weight with the Captain's Council, cause, well, he a Captain. He should at least accompany Clyde to give him authority there.
Rill will join Zeoll's Magical Mystery Tour. He makes sure it includes a visit to the Temple of Rest, the Bonetown church of Gargul, and introduce them to the head priest, Yaas Farril.
Once we get back to the house, have dinner and relax, there is the matter of the remaining treasure to dispose of. Are there any items anyone want's to claim as their share? (I'll send an email about this to facilitate discussion.)

Tishe' vaguely remembers meeting many of the crew during the night of the party, the only night she has ever spent in Bonetown! Handsome Sammy and the half-orc Tommy seem to be usual sailors to the sorceress, and she doesn't think anything of them betting on everything and anything. For the Captain's offer, Tishe' puts her hands up in a warding gesture. "I'll help With all of my skills, Jozhur, but having a honeyed tongue is not one of them!"
Zeoll's grand tour, however, is just the thing! She climbs all about the Lion Fish, running her hands about the worn wood, learning about the set of the sails, and the warp and weft of the life of the ship. "She's beautiful. As noble as the great Druidwood ships that once sailed the Sargrass. "
Portside House is another wonder, with Engev and Lansil keeping it in tip top shape. "Many Shadows. This is a waxed home. I love it!"
To Goodie Bess, Tishe' will speak easily. She has no fear of the BloodWitch, "there were many about the lands where I once roamed, both the Sargrass and in Cinnamon Valley." She is eager to hear about Billopl and the defense of the town. "When those stories reached Acid City, I became shuttlecocked and at once took ship, intending to join the Black Lions. Yet I was too late, only arriving the night of the celebration." .... Sailor: 15
Bralin Thursday January 26th, 2017 6:35:01 PM
"Hold," Bralin demands as Zeoll begins his tour.
The dwarf strips down to simple tunic. Even platemail and shield go into a pile, and then the tunic as well. In nothing but a loincloth, Bralin lies down in the middle of the road, spread eagled, and absorbs the sunlight. He starts chuckling, quietly at first, but more loudly with each moment, until he is roaring with unbridled joy at the simple pleasure of not being cold.
Recovering himself, he rises. Still grinning, he re-clothes and re-armors, and waves at Zeoll to carry on.
His mirth falters only once, in front of The Lionfish. The metal encased warrior dubiously eyes the ship and the water beyond.
"Do we sail....often?" he asks, with some trepidation.

Standing before the Lionfish, Reggie walk up beside the dwarf, Bralin. With a hearty slap on the back, "Not to worry, with enough rum, everything will be allll right" she says with a smile.
after a short pause, "Of course, if you can't handle the rum, I could always put a dress on ya and take ya out for a night of dancin'" she adds with a challenge in her tone.

Jozhur stands with his mouth agape for a moment. Not sure what to think of Reggie's comment, he smiles and mostly ignores it for the time being.
"Let's just all take Zeoll's tour, we will stop by the Harbormaster. I will arrange for a meeting with the Captain's council, at least Clyde and Zeoll should accompany me."
He sighs at Bralin's apparent issue with sailing, "Yes, we do sail quite a bit. No worries, I didn't know a thing about sailing when I started with the Lionfish. And yes, we carry plenty of rum, though ale is more my taste."
DM Dan K - Home sweet home Thursday January 26th, 2017 11:42:06 PM
The group welcomes the warmth in each of their own ways and soon Zeoll sets up a very ambitious tour of just about everything. The Cold that had been pouring through the rift is fading relatively quickly. Without the breech, the warmth of Bonetown is quickly melting any ice that remains. Within a day, none would ever know.
The group starts to split with Cyde thinking of heading to the council, but it dawns on the older residents that the Captains council is not exactly an official thing. The captains get together when a captain sends a request and then only some feel like it and show. It's not like there is a place to go to meet a council, they are, after all, ships captains. Depends on who is in port as to what kind of council would even be assembled and again, a ships captain must initiate it. And so Clyde joins the rest.
The party hits all the spots and one of those being the HarborMaster. The tale is fascinating and all, but he cuts you a bit short as he has a few other concerns and daily work to get done. 'But always good to see the LionFish. Welcome home.'
Goodie Bess is a bit more impressed and involved with the story. Ancient Powers and such is right up her alley.
Eventually the group is back at Port House and enjoying a celebratory dinner. Is it after dinner and the party is in full relax mode with evening drinks when your hackles rise. The senses of seasoned adventurers who are ever on alert, regardless of their surroundings, leap to life. Heartbeats pass in silence. Then a few more.
She simply steps into being, into the center of room and the power that you can feel flowing with her, is a bit more than simply unnerving. Clad in dazzling battle armor, trimmed in pure white fur with her long golden hair pulled into a braid that cascades down her right breast. Frigga'Isa of the Ice Vein stands before you. "Well met again Black Lions of Bonetown."

In response to a feeling that makes his hackles rise there in Portside House, Rill will stand and cast Detect Evil, followed by Detect Magic. Later, when Frigga’Isa appears, he uses Deathwatch to determine if she is living or an undead spirit - or neither. Rill knows the Ice Vein is well outside the range of the simple Teleport spell he is able to cast.
He will bow low to the apparition, “Greetings Frigga’Isa. You are indeed welcome here. You appear differently than when we last saw you, dressed now for battle. What has brought you from that cold mountain where last we met to this far away isle?”
In contrast to his words, Rill is tense at her sudden appearance, ready to reach for divine power to protect this group if need be.

Bralin continues to eye the ship, and then Reggie speaks up.
The dwarf's head turns, and regards her. "Your challenge is accepted," he replies formally.
But, they are off, and eating and drinking is delayed until evening. Bralin launches into full-on buffet-mode, concentrating on anything out of the sea. He's about three plates into the meal before the room silences and the apparition they're calling Frigga'Isa appears.
His new comrades respond, although the warrior notes, with approval, preparations are underway.

Clyde enjoyed the tour, and the company, and was in general good mirth. All was going well and lulling to a quiet end, when Frigga'Isa of the Ice Vein appeared. Clyde's first thought was that he had drunk too much, a natural reaction that lasted all of a split second before the snapped to his feet, hand going straight to his sword handle. It didn't matter who it was, he wasn't about to be unprotected at an intrusion like this.

Reggie had begun to enjoy the food. a real meal that she was familiar with. she had missed some of this.
not to say that the other place had bad food. its just sometimes you like what you're used to. It didn't take long until Frigga appeared, almost like her thoughts were being scryed upon.
"Sorry" almost silently passes her lips as she wonders if she can actually insult people in her thoughts.
DM Dan K - Home sweet home Saturday January 28th, 2017 4:54:43 PM
The group quickly composes themselves, several defensive spells are cast, but most become at ease when they register who is there. She nods and smiles back to the group as each greet her. "When one travels to a new land, I believe you should try and look your best." she says in reply to Rillett. As Tishe recovers herself, Frigga'Isa lets a small laugh escape. "My apologies for putting you to such a state Tishe and really Reggie, to miss one's home is quite understandable. The Wold holds many wonders to see, hear and taste, but home is always and should always be home. Else, why stay?"
Bralin scans the area as she moves about the room and all of his senses simply acknowledge that she is there right where everyone thinks she is.
Rillett's Deathwatch detects nothing.
The tall strong woman of the Ice Vein takes a few steps and picks up a glass from a nearby table and then gestures towards a chair. "Mind if I sit." and does so once anyone confirms that she may.
"A fine home you have."
Zeoll cannot put his finger on what might be transpiring either. One thin is certain, as Frigga'Isa physically interacts with the environment, what he has come to believe as a Power of the southern continent is standing not 5' from him.
"I have come at the request of Mjolka'Frodr. It seems you have managed to impress the Witch of Burfell and that is no easy task. She pauses to take a small drink from the glass and with a smile continues, "While she would not go so far as to name you Wunjos she did make it known to me that she and the elders of Ice Peak wished to convey a token of their friendship. And so in short I have to present you with a few gifts of the Ice Vein."
She stands and takes a small coffer from her side and sets it upon the table. "The contents and the coffer are yours to keep and I wish to offer you a small gift as well. A rememberance of my land." Frigga'Isa walks over to the entry to the storage room and touches the wall. Crystalizing upon the wall is a shadow box and within is an elegant and infinitely detailed sculpture of a mountain made of snow. An inscription of ice upon the outside of the Shadow box reads Mt Burfell She looks at it a moment and then turns. "Also know you are each welcome in the Ice Vein, now blooded by the men and women of Ice Peak." She smiles at each of you looking for a soul glancing moment and then is simply gone.
The coffer upon the table is made of rich spruce and smells of pine, inlaid with silver about the hinges and closure.points. It has no latch or lock and simply opens as a music box might
Inside, you discover an extra dimensional space with the following 2 pair of Boots made of white leather and fur, likely Worg. A Scimitar crafted of a strange blue white metal that is almost painfully cold to the touch. It very much resembles the blade Kayra carried in Ice Peak A bracelet of woven snow with 6 small charms upon it. An acorn sized blue diamond. A silver flask, one for each of you with your names engraved upon them, yes including Bralin. Each is filled with Ice Wine and you can feel the cold emminate from the flask when opened. A small leather pouch for each of you containing 2,000 platinum pieces

My last post here, well probably. I wanted to thank you for allowing me to join you, even briefly, on your adventures here in Bonetown. Kathy, as you know, will be stepping in on Monday. It has been fun for me and I hope for you as well and I will see you all about the other boards.
As Kathy levelled everyone just a bit ago, I am forgoeing mentioneing any experience.
I would like to gift a Hero Point to each of you. You all played out the cold and conflict with the environment quite well and that was part of the drudgery and point of many of the scenes and posts. Again, thanks and good luck on the rest of your adventures
