Session 16: Journey to the Ice Queen

The party arrived at Ambermoor.
- They noticed that the town had become far more militarized since the last time they left.
Revana found a guard to ask some questions.
- The guard mentioned that, on order of the Countess, Ambermoor was recruiting more citizens into its guard.
- There was also a curfew, and taht citizens weren't allowed to wander the city at night.
While Ekhart, Revana, and Remy went shopping, Sanglant headed to Ambermoor.
Sanglant met up with Dame Ira Royn, the Master-at-Arms of Ambermoor Keep.
- Dame Ira mentioned that Count Adir, along with Albert, had been summoned back to Naveria.
- Amelia, Count Adir's middle daughter, had been appointed acting Countess in his absence.
- Zara, Count Adir's oldest daughter, left without saying anything a few days ago
  - Apparently, the Golden Guild had also vacated their headquarters.
- Duke Renys Baerd, Duke of Fairwyn, and his sister Marion, the Dowager Empress, had some sort of disagreement.
  - Duke Renys has claimed that the Emperor has moved to Hallowfel,
  - while the Queen Regent claims that the Emperor is still in Naveria.
  - Apparently, the plot to have Albert kidnapped, the child that the party saved, was originally orchestrated by Renys.
- Sanglant and Dame Ira went to see Lady Gwendalyn, and the two of them shared a pleasant evening.

In the Midnai Wilds, the party once again met Agabane.
- She created another Never Ending Potion for Remy, and Remy and Sanglant purchased additional potions for the brew.

The party arrived at Riverpond.
Remy left to meet with her father, Elai Dane.
Sanglant, Revana, and Ekhart entered the Faerealm.
- Selina, the Water Fae, was gone, and the entire area was instead covered in snow and ice.
- Hundreds of little water spirits were frozen in the ice.
- Remy and Ekhart used their fire magic to free one of them.
The spirit told them about Selina.
- Selina would occasionally go into bouts of depression around the anniversary of her sister, Syndra the Fire Spirit's, death.
- She had been gone for a few days, though, which was very unlike her.
- Usually she would only be gone for a day, at most.
- The spirit told them that they could find Selina at her home, near the waterfall that fed into the river.

The party, plus Remy, followed the dried up river to its source.
They once again entered the Faerealm, and found a giant frozen waterfall, and a staircase that twisted up it.
They climbed the waterfall, and eventually reached a platform that lead into the mountain.
- Around the platform were 4 blue-skinned goblins, similar to the ones Sang had met before in the Faerealm near the Midnai Wilds.
Remy used her fire magic to melt the ice that sealed the door and the party entered the Frozen Grotto.
