D&D 5e Rime of the Frostmaiden.

Sorry about the long wait for a post from me. It's been a rather complicated weekend, almost week now that I look at the last dates for posts.

As there are currently only two of you, would you like to wait to see if any others join or press on for now? If need be I can add a npc to aid the party from time to time.

After the moon elf departs, Theodorick grabs his gear and bids Kythor a good evening and safe travels. He mentions that one of the folk of Good Mead mentioned that they may have work for him here within the milita.

The busting of then hall dies down as the evening grows later. Still there is murmuring of the new moon tomorrow night and the impending sacrifice of warmth to try to placate the Goddess of winter. Some do talk of some of the other towns having lotteries for people to be sent out to the cold, or other places leaving food as their offering.

Morning comes in the usual bleak darkness that holds till near mid-day. Already the town is busy trying to prepare for tonight. Most are trying to keep windows shuttered and even less opening of their doors. The attendant of the mead hall is busy in the apiary between harvest of honey and ensuring the survival of their lively hood. Breakfast is available for two silver, seared knucklehead trout with fresh bread seems to be the most available meal.

Seems like two of our other players have been away for awhile. I'll open up itnagain for anyone that may be interested in joining.

I'll also get a DM post up soon if you two are ready to move on.

I've thought about this for a bit and ment to add it sooner. I'm going to redact the encumbrance rule and stick to normal ruling for it.

I figured Kythor isn't showing his features so I left him described as a human.

Aside from the handful of fisher folk and woodsman, Rinx only notices two half-elven women, a halfling, and a two humans that appear to be potential marks. One of the half elves leaves shortly after speaking with the one of the humans carrying what looks like a small icy blue doll. She seemed rather excited to receive it for side reason.

The other half elf sits near the fire eating her meal with the halfling. Once they are done eating. The halfling leaves and the woman finds a spot in the hall to get ready to bed down for the night.

The rest of the mead hall patrons are noisily eating and talking, though some lean in to listen to the bard playing. One of the dwarfs does stand out some as he openly wears the symbol for Moradin.

@The Large Dumbo you now have a Charm of the Traveler's Haven. It has three charges, no recharges and does not expire till the last charge it used. You can expend a charge and cast Leomund's tiny hut with not components required. There is also 26gp left for you and @Chro2

@Sparrowhawk@Quinnspired@Aalakrys
Now is a good time for the newer members to introduce themselves to the game, and probably the remaining party members.

Kythor feels a slight bit of magic in the stone and can tell that it can create a shelter for eight hours. However there is a limited amount of uses of the stone.

The chwinga goes back to Dannika and begins to rifle through the small pack she had set on the table. The half-elven woman looks back to group and takes out a small coin purse. "Now I do remember the discussed reward was twenty-five gold. Since you brought me this one without having to trap it I'll add an extra twenty-five as a bonus." She starts to count out the gold, setting it out on the table. Omce the amount stated was on the table, she puts the coin purse away and pushes the gold across the table. "You can also keep the lantern, I now have no further use for it since you found me a chwinga. Maybe you'll have more use for it later.

Jitter promptly takes twelve coins from the pile. He informs the group that he is going to head to Bryn-Shander first thing in the morning. He says his farewells and wanders to another side of the mead hall to get dinner.

Kendra also steps forward to collect twelve coins as well. She states that she is going to Bremen tomorrow. She bids the remaining two adieu and goes to sit at another table.

Dannika nods to Kythor. "I've heard that the do not use spoken languages. I speculation however that they can understand us.

She turns to the chwinga and uses minor illusion to show the chwinga what she intends to do while also speaking it aloud. Most of the images simply shows her watching the chwinga and making notes. Other times it is her playing with the little elemental. The last shows them parting ways, neither inhibited by the other. "Hello little one. I only mean to watch and learn from you. Once I am done, or you feel the need to, you may leave. I think through my study and interaction with you, I may be able to improve the weather here and help the locals."

The chwinga watches, seemingly enamored by the illusion before it. Once done it looks to Kythor. It approaches him and summons a small rock into its hands. It offers the stone to the tiefling.
