Once again, time resumed and our heroes continued their quest. They parted ways with Mitsui and headed back to Fireshear, hoping to finish their training with their griffons. The journey there was uneventful, and upon arrival in Fireshear they saw the town was being rebuilt. They found Dasharra who agreed to finish their training. Seraphina used this time to help the town, and as thanks Dasharra offered a lowered rate for the griffon rental. With that, our heroes were off.
It took a few days but with the information they had obtained from the giants, they found Svardborg without too much difficulty. Upon surveying the place they decided to land near the south side. Seraphina opened the door to the south most lodge, taking a quick look inside she saw a number of ice mephits, but not frost giants. She therefore decided to slowly leave and try the next lodge. This time she saw a few frost giants drinking mug after mug of ale, being a bit tipsy they didn’t notice Seraphina as she snuck back out.
Going around they encountered a few more lodges, but most of the doors lead to destroyed buildings. Finally, they came across one lodge that wasn’t destroyed. Opening this set of doors a couple frost giants saw them and attacked them immediately. Our heroes quickly took them out, a very different outcome from when the giants attacked the Fireshear.
As our heroes began to explore the lodge, they saw a frozen pile of loot. Finn lit some wood on fire to start melting the ice, however as soon as he did a white dragon flew down from the bell tower. While this one was a bit smaller than the previous one they found, it gave them a cold welcome as it unleashed its breath attack on them. As our heroes gathered around it and started hitting it, it let out a loud roar terrifying all but Seraphina. Zesh set up a wall of flame but it simply moved through it. As Seraphina continued to injure it, the dragon chose its life over its treasure and decided to run away. Seraphina chased after it and ended up killing it with her bow and arrow.
Our heroes took the opportunity to rest and heal up while they thawed out the treasure. Happy with their new loot, they left the lodge to search out the jarl. As they started to continue they realized they had two options, they either had to climb up or turn back around. After some discussion they decided to climb, Seraphina began to fall but quickly activated her boots.
Thus time came to a standstill once more.
