They
had just awakened from a powerful mental enslavement to find them selves
manning and Ice Skiff bound for Zhentil Keep.
Catching the gnoll captain by surprise they quickly commandeered the
vessel. Being late in the evening they
decided to sleep in the tiny shelter on the skiff. In the morning they woke to find there allies
approaching from the east and a small
wisp of smoke rising from the south. Now
with two ice skiff at the ready, they decided to split up, half of them heading
back to Phlan and the other half going to check on the smoke to the south. Upon approaching the smoke they found it to
be another skiff, although apparently busted.
Within, they found the ravenous gnoll captain, who had apparently been
out here for weeks. The gnoll captain,
in his weekened state was no match for the and upon searching his corpse and
the skiff, Hans found a magical family amulet that was passed down to his
sister. The plot thickens, on the skiff
they also find the gnawed bones of a small elven girl, Dun dun dun. Although, using speak with dead, Elexan was
able to reveal to Hans that the elf meal was not in fact his sister. For now it appears that Hans’ search for his
sister has gone cold, in the middle of a frozen sea.
