 **Detail**
-They woke up the next morning at Bjorn and Elsa's. Elsa brought Angelique three herb bags. They were each the equivalent of a healing potion but require a little more work to consume than simply drinking a potion. They each held a little ball of herbs to chew on and swallow. It may not taste very good but it will help. Angelique was very thankful for the help. Bjorn escorted them outside and wished them the best. "You can always come here if you need to, to retreat. We'll help out as best we can. If they are in hot pursuit of you, please don't bring them here. Of course we'll defend our home to the death, but I'd rather not have my children have to get involved I that kind of a fight.". Xor gave Bjorn 100 gold pieces to use however he needed to. He thanked him for his help. Bjorn told Xor that they do plan to go back over the mountains soon to reestablish contact. His children will need somebody as they get older. He wished them well on their tasks and they set out.

-As they headed out, they were slowly climbing higher. The snow was thick, deep, and made the traveling slow going. It's quite a ways up. It's not as open up here as there were rocky outcroppings and ridges along the way. Cal, Eryn, and Xor were all able to move around pretty well. Everyone else was slowed a bit. Cal took the lead, looking for potential ambushes. He didn't see any sign of traffic through here recently. Xor checked as well and also didn't see anything. They listened, but didn't hear anything. They were probably still a little ways away from the Frostulf's but couldn't be sure. Cal, Loraine, and Xor used wolf pelts to help blend in. They kept moving slowly up, Eryn with her bow notched and ready to fire. Everyone was vigilant. Visibility was pretty good. Looked like more snow might be moving in later.

-About half way up, they heard a sound, Eryn recognized it as the roar she'd heard two nights before. It sounded like it was coming from down the mountain. She turned to face behind them, looking for any sign of a creature but saw nothing. It sounded closer than when she had heard it two nights ago. Cassandra watched from the back, sword and shield drawn, and ready. Symon moved up closer to Xor. They heard the roar again but this time it sounded a little bit closer. Cal and Xor believed they were being tracked. They scattered off to the sides, up into the rocks and crouched down, hiding. They'd hoped they could ambush it. Cal, Eryn, and Xor tried to cover their tracks. They got quiet and waited. After a short time, they heard a snuffing sound. As it came into sight, it stopped and sniffed the air. It was huge. After a moment, it seemed to catch their scent and turned and charged.

-Symon set off a fireball on the creature. Cassandra was already on the move, charging the creature. The fireball went off and then she got to it and hit it. Cal, Eryn, and Angelique all fired at it and missed or simply hit one of it's scales causing no damage. Xor ran up to hit it as well. He really cut into it. Loraine ran up and engaged but missed. The creature attacked Cassandra, hitting her with one claw. Cassandra hit back and sliced into it very well. Angelique cast Produce Flame and threw a ball of fire at it. Cal ran over to attack it, hitting it. Suddenly, Cassandra was overcome with fear. Symon fired a Magic Missile at it and hit it. Xor hit it and cut it down. From further up the path, another one came charging down. Loraine charged toward the newcomer. Eryn fired at it and hit it. Eryn fired again and hit again. The creature used a frost breath weapon and caught a lot of them in it's cone. The fight went on for only a round before they dropped the second one.

 They finally decided it was a some sort of aberration, a creature created with some part of it being dragon and some part polar bear. When Cal hit it with Dragon Bane, it didn't seem to hit it any better. It must not be enough percentage of Dragon to cause the additional damage to it when hit. It appeared that the creatures had set up an ambush. That was a little scary. Symon took some of the fur for possible use as a spell component. He examined it for possible weaknesses and determined that fire was it's weakness. Like everyone else, Loraine had never seen one before either. Eryn sat on the top of the ridge and checked all around. She didn't see anything. She stayed there as overwatch until everyone was ready to go. Angelique did some more healing. They gathered together and set out again.
