Icewind Dale 22: Xardorok Sunblight

Hammer 17, 1489
Dre'zel my love,

As over a dozen Duergar on their towers bellowed their war cries, and five Quaggoth emerged from behind Xardorok, who blasted Saritu with Hellish Rebuke and an Eldritch Blast, I sought refuge in the shadows.

Icewind Dale 21: Sunblight Fortress

Hammer 17, 1489
Dre'zel my love,

From inside Talyth’s Tiny Hut, safe from the smoky haze spilling from the fortress, Talyth pointed out that the noxious vapors would most likely impede us, should we spend too much time breathing them.

Icewind Dale 19: Thugs In Easthaven

Hammer 16, 1489
Dre'zel my love,

Steve and Taimen joined us at the White Lady Inn, where Graven had ushered us into a private room where Vellynne Harpell was prepared to perform her Speak With Dead ritual on the skulls we had recovered.

With the hag defeated, we began to explore the rest of the cave. To the north, we saw a large frozen pool. Far beneath the ice’s surface were the remains of more frost giants.

Dre'zel my love,

D’zaan tumbled into the depression ahead, having been swatted hard by Taimen’s tentacle. A twenty-foot-high, unusually smooth rock jutted out of the center of the depression.

Icewind Dale 15: The Berserker's Cave

Hammer 13, 1489
Dre'zel, my love,

Even though we all survived, our incursion into the berserker’s cave went horribly wrong in ways I never imagined. When we first entered, we were ambushed by two white dragon wyrmlings, which breathed their frost breath on us.

Icewind Dale 13: The Elven Tomb

Hammer 11, 1489
Dre'zel, my love,

With the infamous awakened white moose dead, I quickly surveyed our surroundings.

Icewind Dale 12: The White Moose

Hammer 11, 1489
Dre'zel, my love,

As we headed to the Buried Treasures Inn, we found all the fisherfolk gathered around the Five-Tavern Center. Jojo helped Soupmeister Steve bring our six knucklehead trouts to the inn, everyone else was caught up in the merry-making that was being had at the news that the lake monster had been slain.

Icewind Dale 11: The Lake Monster

Hammer 9, 1489
Dre'zel, my love,

After searching the Drow assassins for clues, we turned our attention to Oris and interrogated him about any connection he might have with them. I was very suspicious of his claim of waiting outside the mine and not seeing any Drow enter.

Icewind Dale 10: The Gem Mine

In the morning, the ‘sun’ that had been following Ambrose was completely gone.

Icewind Dale 9: The Summer Star

Hammer 7, 1489
Dre'zel, my love,

While Ambrose was searching the cabin for clues, I stared at the snow underneath for any signs of movement. When I was confidant that the cabin was stable, I took a look inside the outhouse.

Icewind Dale 8: The Black Cabin

Hammer 7, 1489
Dre'zel, my love,

I was revived by a hard slap from Taimen’s healing hand and saw that Talyth had just risen. The dragonborn handed me my bow, but the battle was over, and the duergar had been defeated!

Icewind Dale 7: The Duergar Keep

Hammer 6, 1489
Dre'zel, my love,

While I fled under the ghost’s control, I learned that the ghost’s name was Pagophil.

Icewind Dale 6: Descent from Kelvin's Cairn

Hammer 5, 1489
Dre'zel, my love,

I’m afraid to tell you that Talyth’s bold attempt to commune with Auril turned into a terrifying scene.

Icewind Dale 5: Kelvin's Cairn

Hammer 4, 1489
Dre'zel, my love,

Eager to get an early start, we woke early and departed The Northern Light Tavern, heading to Frozenfar Epeditions to retrieve Ja’artha.

Icewind Dale 4: Easthaven to Caer Konig

Hammer 3, 1489
Dre'zel, my love,

In the morning, Dannika was very upset that we had met the chwingas without her and took her color changing lantern back.

Dre'zel, my love,

In the town of Bryn Shander, we reached the Town Hall, a two-story building. Sheriff Markham was there and he told us Speaker Duvessa Shane had travelled to Easthaven where a Red Wizard had been caught.

Icewind Dale 2: Targos to Bryn Shander

Hammer 2, 1489
Dre'zel, my love,

I found an unobtrusive place to watch Timber’s home from a distance while Talyth went off to purchase cold-weather clothing and update the rest of our companions.

Icewind Dale 1: Bryn Shander to Targos

Hammer 2, 1489
Dre'zel, my love,

I have reason to be optimistic. Talyth and I recently met a group of adventurers that seem interested in putting an end to the neverending night and might have the competence to do something about it.
