When Eli was shot, he yells out, "Ow!" and whimpers.

Eli then points at the goblin who is still on the bridge. A little Mittens puppet replaces the goblin's left hand, pulls out a mallet and bops the goblin on the nose! The goblin falls unconscious. "How did you like that, Mittens?"

(So our adventurers Overcome the horde and look to there surroundings, what had the battle ben over, where these the so call mad creatures attacking Congelata, and who was the chain cladd warrior upon the bridge?)

The Female warrior throws her axe over her shoulder and walks to the edge of the bridge looking down on the group that had finished off the last of the goblin horde.
She yells down "Adventurers are you, come to try for the reward and fail like all the rest, well you could be overgrown ice rats for all I care. If you men ta lend a hand meet me at the ice road  just north of hear som of them got through and I'm worried for my men."

Mits busted out laughing at Eli's non-lethal fatality and gives him a thumbs-up.  When the fight is over she ties up survivors.

"Mittens is unimpressed with the armored person's charisma, but then she's not really one to talk," she comments, "She decides it probably best to have Kyle do the talking with the customer rather than risk foot-in-mouth issues of her own."

   Kyle will not fire a warning shot.  That would be unprofessional, and waste ammo.

  "As much as I hate to admit it, we are in a bad way if I am one of the more tactful speakers in the area."  Two out of four is still most, Eli.

Eli smiles at the acknowledgement Mittens gives him. Then gulps when the warrior yells at them. He just doesn't have the gumption to say things like "think positive!" back to her and instead just follows along with the others.

He glances up at Kyle. "I... know how to talk tactful... but that lady scares me, so I'm too scared to talk to her."

"Hmph.." The warrior turns toward the north an marches forward "One day, no, not eve that I doubt you even reach the town." She disappears into the snow determined to reach her men as fast as she can. Men form up and make camp and fortifications to prepare for any more attacks.

A deep voice trembles across the whispering wind "So what will you do now young ones, leave or follow and see what fate awaits." and hen as fast as it came the voice disperses into the cold nothingness.

As she heads in the direction armor lady went, Mittens conjures a goofy-looking sock puppet and mimics the armor lady and the mystery voice.

  "She probably won't kill you because it would make her look bad, unless you are secretly evil I guess." Kyle says to Eli he checks his crossbow.  "Most her type tend to do is yell a lot. I've found it better to deal with yelling than the quite sort that spends all day tending to their ears collection." Not helping, Kyle.

  Kyle mutters something about where vials of acid will be shoved if mysterious elderly people neglect to mention they were sitting on top of a secret passage the whole time after getting rescued.

Eli looked scared of the mystery voice when it spoke up, but then spots the goofy sock puppet and his eyes go wide as he looks stunned for a moment (Can not take any actions)... and then laughs hard. "M-Mittens *giggle*... I *snort*... he... hahahahah!" yeah, he's done. Can't really talk for all the laughing.

He looks and sounds like he is trying to answer Kyle, but is just too busy laughing to answer, tears in his eyes.

(As the adventuring party moves forward and the falling snow lessens they see a massive path across a wide gap between the land were the sea rushes through. Before them stands the warrior a cold look upon her face all emotion gone. Her hed hung low the shadows across her face tell her feeling all to well.)

"You idiots, I told you not to break formation. How many times did I tell you in training, you were just a bunch of brats." She raises her axe and points it toward the enemy to her front an ice troll the leader of the onslaught from the way its giving order to the goblins to toss the corpses into the river. "Ill Splatter your guts." and rushes him.

Th frost troll swiftly lashes out with its spear and stabs Gloria through the shoulder, and the surrounding goblins attack in succession. Gloria quickly steps back dodging the firs goblins sword by mere inches and blocking the second with her axe. The third from her right slides on the ice and manages to only take a few hairs.

Gloria grabs the handle of the axe with both hands and swings down with all her might cleaving off the trolls left arm, but not quite finishing it off. "Stubborn bastard just die already."

Eli steps forward and flips open a book before waving a hand at the enemies around Gloria. A horde of fairies show up and dance around the enemies at incredible speeds! Two of the goblins wind up knocked unconscious by the fairies charging at them and punching them in the face! The one who refuses to die rolls with one of the punches. And another goblin manages to dodge.

He wants to say something, but only musters, "Hold on!"

  In a repeat performance, Kyle drops one of the enemies attacking Gloria.

  Though it's a bit more messy, considering the brains melting and leaking out their mouth thanks to the acid crossbow bolt lodged through his forehead.

  "Right, need to adjust the acid."  Yes Kyle, clearly they would have lived if not for the acid. right.  He reloads his crosbow and comments "Consider surrendering, if you'd like to avoid that,"

"Kyle she looks pretty VERY hurt," Mits says, heading over to flank with Gloria.

"Bonk bonk on the head!" she says, knocking out a goblin with a hamfist to the top of his helmet.

The last goblin seeing his friend fall with ease and there leader downed so simply decides to take his chances with the sea, and jumps into the freezing water.


"Oh no you don't you slimy worm, nobody kills my mean and walks away unscathed." Gloria pulls out her hand crossbow and takes aim. THUMP!! "And pop goes the goblin."

She turns to the party and pulls the tip of the spear still in her shoulder out. "So you came, guess I owe you one." She looks around at the fallen soldiers. "Poor sods they were only hear as backup not even out of training yet, damn goblins they've all but whittled our forces down to they 10 or 15 men you saw before and kids barley off there mamas milk. Sigh.. I'm Gloria Guard Captain of Congelata  for what its worth, if its the town your looking for its north of here."

Speaking of kids barely off their mama's milk, the little boy walks over to Gloria with a heartfelt look in his face, tears in his eyes. He had yet to see people dying like this. "...sorry about your soldiers, Miss Gloria."

The fairies who attacked earlier fly back to Eli's book and disappear into it before he closes the book.

  Kyle looks to Mittens, then looks to Gloria's health bar floating over her head wounds. "She's fine." He comments, walking over to the fallen taller enemy and yanking free his own crossbow bolt.   <brown>"Wasting ammo, but fine.  Though I expect I may have in her place"

"Yeah, we're adventurers looking to help the town with the constant raids," Mits answers, "Thanks for the directions."

She heads north.  After checking the fallen goblins for anything valuable.

"I'll be to town shortly, I want to gather the taggs my men carry and give them a proper goodbye. " The tavern will be your best bet for information as the mayor left weeks ago, and many of the towns folk are heading out as well. Only those who have lived hear their whole lives are staying behind." Gloria looks to the young one "You are young to learn the hard truth of the world, let this be a lesson that will teach you to be strong, and thank you for worrying. I'll be fine."

(Our heroes venture forth into the unknown as the ice road seems to go on without end. After a few hours of traveling the can see a faint light of the town ahead. As they walk a voice in the wind grabs there attention.)

"You who stand before me show promise, will you hear my plea o heroes who wish to end this war that benefits none." a shimmer in the air and then a orb of light appears in front of the party. "I ask of you will yea pleas hear me out."

Eli follows the group north, continually shivering from the cold of the area. When the light speaks up again, Eli hides behind Mittens and Kyle. "p-p-plea...?"

  "It does not seem practical to ignore you, if you are speaking of what we came here for in the first place."  He does wonder about it's selection standards, but expects this is the usual case of 'well, it's you or the dead 1 hitpoint town guards'.

"Mittens is much more impressed with the manners of the talking orb," Mittens narrates, "So of course she stops to listen.  Though already she's expecting to be less than convinced of the rightness of either side of the war."

"I thank you young ones, now lend me your ears and I shall tell you of how this war started. I am Ivon and this form is simply what is left of my spirit, the Sorceress Mordona captured my powers while I was in my 8 month sleep to recover from the energy required to bring the calm season to the land for farming and hunting. A four month cycle of holding back the snow storms is tiring. Mordona was once the Sorceress who I granted permmision to study my Ice magic as she seemed harmless at first but she grew too power hungry and now has taken most of my powers as her own in an attempt to take over all of Glaciem. I ask you to Please stop her and return my powers to me so that I may Bring the Calm or those who live in Glaciem will have no food or storage's to live through the Storms." Ivon looks from face to face "She has taken the minds of the natives of this land who once lived closely with the humans and now makes them attack, I begg of you stop her and end her rain of terror. To help I shall give you the rest of my remaining power."

(The orb of light floats into the air and glows brightly and a warm light covers the team.)

"There it is done. With this power will you help me?" the orb asks its tone desperate.

ALL PARTY MEMBERS ADVANCE TO LEVEL 5!!!!!

Eli gasps when the power is transferred and he looks at his hands. "So much knowledge all the sudden..."

Eli's fear turns to concern and he says, "That is why we are here. We want to stop the evil in this land and protect those who can not protect themselves."
