The party meets a lone soldier on their way to the Hold. A group of sellswords has claimed the Hold for their own and will not leave without a fight.

The party meets a lone traveler along the way who may not be as friendly as he appears. They find a frozen treat along the way. The path is littered with frozen reminders of the danger that lies above.

The party parleys with a pair of paranoid gnomes, meets some eccentric ones in the workshop and finds that the king has gone mad, gluing the other king to their throne. I think the madness is catching because they’ve decided it’s time to face off with Cryovain.
