Lycea used her ropework spell to conjure a rope for everyone to cling on to as the ship was dashed on to the rocks at the base of a cliff. Thinking quickly, we scrambled for the safety of the sea caves abandoning some of our gear in the process. The caves proved to have been occupied at some point, and we had to force open a rusted iron gate to proceed, capturing a suspiciously intelligent silver rat that had been watching us.
We climbed up, making it to a ruined chapel on the top of the cliffs where a coven of witches were holding our captain and two of the crew hostage and threatened them with death unless we did their bidding. They gave us all a bitter potion that transported us to a snowy wood with giant footprints in the snow - uh, oh.
Following the tracks we found a clearing with the corpse of a giant black bear in the snow, killed by a giant sized weapon. We spotted a dwarf watching us from the trees who promised to lead us to a secret entrance to the giant's castle in return for food.
Passing through a ravine we narrowly escaped an avalanche, escaping into the caves below the castle. A battle with some ice toads ensued before we could get our bearings.
