Synopsis
As the group awakens to danger nearby they get ready. Suddenly insect-like creatures emerge out of the snow and attack the Axe beaks. The group rallies to defend their mounts. As Kyrealle rushes outside her magical hut it disappears. Several more insects emerge to join the fight, two much larger than the rest. The group is able to defend themselves but not while defending their axe beaks. One of the creatures is slain by a large insect. Eclipse with a great idea attempts to tie one of the sleeping insects and the other axe beak. The axe beak was spooked and dragged the sleeping insect away. The fight continued and started to look dire. Keywynn was attacked by one of the larger ones and it sent parasites in her body. Luckily she summoned Elskon and he was able to cast lesser restoration to cure her of the poison. They were able to group together and finally kill all of the beasts.

Eclipse and Naphako went out to follow the trail of their lost Axe Beak. When they got to the end of the trail it was too late. The sleeping insect did awake and was eating the remains of the axe beak. Carefully Naphako and Eclipse left the area and headed back to camp. The party finishes their long rest and leaves in the morning back on the trail. Along the way they spot a bad storm and decide to try to wait it out in Kyrealle’s tiny hut. They try to wait the storm out throughout the day but the storm does not let up. They decided to continue to wait throughout the night. In the morning the storm was still blazing and the group chose to push on. They tied themselves together along a line of rope and pushed through the storm.

The storm got worse. The temperatures dropped well below -100 degrees as they pushed on. Suddenly the group was pulled into an arctic tornado. Kyrealle cast a spell on Naphako to weigh her down, keeping her grounded, as the rest of the group was beginning to get lifted. Unfortunately, the rope snapped and Eclipse, Kyrealle and Keywynn were pulled into the store leaving Naphako and Kerrick anchored to the ground. The three spiraled in the air and Kyrealle cast feather fall on the other two right as their ropes broke apart. Spinning around in circles Eclipse and Kyrealle lost visual on Keywynn but were able to grasp one another. All three were tossed to the ground taking minimal damage. Eclipse and Kyrealle looked around and only saw each other. Kerrick and Naphako, unmoved, couldn't spot the rest of the group either. Keywynn looked up from the snow and found herself alone.
