Night of Frozen Shadows

The Scions journieyed to Kalgard with Ameiko Kaijitsu and the caravan run by her former adventuring companion Sandru Vhiski. They sought to recover the sword Suishen and locate a guide who would be able to take them over the Crown of the World. Unfortunately, their actions in Brinewall did not go unnoticed, and agents of the Five Storms were on the lookout for them. This became apparent when Linnorm Kingdoms vikings raided their caravan's riverside camp one evening. The raiders themselves left a clue, however, in that all wore similar gold armbands, the mark of their allegiance to a local Ulfen chief, and their heads exploded when questioned about their employers.

Upon arriving in Kalsgard, the Scions began searching for Suishen and the whearabouts of a guide named Ulf Gormundr. All clues pointed to a local chief named Asvig Longthews, who appeared to have not only stolen the sword and sent the raiders to attack the Scions, but very possibly had kidnapped the only available guide as well. Their daring raid upon Asvig's farm confirmed these facts, but neither the sword nor Ulf Gormundr were found. Meanwhile, agents of the Frozen Shadows continued to harass the Scions, destroying their lovely suites at the local inn and ruining their plans for a romantic evening.

Further investigation lead the Scions to the Rimerunners Guild, a front for the Frozen Shadows, prompting them to pose as coal merchants, so they could obtain information about the Rimerunner's illicit dealings. Through their masterful deception, the Scions discovered evidence that the Frozen Shadows operated out of their own fortified sanctuary, a remote hall called Ravenscraeg. The Scions made a daring assault on Ravenscraeg, recovering Suishen, rescuing Ulf Gormundr, unmasking the ogre mage Kimandatsu and taking down the Frozen Shadows for good.
