+* Brumrik counts the corpses: 47 bodies and a spare arm.
+* Uligul investigates the bodies for actual information. It seems there were 2 separate battles. The first long ago (some with weapons), is evidenced …. The second, 
+* As you peer closer, your eyes glide across the scene, piecing the past back together. It appears there were two separate battles on these grounds. The first, seemingly a very long time ago, left mangled corpses of men, women, and children. Some of the bodies have weapons nearby, but others do not. Interestingly, it seems as though the clothing on the departed are marked by identifiers of not one, but many different tribes and teams that once traveled around the area. A coating of ice and snow lightly covers the deceased, separating them from the remainder.
+* The other battle, which appears as though it occured much more recently, is made up of at least a dozen departed, each one wearing a crimson tunic bearing a white crest that resembles a ship’s sails. 
+* Uligul raises the tunic wearing dude with the most gold trim on his tunic from the dead.
+* Hellmuth checks out some people and spies a tall dead redhead woman. He shouts “Yolanda!”, recognizing her from his tribe. She was a member of the hunting parties. Hellmuth tries to determine the nature of her death and finds a scorched hole through her abdomen.
+* Hellmuth’s rage spirits erupt and share his spiritual connection with Yolanda, and he says a prayer.
+* Balricstein prays the opposite to his demon, but Hellmuth’s spirits are stronger and keep her from burning. They witness Yolanda’s spirit join Hellmuth’s collection.
+* Brumrik checks out the battle and finds that the older battle consisted of a community (not just warriors), and were not all brought here at different times...maybe sacrificed here? Many of them have burn marks. The newer group all died in the same battle. There is a path of destruction leading up the mountain (Hellmuth thinks by fire giants), and it seems like some of the tracks are from the tunic folk.
+* Balricstein identifies the crest as that of the town of XX.
+* Hellmuth builds a funeral pyre. Yolanda has a statuete of a wizard lady or something worth 25gp.
+* As Brumrik eyes Yolanda’s quiver, Hellmuth explains how his people enchanted their arrows to melt upon contact...they were called “greyarrows”.
+* Brumrik takes the quiver, and 5 arrows laying around.
+* After looting, they stuff a longbow+1 in Uligul’s bag of holding that requires a strength check 
+* As night falls on the party, Uligul, Hellmuth and Balricstein setup camp while Brumrik hunts and collects 4 rabbits. Their zombies dig a ditch to sleep in, and they spoon all night with flat bear as a blanket.
+* The next morning, they crest a hill and feel warmer amidst the bitter wind. They notice a sea or orange. As they creep forward, Balricstein trips and almost gives up their position but Hellmuth catches him.
+* There’s a weird haze that seems to be steam.
+* There are pools of lava in a few places, but also frozen bodies and several piles of bones.
+* The steam reveals itself to be the ice creatures encountered before the cave.
+* While creeping forward, Hellmuth and Brumrik slip and draw attention from the fuckers. The pool of magma becomes a guy of magma.
+* The ice mephits multiply outrageously, and the group decides to book it.
+* Uligul sends forth his zombies (Charles and Boots McGee) to sacrifice for us
+* The team escapes with 1 ice mephit on their tail. Brumrik shoots him, and Balricstein blasts him.
+* After an hour, we see part of the rock face appear glassy blue an emitting light.
+* As they approach the cave entrance, Hellmuth/Brumrik/Balric go in and Uligul stays behind.
+* In the cave, evidence of a struggle surrounds them. They come upon a doorway covered in ice (intentionally).
