Session 078: Frostmaiden & Ice Prophet - Caves of Hunger Report

General Summary

Ceilings. Most cavern ceilings are 30 feet high and made of smooth ice.
Tunnel ceilings range from 10 to 15 feet high unless otherwise noted.

Darkness. All areas are cast in complete darkness unless otherwise noted.
  Echoes. Sound travels quickly here. All Wisdom (Perception) checks to hear sounds in these caves have advantage.

  Ice Slides. As remorhazes burrow through ice, the heat radiating from their bodies smooths out the sides of the tunnels behind them to a glass-like finish. Many of these passages are severely sloped, creating ice slides. Descending an ice slide is easy; climbing one is another matter. A character needs crampons or other climbing gear to ascend one of these slippery passages.

 
The party jumped down a hole into a cave with a remorhaze mother swimming around a pool of steaming water.  Jekkar dominated it, & was able to get a mental image of the area from their telepathic connection.
Krystallia tried to see if she could tame it, & was unable to get through to it.
 
Jekkar commanded the mother remorhaze to sit in the tunnels where it split off into the Underdark/Inner Thylea/Inner Earth.
 
Wanting to see a creature that his telepathic bond told him was nearby, Jekkar directed attention to that area.
 
People made their way there, after Jekkar quickly killed the mother remorhaze, hoping that it was a merciful death for her.  
 
Flying out of the tunnel, Jekkar came upon a frozen tree grove, that was tended to by a Nymph.  She told them of black skinned people nearby (to the west) that she didn't speak to.  She told them that she was prevented from leaving by some Netherese magio cast upon the area.
 
Smarágdia was overcome with hunger after coming out of a cave, & almost jumped on a downed Vampire Kobold.  Aetheria, Pyra, & Neptune all saw this, & are keeping an eye her.
 
Making their way to the beast, Ollidak was dominated & used his indomitable spirit, & legendary resistance to overcome the mental attack.
Euadne realized that he creature was mentally present & yet not physically present.  She used the ruby gate to bring to them the rest of their immediate pantheon.  Bringing everyone with them.
Coming to the fallen Netherese city, Pyra pointed out the location of the Frostmaiden, & the Ice Elemental Evil.
 
Pyra, Aetheria, & Neptune spoke with Euadne about Smarágdia's hunger.
Hulgnir saw a vision of: Auril, a White Dragon (with a dead rider on it's saddle), a Humanoid woman, & a tower of ice, in a Dragon cave of ice.
