What happened in the previous episode?
Welcome to Legends of Avantris. I'm Queenie, and you're listening to Icebound. Here's what happened last time.
This is the same silhouette he saw in the light of a star. It's the same. You race forward, drawing your weapons, drawing your magics, stealing yourself for a fight with the unknown and hoping you will live to see the other side. Taishan. It's gonna be a tantrum. The sea is calm. The sky is clear. The day is young. You think of your duty to tend the light and of the lives you will never know. No more running. It's time to embrace this. You reach up and you grab the top of the hood and you yank down. Perhaps what Queenie was suspecting, you see in horror, the face of Taishen within the cloak. Taishen looks frozen eyed, staring up. You take 120 damage and the cloak falls to the ground, slumps into a pile and collapses against the frozen cavern floor.
Nothing makes any sense. Nothing is going the way we need it to. Everything is all messed up and topsy-turvy.
How does this place keep moving us around?
You blink, and it is... Oh, whoops. white and blues and grays all around you, and you are looking at the bodies of your friends in snow, howling winds all around you, you realize immediately you are on the top of the tower.
Fight, fight, whatever you are, whether I know you or not. Give me the warmth. Save my friends. Fine. We're losing our minds. This is not real. We have to be prepared to face it. We'll light this on fire now. Every time we've encountered the cloak, it's reset everything.
Nick, we have to just light it without engaging it.
You're right.
The fire will get down to the basement.
It's all going to go. This flame ignites, and you can all feel the heat. You feel the glass raining down. There's this slow... Shift. The creature in front of you melts. What will happen next? Is this the end? Is this all there ever will be? Answer me one question and you can go. Have you accepted anything from it during your time there? No.
No?
No.
I tried. I tried.
For your friends, this will be painless. This will not be easy for you. In the blink of an eye, you all find yourselves back in Drakkar, landed on an ice sheet. You will be reduced one death saving throw for the remainder of the campaign. Oh! You're where the tower should be. You're somewhere towards the end of the second month of the next year. 42 days have gone by.
You have just awoken as though from a dream. The feeling of timeless lifetime ceases to distort and warp before you and you come back into yourself in the frozen lands of Drakkar. The memories of your strange experience at the tower, on an island, at a lighthouse, on the ocean, off the coast, within some other place and perhaps some other time, your strange experience collapses and folds and shrinks away into the recesses of your mind. Blinking, you realize it is the dead of night. The sky is cloudless and the moon is full. Looking around, you all stand haphazard on a familiar ice sheet.
Who is Taishen and what is his significance?
It is as though you were all trekking together moments ago before stopping here in mad silence. It feels impossible. And in some ways, you are glad for the biting cold that is already numbing your face and freezing your body. You are wholly here. Barnabas, you feel closer to the ocean here than you have in months. Despite seemingly being on a coastal island moments ago, it is impossible to know how much ice separates you from the sea, but when you touch the shell at your side, you know deep down waves still surge beneath your feet, which brings you some comfort.
I'm back.
Yornir, your eye scans the horizon, the stars, the moon and its fullness in moments you know two things with absolute certainty. You are standing where the tower was when you first encountered it five months ago, and again you have lost time to it. It is the 23rd day of the second month, the heart of winter. The hateful star in the sky appears no more. Queenie, instinctively you reach out for your magical companions, remembering the hurt they suffered during your shared experience. Your bond is as strong as ever, and you see those familiar spirits spring to your side with the same urgency, checking in to make sure all is well with you in return. Scrim, you are trembling even before the cold hits you. You feel cursed.
