Eskil Ryndarien was put on trial for the attack, but the party intervened and proved his innocence. The party defeated her and with the dragon dead, the people of Westruun were freed from the ice. The party gave chase, finding themselves in a frozen world where the woman revealed her true form: the white dragon Skysunder. The party, shielded from the icy blast by a merchant named Noja, saw a nude woman with long, white hair emerge from the crystal, open a portal and leap through. ĭuring the Winter's Crest season, a strange blue crystal was delivered to Westruun in the name of Archmage Eskil Ryndarien, and it froze the entire populace in ice.

A dwarf named Kradin Grimthorne then approached them and offered to represent them in a nearby underground fighting ring, where they fought their way in to victory. They returned it to Vina, fulfilling their contract. The party accepted a new mission and headed to the Shadebarrow, an ancient druidic burial chamber, to defeat an iron golem and tear the Arcane Cortex from its chest. The group returned to Ryndarien, and the ritual succeeded.ĭrez Vina, displeased, approached the party to demand that their debt be paid off. After speaking with the nymph, Grog followed her back to her dimensional sanctuary and returned holding a jewel gifted by the nymph: her 'heart'. From there, they traveled to the Frostweald and encountered a single unfrozen pool of water inhabited by a nymph. There, they met, befriended, and freed from imprisonment the human gunslinger Percival de Rolo, who joined the party. The party traveled to the Umbra Hills, where they slayed an infernal messenger and his Nightmare steed.

Ryndarien also told them that if the phylactery was not removed in time, the lich would be reborn within Grog in two weeks. He sent the party to collect two items he required for a ritual to rid Grog of the phylactery: the skull of a Nightmare and the Heart of a Nymph. They decided against stealing the box, instead asking the keeper of the tower, Realmseer Eskil Ryndarien, for help. Hoping to speak with this Archmage, the party accepted the task and made their way to the top of the tower. While looking for help, the party was approached by Drez Vina, who offered to pay them well to infiltrate the tower of an Archmage and retrieve a box for him. He managed to complete the ritual and embed his phylactery into Grog's chest before the party killed him. Joined by Pike, they discovered a crypt in the mountain where they found Grog and the reanimated corpse of his father Stonejaw Strongjaw, controled by a dying mage attempting a ritual to lichdom. In Westruun, they met his childhood friend Pike Trickfoot, who said that Grog had been acting strangely and went off on his own towards the looming Gatshadow Mountain. Grog left to return to his hometown of Westruun, but after a few weeks, the party began to worry and went to look for him.

Their mission lead them to a chamber containing a planar rift that pulled the group into the plane of the undead fetal-formed deity Crysa-Thul, who revealed that their contract with the elven merchant was merely a ruse to lure here so the god could feed on them. They found a job board posting from Fendril Vas, the elven head of a small merchant empire, who hired the group to investigate a new competition in town known as the Myriad. The team, originally comprised of Grog Strongjaw, Tiberius Stormwind, Scanlan Shorthalt, Keyleth, Vax'ildan and Vex'ahlia, met in the swamp town of Stilben as a ragtag group of mercenaries in search of work.
