<p><b>"If you and the family Patriarch would be so kind, I'd love to get in touch with some of the higher ups. I'd be glad to deliver any correspondence you may have."</b> Sheela grins as the Trolltooths think things over and agree to hear more.</p>

<p>At the Kolphan manor, Sheela flops her shoes and tosses them towards the manor, where a few servants catch them and run off to return them to the proper closet.

<p>The murmurs intensify further as Spackle talks about King Alvard's deal with the fey, and erupts into outright alarm when the huldra, Olissara materializes in the midst of the longhouse. After the council members get the crowd to settle down, they address Olissara. <b>"O mighty guardian of the wood, is what these people have said of our ancient king true? Did he indeed fail to honor his word to you and seek to silence the one who would reveal his failure?"</b></p>
<p>Olissara looks around grimly at the people of Frostbreach, who had honored the man who betrayed his word for so long. <b>"Yes, it's true,"</b> she says at last, <b>"The king came to our woods when he was young, seeking glory and a crown for his head. We gave him passage through the woods so that he could hunt his linnorm, and he vowed to...well, it doesn't matter what he vowed now. All that's important is that he broke his word after he got what he wanted. Decades passed and a new warrior, Kolvi, came to the Wilds to seek her own glory. She paid proper respect, though, so we were glad to allow her to pass. Alvard came after her with a posse of his men, though, to keep her from gaining a crown of her own to challenge him. It was not his place, but he had been driven to it by the linnorm's curse. He was haunted by its spirit, you see, so he could not abide another to supplant him, even if they were worthy to do so."</b> Olissara moves toward the doors then, ready to depart, but turns and adds, <b>"The rest of what these ones have said is true. Trust them, and remember us. We are watching."</b> With that the huldra vanishes, leaving a flurry of snowflakes in its wake.</p>
<p>The council meeting doesn't last long after that. With your testimony and that of Olissara, the entire assembly is soon in agreement that Kolvi was no witch and that, even if she had killed the king, her punishment should have been banishment. The Coalbraids and Trolltooths come to terms with one another at last, and the story of the Jarlsblood Witch is rewritten to tell of Kolvi the Linnormguard, who protected the town from the return of Alvard's linnorm for centuries.</p>
<p>With the story finally rewritten, you are invited to be honored guests at a reconciliation feast. The wounds of the generations-long feud are difficult to heal, but the process begins with your work to bring the truth to light. Likewise, the centuries-old Jarlsblood Witch Saga resists revision at first, but the equally dramatic addendum of your exploits quickly gains traction with bards and skalds throughout the Lands of the Linnorm Kings.</p>
<p>Venture-Captain Bjersig Torrsen is pleased to learn of your success and congratulates you on a job well done when you return to report to him. He books you all passage back to Absalom (or wherever you're bound next) and provides each of you a glowing recommendation to take back to Lady Gloriana Morilla. He also ensures that she receives a shorter report through magical means so that she can act on the Ulfen Guard informant's intelligence as soon as possible. The response she sends is troubling, though: various factions and organizations in Taldor are mobilizing for something big, and the Society may discover what that is in the coming days. Lady Morilla does advise, though, that she will need some of the Society's finest on hand to mange whatever chaos results.</p>
<p>TL;DR - you win!</p>

You may not look quite as exceptional now, but there is definitely more to you than your first appearance suggests. </p>
<p>The tide truly turns when Omar chimes in mentions that the Coalbraid name could be part of his song about the tale of the Jarlsblood Witch, and that they could have a place of honor in it by helping to end the feud. <b>"It's been centuries of our tales against theirs,"</b> the archer says, <b>"I think ya might be right. It's time for the songs to come together and end well. Lads, stand down."</b> The rest of the warriors lower their weapons and move toward you, their hands extended in a gesture of peace.</p>
<p>The Coalbraid warriors accompany you back to Frostbreach, giving Omar suggestions of how he should include their family in the story and particular lines that they think would give them proper honor. As they talk with him, they also notice the chainmail and hunting horn Omar carries (taken from the bodies in the catacombs). They recognize the make of them, and say that their ancestors were said to have had gear just like that in King Alvard's days. They insist you hold on to them, though, at least for now.</p>
<p>As you make your way back toward town, Sheela feels a presence lingering just behind the party. She turns and sees a flurry of snow fall quickly as Olissara makes herself seen for just a moment before disappearing once again. It seems the huldra is indeed honoring her promise to testify about the events of Alvard's death.</p>
<p>When you finally reach Frostbreach, the small, sleepy town is absolutely buzzing with reports of the strange combat in the clouds, and rumors of the five warriors from the south who arrived and went to destroy the Jarlsblood Witch. Or was it to commune with her? No no no, it was to bring her back from the dead! Needless to say, the rumormill is running at full tilt, and no one seems to have a clear idea of what you've been up to. Worse still, all the unrest seems to have stirred up the old feud between the Trolltooths and the Coalbraids, and there's a fair deal of nasty glances and ill remarks flying around as well.</p>
<p>With emotions running high, the town council calls a meeting and summons you to learn what you were doing.

Unfortunately, the head is in such rough shape that it would be impossible to take it to the villages and become linnorm kings and queens yourselves, but at least you'll have some really great stories to share.</p>
<p>Now that the linnorm has been slain for good and Kolvi's spirit has been laid to rest, all that remains is for you to share what you know with the people of Frostbreach and work to clear her name!</p>
<p>To this end, you begin to make your way back through the Snow Elk Wilds toward Frostbreach. The trail twists, turns, and eventually crosses a small frozen creek. Two large rock outcroppings jut from the chilled earth, overlooking the nearby surroundings. </p>
<p>As you approach the stream, several figures emerge from behind the outcroppings and stand on either side of the stream, while yet another stands atop the further rock, an impressive looking bow in his hand. All of them are armed and have weapons and shields drawn, the crest of the Coalbraid family painted on each shield's boss.</p>
<p><b>"That's far enough, outsiders,"</b> calls the archer standing on the rock in the back of the group. <b>"You southern folk've been puttin' yer noses where they don' belong. Now, we know you been askin' 'bout that witch—that one what showed up in the sky and all. Well, we figure yer out ta rub the Coalbraid name down in the dirt, an' we're not gonna let ya, are we boys?"</b> The other warriors shout their agreement and shake their weapons in your direction.</p>
<p><b>"Now,"</b> the archer goes on, <b>"We Coalbraids are an honest and honorable lot, so we'll give ya a chance ta do what's right. Hand over anythin' ya found ta do with that witch, and lay down yer arms. Try anythin' funny, and let's just say the snow has a way of makin' southern folk lose their way."</b></p>
