Frjya summon up a ball of ice and threw it right at the creature.

Freyr presses the attack again as the alchemical oil burns at the troll's flesh and it's healing slows.

The combined might of the group is too much and the troll falls. The alchemical oils stop the regeneration and it is at long last dead. Though some luck and good tactics what could have been an impressive foe is fallen.

As you are all settled back in the clearing to look at the portal and work out what to do next a surge of wind suddenly blasts from the swirling vortex in the ring of icicles, gusting outward in a stinging spray of snow and ice. Suddenly, a gaunt horseman with curling ram’s horns and wearing coal- black armor lurches through the portal astride a black warhorse, surrounded
by tendrils of cold, dark mist. The rider slumps in the saddle, a shard of blue ice jutting from his back. As rider and mount come to a halt in the snow, the horse suddenly dissipates into black smoke, and the horseman falls to the ground with a groan.

Some of you would know that he horseman is the Black Rider, one of Baba Yaga’s Three Riders who herald her return to Irrisen every 100 years.

So... no big deal I am sure.

What ya doing now folk?

"Whoah..... Who is the guy with the horns and the disappearing horse?" Taya says warily as the stranger appears and collapses to the ground.

Freyr grunts as the troll finally hits the ground, no longer moving. "Trolls are always a nuisance," he grumbles, absently flicking the creature's blood off of his blade before checking to make sure the flaming oil did it's job and he's actually dead. Satisfied that the troll won't be getting back up any time soon, he lets the others go over the troll's horde while he keeps watch. Which proves to be a wise decision as the portal bursts to life and a figure from the nightmares of many Irrisani emerges from the swirl of ice and snow. "Get back," he orders. "Right now." It takes him a moment to see the bloody spear of ice in the Rider's back. What could possibly harm one of Baba Yaga's heralds so? "What could do this?" he asks, speaking aloud almost by accident.

"BLACK RIDER!" Frjya cried out as she ran the the herald's side. This rider along with the other two, truly were a piece of Irrisani nightmare. She remembered stories of these riders but had never seen one till now... And knowing they were Baba Yaga's heralds, worried what could have become of them if the Black Rider was in such a bad state. Without regard to the snow under her, Frjya kneels next to the rider, looking the man over. "How come you to be here horseman? Who would strike at such a Herald as yourself? And what of White and Red?" Though she asked many questions, Frjya's voice was calm and she tried to pace them out enough for him to gather his thoughts.


Male Know Checks | Iron Gods Map ---- Jade Regent Maps ------ Reign of Winter Maps

The mighty Black Rider stirs at the sound of Frjya's voice. He looks at her and to the dead troll, in that he moment makes a decision. His terrifying vissage slips away and laying on the ground is a old, balding, human male who is exhausted and pail from blood loss, probably close to death.

"I am no threat now, be calm. You killed the troll, impressive. Once, I was called Illarion Matveius. Now I am known as Black Midnight. I am Baba Yaga’s Black Rider, harbinger of the Witch Queen’s return. I have been brought low by the servants of Queen Elvanna, ruler of Irrisen and betrayer of her own mother. The other riders... I do not know.”

With the defeat of the troll Kleora felt a wash of relief, one that quickly faded when they stumbled on the black rider. She wasn't sure what was going on just then but she knew it was significant. It also showed that Freyr and Frjya were much more important and mysterious than she had at first thought. This smacked of secrets to be learned and she knew she'd need to get them to speak soon.

As the rider began to speak Kleora was silent and listened intently as he spoke about the return of someone called Baba Yaga, the apparent Queen Mother of Irrisen, wherever that was, and how the queen betrayed this rider and her Mother somehow. It was all quite intriguing, and confusing, and while she wanted more information Kleora felt it was best to ask her questions afterwords as the man seemed unlikely to last and she suspected the siblings could answer the questions themselves.


Male Human (Jadwiga) Ranger (Witchguard) 4 | HP: 22/38 NL: 17 | AC: 17, FF: 15, T: 12 | CMD: 20 | Fort: +7, Reflex: +6, Will: +3 | Init: +2, Perc: +9

Freyr can't keep a look of utter shock off his face as the injured rider speaks. "Elvanna did what?!" Their mother, or anyone in their family, being treacherous was hardly a surprise. But to think that she'd actually attempted to betray Baba Yaga... and worse seemed to be succeeding. "What happened?"


Male Know Checks | Iron Gods Map ---- Jade Regent Maps ------ Reign of Winter Maps

“Something has happened to Baba Yaga. Every hundred years, she returns to Irrisen to placea new daughter on the throne. But Queen Elvanna has other plans, it seems. Baba Yaga has not appeared as planned, and Elvanna intends to slay everyone loyal to her mother. She hunted down those of us who would herald Baba Yaga’s return and slew my associates. I am the last of the Three Riders, at least I am told, and a threat to Elvanna’s plans.”

"Elvanna’s plans to take Baba Yaga’s place, and claim all of Golarion as her personal kingdom. Irrisen is a land of endless winter, created by Baba Yaga’s magic. Elvanna seeks to cover the entire world in ice and snow, using portals like this one.”

He locks eyes with Frjya, he sees something but is not sure what. After a moment he makes his decision. "“You must find Baba Yaga. Only Baba Yaga can defeat Elvanna. Only the Queen of Witches can undo what her daughter has done.”

Kleora listened to what this strange man had to say and felt a dawning realization about why she was sent to that village. An eternal winter would end everything and The Green Mother's plants would whither and die. Kleora nodded and asked, "And how do we find this...Baba Yaga?"


10234 XP

Frjya held Illarion Matveius's hand, gently giving it a squeeze. "I'll find grandmother, and help her stop my mother." Frjya promised. "You have my word Illarion Matveius."

"Good question." Frjya said when Kleora asked her question. "How do we find Baba Yaga? At least a path to start on would be helpful..."


Male Human (Jadwiga) Ranger (Witchguard) 4 | HP: 22/38 NL: 17 | AC: 17, FF: 15, T: 12 | CMD: 20 | Fort: +7, Reflex: +6, Will: +3 | Init: +2, Perc: +9

"So mother has managed to outmaneuver a demigod." Freyr sighs, not seeing a point in hiding it any longer if Fryja was going to give up the charade. "This is just lovely... Though I suppose risking life and limb trying to do something about it is better than sitting around and waiting for her to take over the world."


Magus2/Swash1 HP 18/18 | AC18 T14 FF14 | F+3 R+7 W+3 | CMD 17 | Init +7 | Per+8 | AP 2/4 | PP 3/4 Spells Cast:

"Wait a second.... "

to the old black rider guy:

"First, what was that about covering the world in eternal winter?"

then turning to Frjya and Freyr:

Second, who's your mother?"


female human psychic 4 | HP 18/18 | AC 12, T 12, FF 10 | F +2, R +4, W +5 | CMB +1, CMD 12 | Init +2 | Lowl-light Vision; Perception +7 | Phrenic Pool (Su) 4/4 per day | Spells : 1st 7/7, 2nd 4/4 | (SP) detect thoughts (dc 15) 1/1

Kleora nodded and said, "Both are good questions Tayanalla, though the first is self-explanatory I thought the second could wait for the moment. They are our companions, as mysterious as they have been about some things, and I don't think there is anything they could reveal that would make me mistrust them." She smiled slightly as she continued, "We all have our secrets, it is as it should be, though sometime they must be brought out into the light. While I think the time for their's is near I don't know that it can't wait a short time longer."

The smile on Kleora's face turned somewhat mysterious as she continued, "We all should have a talk about our reasons for being here and getting involved in this. I think it will be quite illuminating to all of us."


10234 XP

Frjya looked to Tayanalla a bit confused. "I told you before, after I got that fey to leave us be. Queen Elvanna is my and Freyr mother. We are the youngest of all her children. This also makes us the grandchildren of Baba Yaga. She who took Irrisen 1400 years ago with a force of winter creatures. She set up a vast area of which she placed her daughter upong the throne of. In all those years not once has Irrisen seen spring... However it has never gone beyond the boarders till now. It would seem my mother has turned against grandmother, and now wishes to wash all of the world in the eternal ice of Irrisen." Frjya tried to explain. "If she dared to openly attack Baba Yaga... I fear what else mother would do..." Frjya looked to Freyr and slightly slightly. "I'm glad you see now that running isn't the answer."

Frjya paused for a moment, before she reached up and pulled on the bind that held her jeweled necklace against her skin to reveal a long scar that wrapped all the way around her neck and it stood out against he fair pale skin. "My own sister did this to me... A lot more than this... Actually.... This is why Freyr wanted to get me out of Irrisen. This portal gave us that chance. But I couldn't leave... Not truly." Frjya sighed sadly as she solemnly ran over her scar. "I thought, if my own kin could do this to me... How badly do my people suffer? So when Freyr gave us the chance to go to a new area I agreed... But not run, but to find people who would help me stand against my family... If not for me, than for the people of Irrisen, who deserve so much more! They deserve to see the other seasons, to not fear the one who rules them... Yet I know, it is a lot to ask..."

Doh! forgot that we were told all of that, in fact I think I missed it completely somehow. Sorry bout that.

I did find it odd that no one said a thing about it but I figured they didn't believe her! XD

I think I either missed it completely or got distracted after reading and didn't realize I never reacted because that was a pretty big deal.

The old man looks at Frjya and Freyr, squinting, before speaking again.

"I see it now. My time is short... you talk talk to each other soon."

He takes a ragged breath and you can see his time is indeed short. Whatever magics had kept him powerful are truly gone.

"“You can find the source the powers the portals in the Pale Tower, on the other side, but this portal is but one of many. Through them, Elvanna will spread a new ice age across your world, consuming it for all eternity. Closing this portal might save your kingdom, but Golarion would still be doomed.”

Another ragged breath this time with some foam of blood at his lips.

"To stop this all you must find Baba Yaga. Only Baba Yaga can defeat Elvanna. Only the Queen of Witches can undo what her daughter has done. use her Dancing Hut to follow her. The hut is a powerful artifact that can cross great distances, even travel between worlds. If you can control the hut, it can take you to Baba Yaga.”

“Elvanna stole the hut and put it on display in Irrisen’s capital, Whitethrone, as a symbol of her power. You must go through the portal to Irrisen and find the Dancing Hut. The hut has many keys— objects attuned to the hut—that can take it almost anywhere. I managed to secure two of these keys, but Elvanna stole their power to prevent anyone from using the hut to find her mother. Once they are reactivated, placing the keys in the hut’s cauldron will retrace Baba Yaga’s path.”

His breathing is shallow and you know he will not have much time.

"Will you take up my charge. Find Baba Yaga?"


Male Human (Jadwiga) Ranger (Witchguard) 4 | HP: 22/38 NL: 17 | AC: 17, FF: 15, T: 12 | CMD: 20 | Fort: +7, Reflex: +6, Will: +3 | Init: +2, Perc: +9

"Our family has always been on the wrong side of sane and cruel to boot. I consider myself exceedingly fortunate to be born attached to one of the few decent people among the Elvanna." The warrior nods to his sister. "I was hoping that we could get away from all that, but it seems like fate has decided that we won't be getting away from our family's machinations for quite some time." Freyr sighs in defeat as the Rider pushes them back on topic and explains the more immediately pertinent of the group's questions. In truth, he couldn't walk away, even if he wanted to. Subjecting the whole world to their mother's grip wasn't something that he could do in good faith. "I don't see many other options," he deadpans as the Rider makes his request of them.

"I heard what you said earlier, but I thought it was just northern delusions of grandeur."

"Can't say that I'm a fan of eternal winter blanketing the world, so I guess I'll help."


Male Know Checks | Iron Gods Map ---- Jade Regent Maps ------ Reign of Winter Maps

The nearly dead Black Rider nods at Freyr's speech. He looks to the others and, as no one else speaks, takes Freyr to speak for the entier group. He pulls two items from a pouch. a lock of white hair from a frost giant’s beard and a plague doctor’s mask.

"These, despite the look, are the keys. Take them. Each is to a destination to search. I...." a cough racks his body "I will reactivate them."

Before anyone can react he draws a small blade and slashes his own throat allowing the blood to flow over the lock of beard and mask, both of which absorb the blood. As the light leaves his eyes hos cloak, armor and and weapons simply melt away into the ground leaving nothing but the fail body of an old man in a simple tunic.

Deep in your hearts you feel that you have each taken on the mantel of the Black Rider. There are benefits and burden. You feel your abilities grow and know that you are marked as a favored servant of Baba Yaga. You also feel that you are compelled to go in search of Baba Yaga and insure her return to Irrisen.

Mechanics:

You each get a +2 bonus to the stat of your choice.

That was exciting. Now what will you do?

"It doesn't look like this new job has a very good retirement plan...." Taya quips as the rider fades away to become an old man.

"So we have to go to Irisen to find a 'Dancing Hut'?"


Male Human (Jadwiga) Ranger (Witchguard) 4 | HP: 22/38 NL: 17 | AC: 17, FF: 15, T: 12 | CMD: 20 | Fort: +7, Reflex: +6, Will: +3 | Init: +2, Perc: +9

Freyr braces himself as the cloak fades to nothing and all that remains of the fearsome Black Ride is the body of an ancient man who lived far too long. He can feel the arcane power of them mantle settle over him like a weight on his shoulders and he muscles flex and bulge for a moment as he feels power filling his limbs. "The Dancing Hut is exactly what it sounds like. It's a magical hut on legs that Baba Yaga has traveled in for as long as anyone can remember. If the Rider spoke the truth, then it's in the capitol as a display piece now. At least it won't be going anywhere..."

Kleora felt the mantle of the Black Rider lay upon her and felt some knew understanding suffuse her being. She could tell she knew a new language, and she felt like she had some perceptions on the motivations of others. She also felt her psychic abilities increase in potency. The only downside was that she was now partly bound to another being of power much like her own. After a few moments consideration Kleora decided that this was acceptable as the Green Mother wouldn't have allowed it if it weren't her will.

Kleora listened to what was said with interest and finally responded, "I suppose, looking back, you were serious about your connections. I could have proven this if I looked into your mind but I tend to avoid that without permission most of the time." She sighed as she said, "Once we get somewhere more comfortable I'll tell you of my own reasons for being here, reasons that become far more clear with what we have just learned."

Frjya being the closest has been the one to take the items from the rider. She was about to ask how when the answer came before the question in the worst way. There she stayed, kneeling in the snow, eyes wide with shock. But it was more than that, her eyes flashed as her mind was filled with arcane knowledge. Things that she hand't even dreamed of before. It took more then a moment to shake herself free of her shock.

"It is said that Baba Yaga uses it to travel across planes and more." Frjya said as she slowly stood from were she knelt. "If we're going to get to the Dancing Hut, we must go to Irrisen. We must go to the capitol known as Whitethrone. Freyr and I know Whitethrone well.... It is our home after all. Also everything is covered in snow and ice and... it is possible that people are looking for Freyr and myself. I say we look for a key from the troll, unlock that chest if we can and hopefully it can be something we can use. For I have a feeling we're going to need it."

"Well there is another way to tell." Frjya said as she pulled her glove off and held her hand out for all to see. Upon it was a ring with a signet of a royal house, the one of Irrisen, upon it. "This, plus how I look and... well my magic is an open tell to many who know what to look for..."

"You are a great deal more ethical with your powers than the vast majority of our relatives," Freyr adds. "And you have my respect for that, among other things." His tone is hardly different from his usual gruff muttering, but he does at least seem sincere in his compliment. "But Fryja has a point. We were in the process of running away from home when this whole mess drew us right back in. We're going to need to watch our backs. Mother has eyes everywhere and they'll be on the lookout for trouble."

Kloera nodded slightly and said, "Similar to this yes, though they didn't go to the same place as this one I am sure." She considered how much to tell her companions and then decided on not leaving any holes. "Back home the women of my family serve as devotees to the Fey eldest." She considered carefully how to word the next part and then continued, "I am not a priestess as you understand it but more of an...agent."

Kloera shook her head as she tried to focus back on the topic at hand causing her long red hair to swish along her front from inside her hood, "Anyway we have a few portals to the First World there and I have been through them before." She nodded at the portal before them, "Presumably this is the same you just step through."

"That worked for us on the way here," Freyr agrees. "Though we were a bit busy running to notice anything particularly odd about it. As for the actual metaphysical part... well, you'll have to ask Fryja about that, or maybe Nezhena if she doesn't try to kill us on sight. It's traditional that only the women in our family learn witchcraft. Men are taught more physical pursuits." He shifts his scabbard on his back, adjusting the strap across his chest. "Still, nowhere to go but forward, I suppose."

Wrapped up as best you can the group moves onward stepping though the portal. The passage is almost a non-event. A little flip of the stomach and an odd shift of balance as step out into COLD. Really really cold, hovering around negative five degrees.

Snow is falling lightly but ominous clouds tell you that this light snow will get much harder soon. A storm is coming!

In better news off in this distance, away from the clouds, you see the unmistakable lights of civilization. Also you hear a commotion though a grove of trees. People yelling and a clicking sound.

Freyr adjusts his cloak around his shoulders and pulls the wolf fur a bit closer. "You get used to it eventually." Years of military exercises and survival training in the cold borderlands had more than inured him to the frigid cold of their homeland by now. He stops for a moment as they hear voices from ahead and Taya draws attention to the strange sound. "Seems like an insect of some kind. Not exactly common in a land where a warm day is lucky to hit zero. Let's see what's going on before it brings more trouble our way."

Kleora followed through the portal and bit back a gasp at how cold it got. The frigid air was unbelievable. "How can you live in this hellhole of cold?!" She was chattering horribly but she was bundled up enough that the cold wouldn't get her that easily. As Freyr spoke about some insect Kleora moaned and said, "Oh great, something my spells won't work on very well."

Frjya remembered this feeling from going through it the first time. However while everyone else felt the freezing cold, Frjya just felt the winds of home. Snowtear kept under her cloak, as while the winter Fox's coat was made for this weather it was still warmer next to her witch. "You get use to the cold... Or like me immune to it." Frjya said with a small shrug, though she paused and listened for this insect her brother spoke of. Then Tayanalla headed off and Frjya followed soon after. "I agree, we should help if we can."

As repared as they can be for the cold you all step through the portal and none of you sucumb to the icy chill of the area. Fortunate for sure but you can feel that the air will continue to try and sap you life the longer you are outside.

Stumbling through deep snowdrifts,you soon happen upon a band of local travelers. These are peasants from the nearby village of Waldsby, returning with a shipment of food from the east.

Know Geography or Local DC15:
They are a trading group returning from the Realm of the Mammoth Lords.

The travelers have come under attack from a giant mantis—a monster that once made its lair in the Border Wood in Taldor, but crossed through the portal into Irrisen. Confused by the cold weather and voraciously hungry, the mantis attacked and grabbed one of the travelers, who now lies unconscious in its mandibles. The peasants are trying to drive the mantis away, but are no match for the giant insect. The mantis is unaccustomed to the severe cold, and is currently unable to fly.

"Those travelers are coming from the east. Isn't the Realm of the Mammoth Lords to the east of here?" Taya asks Freyr.

"Come on, let's help those people" She says to the group and starts heading down the track towards the fight.

Tayanalla move's up behind the giant bug.

"Right behind you!" Frjya said as she ran through the snow behind Tayanalla.

Double move

"You are correct. One of the few places that we get nearby trade since the Linnorm Kings are less than fond of us." He has little time to say more before the others rush ahead to attempt to intercept the giant mantis. "That certainly does not belong here. Let's get rid of it before it decides to try to eat someone."

Also double move!

Kleora moved forward as she unslung her crossbow and then loaded a bolt into it so she could attack from a distance.

The members of the craven slip back as you approach. Two of them throw spears as the retreat but neither can connect. The mantis spins, hearing you approach, it stomps through the snow and swings a clawed arm at Freyr.

Mantis: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

The arm misses its target by a good amount.

"I'll hit it from the right side." Taya says to Freyr as she darts right and then inside the beast's guard with her rapier to stab it.

rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

crit confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

crit damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

If it attacks her she will parry with her rapier and strike back.

parry with rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

riposte: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

"Then I'm going in from the left I guess." Freyr steps to the other side of the mantis and delivers a heavy swing, attempting to sunder straight through the huge insect's carapace.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 = 18

Frjya came into the fray as well, bringing her quarter staff around to hit on the large bug.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

However her skills in combat were not that of her brothers.

In a decent position to fire from Kleora aimed her crossbow and caressed the trigger. As she did a bolt leapt from the weapon across the distance
but her efforts to avoid her companions combined with the poor footing in the snow caused her to nearly fall and the bolt went shooting off nowhere near her target.

Tayanalla and Freyr land heavy blows but cannot quite bring the creature down. It wont take much to kill the giant bug but it seems that the traders are not good enough with their spears to cause it any damage at all.

Mantis: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Fortunately for the group and the traders the cold weather has made the mantis rather inept and it misses its attack on Tayanalla.
