For whatever it was before.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

"Well, it looks like to me this is something for the scholar team to study."

Placed back at the entrance.

"This winter should be fought with all means. It is the enemy of all natural", Lini states while walking to the entrance. Droogami follows closely behind.

"Zax, allow me to heal your wounds!" Kyra snatchs the wand out of his hands and uses her own. "You fell while under my protection, I shall be the one to bear the cost of your healing."

Figure placed. Don't argue with the pregen's wand ;)

Works for me!

Do not blame yourself. I knew the dangers when I approached the enemy.

It was a +1 dwarven waraxe, and Zax made the save.

Waiting at the mouth of the cavern, you find a jadwiga accompanied by a mounted guard and an ice troll. She speaks to noone in particular, ”Identify yourselves! Who are you and why are you really here?”

Kyra eyes the pair suspiciously. "Another group has already tried to dupe us. With what authority do you question us and what proof do you have to uphold it? We have permission from the Baroness herself to be in these lands."

Diplomacy?

Jayori frowns slightly, as they are accosted yet again, by the locals with problems with them being here.

"My companion's words are truthful." he adds, nodding towards Kyra. "We asked and were given permission to come here by Baroness Nadya herself, earlier this very day."

"We merely sought to learn the fate of an old settlement long since lost to the ice." He motions back at the recently opened ruin behind them. "And now we return this poor soul to his final resting place... and his fate was decided long before you or I."

He briefly considers mentioning that the Baroness' daughter accompanies them, but given the winter wolf earlier, is not sure if these new folks are here for them or her, so leaves that connection unsaid for now.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

(Move action detect evil on the jadwiga lady, though its Irrisen, so she might be evil anyway, I suppose... more concerned about immediate evil intent!)

She doesn't detect as evil.

Jayori seems to have the situation in hand, but Uliyara speaks up on your behalf just to make sure, "Peace, cousin. These are friends. They helped me return safely after the ambush at Whitethrone, and even protected me against Urgalaena's minions."

"Then they were not the ones who attacked your trade envoy?" Kiryena asks.

"No," Uliyara replies, "I suspect that was my dear aunt's work. Some of the attackers wore Saarbotten uniforms."

Once Kiryena realizes that her cousin is in no danger, her companions help you make camp for the night. Uliyara relates the full story of your adventure together in great detail and with tremendous skill, obviously an experienced storyteller. In the morning, she bids you farewell, but promises that you will meet again someday.
