Hanud continues to close in on the enemgy, as fast as his short legs allow, Jazmine shows him once again once of the advantages of being a tall elf. Grigori, being between the two in size takes his time advancing, but uses his initial position to best advantage.
Zimti... waits.
Ozak vanishes and then reappears with a shadow lodge agents blood on his blade. Then he vanishes again. The surprised agent is about to retaliate when Darius takes off his arm.
Surprised, three of the shadow agents pull out bows and try to finish the greatsword wielder from range. All miss.
Another throws a flaming greataxe at the Skald.
It hits!
But the skald seems to have an almost divine level of protection, and apart from a few small burns is almost undamaged. The axe flies back to its wielder.

Jazmine advances, while Giggles tries to bit the shadow agent, but gets only a mouthful of armour.
Ozak advances invisibily and slashes at one of the shadow agents. Normaly the man would have been able to deflect the blow, but the ninja's invisiblity gives him the edge. The blow strikes cleanly, but is not a killing one.
Darius charges the axe wielder, and scores a good blow, but not enough to down the axe wielder. He is a little surprised to realise the wielder is a woman.
Grigori continues to close on the battle.
The axe wielder steps back and drinks a potion
One of the agents moves up between her and Darius, attacking him with a longsword.
The one facing off against Ozak also attacks him.
And the last one facing Giggles attacks the dinosaur.
The Kelid ready throwing axes, but as the pathfinders are in melee don't risk throwing them just yet.

Suddenly, Grigori begins to look quite attractive to the axe-wielding warioress. With an inviting hand gesture for her to come to him, the priest mutters a prayer to his goddess in between his comic attacks on the Shadow Lodge agents' morale, and gives the axewoman a confident gaze and an inviting wink...

Hanud charges forward. And swings hard against the shadow agent.
Ozak plies his dual blades, scoring a light wound with one of them. Darius has less luck, with his blade being deflected by the man he is facing.
Grigori however just gives a salacious wink to the (to be honest, rather attractive) axewoman.
She shakes her head in disgust.

Giggles is unable to land a solid blow on the agent he is facing. Seeing hte problem, the Kelid fan out to provide assistance to Hanud and Giggles.
Nearby two more try the same tactic to help out Ozak and Darius.
The formidable defences of the shadow agents seem less impressive when they are surrounded. [ooc]Aid-another bonus's in status below. Don't forget you will also get an extra +2 from flanking
The shadow agents strike back
The axe wielder steps up to Darius and swings at him again.
The skald takes another minor wound and burns.

Axe wielder
Hanud floors the Shadow lodge agent in front of him with a mighty blow. Ozak is a little more precise, disabling the warrior in front of him. He drops his weapon in surrender - also because his hand is busy trying to hold in his inners.
The axe wielder still resists the apparently obvious charms of Grigori. Maybe she just doesn't swing that way?

Jazmine steps forward protectively but fails to hurt the axe wielding shadow lodge maniac.
Giggles has less problems with his prone target and rips the agent to shreds. Obviously inspired by the dinosaur, Darius knocks the agent in front of him to the ground where his lies unmoving.
Suddenly without allies, the axe wielder takes a slightly more defensive stance as a wave of pain and suffering spreads out from her.
Everyone takes damage
Darius then steps up and removes her head.
Combat over
The lands are suddenly silent, the pristine white snow trampled and soaked in blood - luckily that of the shadow lodge agents rather than the pathfinders and their Kelid allies.
The burning axe lies on the ground in a pile of melted snow.
"We must return the axe to the tomb of the Huskkarl!" says the Kelid chief.

"Like that Grigi? Hihihi!" Darius says as he picks up the head and plants a little kiss on the womans lips.
"You were wonderful my dear." and then he callously tosses the head to Grigori, blood splattering everywhere.
"All yours!"

Grigori scoffs at Darius' disrespectful treatment of the axewoman's head. "I suppose a turtleneck vwould do for the showing..." Taking the head gently into his hands, he shakes his head at Darius, then places hers (roughly) where it once belonged. He then recites a brief prayer for the newly departed.
To the kellids, "By all means. Vwe shall accompany you if you vwish." Having served his community for years as a mortician, the priest arranges the dead woman's arms in a relaxed pose, pondering her best arrangement while he waits for everyone to start moving. "Or perhaps a heavy necklace... and carnelians to match her lovely hair..."

With slow respect the team aids Hiryla and his warriors in replacing Jedrek’s Shard and reburying the keep’s entrance with a new avalanche of rock, ice, and snow.
After this you are taken back to the vilalge where Hiryla pledges his tribe's support to the Society. To cement their new alliance, Hiryla grants each of you honorary status as Snowmask Brothers or Snowmask
Sisters in a ritual induction ceremony into the tribe.
I won't go into details but it involves getting very cold. Darius and Grigori (and potentially some of the others) enjoy the entheusatic manner in which the Snowmask tribe warms themselves up afteward though!
Chronicles are now available. Please check them.
Congratulations on completing the mission. I think I summarised at the end of each scenario what you had done, but if anyone wants the story recapping, let me know.
