Hail the Bleak Lady.

Praises to the winter lady.

Bah! Cold is just Odin's way of telling us to burn more Saxon villages!

Shivering is weakness leaving the body.

You don't look like my goddess at all.

I thought it was a Frost Giant artifact myself... I mean they use it the most...

We have a few converts among their number. We have a mutual appreciation.

I may have just had a game inspiration moment from that last sentence...

That is an artifact of the Bleak Lady and I will not allow it to fall into any other hands.

A Bizarre Form of Water May Exist All Over the Universe

Forever frozen, eternal crystal. As it should be.

Winter is coming.

Lady down the street was just spotted pouring boiling water in a ring around her car.

And the sidewalk, although I'm not quite sure icy sidewalks will inhibit Illuminati vampire assassins.

Maybe she's trying to get rid of ice and didn't have enough salt?

No, she was purposely icing the sidewalk, that stretch of sidewalk was dry as a bone earlier.

Let no stone be left bereft of the Blizzard-Maiden's grasp.

In the business we prefer "Second Winter Revival, Extended".

Oh, sure, and so is the car. Only stuck for now. After all the curves and hills and drifts we got through without problems, it slid sideways on a flat, straight stretch of road. D'oh.

you angered the snow gods.

Do not anger the snow gods.

Alternatively, anger them. I haven't axed anything in a while.

Make way! Make way! Preparations for Fimbulwinter and the coming ice age are in progress. We need to park the snow plows over here and put several metric tons of road salt in a great big pile over there. We should also ensure that we've got enough wood, charcoal, stove pellets, natural gas and propane supplies on hand that we can take care of people who might run out after the blizzards hit.

Oh! We also need a whole bunch of different styles and types of chains for people to put on their car tires. As well as bags of sand or cat litter so people can have some extra weight for traction in their vehicles. Not to mention all the ice scrapers that will be needed, and cans of pressurized alcohol to use for unfreezing door locks.

Darn! Almost forgot all the spare wool blankets that we need to have on hand just in case. Go ahead and pile them over there next to that guy sitting in the barca lounger not doing anything.

You don't need to do all that. Just sit back and let it happen.

vien, drop that zero, get with the hero!

Why would I want to be with a hero? Have you seen the people who call themselves heroes?

Of COURSE he's voting for the end of the world!

Now unsure whether I want to put Deez Nuts or Ragna rök on my 2016 ballot.

I sure as hells know I'm voting for the Fimbulwinter party.

Smite Good.

Apparently you were blind already. Nothing lost.

Alu'Vien Darkstar met her match however, as I smash her through a portal to the Osirisian desert and then I lift her up above my head and let her be bathed in super strong sunlight (which disintegrates her body and of course, kills her).

Hmm, I don't recall becoming a vampire, curious. Thank goodness for contingent true resurrection I suppose. Every cleric should have one.

Meanwhile, a freak blizzard and avalanche makes quick work of Krevon. I do so love weather magic.

You're thinking of Kytons. Devils are normally immune to Fire, though many have Cold resistance. I think Gelugons are immune to both, admittedly; they're the main ones of my kin I've had little opportunity to research, I'm afraid.

Regardless, I take full advantage of the unused glass of nitrogen and the jester's lack of immunity and encase his head in a bubble of the substance.

Not that it much matters, as Jurassic Bard comes to a frigid halt when the ambient temperature plummets by about a hundred degrees.

I imprison the Fiend in a block of ice at the depths of the Styx.

They are sufficient minions. I've had worse.

The next poster is a prospective minion. Let's see that resume.

Ragnarok is HERE!

Tomorrow, actually.

That Fimbulwinter was depressingly short. I was promised three whole years, dammit.

One at a time....

If it doesn't stop snowing... I think there may be reason to worry... because the atmosphere will run out of water one day... and since it keeps on snowing, more water must be coming from somewhere. And it's not from the oceans, since the termperature is too low for water to be vapourized...

Hopefully we'll find the Decanter of Endless Water eventually.

It's currently suspended over the UK.

I love that these blizards freezing the USA are turning into stormfronts pounding Britain. Lets hope for perpetual winter/storm in the northern hemisphere.

fimbulwinter indeed.

So, an enhanced version of the Little Ice Age?

We're about due for another ice age anyway, so it wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't the start of the next one.

Let come the Storm to End all Storms. Let the four winds bring ice and snow to all lands. Let all bonds break and the blood flow, brothers kill brothers, gods kill gods. Let the gates of darkness open wide and the ship of the damned set sail to Ragnarok. Let Fimbulwinter Come!

Winter is coming.

It is already here.

But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate.
To say that for destruction ice.
Is also great. And would suffice.

And here I thought most undead were immune to cold. That's why I use them after all.

Tomorrow the tale begins. Prepare for a dark dawn: Winter has come at last.

Good luck on the homebrew.

HOMEBREW 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!

I'll be starting my first Homebrew in years a week from Thursday.

"Let Fimbulwinter Come."

They have been whining about global warming for years and years... and every winter gets worse. I demand global warming NOW or their heads on spikes.

Nay. Let Fimbulwinter come.

We actually had a frost this morning.

Is that cold enough for you, FHDM?

No. I want my snowpocalypse.

If I recall correctly, after the Fimbul Winter fire consumes the world. Is that what you want?

Only if the Storm to End all Storms is allowed to wane.

Do I smell an Abadaran around here?!

I'm not familiar with that entity, myself. I imagine I don't come from his(?) world.

If that ruler is being a jerk and treating the citizen bad, then yes, I will liberate them.

No harm comes to a man who invites no harm. Those who continue about their business, support the city through their work or their wealth, and do not disrupt travel, trade, or the peace of the city are welcome to do as they wish. In turn they are given a thriving, prosperous, wealthy city, protected from the ravages of the Bleak Lady's ill winds and the wilds of the Ice Claw's beasts and barbarians by our walls.

Travelers whose coin and capabilities - in spell, steel, or scribe - are traded in peace and without disruption are likewise welcome. A trade city that closes its doors to outlanders is one that will wither and die, especially when that city is located on the singular route through the mountains leading to the warm lands to the south.

Those who disrupt the peace or violate these conditions, however, are punished as is the law, and their example will dissuade further such insurrections. But that is all. There is no need for pointless meager pursuit of punishment for the sake of disrupting my own city's well-being. A city that manages itself in serenity and order is all I desire. I have eternal winter to prepare; I cannot be bothered to tend to every minor infraction.

My villains tend to be more pragmatic than that.

Why burn the village down when you could conquer it?

Exactly. Within a month of our arrival in Jasper, we were running every business of worth in the town. Under our command, it became a thriving tradepost and primary route of entry into the frostfell, the first and foremost market and sanctuary on the trade road into the north.

I cannot see for the life of me what adventurers desire in "freeing" the town, since before our arrival it was but a meager stop on the road with little prosperity or worth. The quality of life there has quadrupled since we claimed control of management. Its people are not unhappy or unwell, nor are they ruled by a fist of cold iron; they are allowed, so long as they do not disturb the peace nor disrupt trade or travel, to do mostly as they please. And yet because their ruler is a half-fiend, surely they must be "liberated"!

Yes. Yes I do.

Indeed.

It's possible for our stuff to get darker?

So long as a single flame burns and a single star blinks in the sky...
