None of the armor or weapons radiates magic....
however you are not sure these items are mundane, they are finely crafted and seem to be some unfamiliar alloy....
The cube has faint abjuration magic.
"Breastplate shiny"
Caydee shrugs. "Seems like good equipment." She sinks a bit deeper into the water and smiles blissfully. "Maybe we should take news of this spot back to town and charge people for our hot springs."
"Hey, I don't have much use for the armor, but is anyone else claiming the longsword? Seems like a nice one. D'ya think the weird metal these are made out of have anything to do with the tengu's metal man?"
You soon determine the shield and breastplate are mithral and the longsword is Adamantine. Making you wonder how old this equipment truly is....
The final item
Cube of Frost Resistance
Aura faint abjuration; CL 5th
Slot —; Price 27,000 gp; Weight 2 lbs.
Description This cube is activated or deactivated by pressing one side. When activated, it creates a cube-shaped area 10 feet on a side centered on the possessor (or on the cube itself, if the item is later placed on a surface). The temperature within this area is always at least 65° F. The field absorbs all cold-based attacks. However, if the field is subjected to more than 50 points of cold damage in 1 round (from one or multiple attacks), it collapses and cannot be reactivated for 1 hour. If the field absorbs more than 100 points of cold damage in a 10-round period, the cube is destroyed.

"It seems we should dry completely afor leaving here."
"Aw, Fubar carries his own armory! I'll let other people have the next adamantine weapon we come across!" She climbs out of the spring and dries off as well as she can without taking off her clothes, pacing impatiently in her damp clothing while waiting to dry completely.
"Yes; no one leaves here wet. I don't want anyone to freeze. I am, after all, the guide."
"Blasted breast plate didnot keep tha momma bear offa me shoulder! I reckon tho me face is too ugly tah bite!"
"Yup."
More and more frequently Karrg comes to the edge of the crevace and leaning over makes noises at you.....
"AHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Linguistics check
DC 21
Seems agitated by something!
"Uh, Ahz? Does Karg see charging worgs or something?"
Fubar being dressed goes up the rope as well.
climb check
As party members top the crevase looking out over the frozen landscape, you immediatly see the problem.
A large male polar bear has killed the young cub about 35 feet away, Karrg has been staying away from the bear by walking around the crevace.
Climbing up!
The rope sure is slippery!
Actually it is the layer of ice at the top from the rising steam freezing over the rope, making the last bit really tricky.
If you fail, try, try again.
Yay! Made it through. I'll help anyone to get past that last hurdle.
No the male bear is still eating the cub at a distance about 35 away, the wind is blowing into you from that direction, he likely hears you but has not spotted or smelled you yet....
AHZ
Karrg has no interest in fighting the larger male bear....
Nor in climbing down into the hole...
You also notice the snow and ice melting quickly in your vicinity, especially underfoot as it becomes slushy
"I do not wish to fight this bear, likely it can be avoided."
"Agreed," Cay comments, still dangling from the rope.
"Some help here?"
Caydee again tries to climb up the rope, this time with Ahz's help.
"Thanks." Cay hauls up the rope, making sure to talk quietly. "Gods, pretty soon the only way to salve my pride will be to beat Fubar at arm wrestling."
"Best two out of three.."
"An how would I ever face a bear again?"
The bear wonders away never coming any closer than where he killed the cub......
"I am sure tha stuff is fine i ken use tha shield."
Distracted from her regretful contemplation of the cub's remains, she turns back to the group. "I'd still really, really like that sword."
Everyone puts on and tries out new gear ready to face what dangers may come.....
Karrg looks at you and says.
"Go"
"Go"
AHZ
You realize how dangerous the cube could be to you on snow and ice, it would be safer to use on solid ground...
The mountain with the tengu's old home looms off to your half-right as you can likely either turn towards the tengu's former home or towards town.....
Caydee looks from Karg to Ahz. "What does he mean?"
Traveling further out than you had in pursuit of the Tengu, you come across a new landmark a gorge that seems to run behind the Tengu's mountain and then towards the area they departed to.
The gorge is hundreds of feet deep, with sheer walls, and what appears to be a riverbed in the bottom, just across the 100 foot wide bed is another sheer cliff rising also hundreds of feet.

Went to the link http://www.sunshinesrus.com/forum
will I need to register for a group over there or what?
I am confused! ;(
The traveler known as Hoppin Robbo ends his journey so soon after it began....
The day swiftly turns towards night with nothing occuring since Hoppin fell into the new gorge.
