Session 0 - Carron's Gap

Colder than you bargained for....

Our adventurers met for the first time in Carron's Gap - Helvetica, Saffi, Tishmyl, Alerayas, Xyrmoira, Zojo, and Dirk arrived in this, modest settlement and were promptly informed by the town elder Derrick Cain that if they could assist the settlement in making it through the winter they would be justly compensated.

 

Winter was harsh - just two months in six of the seven available livestock had been slaughtered for food - and many villagers would have frozen to death were it not for the ingenious snow-insulation engineered by Helvetica. Five months of chill left had left many sick and hungry - but rather than abating the winter raged on ever more ferocious, and what's more the sun refused to rise above the horizon, basking the frozen land in perpetual dusk and darkness.

After much struggle and many villagers dead - including one that was eaten and another, the Elder's only remaining son Samuel Cain, murdered with a haunting message left beside his body. Derrick Cain called the adventurers together and asked that they venture into Ten Towns to see if they can do something, or anything to stop this eternal cold, as the village will not be able to survive much longer.

He bid them goodbye - providing them with directions to the closest town - Easthaven as well as the agreed on sum of gold and cold weather gear that the villagers had made from the game the adventurers had hunted during the long winter. 

What does Easthaven have in store for our heroes? And what lies ahead on the cold roads of Icewind Dale?
