Icewind Dale:Rime of the Frostmaiden Tuesdays 7pm EST

"Dear Adventurers, My name is Hiruna, and I write to you from Bryn Shander in the frozen tundra of Icewind Dale, where an eternal winter has settled upon the land. The people of this once-thriving region now struggle to survive amidst the bitter cold and harsh conditions.

 

We’re the survivors of a group of dwarves tasked with delivering a sled of iron ingots to Bryn Shander. A yeti surprised us and killed a member of our group. The rest of us fled as the yeti tore Oobok limb from limb. Now we need someone, anyone to go back and get the sled for us. We don't care if your criminals or exiles.

 

As payment, we offer each of you a gemstone worth fifty gold pieces. The friendship of the dwarves of Icewind Dale can also be a boon in these harsh times. You’ll need to rent a dogsled to make the trip in good time. But be warned, the journey here will not be easy. The winds howl with the fury of a thousand storms, and the creatures that inhabit the frozen wastes are fierce and deadly. You must use all of your wits and skill to survive this frozen hell and emerge victorious."
