Zefrini walked slowly towards the man, he had the hood of his cloak pulled up, revealing what seemed a half elf. He was in a difficult condition, as if he had been in the blizzard that raged in the valley for a long time. The tiefling stood a metre away from him, watching him slyly.
Nephrias will follow zefrini to the man, noticing his condition, he calmly sits next to the man, his tail wrapped around his waist "excuse me, sir, my friends and i coudn't help but notice that you seem to be in a. . . cold mood, did anything happen?" he asks
Zenfrini follows suit. Putting on their best polite smile and wrapping their tail around their waist "Yes. You seem to have been through a lot, is there anything we can do?"
I very much doubt that you will be able to help me - said the man with a lost look. After a while he pulled himself together and looked at the two tieflings and without paying much attention to his coldness and stood up and with a slight bow introduced himself. - I am Zithmaver, cartographer of the city of Broken Horn, far to the south of these lands. - he said to sit down again. - I was mapping the Eaglefeather Pass, when a massive blizzard forced me to cease my work. It's no ordinary storm, I know that, and not because I know much about magic, but because I've seen the world and know when it's involved. That place will remain a mystery, I'm afraid...
"a storm, you say?" nephrias asked moving his fingers, with a curious look on his eyes "maybe it was only bad luck, maybe it was something else. . . and that really ticks my curiousity, well what do you think my friends? shall we be good samaritans and help this man on his mission? i am a knowledge seeker myself, and i know how frustrating it is to have my plans interrupted by such things. we can escort you, and maybe bring more equipments. if the storm is magical in nature, we will find it's source."
Zefrini listems to the story dilligently. Before considering Nephrias' response "It would be within our capabilities to help out this knowledge seeker." They wonder outloud "If magic was involved shouldn't we as adventurers go seek out the perputrator." They turn to Nephrias "Perhaps the storm magic user is hiding some nepharious plan?"
"we can't confirm that it is a magical storm, but i guess it would be best than sit and drink on this tavern doing nothing. we will help you, cartographer, do you desire our help?" nephrias asks, with a small smile
Zithmaver tought for a little bit, moving his fingers, with a curious look on his eyes. "Ok then, I will allow you to help me, my friends. But I must warn you: if magic is involved, it might be dangerous. But if you're capable of that sort of things... Well, gather your belongings an let's pay a visit to Janne, the local mage. She might be able to help us.
Just promise me you won't get yourself killed, will you?
Nephrias gets up from his chair, putting a few coins on the table to pay for the drinks "then it's settled! don't worry, if there is no danger there is no fun. .. and no rewards. lead the way, we will be just behind you. does anyone needs to do anything, beforehand?" he turns to his companions, waiting for their answer
"Sounds like a plan, really interesting to see what it is about that storm, and what causes it if it is indeed different from normal"

Zithmaver, Zefrini, Jayla and Nephrias leave the tavern, located in the centre of the village. Snowflakes slowly fall on their heads, but they're not bothered. They're going towards the mage tower, located north of the village, along the Merchant's Road. They can see it in the distance, black as night. Made with obsidian and granite it's a ancient structure that has passed the test of time. As the get closer, the wind gets stronger, and the temperature drops. In the centre of the structure, a red glow is moving, getting larger and larger. They can see some neighbours inside their house pointing at the tower and whispering.A few people leave area, scared. But the party presses on. They feel the cold breeze burning their faces, and the visibility is getting worse.
Suddently they start hearing a voice in the distance, a voice of a woman. They make one last effort to reach the tower, and they see the woman standing atop the tower. She is casting some kind of spell.
- What is happening? - Zithmaver ask while covering his face.
Nephrias tries to shield his face from the extreme cold, looking at the strange woman's direction "maybe it's this woman who's causing the storm! ghh. .. we need to go fast, or find a way to stop her concentration!"
"Bloody hell what a cold. Shall we at least get in to get out of the cold."

Zefrini nods in agreement "Sounds like a plan." They get to their feet, unfurling their tail "Shall we get going?"
