Meifinas let's out a low growl as the frozen branch slashed him. He tried to compose himself before giving Havel a small thank you before casting Vicious Mockery at the snowman (if the one he engaged with is still up, if not then he'll turn towards the one that is attacking Faune before casting it.) "I think it's about time that you melt frosty."

 The snowman needs to make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or take 3 psychic damage and have disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.

Waiting for Faune and Rothgar

I think Faune casts bonfire again? Just wondering, would the fire have extra damage on the snowmen?

Rothgar continues his attack: Attack: 18; Damage: 14

As the final snowman crumbles to the ground in a cascade of snowy shards, you can finally catch your breath. The snowmen that were once a menacing threat now lay motionless, reduced to mere piles of snow.

The tension in the air slowly dissipates, replaced by a quietude broken only by the soft crunch of snow underfoot and the distant whistle of the wind. You can continue your way forward.

Havel gives the pile of snow and swift kick just to be sure "Deadly snowman that is first. This could be the effect of whoever means harm on Kringle. Let us get going" he then continues on following Holly's map. 

"Something gave these creatures power to form," Rothgar rumbles, watching the woods around them. "Enough to animate snow to attack us, we must be on our guard but make haste to this Kringle.

"That certainly was a new experience that I won't soon be forgetting." Meifinas thinks aloud as he looked down at where he had been scratched. "Right, it'd be for the best if we don't delay. However... we should still be on guard just to be safe." He continues forwards after Rothgar and Havel.

On the far side of the clearing you find the path again. As your group nears the top of a small hill, the sight of a large building comes into view. It stretches 120 feet wide and 40 feet deep, perched on the edge of a woodlot about 200 feet away. Scattered around the perimeter of the building are six short, silhouetted shapes that appear to be on patrol, traversing different areas around the structure. From this distance, you can discern a door on the front right side of the building, seemingly serving as the main entrance.

Rothgar crouches to assess the situation. Do the shapes patrolling appear larger than gnome size, or in the shape of more snowmen? He is assessing if they are a threat or not, and if so, how to take them out. Perception: 20; Investigation: 8

Havel does his best to keep still and to see if he can make out any of their tracks nearby to discern if they are humanoid or some other creature.

Meifinas hesitantly casts Cure Wounds on himself. "I'm probably going to regret this later, but it can't be helped..."

Then he's going to slowly move a little closer, but hopefully not close enough that he gets spotted. 

Stealth: 10

Miefinas

Rothgar will watch and time the outer patrol of the toy soldiers, before making a move towards the front door. "I don't know whose side these wooden soldiers are," whispers Rothgar, "Seeing snowmen already attacked us, can't be sure of these wooden soldiers. I am hoping this Kringle is inside."

Once it appears that Rothgar can move when the patrolling toy soldiers are apart, he moves towards the door but from an angle, not directly. Stealth: 4 (well, snot)

"That was odd. One of them saw me but did nothing. I think I am going to stay put as Meifinas has stealthily snuck closer." whispers Havel. 

He keeps his senses on alert in the event Meifinas is caught or a fight breaks out. 

Perception

Meifinas looks back at the others for a moment before taking a breath and moving a little closer. Stopping every so often to watch the toy soldiers movements so he didn't unintentionally run into one of them.

Perception: 16

Quietly, Rothgar approaches the door, before making a move towards the toy soldiers to see if they are friendly or not

Perception for Faune: 4

As Rothgar cautiously advances, his attempts at remaining undetected prove fruitless, drawing the attention of one of the toy soldiers standing guard in front of the door. The wooden figure abruptly halts, its mechanical eyes flickering to life with an eerie glow. Sensing an intruder, the soldier raises its wooden arm, revealing a small musket embedded in its hand. With mechanical precision, it takes aim, its sights locked on Rothgar, preparing to unleash its miniature musket. 

Meanwhile, Meifinas, steadfast in his stealthy manoeuvring, attentively observes the patrol patterns of the toy soldiers. His keen eyes track their movements, discerning that two guards stand watch near the front door, two are heading toward the far end of the building, while two others remain stationed around the midpoint. His astute observations allow him to deduce that the soldiers heading away from the entrance will continue circling the building on their patrol route. Unfortunately, before he can relay all this information to the group, he also notices that one of the guarding toy soldiers have detected a threat in the face of Rothgar as it is preparing to shoot its miniature musket.

Initiative for toy soldiers: 16

Initiative for party: 5

Party's turn

So far, only Rothgar has been really detected

The two toy soldiers patrolling towards the end of the building are around 60 feet away with their backs to the you, the other four are within 30 facing you
