The following day Ulysse will see if anyone will help participate in scouting with him, a bit discouraged after the unsuccessful day prior. But he was able to move about a bit more freely after learning a bit about moving about from before. (Survival 18 without help)

Doter would definitely try to help Ulysse out where he can. He runs up to him and says, "I'm no pro-survivalist, and I have no idea where in the world we are, but maybe two heads are better than one?" (Survival 17) 

You both find some sought of trail in snow. It appears to be from a small bipedal creature with three clawed toes on each feet, as well evidence of it dragging long arms on either side of its footprints. Anyone who sees these tracks can make an arcana or nature check to determine what made them.

What would you like to do?

Nature 14 for Ulysse 

You’re not quite sure what the tracks are from, but you get the sense whatever creature this is, it’s probably not an animal exactly, more something native to a different plane of existence. 

You feel like Orvo Mustave said something about a certain creature being drawn to Salsvault…

Ulysse nudges his old friend and points to the tracjs that Doter probably saw too. "Well Doter, these trackss here don't appear to be anything like creaturess I know of, ccertainly nothing like I imagine are native to these partss. I believe that Orvo fella mentioned that Ssalssvaultss drawss creaturess to it, so this may be our best clue how to find the place. If nothing else it will help show uss what this creature is and what we might be faccing in there. We should gather the otherss and ssee if they agree to trying to track the creator of these trackss." 

Doter nods at Ulysse and says, "Sounds like a plan. Whatever it is surely it must have a ton of fur, this place is insane." clutching at his cold weather gear before trudging back towards the others. 

Okay, so you find the others, and follow the tracks. 

The tracks go on for about 3 hours worth of distance. 

Through wind-whipped snow and biting cold, you notice a half-submerged, dark-blue stone building poking up through the ice. A gray stone door is carved to look like a face with a half-exposed skull. Scribed above the door is the word “SALSVAULT.”

The tracks stop about 7 feet from the door, and Boil, Doter, Ulysse notice what seems like a couple jagged clusters of ice shards half buried in the snow on either side of the door. 

Jahn would look up and smile to.themselves seeing the door that would house the cure.  They'd equipt their shield and ready themselves and wait for the more perceptive members to spot anything. 

OOC: Do these ice shards look like a trap waiting to go off, or perhaps already gone off? Perhaps a creature in the snow?

 You see one of them twitch slightly. 

"Well that's ominous!" Doter chimes in while everyone is looking about, pointing first to the skull door and then to the various ice shards. 

"So eh, guess we gotta go through that ehy? Salsvault awaits..."

He's gonna walk up to the ice shards and give em a look over too, searching for a lever or some way to open the door. 

(Investigation 18) 

As you get closer to one of the ice clusters, it comes to life and tries to lash out with long icy claws, but its attack reflects off your armoured shell. 

You all watch as the clusters of ice shards unfurl into small, 3’ tall impish creatures made purely of ice, also with goblin-esc ears and noses; clawed, three-toed feet; long arms; and a pair of shimmering, bat-like wings. You now recognise this creature as an Ice Mephit, which Orvo Mustave told you about.
