Nimue catches up to her bird and realizes that the ice is frozen solid around the ogre. The ice would need to be chipped away or melted before they would be able to reach it.
Krash attempts to punch the block of ice hard, but his hand slips on the surface causing him to fall prone!
The adventurers continue along the path. Clouds partly obscure a stone fortress situated atop the icy spur of a jagged, snow covered mountain that they recognize as Icespire Peak, a landmark so enormous as to be visible from Phandalin on a clear day. The mountain dwarfs the fortress, which consists of two separate structures joined together by a stone bridge. A narrow, winding path corkscrews up the mountainside to the smaller of the two structures, and appears to be the only safe way to reach it by land. It's an unwelcome path, but not as unwelcome as the cold, howling wind that buffets the party.
Nimue and the others continue along the path. Magis attempts to get a view from the sky, but heavy snow clouds fill the sky and obscure its vision. Snow starts to fall, making the air even colder. Snow covers the ground, making it difficult terrain for the adventurers to walk through. They eventually make their way to the large gates of the fortress.
Dusty walks to each of the party members and gives a bow and a prayer with his amulet casting Aid at third level. Everyone except Dusty gains 10 maximum HP for 8 hours.
The door is unlocked and cracked open slightly. The narrow bridge to the fortress was traversed previously by the party in a single file line. The walls are high and likely unable to be climbed. Nimue is close enough to touch the door.
Leovold finds himself in a stable. There are four horses inside and a storage area with nothing of particular interest inside. Stairs lead up to a higher level.

Nimue asks Krash "Wasn't your nickname Icebreaker?" as she points at the frozen sack.
krash gives the frozen brute a quick look over, searching for a weakness in the ice. perhaps if the monk can just target the sack...
Krash unleashes a single punch to the ice

Nimue sees the scene and says "Nevermind... I remember now it Fistbreaker..." as she glances down at Krash's hand. "Well on ward I suppose."
" Nothing to worry about then?" Leovold calls from the path?

krash closes his eyes and takes a moment to appreciate the refreshing frigid air blowing over his face
“ah finally decent weather! I’ll never understand how you townfolk thrive in such heat...”
Nimue will prepare to head up the cold path and understands that the dragon could strike at any point and keeps on high alert.
Perception 25
She will also keep Magis invisible in the air on alert
Perception 2
"We best get inside as soon as possible."

Snow covers the ground, making it difficult terrain for the adventurers to walk through. They eventually make their way to the large gates of the fortress.
Nimue will look at the gates, are they open or closed? Is it a bridge to get to the gates? How high are the walls? How far are we currently away?
"Wait" says Dusty

The door is unlocked and cracked open slightly. The narrow bridge to the fortress was traversed previously by the party in a single file line. The walls are high and likely unable to be climbed. Nimue is close enough to touch the door.
Leovold quietly says, "We should be wary as we make our way inside. Who knows what foul traps or minions it might have."
Nimue sends Magis invisible into the air to fly around and look on the other side of the wall.
Perception 2
Magis prepares to launch itself into the air, but slips and falls beak-first into the snow!!!
Nimue looks sad over Magis's recent performances but the cold air hurts to much to breath in quickly so she refrains from scolding him.
She looks at the party and says "Well, I'm not going first..."
Leovold will make sure the part is across the bridge and then charge through the door.
Leovold finds himself in a stable. There are four horses inside and a storage area with nothing of particular interest inside. Stairs lead up to a higher level.
"What need does a dragon have for horses? This is suspicious, be on your guard." He makes his way up the stairs.
