Vor grabs a blanket and wraps it around Belthran’s shoulders as his song finishes. “That was a noble tribute to the fallen, my friend. You were injured and should get some rest.”
Looking at the others says, “I’ll take first watch - the Spirit of Battle is slowly fading, so I couldn’t sleep now anyway. We can hunt for Herne in the morning.”
Vor tends to the fire and will Produce Flame if needed to restart or build it.
The hours pass and after a quick meal the decision is affirmed, they will look for Herne. The group eventually returns the the spot where the rifle was found. now the search will begin.
Sandow, not being an exceptional tracker, will instead take a perch on the wagon to keep a higher vantage point, with his bow and many arrows set about him, readied for attacks from all sides.
The ranger and Barbarian locate an area of woods where snowfall is very sparse. The wagon will have a hard time in the woods.The Genasi finds a blood tail. the Half-orc verifies the tracks Winter Wolves.
After agreeing to leave the mounts and wagon to the care of Alaric’s men, the companions enter to the woods as they follow the blood spoor left by Herne. The woods become thick but within a mile they thin out leading to a large expanse of tundra. Jutting up out of the vast tundra is a towering edifice built entirely of ice. The domed structure is easily three times the height and width of any building found in Ten-Towns. All the company is in the tree line and none are exposed.
Sandow shoulders his backpack and enters his place in formation, giving a silent prayer to any gods that will listen for Herne to hold out until they can arrive.
Vor follows suit with Sandow, "Let us go now before there is no time for Herne, there is nothing we can do to hide across this expanse of open ground. At this point, the unnaturally dark sky is our friend." He begins to walk alongside Sandow, but spread out a bit as though they are a hunting party tracking elk - but every bit as observant (Perception).
"Shites, this feels like a huge porcine copulation cluster contest a moment before someone yells 'Bacon!' I can not help but think there be Giants here abouts." Vrajitor really isn't happy about the situation but, "Only one way to see what is in there."
OCC How far away is this construct? Are there any sounds emanating from it? Any light? Any movement? [Silent malevolence, eh?]
"Those who are good with ranged attacks should cover the ones sneaking up. Anybody have a spell they can use to light the place up if necessary? Light could be a good weapon used against creatures that are dark adapted, at least briefly giving us a slight advantage, and I think we're going to need every advantage we can get. Anybody have any other ideas?." Vrajitor keeps his voice pitched to just reach the party members.

Sandow will drop his pack under a tree and readies his bow, checking to make sure his quiver is set. "I'll provide some cover."
[actions]Sandow will try and hang back in the darkness, assuming the front-line guys are going in with torches or lanterns. I'm attempting to stealth and hide along their track but off a bit lateral.
Alaric does see something large a big dog. but no dog is that big. it's the size of a small elephant from chult he's read about. on the righ entrance. but it turned and left.

Vrajitor will try and pick up the spoor again. The frozen blood trail should point in the right direction, at least at first.

”Can any among us aid me trying to find the tracks?” He asked, shaking his head.

"Aye, your a sight better than me most of the time," Vrajitor grins in a manner the promises mayhem.

"Let me see that blood trail" Alaric says. "Perhaps this will help."
[Action] Alaric will approach the blood trail and cast Detect Magic as a ritual to see if he can pick up any more tracks.
Other than the low hummm from the magic of the land itself, there is nothing.

Does Vrajitor know anything about such a structure?
”Ever seen anything like this, Vor?” Vrajitor asks.

“I can only light things I touch”, says Belthran dubiously. “Though I can throw a curse a goodly way.”
