After a short sleep, the heroes (Flint, Waseem, Joshua, Isra, Satrine, Jax, Vinelwa, Rowen, and Jeru) continue exploring the ice troll lair. Joshua casts fly on Satrine, allowing the half-silver-dragon to transport the group to the upper level of the glacier.
Unbeknownst to the party, the monsters were somewhat on alert, so that while they began searching now-empty chambers on the northern side of the glacier, very quickly the heroes found themselves battling a dozen ice trolls, several giant ice trolls, and a yeti. Flint tossed a fireball taking out nearly half of the trolls and keeping the heroes from being overrun. Unfortunately, the spell melted the northern-most wall of the glacier itself. A second fireball melted the straggling trolls but it also collapsed the floor of the chamber, spilling a huge section of the room to the glacial level below.
All of this commotion and noise brought creatures from nearby rooms, including in waves roughly another dozen more ice trolls, nearly a half dozen giant ice trolls, a frost giant, and five ice trolls with strange, rune-like markings in their icy flesh. The party battles fiercely, with the frost giant trading missiles with Jeru. Vinelwa's haste spells make a huge difference in the battle, allowing the fighters to handle the huge waves of ice trolls and their allies. Unfortunately, Jax is nearly slain after being overwhelmed by ice trolls. The druid and Rowan are each struck by the runic ice trolls and are struck snowblind. Further, Jax is hit several more times and suffers very serious frostbite as well, though his resist cold reduces the magnitude of this effect.
After a tremendous battle, the heroes stand victorious over dozens of fallen foes. They tend their wounds and retreat back to the misty caverns below to nap again. Rowan and Waseem are at 61 hps each, but everyone else is fully healed.
