The heroes (Flint, Waseem, Joshua, Isra, Satrine, Jax, Vinelwa, and Rowen) are sleeping when a huge wave of ice trolls, yeti, snow tigers, and an ice ogre trap them in a pincher move. The mists surrounding the Jewels of Compassion billow and all parties find themselves nearly naked on an infinite plane of grayish mist and fog. Only living and enchanted objects are here, putting the heroes at a distinct disadvantage. But movement is by thought and here the party has a clear edge. The heroes take out the yeti quite quickly. Meanwhile, Flint tosses both his fireballs taking out half the ice trolls. And they die quite easily in this domain of dreams, where the temperate is not cold and there is no flowing water. Strangely, however, some aspect or essence of those creatures who are instantly slain are also transmittted in this dreamscape, waking up lost, genetic potential. Vinelwa realizes she can speak yeti, frost giant, ice ogre, white dragon, snow gnome, and bugbear. Saturin find his draconic resistance to spells enhanced. And, unfortunately, Flint discovers that one of his human ancestors was a werebat...! The lone ice ogre invisibly slips behind the party ranks and unleashes a cone of cold. The heroes respond, but the ogre fades away in the resulting melee. The group detained the four tigers for Jax to wrestle one into submission.
The battle over, the heroes find themselves back in the cavern of the slyphs and the gems, but neither are there any longer. The group quickly reconnoiters the glacier and loots the ice trolls' treasure. Clearly, at least one ice ogre escaped but that was it. Unfortunately, this glacier has lower levels...which the group choses to skip since they did complete their original mission. Instead, the group returns to Muluk to have Flint cured of lycanthropy...
