An Icy Heart (3e)
 |
The peaks of a nearby mountain range have been home to Krikk¸ an old white dragon¸ for as long as anyone can remember. Aside from claiming ownership of a few villages and settlements near her range¸ she hasn't posed much of a threat or even taken much notice of political events around her.
Last week¸ a king's prophet had a vision of golems made of ice that wouldn't melt smashing through the royal castle walls¸ and of crops frozen under sheets of ice formed by the white dragon's breath. Alarmed¸ the king has sent word that he desires someone brave enough to go to the dragon and find out whether she's about to attack. If she is¸ the party must stop her before it's too late. But¸ another prophet warns that the white dragon has an entirely different plot afoot¸ and that an icy grave awaits anyone who goes up the mountain.
The player characters have to figure out what's going on -- then decide on their own what to do about it¸ while the fate of a king and his castle hangs in the balance.
Drop this adventure into your campaign in any wilderness setting near a mountain village.
Suitable for four high-level characters.
