Gartok gathers Harbinger, Rasvyn, Dramos, Maolmhuire, Datura and Corym to discuss the possibility of heading north from the Tower of Dariss towards The Great Green. Maolmhuire attempts to gain some armour from the Helvettian quartermaster at the tower, Gallo.

Gartok seeks out Bern, asking for advice on heading to the The Great Green. She says to stay clear of Mother, she will say anything to get what she wants. Bern indicates that The Bear King is of fey lineage and is not the bear that appears on Gartok Beartooth path so frequently.

Harbinger places her hands on the alter of Dariss and hears Susnous communing with a multitude of voices. Alarmed, she throws Susnous away from the alter. It becomes apparent that Susnous believe she is a vessel for the gods to hear us. These voices react to Dramos, indicating that he is a godless individual. The voices say that "this is not how it is supposed to be. There should be a distance between us and them. But, this Morthel is a threat to the balance and interference is great." Fate's voice is amongst the six heard by Dramos and Susnous.

Dramos, Corym and Datura each use Susnous to commune with the Gods.

Rasvyn and Maolmhuire procure goods from the trading merchant in the caves below the Tower of Dariss. Then Maolmhuire gains a horse and cart from the Helvettians. The horse is called Terance. The Helvettian informs Maolmhuire that he is a brave boy and should be told often. But, you shouldn't work the reins to hard.

The group set off, moving towards the Helvettian fort at the mountain pass. Snow if falling unseasonably early. Arriving, they discover the Helvettian camps have been strafed by the dragon. No foot soldiers appear to have moved in, but the command tent was thoroughly burned. A number of tents had been put down and a group of humans (9 or 10) moved north.

The entrance to The Temple of Resurrection is exposed, surrounded by falling snow from the mountainside.

Rasvyn scrys on the city of Bruidor. He sees an abandoned landscape covered in snow, but there is smoke rising from far into the city.

On the southern bank of the lake beyond the northern pass, three two-headed creatures and two ogre creatures are arguing. The creatures ask the party if they are lost and advise heading back south because this way leads to danger. They talk about being hungry, but it appears they've been instructed to leave goliaths.
