Also, Here

As the party slowly recovered from their euphoria episodes, the blizzard did nothing but get worse. While shiv and Zaren had attempted to shore up the entrance to the cave with tents and snake skin, it wasn’t until Marius awoken that the party really was protected. From that point forward, it was just a matter of waiting

The waiting lasted several days until the blizzard calmed to normal snowfall. At first, the party was a little lost trying to get back to Icehaven, but using Zaren and Marius’ survival skill and Shiv’s map, they were able to make their way back. The smith was waiting for them.

“Welcome back!” Gerald said as the party filed into his smithy. “I hope things worked out in your favor? I see everyone is here”

As the party relayed the events of the hunt, Gerald nodded in approval. “I had heard of strange perils of the frost before, but that one is new for me. Well I am glad you all got out safely, and that our herd will be safe, at least from them.” He gestures to the party to follow him to the side room, where he keeps the collection of Taffe blades.

“I have a secret to confess to you. The message you brought to me was nothing of dire importance, but a message about you” He begins taking several small chests and giving them to each person in turn. “Ramut saw something in you guys, willing to travel hundreds of miles for a person you never really knew to return his sword to a people who you have no affiliation with. This means a lot to us, the Aldori. You may not have realized it, but this is a huge gesture of respect for our culture, and even with some of your inclinations toward magic, we cannot let this go unnoticed.” He gestures for each of you to open your chest. “These are symbols of what you have done for us. Each of these daggers was tailored specifically for each of you. Not only does it bear the symbol of the Taffe family and the Aldori, but it is a token that you are a friend to the Aldori. Show this to any Aldori, anywhere, and you will have their help if it is in their power.” He smiles slightly “Not only that, but they are fairly potent daggers. Especially in the cold.”

He makes small talk for a while, invited the party to join him for a feast that night in the hall, and the rest of the party’s stay is on him (should they choose to stay longer). Regardless, the trek back to New Westhaven is uneventful, and the snow pitters out after a day. The festival is over by the time the party returns, and they are able to hire passage on a ship for free (courtesy of the Taffe clan). The total journey back to Gold Bar turns out to be 21 days (from the end of our session). The campaign totaled out to 52 total days, ending the party’s return to Gold Bar on November 26th.

Wealth: The party received their 500gp reward per person. The daggers are +1 daggers (sized appropriately) made from living steel. They also have the cold property, but it only functions in below freezing temperatures. This Cold damage effects creatures normally, even if resistant or immune to cold. Also, below are other items that were the Trade Goods previously mentioned in the campaign (in the Keep).

Wealth:

Gold Reward: 500gp/person - 4000gp

Fox Pelts (10sq yards) - 30gp

Cold Iron Ingots (7lbs) - 350gp

Iron Ingots (50lbs) - 5gp

Darkwood (170lbs) - 1700gp

Mithril Ingots (20lbs) - 10,000gp

Total wealth gained: 14,555gp. Wealth Gain per person: 2010.63gp.

This wealth is all seperately calculated from previous wealth ammounts.

You will notice the lack of the daggers on the loot list. I intended these to be a rp reward (not quite a quest item, but perfering them to not be sold).

Oh, and welcome to level 5
