Book 4 Chapter 4

After narrowly escaping with their lives, the party starts climbing the mountain again, hoping there will not be another avalanche. Once out of harm's way, they all notice there is an igloo off in the distance and begin trekking that way. After a short discussion, they decide to enter the igloo out of curiosity. They are taken by surprise when they see an old looking man in front of them who claims to have been living here for the last thirty years. The party sees this as a sign, seeing as they just lost their guide, and they ask the old man to help them on their travels.

After climbing the mountain, the adventures see they have an obstacle ahead. They are going to have to walk across a frozen river. Most make it over without it cracking, but Dorian, Esiel, and the druid are stuck on the other side. After some talking, the druid and Dorian (using some new found powers) shape shift into bears and take Esiel across with them. The group continues climbing and now find themselves at the peak of the mountain. The only thing standing between them and the Vault of Secrets is what looks to be a graveyard of past adventurers. As they start to walk through the graveyard, some of the creatures come alive and attack, but the party dispatches them easily.

They continue walking and find what seems to be a portal. The whole party, tired of this cold weather, all walk into the portal... Not knowing what is in store next.
