Mission
Some people at the east end of the sea of grass have noticed a glacier near them glowing, weather has become erratic and impossible to predict near the area as well. This has concerned them, and they would like some people to do a proper look at the area and find out if anything cataclysmic is about to happen. They are happy for said people to simply run away and bring word of impending doom if that is the case, but would like details at least, and a solution if it is less problematic than impending doom.

Scribe Notes

Appetizer

Remel shuffled into the meeting room and was greeted by many familiar faces—and one new one. Urthgard, giant in stature (and likely in appetite), stood out immediately. We sat, introduced ourselves, and, to my delight, no one had any difficult dietary requirements. That meant I’d be free to experiment with some exciting new recipes.

Before long, Guild security interrupted our discussion, sliding a guild contract onto the table. We filled it out and appointed the necessary roles just as our employer was ushered in.

Kerekes Zsolt, a well-dressed man from the distant city of Phalogisis in the Sea of Grass, entered alongside Chotan, a mage of quiet demeanour. Kerekes took a seat and explained the purpose of his journey: he had come to hire a party to investigate a mystery. In recent weeks, settlements near a remote mountain glacier have reported seeing bright lights emanating from it at night—visible from many miles away. Scouts had been sent, but they couldn’t make it far through the dense forest at the base of the mountain, hindered by wolves, giants, walking trees, and other dangers. There was nothing in the region’s history or recent events that could explain the glacier’s glowing. Kerekes hoped we might succeed where others failed.

He and Chotan offered to transport us back to Phalogisis via cloud travel once we were ready. After the meeting, they departed into Seagate, and the party began preparations. Remel headed into town with Snowdrop to gather supplies for the journey.

The next morning, Remel prepared a hearty breakfast: freshly squeezed blood orange juice served alongside an amuse-bouche of smoked salmon tartare on buckwheat blinis, topped with crème fraiche and caviar, and silky truffle-scrambled eggs with a delicate soufflé pancake that are dusted with edible petals and bergamot syrup. Well fed and ready, Chotan summoned an enormous cloud, and we set off into the sky.

Create Fog (Re) 20 In addition the conjured mist has the effect that all entities within the fog have their Strike Chances reduced by 25% due to limited visibility. Visibility is reduced to 1 hex. The spell of Water Breathing completely negates the effect of this spell. 126mn ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Rainstorm (Re) 10 The caster summons a miniature rainstorm, radius 15 feet, that appears over the target's head (little dark rain cloud, tiny lightning bolts and all). If the target fails to resist, the storm will follow them for the duration (even inside buildings), completely soaking everything not waterproof in 10 seconds. The distraction caused by the storm will add 20% per Rank to any rolls the target makes that are of a mental nature (i.e. require thought or concentration) or 10% per Rank to other rolls.

All characters in the area of effect will suffer these effects although the effects are halved if they are not the actual target of the spell
If the target is waterproofed the effects will be minimal and if they are a Water Mage they will suffer no ill effect, but will have their Base Chances increased by 5%.
