	In a slightly embarrassed tone, he relates a nightmare he had the first evening after they set out from the city: He dreamed that the rain had turned to snow as the weather got colder and as the snow accumulated on the ground, it started affecting animals and people. It started out with small creatures at first, turning the rats into zombie like monsters that became brave enough to leave their dark corners and attack the people in the city. Things were just as bad out in the wildland. He dreamed he had seen deer carcasses being chewed on by zombie squirrels. As the snow continued to pile up, the nightmare became darker and he had haunting images of orphans stumbling through the streets with evil red eyes, then he had woken up.

He asks what everyone else's thoughts are.</pre>		He assures everyone that this was just a mundane nightmare and that he didn't feel

	As I stated in the previous games, while you guys were dicking around in the tomb, the storms over the region began to break up over a period of about six hours. As the storm dissipated, the unseasonable (relative) warmth they were providing also began to fade, leading to probably around a 20ish point drop in temperature over the course of that time, from the high thirties to the single digits.

	I'm thinking there is a high possibility that you will all be somewhat stuck at the Landing and environs during the worst of winter, or at least choose to winter there, as several members of the party indicated a genuine desire to help with the refugee situation. (FYI: setting would now be pushing december or january equivelent conditions in our world, with your location being about halfway between the tropic and arctic bands.) If we're setting up bullet points for discussion, that would be choice A.		I'm thinking there is a high possibility that you will all be somewhat stuck at

	The areas you were concerned with are at high elevations, with Iros Forge operating above the tree line even in summer. With the river at flood stage, and now also choked with ice flows (and the makeshift dock now frozen over), river travel has been suspended for the season. There is a very slight road between the landing and the city, for the mules that pull the rafts, but it is underwater at present, making a trip back to Wydmoor a trek across uncertain terrain in the dead of winter. This would make a trip back to Wydmoor challenging, but possible, especially with the aid of Pocket Druid. That'd be option B.

	The original mission was to investigate the cause of the storms, which now have now gone away. The party will need to decide if they still feel that mission exists and is completable, and if so, what kind of time table they are on. Tweets to edrell during the three days of convelescence, along with Detect Evil'n from Mose, indicates that the storm is indeed fully extinguished, and the weather patterns appear to be returned to normalcy, but contact has not been restored with the Forge by Edrell OR Ralth. The power brokers of the Free City seem to be absorbed with rebuilding from the fire and sorting out the growing refugee crisis. Trying to make your way to the forge would be option C, but do not underestimate the danger there. The road to Iros Forge from Yalmrith winds up through the foothills and into the mountains and, while of substantial width, has been hit by many many weeks of heavy rains, no doubt with associated floods, avalanches, and landslides, followed by a rapid freeze. All with no mountaineers, though Al has some experience in mountains.		The original mission was to investigate the cause of the storms, which now have now gone

	The Year Ahead: the month you are in is called WHITEFALL for a reason.

The next several months are generally pretty idllyic just about everywhere, with the worst part of summer coming in SUNFORGE, which shifts usually pretty quickly into a comfortably long autumn.

			Matt Allen (Germain) got things started
			<pre>The party is, for once, at a point where no one has told them what to do
			next. Its the beginning of a hard winter in the halfling's landing, so
			going anywhere will be an adventure. But, we're adventurers, so I can't
			imagine we want to sit around.

			Germain doesn't have a strong opinion on the matter. He doesn't think
			that we have to go back to Wydmoor, although we could. We could also
			try to check on Iros Forge or Yalmrith, which could be treks, and Iros
			may be impossible.

			He would prefer we either do something for the Bog Wraiths of the
			Halflings. He wants to know mostly what Quin thinks, in particular if
			Ralth had something he was hoping we would do. Otherwise, hes inclined
			to see if Bethnalay has a quest for us. As usual, Germ thinks we should
			build up political capital with someone.

			Whats other characters thoughts? We should sort this out so Matt can
			plan the next game. That is... if he plans anything at all.</pre>

			Travis (Al):
			<pre>In the opinion of Al, a trip back to see Bethnalay is in order so a few curses could possibly be taken care of. Since Al isn't really into cash transactions, he was planning to offer his services to Beth in exchange for making the curse go away. Maybe that would lead to something for us to do. Al, of course, doesn't really care what we do, as long as it doesn't harm nature (maybe even helps it), and as long as it doesn't involve an extended stay in a city.</pre>

			Sarah (LE):
			<pre>LE, as usual, doesn't really care where we go. She wouldn't mind hanging with Beth to see a little more of what Beth can do...</pre>

			Daniel (Quin):
			<pre>Quin (if he is still alive and able to communicate since I haven't heard anything about what happened during the last adventure) is very concerned about getting to the source of the evil rain. A trip to Beth to try to get curses removed certainly wouldn't be frowned upon though.

			In a slightly embarrassed tone, he relates a nightmare he had the first evening after they set out from the city: He dreamed that the rain had turned to snow as the weather got colder and as the snow accumulated on the ground, it started affecting animals and people. It started out with small creatures at first, turning the rats into zombie like monsters that became brave enough to leave their dark corners and attack the people in the city.

			Matt Allen (Germain):
			<pre>Well...

			Germain definitely thinks we should talk to Bethnalay about this dream. At
			least prepare her in case its a problem, because with all these injured
			refugees from the Wyd slums it could be a big deal.

			There was some disagreement about whether we stoped the evil weather when
			we killed the mummy/wraith. The weather changed immidiately afterwards,
			but Germ was suspicious that the correlation wasn't causation. I guess we
			need to have Mose detect evil on the snow.

			Jones, are we still getting the same vibe off the weather?
