Storms and Weather adversaries
Storms and Weather one-shots
-
StormwakeA storm follows the path of a missing ship. The party must reach the wreck, survive the rising waves, and confront the leviathan that drags vessels into its maelstrom.
-
The Moving RiftA traveling whiteout swallows the mountain pass. The party must find the moving rift, rescue trapped travelers, and stop the giant before the blizzard reaches the next settlement.
-
The Storm-Bone SpireA storm refuses to break over a coastal ruin. The party must reach the spire, destroy three bone-anchor nodes, and confront the dracolich before the next tidal surge.
-
The White PathA sudden whiteout strands the party and a group of refugees. A Winterpath Guide offers aid if the party restores a broken marker, escorts the refugees through a safe corridor, and honors the spirit's winter rules.
-
The Frozen PassageThe party must reach the summit of the Frostspire Reach to complete their quest - perhaps to retrieve a sacred artifact, commune with ancient spirits, or fulfill a prophecy. The treacherous mountain demands they prove their worth through its frozen heights, navigating snow-choked passes, avoiding avalanches, and surviving the killing cold that saps resolve and tests endurance.
