Just in Time

Overview

While the party is travelling the come across another group of adventures, that have met with a different fate!

Trigger

Travelling in some artic mountains the party comes across a group of frozen adventures.

Description

As you make your way across the white baren snow you notice a dark colored mound about 30' ahead of you. [After Investigating] After digging at the snow you come across a charred wood shelter. Most of the wood has obviously burned away, but yet the snow covering the shelter formed a bubble. Thus you devise that the fire happened after the snow covered it. Inside the burnt out shelter you see the corpse of two dead humanoids. The one body is wearing platemail and the second body is lying ontop of a wooden box. Inside the box you find the diary of the wizard "Zarule".

Dm notes

It was a fight between two wizards and a fighter. They had recently found (while exploring) a powerful magic item. The item was cursed, which turned one mage against the other two. One night while they were camping, he put up a Wall of Force in a dome just as the other mage was casting a Fire Ball. The snow fell on the Wall of Force and created the snow dome. Also hidden within the shelter the party will find a few provisions. These can be anything that will aid the party if they are stranded.

Key

The Party might want to go after the other wizard to try to get the item. Or take revenge for the dead wizard and fighter.
