Delark
The Saber-toothed tiger looks back again and doesn't respond, trying to figure out its best options. "Delark fer anfel. we fange fode. " You all hear the ogre shouting as it reveals itself and starts running down the mountain, ready to throw another javelin.
OOC:
Ogres speak giant dialect so if you know giant you can understand that.
The tiger finally growls.

OOC:
Agna does speak giant. Maybe you could spoiler the text in the future if other languages come up? We can just simply use the honor system to prevent metagaming.

OOC:
Ah I should have checked it. I really though no one spoke it so i wrote it only for RP purposes 😅

I’ll use the notes to see if that helps with making the PC interact (instead of assuming they just shared it at some point as it happen around the table). In the end you guys all got the info, just in different ways which is cool 👌

"Whatever you're doin', hurry," Agna chides Izuhn. "You got that beast under control?"
Oct 15, 2023 5:24 pm
"Doesn't look like he's willin to help us but they might let us be if we offer em some food."

"Keeps sayin something about a big owl stealin their food."
Oct 15, 2023 6:27 pm
Adaia realizes that she needs to learn more languages, perhaps the next time she travels she'll learn one of the local dialects. "That seems the safer option than fighting, Beorne can we spare something?"

Beorne Steelstrike

Beorne Steelstrike
As Izuhn explains what the tiger told him, Beorne immediately shouts for the guards to protect the wagons. "Em here for de food! Everyone hide inside. Ye there! Keep that side safe. The big one comin' for it".

The ogre stops to throw the javelin which pierces one of the wagons. Once the creature has another one ready, it continues charging down the snowed slope.

Beorne moves his eyes from the javelin stuck in the wooden side of the wagon to Adaia. "A puppy and a brute? There be enough dwarves here to shoo em away!"
OOC:
Beorne might need some convincing here to part with valuable rations. For the diplomatic approach you are going to persuade the Ogre, but the tiger is already on board.
Oct 15, 2023 8:41 pm
Realizing we might not have time for the diplomatic approach, and that she can't actually communicate with the charging Ogre; Adaia will attempt to slow it down, she begins to move her arms with the wind and channel the cold, attempting to turn some snow in front of the Ogre to ice, causing it to slip.

Agna shakes her head. "No. We planned enough for the trip, none more'n that. Supplies are goin' to the towns." She raises her voice to answer back in the ogre's tongue. "Hunt your own food, ogre, or all you'll find in your belly is wood and iron."

Ogre

Ogre
After Adaia's quick magical incantation you see the Ogre skippering on a patch of ice and violently crashing on the snow. The tiger looks back worried and then to Izuhn as a group of guards lead by Helda tries to encircle it.
OOC:
Well, Agna blocks the negotiations, so you either try to convince her or fend off the ambush. I am going to make it a success (they leave), but with the classical Icewind Dale twist which is very suitable after Adaia's success.
As the Ogre stops rolling down the mountain, a shockingly loud roar, like all the thunder in the world, sounds from hundreds of feet up the mountain followed by the cracking of evergreen trees as a huge wave of ice, snow, and debris crashes down to engulf the tiny caravan like a nightmare of white dragon breath.
OOC:
What do you do?
Oct 16, 2023 9:18 am
The rumble makes Agna's ears prick. She tries to yell out a warning, but the avalanche descends too fast for her words to be heard.

Izuhn hears the all too familiar roar of crashing snow and moves to throw himself behind something sturdy. He finds meager shelter in a small rock out cropping nearby.

Adaia will rush over to Agna and Izuhn, diving behind a wagon or something else sturdy. "Find cover! Get ready to hold your breath, I might be able to dig us out!"

Winter
The tiger jumps as soon as the valanche starts and darts away until it disapeears into the whitness of the mountains. Seeing that, the Ogre grunts some commands to the tiger and runs after it.
The caravan because a scene of panic as everyone tries to move out of the way of the impeding mass of snow and debris.

OOC:
Two fails then it is.
As the grinding roar of the avalanche subsides into the cracks and groans of the snow settling, weak cries for help and wails of pain penetrate the snowpack. Having found safety behinf a larger rock, Izhun dusts the snow of himself only to find that the tail of the caravan is gone; only felled trees, tumbled boulders, and mounds of snow remain. Just as the dwarf takes stock of the damage, he notices the weather starting to turn bad; another blizzard is coming... and you might not have time to save everyone before you get caught in an even worse position.

Agna grabs hold out a jutting rock to pulls herself out of the blanket of snow and debris. Despite her best efforts, the snow crumbles under her fingers, making it impossible to get a good hold.

"Help!" Izhun can here the shouts of terror of a human woman coming from an overturned wagon. As he turns his attention to voice, he notices Godric Orchard buried up to his wait in the snow, struggling to free himself.

"By the heavens!"

Izuhn's mind hesitates but his instincts kick in and he immediately starts digging out the half-buried man in front of him.

"When you get free, start digging someone else out. We don't have time to waste."
