Blagothkus the cloud giant is still the master of Skyreach, and he has gone to the hall of his cousin Brunvild, ice lord of Uldoveld, for the resources to repair and reoccupy the castle. At the same time, the party is dispatched by the Council of Waterdeep to reclaim some of the stolen treasures lost when the castle fell.  \nThis episode assumes that Skyreach Castle was brought to ground in Hoard of the Dragon Queen, either in a controlled descent or a crash after its controls failed. In the most likely outcome of that adventure, the giant spirit that controls Skyreach Castle guided the fortress to the Miklos Glacier, far into the frozen North.  \nIf you did not play Hoard of the Dragon Queen, assume that Skyreach Castle was crashed by another group of adventurers who died in the fight against the cult. If you did play the previous adventure but Skyreach Castle and the cloud giant Blagothkus did not meet the fate assumed here, adjust this episode as needed.“The Frozen Castle” can also be played as a standalone adventure for a careful party of 10th level characters, ora more reckless party of 11th level characters.  \nALLIES OF CONVENIENCE  \n“The Frozen Castle” is meant to be a get-in/get-out scenario, built around locations offering both environmental hazards and deadly creature encounters. For the episode to be a success, the characters need to ally with a group that can provide shelter, help them repair the damage done during the crash, and fill out the crew needed for Skyreach Castle to fly once more. The most helpful possible allies—but perhaps not the most obvious—are the giants Blagothkus and Brunvild. Although giants rarely support alliances with the tiny races ofFaerûn, both leaders rage against the idea of the dragons gaining ascendance. If these leaders can be convinced that the party is strong enough to aid the giants, both can make valuable contributions to the final encounter against the forces ofTiamat.  \nIf the characters do not seek out the giants, a clan of dwarves in the remote colony of Mkoz can also  \nrepair and crew the castle, if given appropriate time and incentives. As well, an arcane naturalist studying a colony of yetis in the mountains can repair some of the damage to Skyreach Castle, and the yetis can make a serviceable crew if properly trained. As a more desperate measure, the party might recruit the orc servants of the giants, who could be induced to rise up against their masters and serve the characters. They are of no help in repairing the flying castle, however, and make a dange","cbCaiaIdysCZMcMy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaIdysCZMcMy","pdf",713961,"English","# Frozen Castle\n## Credits\n## Episode Premise\n## Allies of Convenience\n## The Miklos Glacier\n## Travel on the Glacier","[{\"question\":\"What is the premise of “The Frozen Castle”?\",\"answer\":\"The party aims to retake Skyreach Castle and recover Tiamat’s lost treasure, while other leaders pursue their own plans regarding the frozen fortress and its control.\"},{\"question\":\"How can the episode be played if you didn’t play Hoard of the Dragon Queen?\",\"answer\":\"Run it assuming Skyreach Castle was crashed by another adventuring group that died fighting the cult, and adjust the episode if earlier events involving the cloud giant Blagothkus differ.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenges exist when traveling across the Miklos Glacier?\",\"answer\":\"Characters without cold-weather gear, provisions, and appropriate magic risk thwarted travel, face limited safe time, and must make DC 10 Constitution checks each hour to avoid exhaustion, along with difficult terrain and visibility effects.\"}]","Frozen Castle | PDF",1791255203]
