Description
She made chraals in the ice and loosed yetis on the plain; the attacks on the Road of Mertylmane came from her. Her partner was a young tiefling, called a nephew or grandson of General Ajani. Hrolf Skin-Counter called her muy belicosa (“very bellicose”), preferring war to business.
History
On the fourth day a hobgoblin prisoner named “a lady” who sent the summonings from the mountain. On the fifth, the company, warded against cold and fire, found her in the chamber of the milky liquid with guards, wolves and a guardian. She attacked with a magic dagger and began summoning; they flanked her and interrupted her while she handled an ice seed. She died of the fight.
They took her spellbook (detection, enlarging, freezing, deep pockets, flight), an unused bastard sword, the dagger and the Ice Seed, its malign magic now dark. Dandy spoke with the tiefling and freed him. The seed went to Sidqa (Hrolf Skin-Counter), a mercane who took command of the Halls.
