=== Timed events === {{TEheader}} {{TErow| 1 |day 1|The remainder of the [[Barbarian]] forces retreated here deep into the tunnels in the glaciers. Or did [[Kija]] lead them here?<p>My own research has turned up some interesting information about the City of [[Volee]] where the [[Sword of Frost]] is supposed to be hidden. [[Volee]] was the first city of the [[Vori Elves]], but it disappeared more than a thousand years ago shortly after the [[Sword of Frost]] was created.<p>Some speculate that the [[Sword of Frost]] itself is responsible for the creation of the glaciers that buried the ancient city. If this weapon is capable of such power, I'm not surprised that it has the power to destroy the world as well.<p>But first, I must deal with [[Kija]] once and for all. The wife of the [[Barbarian]] King has nowhere to go.}} {{TErow| 5 |day 5|[[Zallisa]], the [[Medusa Queen]], warned me today that there are too many Monoliths and tunnels in this part of the glacier. The enemy will be able to sneak up on me quickly and easily if I don't defend myself well.}} {{TErow| 8 |day 8|I have learned there is a [[Wizard]] hiding in an old [[Seer's Hut]] to the south who is offering a large reward to anyone who can retrieve something for him. I must hurry. I certainly don't want my enemy to claim that Gold.}} {{TErow| 15 |loc={{teal}}|day 15|It cost a little Gold, but today I paid some [[Barbarian]] deserters to tell me all that they know about [[Kija]] and her troops.<p>For the wife of [[Kilgor]], King of the [[Barbarian]]s, she's a powerful warrior. She may not be insane like her husband, but she is driven by her ambition and her taste for cruelty. [[Kija]] has built a [[Stronghold]] in one of the caverns below, fortifying it well. And she knows I'm coming.<p>More importantly, she's trying to find the [[Ring of Infinite Gems]] - the only object that will open the passage to the City of [[Volee]] - before I get there. All she really wants is the [[Sword of Frost]] and she will do anything to get it - even if it costs the lives of all her troops.|effect=-3118 {{g}} [[Gold]]}} {{TErow| 21 |day 21|With [[Neez]] and [[Kilkik]] dead, I rest a little easier these days. I can trust my [[Minotaur]] bodyguard's greed. His desire for wealth is predictable. And [[Zallisa]] and her [[Medusa]]s still feel grateful to be on my good side once again. Now, if I can just hold things together for a little while longer.}} {{TErow| 24 |day 24|Today, a [[Goblin]] messenger arrived at the camp to present an offer from [[Kija]], Third Wife of [[Kilgor]].<p>"The Queen wants our two great forces to join against the nasty [[Elves]]," the [[Goblin]] said. "Why do we fight when we could be allies? [[Queen Kija]] even makes you a most generous offer!"<p>"I'll be the judge of that," I said. "What does she want?"<p>"She asks only for the [[Sword of Frost]]. You may keep all the loot and even this frozen northern land. All will be yours!"<p>I looked around at my troops. They seemed ready to stop fighting, and this alliance seemed practical to them.<p>"I refuse!" I said.<p>"What?" said the [[Goblin]].<p>"If [[Kija]] is willing to give up everything in exchange for this [[Sword of Frost]], then it must be a powerful weapon indeed - perhaps one capable of conquering the entire world! No, I refuse her offer, but go back to [[Kija]] and tell her I will give her the same option. She can keep this icy wasteland, but I get the [[Sword of Frost]]."<p>I sent the [[Goblin]] away and stared into the dark, suspicious eyes of my own bodyguard.<p>"Why did you do that? That's more wealth that I can imagine," [[Trongar]] said.<p>"Because with the [[Sword of Frost]] I will be able to take it all for myself anyways. That's what [[Kija]] plans. She gives everything away to me now, but what happens when her husband comes marching north? I'll tell you. He takes it all back - and then we have nothing!"}} {{TErow| 25 |day 25|There was only one solution as far as [[Kija]] was concerned. I had to defeat her army. I had to squash her completely or she will never give up her quest for the [[Sword of Frost]].}} |}
