Travel becomes a little easier. The land itself is beginning to look to have some elevation. We see a view of the continuing view, which leads to a large river and its mostly frozen over. The bridge that is normally there is destroyed. This is a large stone bridge, 300 feet about. We cannot walk around the river. + +## Episode 57: Shards of Winter's Vein + +Neil casts polymorph on me, turns me into a frog.

We notice more feathers as we get closer to the river. +Camilla recognizes that the feather belongs to harpies from her time living in northern Daein. +She ensures that we are fine, nothing to worry about. + +Neil throws a rock at the frozen river, and as he does an echo occurs. + +We plan to levitate Neil while Camilla turns into a bat for transport. They begin by taking the cart. +As they get half way across they begin to hear a whispering voice. Akin to wrath of the litch king vibes. +Neil gets the feeling that something else is on the cart with him... he looks behind him and there is spectre form sitting there. +Camilla turns, and sees the spectre floating. It's a scary guy, dementor looking. Beyond it in the trees many glistening eyes appear. Bird-like eyes. + +As they continue on there is a cold breath, sucking in the air.

Dozens of them are moving under in the same direction. They are moving with the natural current of the river. + +> The above scene reminds me of the hades scene from Hercules.

The massive light begins to dwindle a bit as what seems like things are transfering over to the new light source. +As this happens we are able to see something under the water where they were previously gathered. +We see it move but it is too dark to make anything out of it. + +Neil turns into a bird and runs away to the forest. +Camilla, who the spectre want's nothing to do with, begins to move toward those who are crossing the river and falls in. + +Cassius finds a weak spot and his leg is plunged in.
