 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. I am scooped up by Camilla along with Cedric.
 I am no longer a frog, but I did get to talk to Cedric for some time. Poor guy.
 I take Cedric back from Camilla and we get closer to the river.
 Neil finds a dark colored purple feather from the ground. 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. The warmth slowly siphons away.
 > As Neil is hit he fails a wisdom saving throw. Takes damage and gains a point of exaustion.
 > Floating objects keep speed for 'some time', but air resistance will eventually stop it.
 Locke Cassius and Bit start trecking across the river.
 Looking down most of the river is thickly iced over. It looks strange, the ice looks like it occured abnormally.
 We begin to hear the whispering noises that Neil heard earlier. We see a light moving under the ice. 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. Where he dives into the soul pit.
 We look down and are able to notice a great deal of magical power from what looks like a source to what we are experiencing.
 It looks bright as we look at it, the same yellow hue as the other spectres.
 Locke casts dancing lights in a red hue, and the souls begin to slowly flock to the lights. 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. When he gets it out his armor is rusted and corroded.
 We all see Camilla fall in.
 Bit has Noxx and Cassius throw him with feather fall and flies across the rest of the river.
 Noxx Cassius and Locke fall in, Camilla attempts to rescue them...
 Neil is conversing with some Harpies on a branch.
 As Camilla saves them Locke notices a long haired thing floating in the water. It has female characteristics. Some large female amphibian with large yellow eyes looking at Locke as he is ripped from the water.
 Neil is trying to convince the harpy to grab one of the party members that are on the river.
 They notice Bit standing defenseless on the shore.
 The harpies retreat as they are outnumbered. They give off a communacative noise to alert other harpies nearby.
