The party left the Ice Troll lair laden down with the loss of their companions, but their pouches and packs full of loot. Their decision was to return to the Wayhouse Ersten to recoup and figure out a plan from there. However the wilds of the Dragonback mountains fed them up some other plans.
In their trek back through the harsh snowy mountains they came across come killed elk, some frozen another torn apart.

They made camp to put to rest their fallen Attya and Salia, also to recover from there wounds, but they were beset upon by a pack of worgs led by a winter wold. Will skill and brawn they killed all the wargs and captured the Winter wolf. Seemingly Sunny could make some communication with it using the head band from the troll chieftain.

Eventually they made their way back to the giants lair, and negotiated her release offering up the winter wolf. Ygyaryll found this agreeable, provided they also coughed up 1000gp or loot of equal value, or explored some an area he couldn’t connected to his lair…
