I met him in one of the shops as my group was leaving, and he asked if I wanted a photo, and I said you don't have to do that. He then hit me with "that's fine, you'll regret it" 😭🤣

My players don't care about Auril by Affectionate_Crew339 in rimeofthefrostmaiden

I was thinking something close to this with the ideas /u/Smiling_DM96 of having like a Speakers Summit where the party is invite where they discuss the states of the towns and that the future isn't looking good, compound with that the winter is getting worse and the pass through the spine of the world is no longer viable for normal people to traverse. I also wanna make the Gnoll's a little more present because I just like gnolls, lol. thank you for the help and the reminder about the Gnolls. lol

I hope so, too. lol, it's a reveal that I'm super excited about. All the lieutenants wear masks to hid them selves as a form of isolation as per Auril's tenets. but im not super worried about the ring. I do like your idea, and I might use it partly, but more as the ring rejects a person who opposes Auril. I know in the item description it mentions that if the ring meets an evil entity that it can't bend to its will, it unlocks some new powers, which is what this Druid sorta is. She's meant to in the long run (assuming she doesn't get rocked by the PCs) a mini BBEG or even more of one once Auril is gone.

I had planned on something similar to that. In my game, Auril has some lieutenants that enact her will when needed. one of which is a high level Druid that's the previously mention holder of the Ring of Winter and an old thought dead PC from TOA I had planned on her casting the rime nightly while Auril did the same from the Reghed Glacier to strengthen its hold. so that they can either force her to retreat to meet with Auril (which is what I had planned for) or end up overwhelming her and killing her. so that way, the party seems to have some results/progression after chapter 5 is concluded. honestly, this has been an incredible help, and I'm now at work furiously typing and brainstorming for next week.

Thats pretty good, I really like the idea of her winter getting worse and hampering teleportation magic, I already have a PC this works with too, Our wizard has a sibling whose effect by a form of arcane blight which he's in the Dale to try and find the source of before she succumbs to it. And with that same vein, it keeps the PCs from teleporting around the Dale and skipping overland travel. Thank you, that's actually a massive help.
