Dungeons & Dragons with Doc. G & Trey
Our brave adventurers continue their journey with Trey this Winter, hopefully surviving! A biting wind howls across the frozen expanse as dusk settles over the tundra, washing the world in shades of blue and silver. Snow crunches beneath your boots, each step sinking into the drifts that blanket the land like an ancient, unbroken shroud. In the distance, the jagged silhouette of Frostgloom Keep pierces the swirling storm clouds— its ice-coated spires glinting like the fangs of some slumbering beast. Travelers whisper that strange lights dance in its windows at night and that the bitter cold itself seems to radiate from within its walls.
