"Brrr..."

DC 14 athletics check! Roll: 6; fail. -2HP ( Maria 8/10HP )

Before she even opens her eyes, Maria feels the bitter sting of winter, curling into herself. Hugging her arms, she cracks an eye open, only to be met with snowy mountaintops. In fact, the only glimpse of warmth anywhere is far down the unfortunate side of a sheer cliff.

At least she's not alone. Though it's rather unfortunate to be stuck in the ice and snow while wearing a swimsuit, she feels much safer with someone beside her.

"H-Hello, Miss!" She grins through chattering teeth. "I'm M-M-Maria! Let's... try to find somewhere warmer...!"

Moving her hand as little as possible, she points questioningly to the south. Though both viable directions are shrouded in mystery, she knows heights tend toward chilliness, so it should be safer to move down than up, shouldn't it?

It isn't. Not terribly long into their trek, a half-frozen lake reveals itself. If there's anything they should avoid, it's getting wet.

"Should we turn--" Eyes widen; she points again. "Look! Is that...?"

Maria & Ivy have encountered a creature! Roll: 2 Wildness, 2 Wariness.
