 '''The DM:''' The fog lifts and leaves a thin layer of high, icy clouds across the sky.  The weather remains cool and the ground a little damp, as you strike out across the tundra towards the valley that Dilhak indicated.  This takes you to a small pond, a highland tarn, about 50 yards across, where water has collected like a cistern.  It is clear and very slightly turquoise in colour, allowing you to see right to the bottom.  You can see Dilhak's footsteps along the cold, wet sand ringing the pond.  This is where you find the axe.
 : It is a battle axe, four times the normal size.  Pandred can lift it with her strength, and might even be able to wield it, but the swing would throw her off her balance for certain.  The head is made of stone with a gnarled, twisted wooden handle, which looks like driftwood.  The wood feels as hard as the head.  The axe's edge has been polished and made sharp.  There is blood on the stone.
-'''Pandred''': I will take it, and heft it o'er my shoulder, and while we should scurry back to our giant friend, part of me hopes to land a truly calamitous blow with this thing. Let's mosey.

 '''The DM:''' Who is carrying the axe, and how does the 30 lbs. affect your encumbrance?  Also, if Marcule holds onto the chromatic orb, it will very greatly slow down the party's movement.
-'''Pandred''': I am, and it drops me from 4 AP to 3. Let's move along. I'm curious about this wolf. I '''want''' to fight it. But if it doesn't want to fight, I want to wiggle on out of here.

 '''The DM:''' I find myself wanting to wait for Marcule; but conceding that the party has voted to return to camp, I must assume that the spell is dropped and lost for the day.  Condolences.  As you gather yourselves, heft the axe and begin, Embla will see the wolf reappear about fifty yards away.  It is sitting on a patch of bare rock, gazing at the party — and appears to be decidedly translucent.  As you move along a little farther, it begins to parallel the party.

The ship could be defended, hopefully. If this creature is some spiritual envoy of the bear, then that's bad. If it's a cool wolf, that's interesting but not relevant. If it's the astral servant of some other power in the area, a druid or a mage, that's something to deal with when we come to it.
