It became readily apparent why there were frozen people on the top of the mountain (no there was not some huge frost breath beast up there chilling things, you're insane person who suggests such things!). The cold came from all over (it was a very tall mountain) but mainly from a very large cave, which if I was reading my weird treasure map correctly, was clearly where my awesome treasure was hiding. So despite pushing winds, freezing temperatures that chilled my blood I pushed on. Here is where I was thankful for my ability to conjure fire, I was able to put a ball of it in front of me, that at the very least kept me from being immeadiately frozen. It didn't help with feeling like I was stuck in the middle of an icecube, but I take what I could get.
When I got to the mouth of the cave the wind cut off. It was very weird. Like one second I was fighting for every step forward, the next dead calm. It caused me to almost fall down it was so sudden. The cave walls were covered in ice, and looked to have almost been drilled out (there was a weird ring like texture that was even in the floor). And blue, so very blue (because again the ice, though ice doesn't have to be blue, it can also look like people as I just said and blood even, but that comes later...). I'll admit going deep into a new cave despite recently having plunged myself into the afterlife due to this very thing may seem stupid. But I'll have you know I'll do a lot of things for treasure that in retrospect seem really stupid afterward (also known as man's pursuit for anything, I assume women are smarter and thus they don't do these things.)
The cave went from being horizontal oriented (that being level) to being diagnol (that being you know slanted) pretty fast. Fast enough I didn't see it coming so I slid down an ice cave pretty fast to impact with the ground so hard I think I actually broke my ass (for those that don't know, yes you can break your ass plan accordingly). There were other not frozen bodies down at the end of my slide so that implied I wasn't the only person to survive the freezing winds to slide down and probably break a bone. I'll admit with my ass broken I didn't really feel like getting up, so I laid there in pain moaning for a bit. And by a bit I mean a whole day.
Look you know how this goes, I don't deal with pain well at all. Just look at how painfully I draw you along journal.
BOOM!
