Chan is persuaded by your argument. Quickly you both dismount and sprint for the trees. As you crash through the frosted undergrowth, you suddenly hear a plaintive cry from the horses. You glance back and, to your horror, you see that both of your mounts now lie frozen and lifeless upon the highway.

One of the ice-fiends turns its head towards you and holds you with its terrifying eyes. In the next instant, it belches forth a cone of ice that hurtles towards you like a huge crossbow bolt. Instinctively you throw yourself to the ground to avoid being struck by this monstrous missile.
