The South pass was
covered with snow and lakes too. We established the base and began
exploring. To the east the snow withdrawn to reveal a barren lands
occupied by Undead. A Vampire have been reported (Undead Leader). The
first Quest Giver was found very near the base to the north-east. Near
it was one entrances to our base and we entrenched the east one to stop
the Undead rides. Soon enough Orcs were pushing from the north. Far to
the north-west corner there was a Goblin Lair, where Miranda found the
Shield of Obsidian(10% per hit cast Stone Skin, +15 Armor, -5
Spellcasting) and equipped it immediately, it was better than her old
shield. Another Gnoll Lair was found in central east part of the huge
map. One of the enemy heroes dropped the Harvest Scythe(Weapon +1 Nature
Magic). The mission was completed with a lot of Mages. After the
mission it become possible to recruit Ragnar in the Ragnar's pass. The
dragon joined my retinue.
