Hawk went out extra early the next day, intending to make it to the next pass, so he could check the Frost Giants that had gathered near the next portion of the main defence lines. That was the most likely spot for there to be another of the relics, and he would happily help them steal it if it was going to make the cold go away.
Even if Karl gave to the snake again.
He was in luck, they weren't even hiding this one. Or, maybe they were, but not from above. It was just like the other one, a magical circle next to a big stone, but this one was in the caldera of a dormant volcano, and it didn't feel the same.
Instead of so much snow, it was bitterly cold, and the monsters around the magical circle were different. It was still Frost Giants, but not strong ones. They were making the Awakened groups, led by Ascended, and sending them back into the Frost Giant nation to regroup and mingle with more powerful groups that were coming back to the front-line groups as a combined force.
