Seafoot Games - Snowy Mountaintop Throne | 20x30 Battlemap

Ice that bites to the bone lingers here; seeping deep within the flesh of  those who climb this mountain’s ruthless peak, to where a frozen throne sits—waiting…

•   For a large sum, you have been sent from a nearby village to hunt down an unusually large griffon that was seen flying overhead, with some kind of dying, humanoid victim in its claws. The trail of blood and tracks has led you here. Only, when you find the  griffon, it has the accoutrements of an elven rider, and you find his  master at its side; unconscious, with an arrow in his belly, and a scroll-case by his thigh. But the griffon, enraged by pain, won’t let your party come near without a fight. 
•   Your party has been sent to negotiate with the Ice King; a frost giant whom no more villagers have had the courage to parlay with after he ate their last messengers. Desperate, they have offered you their daughters in return; hoping your peace negotiations might put an end to his raids, which snatch innocent people away in the  night, never to be seen again. But when you arrive, the Ice King won’t listen to your plea, and instead sets his frost hounds on you. Perhaps, if you can beat them in combat, he will respect your party enough to listen…
•   You have been paid by a dying old man to get his backwards son from a remote mountain top, so he can say goodbye one, final time. But when you  arrive, you discover his son is a famed martial artist monk, who has spent many years in isolation; training a few chosen pupils in his much desired ways. When he hears of your reason for being here, he is disgusted that his father still doesn’t approve  of his lifestyle—and he takes it out on your party.
