After four gruelling days and nights trecking over a blizzard wrecked mountain range they finally seem to be coming to the point where the SCA is leading them. High up in the mountains, the blizzard is thick and keeping together will be difficult. It is easy to get lost, snowdrifts are high and often seeing past the end of their hand is a challenge.

But as the blizzard swirls it is possible to see three figures on the highest peak. It is hard to see through the storm but as they get closer it is clear that one of the figures at least, can see them.

“Icey you have managed to navigate my storm.” The voice is cold and doesn’t sound surprised at all. Despite the distance and the howling winds it is not hard to hear him, as if the wind was carrying the voice from him to you.

“Snow problem of course, you can’t stop me now.” There’s a rumble, a ripple that seems to move the earth itself, enough to knock them off their feet if they don’t brace themselves.

A moment later from all around them snowmen rise, wielding sharp icicles in both hands they stand between the red team and Professor Chill. Laughter echoes through the storm.

It has been a tough four days, constant fighting, snatching sleep when they can. But the town is still standing, albeit buried in snow.

The morning of the tenth day of Domino has been the same as the previous four, terrible weather, monsters throwing snowballs. Cold so heavy it is almost impossible to remember being warm.

But then there is a rumble, the snow itself seems to ripple. Then there is a lurch, as if the ground itself moved. It is strong enough to throw them down into the snow. The ground continues to shake, there is laughter in the storm, swirling around them.

In front of them something starts to rise from the ground, a block of ice, formless at first it rises up to tower above them. Up and up, as high as a house it rises before it seems to shake and ice falls to the ground. Shards of ice, sharp as razors fall down around them like rain.

When it is safe to look up they will see the ice block has form, a humanoid form. Fists like boulders, a giant made entirely of ice.

It steps forward, heading towards the town.

Four days of ice maze, four days of cold, four days of wandering lost, falling into traps and slowly getting closer to the centre of the labyrinth.

There is very little warning in the labyrinth, those nearer the outer walls may see the storm get more intense outside but their first real indication that something is wrong is when the world lurches.

Parts of the maze have moved before, passages opening and closing. But now the whole labyrinth moves, shaking and twisting, spinning in the sky, as if it were trying to shake those inside out. They may be able brace themselves, they may be thrown down passageways, into ice walls.

The whole place seems to get colder. An attempt to freeze them out. The shaking only lasts a few minutes, but it is intense.

But even this attempt at getting rid of them isn’t enough it seems, because those close enough will soon find themselves entering through the last gap in the ice. To the machine room itself. Indeed it might be that they were flung closer by the shaking itself.

Once everyone was found and brought together the mission became one of keeping all the townspeople fed and calm. The townspeople are anxious about their homes and about those who had not made it into the tunnel. The voidtreckers can only trust their friends on the other teams to do their parts.

On the tenth day of the month of domino, four days after they arrived on the planet the ground begins to shake. Though it is faint, anyone near a tunnel leading to outside will hear the echoes of laughter on the wind.

The ground continues to shake, throwing people off their feet and causing the ceiling to start to crumble. Another shake, a crash and the main tunnel leading away from the cavern starts to collapse. The smaller tunnels crumble around them.

Within moments it is pitch black, no light at all. For a few moments there is only a terrible darkness and the cries of townspeople and perhaps voidtreckers. Then everybody’s Safety Control Apparatus begins to glow faintly. Any one who looks at it will see a third symbol next to the information and map ones. Like a small sunburst. If they tap it their SCA will emit a bright light, a flashlight.

With lights once more it will be apparent they are trapped in the cavern. The main tunnel is blocked completely but some of the smaller tunnels have suffered only small cave ins and so it should be possible to clear them and escape.

Keep everyone calm, organise an escape route. Lead the people to safety.
