Events:

- A ragtag band of fools ascended Mt Death Frost, hunting old gold and lost family and eternal life. (50 exp)

- They met an old man in a ramshackle hut. He told them that the place atop the mountain was cursed and attempted to stop them climbing to their doom. They stabbed him and burnt him and left his still-burning corpse in the snow (50 exp)

- They reached a graveyard past a grim hanging tree. They stole the hangman's noose and one carved their name into the bark. It bled human blood. (50 exp)

- They peered into the house on the mountain, finding it made of woodgrained stone and covered in writing in a tongue long forgotten. (50 exp)

- The back door was swinging open, footprints leading away through the snow, so they entered. Inside was a bedroom with abandoned climbing gear. They stole it all. (50 exp)

- They explored the house further, finding a painting of themselves and a huge skin-bound book filled with names. A deer's head on the wall had glassy eyes. They took those too. (50 exp)

- The trapdoor sprang open with a scream, and they lowered the Dwarf down to take a look. She found a hallway of screaming faces. They followed. (50 exp)

- The hallway ended in a door with a demon-faced lock. They opened it and entered a room of left hands, then emerged into a doomed chapel strung with twelve skulls. (50 exp)

- The skulls began dropping as they explored further in, finding a door and an altar and a basin full of teeth. The chapel's dark organ claimed the life of the Cleric when he tinkled the keys, dying in a burst of yellow mold. They used his teeth as an offering to open the door. (50 exp)

- Inside there was a crossroads, and a singing static noise could be heard. There was an entrance to an embalming room of some kind. A book within detailed the creation of flesh constructs and countless bones. (50 exp)

- A strange door unlocked when a wheel was turned, inside there were countless bodies interred behind smooth ice. On the ground, a dead Dwarf whose hands were closed around a smooth sphere, wearing armour and clothes unfamiliar. (50 exp)

- Skulls continued to fall as they continued to explore, finding a crypt full of even more bodies. They desecrated corpses for treasure, and found a musical score entitled The Core Remains. (50 exp)

- They found a room of strange history books and an ocular device that allowed them to be read. They stole it and left. (50 exp)

- At the end of the hallway a further vault door was found. They opened it and found an eye whose pupil was many eyes. Two turned back to investigate a second door from the chapel, two ascended to the surface to play the Core Remains on the harpsichord in the house, two kept going. (50 exp)

- The two who kept going saw a man's jellied head framed in the door singing the static. The two who went to the surface tried the harpsichord, it didn't play a note. One of those two descended to try the pipe organ. We end on a cliffhanger. (50 exp)
