I needed to seek shelter away from the storm of ice and hail immediately or become a frozen, battered corpse. My vision was obscured in the fury of the storm. Fortunately, True Sight allowed me to see a very large door into a larger building just a dozen yards away. Knowing that I had no other choice, I entered the building, closed the door, and rested, in an effort to regain my strength. Fortunately I was able to fully rest without being discovered. My mind and body refreshed, I felt my confidence rise. In the distance I spotted a hulking helmeted figure. It was another one of those blue humanoid giants. At the same time, he focused his gaze upon me, and lifted his incredibly large ice-imbued sword. He began to charge. This time, I was prepared. My first two spells were blazing columns of fire, infused with some of the divine power of Nature. As expected, the giant recoiled in pain, harshly affected by the power of these spells. He got closer at this point, and was nearly in range with his sword. It didn't matter though - he felt the full force of my empowered waves of fire and no longer had the power to fight. I thanked Nature for this power and continued on. -Excerpt from Journey to the Peaks by Arch Druid Kaerven, Original Member of the Circle of Temperance
