Dungeon magazine 159/Menace of the Icy Spire

"Menace of the Icy Spire" is a short adventure for Dungeons & Dragons 4 edition published in Dungeon #159.

""MENACE OF THE ICY SPIRE" is a Dᴜɴɢᴇᴏɴs & Dʀᴀɢᴏɴs® adventure for five characters of 2nd level. The adventure is set in the Fᴏʀɢᴏᴛᴛᴇɴ Rᴇᴀʟᴍs® setting near the town of Loudwater in the Gray Vale. This adventure is designed to work well with the sample adventures found in Chapter 1 of the Fᴏʀɢᴏᴛᴛᴇɴ Rᴇᴀʟᴍs Campaign Guide. In particular, this adventure makes an excellent sequel to Barrow of the Ogre King, which introduces Loudwater and the surrounding area along with several NPCs who would make ideal patrons for sending the PCs on this adventure. However, it is not necessary for the characters to have visited Loudwater previously."

Synopsis
In Eleasis of 1479 DR, a group of adventurers is hired to investigate the unseasonably cold weather in the Gray Vale. Local leaders in Loudwater suspect this is a magical phenomenon emanating from the tower of the dwarven warlock Draigdurroch, who disappeared thirty years ago. The adventurers must investigate Draigdurroch Tower, overcoming frost goblins, ice warriors, and a spirit of winter itself along the way.
