Encounter 1

The icy tunnel gets a little wider and a lot taller. Great dimpled sculptures of ice form on the walls, the result of dripping water and sliding stone. The nooks and crannies get deeper as the tunnel gets taller. Occasional spars of ice bridge the path.

Snorunt and Swinub are occasionally visible on the icy ramparts. Swiftfire's warmth (and light, of course) is entirely necessary at this point.

As you descend between a particularly impressive icy palace, twinkling with embedded objects, you hear a welcoming "Cawwww!" The call is very friendly and curious, and followed by a flapping of clumsy wings. A swarm of tiny Delibird streaks overhead, so fast it is little more than a red and white blur, and drops Presents on the heads of the party!

Minor explosions go off. Pokemon are healed, poisoned, or damaged; or find themselves clutching actual gifts. Little stoneware mugs of hot, milky liquid and funny square tablets end up in the hands of every human.

Pleased with their gift giving, the Delibird come to roost on the icy formations high above. They look down at you expectantly.

With that surprise blue gem Heart give a thank nod to Delibird. Heart himself get a Ice tablet in his hands. The tablet contains pictographs. A Caterpie is facing a Moltres. The Caterpie is wearing a crown. It looks happy. "Guys? I think you should see this." Then Heart show his tablet.
