I was recently trying to come up with a quest that would only take a session or two to complete. Since we recently had Halloween and it is going to start getting cold outside, I was thinking about running something similar to the Dyatlov Pass incident, the Donner Party, or the Shining. A spooky quest revolving around cold survival. After looking into various hazards of the mountains, I have found:
Cabin Fever
Hypothermia
Frostbite
High Altitude hazards
Cold Exposure
Wendigo
My party (level 6) is currently heading to kill a mini bbeg on top of a mountain. I would like the environment to be a bigger threat than the creatures inside the base. My current idea is to have a snowstorm hit as they hit the enemies base. After they kill the target, I could have an avalanche bury most of the ground floor in snow the only exit would be on higher floors. Food or the cold would eventually become a problem if they chose to stay in the base. The base is about a week from any town so they would have to find a way to survive during the travel. I may have a wendigo harass them as they travel back to town. It would slowly wear down their wisdom until they finally kill it.
Any ideas or suggestions for dangerous weather and environments?
