After being approached by a burly warrior by the name of Hrothgar in the Winter's Cradle Tavern in Easthaven our party of adventurers talks to the barkeep about getting some spirits to warm their bones from the vicious bite of  the Dale winds. Unfortunately the barkeep has a small fire-beetle infestation in her cellar that she needs you to take care of first. So head down the stairs behind the bar and kill all of the fire beetles. Once the vermin are dead, head back up the stairs and talk to the barkeep to receive your reward.

Upon exiting the tavern you have two options you can either head to Pomab's Emporium and equip your characters or you can head to the left towards a group of flipped over boats where you should meet a young man named Jhonen who has a tune stuck in his head. If you promise to help him out with his problem he will reward you. Doing so involves following the dirt road to the west all the way to the south at which point it will eventually meet an out cropping of rock. On that outcrop there should be a blue woman, if you talk to her she will tell you that she has something to give to Jhonen and will give you an item. Return to Jhonen and give him the item then run back to the blue woman and then the quest is completed.

After doing all of this head back to the shack that is directly south of the Tavern and go into it. The old drunken fisherman wants a bottle of wine. This is easy. Go to Pomab's Emporium, outfit your characters if need be and purchase a bottle of wine then head back to the old man. Problem solved.

If you head to the east you will see a boy on the bridge talking about monsters and how they stole his fish. Talk to him and promise to help get his fish back. Then head south and prepare to fight a group of goblins. Kill them, loot their bodies then return to the boy.

Alright so that get's you up to speed with where I'm at. Tomorrow we should talk to Hrothgar and see if he has any work for us.

An Icewind Dale Walkthrough

Icewind Dale is probably one of my favorite games of all times and I figured that I would write a walk through on it while I replayed it. In each post I will detail the quests and how I go about completing them over the course of my playing. In my first "official" post I'm going to cover my characters' stats, load outs and spell selections. So stick with me, this could be a rather interesting adventure.
