*** One for Frosty. Definitely not a way one should play a ranger :)

*** I stumble upon Xeneth on his reraiding attempt in Redhorn. He has no powers so I go with ambush.
*** He also died two or three times that day already, so I guess was quite hyped up and made a lot 
*** of mistakes because of that. So this log is just about how one abuses ambush onslaught in a badly planned combat.

Xeneth stumbles through some branches and vines, but quickly kicks them off.
A snare tells you 'Someone has walked right through your poorly designed snares.'

Near Redhorn Gate
  The steep path winds its way up to the pass.  The snow piles into small
drifts here where it isn't ankle-deep.  The cliff looms above you to the
north as high as the chasm on the south side of the path is deep.  The rubble
partially blocking the path is slick with ice.  To the east the path 
continues up to the top of the pass, known as Redhorn Gate.  The snowdrifts
seem to be deeper in that direction.  To the west the path descends to warmer,
friendlier climes.

  The winds howl fiercely through the pass.  Here on the western side of the
pass, the snow piles into drifts as high as the cliffs.  A gigantic snow
drift lies directly across the pass, blocking any attempts to go further
to the east.  The freezing cold cuts right down to your bones.  The way
down to warmer climes lies to the west.

Scarring the path here is a horrendous black crack in the earth, forever
filled with a solid piece of the purest white stone.

An aura of cold fills this area, dropping the temperature below freezing.
