Embark on a thrilling adventure that challenges your team's communication, leadership, and collaboration skills in a frosty dungeon filled with puzzles, traps, and mythical treasures.
Effective communication is essential for problem-solving, sharing critical information, and making decisions under pressure.
In the Adventure
Players must communicate clearly when solving the rune puzzle or disarming traps.
During combat, especially in the final battle, sharing updates on health, position, and strategy is crucial.
When deciding what to do with the Crown of Thrym, open dialogue ensures everyone's input is considered.
DM Focus
Encourage open, clear communication between party members. Prompt players to share information they discover and ensure that everyone's input is valued, especially during high-pressure situations.
Leadership and Decision-Making

What It Teaches
Leadership is about guiding a team through challenges, delegating tasks, and making critical decisions—especially when dealing with high-stakes situations like the Crown of Thrym.

In the Adventure
Players must decide how to approach puzzles, traps, and combat encounters, with leadership emerging naturally. The final decision regarding the crown's fate tests the leader's ability to weigh risks, rewards, and the team's input.

DM Focus
Pay attention to how leadership emerges during key moments. Encourage the group leader (or rotating leadership) to involve others in decision-making and reflect on the outcomes of those decisions, especially after the final choice regarding the crown.
Collaboration and Teamwork
What It Teaches
Success in this adventure relies heavily on teamwork. Each character's strengths must be utilized to achieve the group's goals, from handling environmental hazards to defeating the final boss.
In the Adventure
Solving puzzles, overcoming traps, and engaging in combat require the party to work together. No one character can handle all challenges alone. In the final battle, the team must coordinate their efforts to bring down the Guardian and protect each other.
DM Focus
Emphasize moments where teamwork leads to success. Encourage the party to collaborate when facing challenges, and highlight how their combined efforts allowed them to overcome obstacles they wouldn't have been able to handle individually.
