# [[Frost Wardens]]
![[Frost Wardens.svg]]
Frost Wardens are automatons created by [[Volluk Azrinae]] that guard areas of [[The Gauntlight]]. They have one real eye and a soul gem in their other eye.
## Characteristics
- Automatons created by Volluk Azrinae
- Have one real eye and a soul gem in their other eye
- Use cold-based area-of-effect attacks
- Can limit movement by creating walls and slowing enemies
- Damage increases over time as the fight continues
## Abilities
- **Walls**: Can create walls to limit movement
- **Area Effect Blizzard**: Can cast area-of-effect blizzard attacks
- **Frost Nova**: Can cast frost nova attacks
- **Movement Limitation**: Can slow enemies and create barriers
- **Escalating Damage**: The longer the fight goes on, the more damage they deal from cold effects
- **Ice Encasement Regeneration**: When damaged, they can encase themselves in ice, which provides regeneration and healing
- **Internal Machines**: When destroyed, smaller machines emerge from within them that recycle materials and report tactical information to [[Volluk Azrinae|Volluk]] (including how they were killed)
## Session Notes
- **Session 099**: The party encountered two Frost Wardens guarding a door in The Gauntlight. They decided not to engage at that time.
- **Session 100**: The party faced Frost Wardens at The Gauntlight. They use cold area-of-effect attacks that limit movement by creating walls and slowing the party. The damage isn't high initially, but the longer the fight goes on, the more damage everyone takes from the cold.
- **Session 101**: The party engaged two Frost Wardens standing on either side of a huge double door with a mechanism in The Gauntlight. One Frost Warden created a Wall of Ice that trapped [[Grumblebum|Grumble]] in a room, while the other used frost bolts and blizzard spells. The constructs gradually chilled the entire party with stacking Chilled status effects. When Frost Warden 1 was reduced to 1 HP, it became encased in a block of ice, demonstrating their defensive mechanism. The Frost Wardens use Tandem Move and Tandem Strike abilities, and can create walls, cast area-effect blizzards, and use frost nova attacks.
- **Session 102**: The party defeated the Frost Wardens after they repeatedly encased themselves in ice to regenerate. [[Grumblebum|Grumble]] and [[Ashnefrotty|Ash]] broke through the ice walls, and [[Jaspen Bond Callistair|Bond]] dealt significant damage. When destroyed, smaller machines emerged from within the Frost Wardens that recycle materials and report tactical information (including how they were killed) to [[Volluk Azrinae|Volluk]].
