Shrieking
Event
Noteworthy. April says that the Legend of Eternal Ice reminds her of the cold crystal we found after our close-up incident with the bizarre sounds outside our camp.

Shrieking
Noises we keep hearing in the night on the way to and from Perfrind.
May be related to the shrieking sounds we heard that knocked out Star and made Arachne unwell.
Close Call
5372-02-14
On our way to New Flavem from Perfrind, we camp in a small cave. Around midnight, the shrieking has grown inhumanly loud.
- Star sends his owl to investigate, but he and the bird both collapse once the bird can see whatever is making the sound.
- Arachne attempts to look but a strong WIS saving throw manages not to pass out, however, she is stricken with a horrible feeling. She describes it as a "thing" that "doesn't look right," and "looks bad." She is not able to articulate much more than the air looks like whatever this thing is.
- The more Arachne thinks or talks about it, the worse she feels.
- Star is unable to be woken up immediately.
- The sound eventually stops.
- At some point after the shrieking stops, there is a shifting sand sound something like footsteps before everything goes completely quiet.
- In the morning there is a crystal that is frozen to the touch.
The Crystal
Found on the desert floor where the sound emanated from, there is a large flat crystal with six sides, wider than Arachne's hand by a few inches.
- Like ice to the touch
- Worked on by a master jeweler, according to Wash
- Makes Arachne wonder if it is some kind of tear
