The Barrow of King Jotunr: While the PC's are travelling, a storm blows in, and as darkness falls the band is attacked by a band of goblins on worgs, and scattered as the storm turns to blizzard. With the defeat or retreat of the goblin band, there is no chance that the PC's will be able to find each other, or even finding the road. Instead, their first priority needs to be finding shelter. In the blinding snow, even darkvision is limited. On a hilltop, briefly glimpsed in the distance, the PC's can see an artificial structure, an old Noladen fort. The PC's will find a simple rock wall around the summit of hill, but nothing useful within. However, a little bit of searching will lead to the discovery of a pathway down - a stone door, plainly copied from the dwarves, bars the way.
King Jotunr is an unusual sort of wight, cursed by his own wrath and greed. Once his body is destroyed, he will remain quiescent for a time. After a full cycle of the moon, he will reform as a Wraith that will manifest near the location of his lost sword. he will then attempt to slay the bearer of the sword, reanimate the corpse as a Wight, and return to his barrow to slumber again until he is again awoken by intruders.
