The group had been traversing the snowy landscape of the fields for some time before Grundy had his abrupt bath in the frigid water. A large wave of wet snow and chunks of ice had accompanied his fall, and his subsequent rescue by Tartaros. Fun! The snowy behemoth didn't mind the chill at all as he picked himself up from the snowbank he'd landed in, glad his instincts about the Armor Man were somewhat correct. He was a friend too. Maybe one that wouldn't mind a friendly roughhousing once in a while either.

A snowball hit the back of Grundy's head and he turned his neck around slightly to find the troll boy, Kark Hat, in the middle of throwing another powdery projectile his way. This one hit the middle of his face and exploded silently into a cloud of floating ice crystals and dust.
"Just a reminder to watch where you're going, lardass!" The troll hissed, wisps of condensed vapor drifting up lazily from his head.
As per his usual reaction to the troll's vitriol, the awkward zombie shrugged and turned his head around again. He didn't let this action pass without comment, however; after a few paces, Grundy rumbled. "KARK HAT NEED TO REMEMBER GRUNDY EASILY ROLL HIM INTO SNOWMAN". The troll elected to stay silent, and a small, rumbling chuckle issued soon after from the hulk's throat.
Finally, the motley band of wanderers reached the base of the white spire they had been journeying towards. The large, bulky travelers such as Armor Man and the red lizard person had paused alongside Solomon's giant frame; the stairs did not look that stable. Fortunately, the brash angry troll pushed ahead of them ( after a careful lambasting) and promptly almost fell on his ass. Recovering, he clambered up the icy stairway and left the less nimble travelers behind in the icy wind. Valor Ree, the plant wizard in the dress wandered off to the side and Grundy watched as his brightly colored friend investigated near the base of the tower. The mage had already been looking somewhat diminished in this cold, but now he was positively shivering.
Reluctantly, Grundy sighed and started up the grand staircase. Jade and her dogfriend had already left them in the dust and he wasn't feeling too great about his chances if he got separated from the rest of them. He could get bored very quickly wandering this snowy oblivion if he didn't have his friends to remind him why exactly he was here. Large boots bit deeply into the ice, his fashion sense (and weight) serving him well. The treads on the bottom of his feet afforded him purchase as he slowly made his way up the stairs, followed by the others. One hand on the side of the building to steady himself, they all finally made it up to the landing...
Only to find that the revenant's huge frame prevented him from entering. The door was larger than normal, but Grundy could see he wouldn't be able to force himself inside without smashing up the wall at least a little bit. He resolved to wait outside until they departed again; his hearing picked up snatches of Jade's announcement. Within a few moments, they were off again down the glacier stairs. However, the childlike zombie decided to have a little fun this time, and dove down the icy walkway. Sledding along his front, he yelled in delight as he whizzed past a startled Jade and her dog friend, only to land in a heap at the bottom, slightly dizzy.
