Murphy's quest

Murphy saw how bad his companions were suffering from the cold and wanted to try and help. He remembered a salve that an elder Druid once told him about that will help the skin with frostbite and also help keep you warm through the night. He decided to take a stroll from camp and see if he could find the herbs & roots needed to make the concoction. He finds a few of the components but realizes that he needs to climb a pretty steep slope to get to the rest. He pulls out his brand new climbing gear and attempts the climb.

After several failed attempts he finally makes his way partially up the mountain. He almost reached the small plateau but slips and falls. Thankfully he secured a piton a few feet down. But the force of the fall slams him into the side of the mountain. He loses consciousness. Murphy doesn't know how long he was dangling there or what actually woke him up, but the icicle of frozen blood from his broken nose tells him he was here for a bit. He knows the cold will surely be his end if he doesn't do something. The weather turns from bad to worse and a blizzard begins. He manages to somehow regain his composure and continue the climb. Thankfully he makes it up the rest of the way this time.

He collects the remaining ingredients he needs but the storm rages on. He finds a small cave to take shelter. He will need to wait for the storm to die down before he can climb down.
Inside the cave he casts a light spell to see if there is anything lurking inside. Towards the rear of the cave he sees a peculiar area blanketed in darkness that his spell will not penetrate. He takes a breath and enters the darkness. He trips on something on the ground and realizes it is an amulet. Back in the light he inspects his discovery. It is shaped like a small wooden wolf. Murphy takes his chances and puts on the amulet. His druid power is increased and he is now able to shape shift!

After the storm  stops, he attempts his decent back down the mountain to the campsite. Before he knows what went wrong, he finds himself falling.

He breaks both of his legs on impact. The snow begins to fall again.
