I think we should head tot he bridge over starmantle. The shortest route should be best, though we'll have to climb up and then back down. Tehre may be some fights along the way, but we've already fought an elemental within a block's radius: if we take longer here, we'll likely attract just as much danger to ourselves... and the dwarf's gone! Wait, where's his head... eyes open, folks!

Jo scans the scenery for the dwarf's head; if the body's gone, where with the rest of it?!

Otherwise, he leads the others through the snow.
