[#DUNGEON23] Mountain of the Frost Baron - Jan 16 to Jan 22, 2023

Week 3 - A Day Late

The third week of Dungeon23 has ended, and I'm a day late! Whoops. However, I'm very excited for the remainder of the month. The next couple weeks will be focusing on the special encounters within Craghopper Mine, the transitional areas between Craghopper Mine and Steepwalker Pass/Darkwater Crag, and the city of Argukhart!
