Bel has one final task for us as we attempt to get our plan to save Elturel in order. Along the way, we encounter Zariel for the first time...

Note: you will need to have completed the previous two Descent into Avernus Adventures, Questlines and Bel's Forge, in order to access these new Adventures.

The Sibriex

Follow Bel's instructions and find the Sibriex before it's too late for Elturel.

• Variant: The Archduke's Blessing — Follow Bel's instructions while a cultist of Zariel preaches to your enemies.
  • A Cultist of Zariel arrives in each area to celebrate Zariel. The cultist has 4 armored hit points and deals 300% additional damage.
  • While the Cultist of Zariel is on screen, bosses cannot be damaged.
  Reach area 500.

Wrecked Flying Fortress

Explore the flying fortress to find the adamantine rods for Bel.

Thanksgiving Time!

The residents of The Commons are preparing for a massive feast to celebrate the end of harvest season, and of course they need your expertise at finding things in bushes!

First and foremost, it's all about helping the chefs fill their food stations to the brim - and beyond. There's three of them for three types of meals, so you'll be collecting Meat, Veggies and of course Desserts to feed the hungry masses of Bushwhackia! Can you make all the Pristine Food? Keep doing turn-ins to achieve it!

On the subject of food - four of the guests have promised they would bring a dish to share, but they've forgotten ingredients.

And then, there's the problem of the Turkeys. Apparently, they need to be rescued in some fashion, so you'll need to get on that. You have the whole event to complete it.

Once again we're celebrating other harvest festivals around the world and hosting an inflatable surprise. They'll unlock as the event goes on. And tune later in the event for a parade!

Of course, it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the Black Friday questline introduced in a previous year, and a fridge to store all those leftovers!

If you can complete the event with 100%, you'll earn the Thanksgiving Pet Piece! Collect all 2020 holiday pet pieces to craft a unique pet!

"Will you be my friend?" the young halfling shyly asked.

Penelope "Half-Pint" joins her friends Avren, Freely, and Briv Steelmarrow from D&D Beyond's Silver & Steel & Beyond Heroes, and is eager to meet her new friends on the Idle Champions roster, with Feast of the Moon 4.

It's time for the latest Idle Champion Spotlight, and this delightful druid does it all: Support, Gold Find, and Healing!

I. A Delightful Druid and Everyone's Friend

Penelope "Half-Pint" is a halfling who just wants to be everyone's best friend, even if they are evil, or a plant, or a rock. With friends that already include a treant named Neverember and a clan of chwinga that have adopted her, Penelope is ready for anything! She has the heart of a true hero and will always stand by her friends until she goes into shrub mode of course.

Penelope is a Support, Gold Find, and Healing Champion. She buffs party members with her Chwinga Mask based on their roles, increasing healing, damage, and Gold Find with the number of Story Time stacks she has. When you want to add Penelope to your formation, you can swap her with Arkhan (Slot 12).

II. Penelope's Stats

Race: Halfling	Alignment: Chaotic Good
Class: Druid (Circle of the Moon) / Warlock	Gender: Female
Age: 33	Affiliation: none

STR: 10	DEX: 16	CON: 14
INT: 8	WIS: 17	CHA: 14

Role: Support, Gold Find, Healing

Eligible for Patrons: Mirt the Moneylender, Vajra Safahr

Slot: 12, (Arkhan)

III. Penelope's Design

It's always a joy to work with a passionate creator to bring their character to life as a Champion in our game, and working with D&D Beyond's Hope LaVelle was no exception, and working with her is just as delightful as the character she portrays.

Penelope is a naive, young, happy go lucky halfling who just wants to be your friend. She is a Support, Gold Find, and Healing Champion who buffs Champions based on their role(s) and alignment, and she does it all with a skip in her step!

With Have You Met My Friends, Penelope tags enemies she can't kill so her friends can finish the job. Chwinga Mask allows her to call chwingas to her aid. While enemies are attacking, Penelope panics and dons the mask. A Chwinga friend appears on her shoulder for the duration of this effect. The Chwinga grants charms to adjacent Champions based on their tags. Tanks will heal a percentage of health every second. Support, Healer, and Gold Find champions will buff Global Damage. Story Time augments Chwinga Mask, based on how efficiently her friends (Champions within 2 slots) are killing enemies.

Her specializations focus on her ability to make friends with everyone, buffing Have You Met My Friends by increasing the damage of the formation based on the alignment on the Good-Evil axis.

Her second specialization augments her basic attack to include an additional terrain changing effect. Minor Eruption adds a small radius of area of effect damage, leaving difficult terrain underneath her enemies. Hey Batter Batter increases her knockback by four times against non-boss enemies and her damage is increased by 200%.

Her ultimate has her casting Erupting Earth, creating difficult terrain to slow and wound enemies.

IV. Penelope's Abilities

Basic Attack

• Go Away — Penelope jumps out and hits the closest enemy with her quarterstaff, dealing damage and knocking it back slightly.

Formation Abilities

• Have You Met My Friends — Whenever Penelope attacks an enemy and doesn't kill it, for the next 30 seconds, all Champions deal 100% additional damage against them.

• Chwinga Mask — Whenever the formation is under attack, Penelope dons her chwinga mask, calling an elemental friend to her aid. It sits on her shoulder while her mask is on. All Champions adjacent to Penelope gain the following charm(s) based on their tags. Charms last as long as the formation is under attack and then for 10 seconds afterward, persisting through area transitions.
  • Healing Charm (Tank Champions) — Penelope heals affected Champions for 30 HP every second. Once Penelope unlocks Story Time, the amount healed every second is increased by a percentage based on 2x the number of Story Time stacks she has.
    • 0 stacks of Story Time = +0% = 30 HP / sec
    • 10 stacks of Story Time = +20% = 36 HP / sec
    • 25 stacks of Story Time = +50% = 45 HP / sec
  • Tools for the Job Charm (Healing, Support, or Gold Find Champions) — Penelope increases the damage of all Champions by 100% for each Champion affected by this charm. This effect stacks multiplicatively and buffs apply to the post-stack value.
    Once Penelope unlocks Story Time, whenever she has more than 15 stacks of Story Time, this effect also increases the party's gold find by 10% of the total buff caused by this charm (including buffs).
  Champions can only gain each charm once even if they have multiple tags.

• Story Time — Each time a Champion within 2 slots of Penelope kills an enemy, add a stack of Story Time. Story Time stacks are capped at 25. The stacks of Story Time affect both charms given by Chwinga Mask. Every time you change areas, the stacks of Story Time are reduced by half, rounded down.

First Specializations

• Keep Your Friends Close — Increases the effect of Have You Met My Friends by 60% for each other Good Champion in the formation (stacking multiplicatively).

• Keep Your Future Friends Closer — Increases the effect of Have You Met My Friends by 40% for each Evil Champion in the formation (stacking multiplicatively).

• Everybody Gets To Be Friends — Increases the effect of Have You Met My Friends by 20% for each other Champion in the formation (stacking multiplicatively).

Second Specializations

• Minor Eruption — Penelope's base attack now causes a minor eruption under the enemy she hits, dealing aoe damage in a small radius and leaving difficult terrain under them for 10 seconds.

• Hey Batter Batter — Penelope's base attack's knockback is now four times as effective against non-boss enemies and her damage is increased by 200%.

Ultimate Ability

• Erupting Earth — A fountain of churned earth and stone erupt in the enemies' path (centered on the nearest enemy), dealing AOE damage in a large radius and creating difficult terrain that lasts for 30 seconds. Enemies that encounter the difficult terrain have their movement slowed by 50% while they travel through it.

V. Penelope's Equipment

Slot 1: Global DPS	Slot 2: Have You Met My Friends	Slot 3: Chwinga Mask - Healing
Slot 4: Chwinga Mask - Damage	Slot 5: Ultimate Damage	Slot 6: Ultimate Cooldown

VI. Conclusion

Will you be Penelope's friend? We are excited to see how well she fits in to the Idle Champions meta. If you have feedback, let us know in a Community Q&A or Champion feedback post on the Idle Champions Subreddit, on the Steam forums, or on the Official Idle Champions Discord!

The Champions are relieved to finally reach Ten-Towns after becoming lost in the snow -- but not everything is as it seems in the Rime. We find ourselves in Lonelywood, one of the northernmost settlements of Icewind Dale, giving us pause as to just how lost we truly were...

Note: you will need to have completed the previous two Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden Adventures, The Giant's Bane Tavern and The Everlasting Rime, in order to access these new Adventures.

Moose Tracks

We are well and truly lost in the Rime, and find ourselves in Lonelywood. Relieved to have found some semblance of civilization, the Champions are immediately beseeched by the speaker of Lonelywood to help with a moose problem...

• Variant: An Awakened Axe — Enter Ten-Towns and help chase down some local wildlife while being chased by an Awakened Axe Beak! A Frost Druid has awakened an axe beak to carve through us. The awakened axe beak arrives in each area with 5 armored hit points, and deals damage equal to 50% of your Champions' max health.
• Reach area 250.

Civilization

We helped Lonelywood, now we find our way into Termalaine. Hearing of some issues with the gem mine, the Champions head out to explore it, and find some kobolds working the mine.

• Variant: Trench Coat Run — Head to - wait - is that... three kobolds in a Trench Coat? Kobolds in a trenchcoat attack in each area. Once initially defeated, the kobolds spill out of the trenchcoat, creating three new enemies!
  • As a kobold in a trenchcoat, they move 100% faster.
  • After the kobolds fall out of the trenchcoat, they each deal 300% additional damage.
  • Only Champions with DEX score of 14 or higher can be used.
• Reach area 275.
