The Firecross bridge on Mount Hotenow has been captured! The fire giant Grumthrox the Relentless and his minions have taken control of the bridge, cutting off the Hillborn expedition. It is up to you to slay one of the most vicious of the giant generals and regain control of the bridge and to protect Neverwinter.

Event Begins: June 4, 2015 at 10 A.M. PDT (Pacific)

Event Ends: June 8, 2015 at 10 A.M. PDT (Pacific)

If you and your party successfully reclaim the bridge, you could be rewarded with amazing items, which include: the Flame Sprite companion, unique dyes, brutal enchantments, and of course Medallions of Battle. These medallions can be redeemed from the event vendor, in Protector’s Enclave, for unique weapon transmutes, Refiner’s Cache, and dyes.

Sword Coast Adventures will also feature a special dungeon to battle the Fire Giant Grumthrox and Medallions of Battle might also drop from all challenges within it.

In addition to the equipment drops from slain creatures (specific to your level), players could receive the following items:

Companion – Flame Sprite

Flame Sprites have a fickle temperament, but an everlasting love of fire. They will sometimes partner with adventurers in pursuit of greater fires. The Flame Sprite companion has initial power points in Power, Critical Strike, and Armor Penetration, along with two offensive slots and one defensive slot for Runestones.

As a green quality companion, the Sprite has a max rank of 20, providing you with three skins from which to pick before upgrading the companion to unlock the fourth.

The Flame Sprite has three powers and one active bonus:

Active Bonus:

Action Point Gain

Twin Ember

The Flame Sprite shoots two flaming arrows that burn the target

Spark Arrow

The Flame Sprite’s spark arrow ignites in a bright flash, dazing victims for 1 second. The daze cannot activate more than once every 22 seconds.

Combustive Arrows

Flame Sprites wield combustive arrows, sometimes setting foes alight and causing allies to glow.

Weapon Transmutes- Your weapons will glow orange like the lava surrounding Mount Hotenow

Searing Magma Dye Pack

A set of bright red, golden and orange, dyes matching the searing heat of the magma deep within Mt. Hotenow.

Brutal Enchantment – You could receive enchantments from rank 1 up to rank 5 as monster drops and from the reward chest.

Refiner's Cache - This cache contains one random enchantment or runestone between rank 2 to 4, possibly even a Brutal Enchantment, Cruel Enchantment, or Savage Enchantment.
