Fresh powder that falls on a calm day isn't dense. This type of snowpack is prone to avalanches, but even a battle as fierce as the one moments ago hadn't triggered one. For it to happen now was suspicious.
That was why Colin was certain Lady Rime had to be behind this.
He quickly pieced together the sequence of events in his mind.
'Lady Rime has already spent most of her Power on the winter disaster. Assuming that Gods must expend power to influence the physical world, she probably didn't intend to use her Divine Power to create an avalanche at first.'
'For her, the most cost-effective solution would have been to have her followers deal with the problem.'
'After all, granting Power to her followers consumes far less energy than conjuring an avalanche from nothing.'
'So when the Skeletons first appeared, she must have thought the Orc Tribe and the Druid would be enough to handle it.'
