I ran this as a holiday one-off "dream sequence" for the party, and had them retain the magic items after awakening due to some Hoovale Christmas miracle. They enjoyed the content all the way through! Warning if you're getting this: don't think there's one "scene" in here because it provides one map. If you don't want to do theatre of the mind for most of it, be prepared to have: Hoovale, a steep snowy path, and the cave (the map provided).
