1. Yes, the lake is still partially frozen. Boats can move on the water, but there are also patches of ice.
2. Crossing the lake from Nott to the Singularity shore will take an average of one day each way. Smaller boats may take longer. Soldiers and guards would be stationed around the lake, and the group will have a guard of their own for protection.
3. The shoreline is indeed the edge of Thorne's territory.
While Thorne would be hesitant to let them go far, they can travel about halfway across the lake and stop roughly in the middle of it. From here, they can overhear fishermen whisper about something in the waters stealing their catch.
If you wish, Lucifer or his companions may bribe a fisherman to go further. It'll require a large bribe, but fishermen in Nott are desperate and it would be possible to bluff a bribe. They can watch the fisherman travel across the lake. Along his journey, the thin ice will crack and a large tentacled creature full of teeth will attack. The fisherman will be eaten alive in a gory scene.
While it's distracted with its meal, the group might want to take advantage and leave before it gives chase.
Asking local experts will reveal this creature is a dosarak which hails from deep in the ocean. The creature being found in a freshwater lake is unprecedented. Since the waters are not its natural habitat, the creature will perish eventually on its own.
