Game Twenty-Three: Mind Flayer Mayhem!

In the 23rd game in Dragonreach, a band of the most-experienced heroes accepted what seemed to be an easy mission:  "rescue" a noble's sister who had joined a sketchy cult (The Shining Path) and was traveling to the cult's "sacred isle" for some sort of religious ceremony.

Beaching their boats on the far side of the isle, the heroes soon realized that the cult was ... unusual.  Then, mind flayers were spotted, and the Shining Path's true nature was revealed.

The heroes battled their way into the cult's cave to find that it not only held more than a dozen mind flayers, but also a horrid elder brain!  

Several heroes were slain in the ensuing battle (including Reggie the Bard and Warchild the Sixth Sword) but restored thanks to healing magic from Grigor, cleric of the Guardian.  Ultimately, the heroes carried off the noblewoman back to Pyre, spreading tales that quickly led to the Shining Path being outlawed.
