Game Fifty-Eight to Sixty-Five - Law, Order, Rats, Liches, and Beholders!

It has been an eventful six months in Dragonreach, with adventures abound!  A quick recap to catch up our fellow adventurers...

In the Fifty-Eighth foray into Dragonreach ("Lawfulness & Order"), a band of heroes hired on as "auxiliary Hellhounds" to police the mean streets of Pyre...

They were quickly tasked to solve the murder ("dun-dun") of a prominent dwarf in the city, and several clues led to the discovery of a deadly love triangle, their accusation of the dwarf's wife, and a trial-by-combat in the Grand Arena of Pyre...

In the Fifty-Ninth foray into Dragonreach ("Trial of the Masters"), a strange portal opened the way to an interdimensional "game show" run by a cabal of liches, where the heroes were forced to compete in games of arcane trivia and deadly battles to win their freedom...or die trying (as was the fate of Dante Aldari, the dwarf barbarian).

In the Sixtieth foray into Dragonreach ("The Ransom"), another band was hired to deliver a ransom for a wealthy merchant's daughter - but things soon went awry as the bandits refused to return the hostage, who had (surprise, surprise) kidnapped herself...

In the Sixty-First foray into Dragonreach ("Die Hard"), a band of guests at the grand opening of a new mercantile guild's tower found themselves in the middle of an attack by its rivals - fortunately, only a few of the heroes were lacking shoes amid all of the broken glass...

In the Sixty-Second foray into Dragonreach ("Rats!"), a band was hired to help map the deadly sewers beneath the island of Croatoan, facing off against an enormous alligator, a vile rat-man, and massive swarms of rats!

In the Sixty-Third foray into Dragonreach ("Deadly Druid"), another band ventured deep into the Isle of Croatoan to battle a rogue druid!  Another casualty, as the halfling hero Melford Winklebottom was slain in the climactic final fight!

In the Sixty-Fourth foray into Dragonreach ("The Assassins"), a band of mercenaries tried to pave the way for a hostile mercantile takeover by assassinating a local lord - who happened to have a mechanical dragon golem under his command...

In the Sixty-Fifth foray into Dragonreach ("Bounty of Beholders"), a band of heroes was hired to track down a massive dragonshard, but needed to rescue a condemned thief to find its location, and battle three separate beholders to claim their prize!

Congratulations to all those who survived these exciting (and deadly) adventures!
