Game Seventy-Five: Curse Collectors

 In the Seventy-Fifth foray into Dragonreach, a band of heroes took a job from Guzmondo the Magnificient, a dealer in questionable magical items who had supplied many an adventurer...

Guzmondo had mistakenly sold a shipment of cursed and dangerous items.  He needed them recovered, quickly, lest they kill someone and the Arcane Conclave hold him responsible.

The heroes rushed to a nearby market, where some of the purchasers could be found.  But, unfortunately, several of the cursed items were triggered - summoning hellhounds and several quasits.  And, the cursed, uncontrollable flying carpet was racing across the sky bearing a terrified wizard atop it...

After restoring order, the band scoured the city, tracking down each item (freeing a noble who could not stop dancing in his new magic shoes, stealing a berserking axe from a hulking barbarian, and recovering a "mummy staff" that was offered at the circus as a prize), and finally managing to disable the flying carpet and rescue the terrified wizard. 

Guzmondo's business was thus saved - to the great relief of every adventurer who enjoys his patented "I Can't Believe It's Not Mana" potions. 

Dragonreach Catchup: Games Fifty-Five and Fifty-Six - Circus of Death, and the Siege of Bleakfort!

 In the Fifty-Fifth foray into Dragonreach, a band of younger heroes undertook an investigation to find out who was trying to sabotage Morlan's Circus Spectacular.  

They nearly met their end when the mysterious villain released the circus' lions into a crowd...

They were attacked by a deranged manticore while riding the perilous proto-type "Gobo-Coaster," which the circus' goblin work crew later acknowledged was not yet ready for customers...

And, they finally discovered the culprit was the ringmaster Beebok, whereupon they battled him and his ogre henchmen before a packed crowd in the center ring...

In the Fifty-Sixth foray into Dragonreach, a band of heroes defended the remote outpost of Bleakfort from an angry orc horde from the Savage Tusk Tribe...

And while our heroes considered switching sides, they ultimately drove the orcs off and slew their leader, Chief Rehghar "Gray-Tusk." 

Dragonreach Catchup: Games Forty-Five Through Forty-Eight (Dinosaur Themeparks, Lost Luggage, Bandits, and a Beholder - Oh My!)

Dragonreach has been bustling over the last few months, so another quick catchup...

In the Forty-Fifth foray into Dragonreach, Morlan of the Circus Spectacular hired a seasoned band to help reclaim the legendary "Grand Menagerie" - a theme park deep in the heart of Dragonreach that is full of monsters (even dinosaurs) which are cursed and cannot die!  

Our heroes negotiated entry with the undying overseer of the park, Big Berto, and then dispatched Jonas Hammon - a bardic lich - and his backup band!

In the Forty-Sixth foray into Dragonreach, a band of young heroes agreed to help a wizard move to a new tower.  The band nearly perished when they parked their wagons too close to a portion of the Darkdagger Forest infested with giant spiders, killed (rather handily) the wizard's disgruntled former apprentice, and drove off a Green Dragon Wyrmling that decided the wizard's luggage would make an excellent "starter hoard."

In the Forty-Seventh foray into Dragonreach, a more seasoned band assaulted a ruined monastery in the Tenstep Forest infested with bandits.  Since the bandits seemed too numerous to face head-on, the party loosed a pack of shadows from the crypts underneath the ruins and allowed them to deal with the bandits...

And, in the Forty-Eighth foray into Dragonreach, a band of skilled adventurers undertook a quest to clear out an old wizard's tower, only to find that death - and a dreaded Beholder - awaited them inside!
