Games Sixty-Six through Seventy-Two: Lizard Men, Dalton, Goblin Tanks, Gratuitous Nudity, Forsaken, and Even an Election!

It has been an eventful few months in Dragonreach, since the near destruction of the city by an ancient red dragon!  A quick recap to catch up our fellow adventurers...

In the Sixty-Sixth foray into Dragonreach ("Evil Swamp"), a band of heroes boarded a boat to explore a deadly swamp and hunt down a fearsome tribe of lizard men who had been attacking merchants.  A short stop at a cursed swamp island was ill-advised, and led to the party's ship almost being sunk by a horde of skeletons...

And, the lizard-men island was only cleared through a deadly battle...

In the Sixty-Seventh foray into Dragonreach ("Roadhouse"), a band of heroes took a job to clean up a remote tavern plagued by Duergar bandits, extortionist kung-fu monks from the Jade Wasps, and other troubles...

In the Sixty-Eighth foray into Dragonreach ("Dirty Business"), a band plunged into the ancient sewers beneath Dragonreach, facing off against ratmen and vampires, racing against rivals to find the lost Temple of Swords...

In the Sixty-Ninth foray into Dragonreach ("The Great Goblin Machine"), a band was hired by the Overlord to track down some goblins who had absconded with a terrible war machine... 

In the Seventieth foray into Dragonreach ("Naked and Afraid"), a band woke on a strange island drugged and bereft of their equipment, and hunted for sport by an evil adventurer...

In the Seventy-First  foray into Dragonreach ("Only Murderers in the Fort"), a band of heroes were hired to hold a remote fort against an army of Forsaken barbarians -- even while a devious murderer was picking off the defenders...

In the Seventy-Second foray into Dragonreach ("The Conclave"), a band hired on as security for the Arcane Conclave, which was holding an election for the new High Archmagus.  Things did not go as planned...

Fortunately, a reputable wizard won the election...

Game Fifty-Seven - The Dragonreach Halloween Spooktacular!

In the Fifty-Seventh foray into Dragonreach, a band of brave (or foolish) adventurers accepted an invitation from the vampire lord Voivode Strigori Von Hammerstein ... a challenge that they would be receive 10,000 gold marks if they could simply survive a single night in his home of Witchfire Keep.  Being a sporting chap, he allowed them until midnight before he would begin to hunt them...

A bold band accepted the challenge, only to find they were not alone - other mercenaries and heroes had accepted as well, only to fall upon one another with swords and axes in their haste to claim the vampire lord's treasures for their own!  Many horrors were found, including Lord Stigori's infant "child"...

But eventually, a handful of survivors faced off against the vampire lord himself...

He was, apparently, slain, although no body was recovered.  At dawn, the heroes fled with the treasure they had gained, vowing never to return...
