Day 286, Year 548

I spent most of the holiday season away from Puddleby and the Bawkmas
festivities; instead wandering alone in the forests of Lok’Groton,
spending my time with the trees. Now that I’ve settled my matters of
the spirit, I’ve returned to Puddleby once more, in search of fresh
adventures.

Today I got the chance to go exploring on Devil’s Isle, with the invitation of Kiriel D’Sol to join an exploratory party headed for the Drake Den.

Kiriel was recently abducted by a Fire Drake and taken to its lair, nearly seven years since the last recorded incident of such an attack. The Drake Den has been nearly empty
for the past few years, so this was particularly puzzling. Our party
set off for the Drake Den, determined to solve this puzzle.

Crawling through McBolies

Our party made its way through Devil’s Isle under the leadership of
Kiriel, and we were able to overcome the many challenges of Devil’s
Isle with relative ease; from the narrow, claustraphobic passages of
McBolie’s Cavern to the deadly flame-throwing Lava Walkers.

Finally, we made our way to the very heart of the volcano of
Devil’s Isle, to the lair of the Fire Drakes. However, to our
disapointment, the Den was completely empty save for rats– which was
strange, since when I scanned the cave for creatures, I sensed the
presence of a Fire Drake.

A mental projection of the Fire Drake

We spent serveal hours searching the cavern for the Drake, or for
any secret passages in which it could be hiding, but we could find
nothing. In the end we left the Den with more questions than we had
when we arrived, and none of the answers. The Drake Den remains one of
the greatest mysteries of our isles.
