\nfor the past few years, so this was particularly puzzling. Our party
\nset off for the Drake Den, determined to solve this puzzle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"McBolie](\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/mcbolie.gif\")

\nKiriel, and we were able to overcome the many challenges of Devil’s
\nIsle with relative ease; from the narrow, claustraphobic passages of
\nMcBolie’s Cavern to the deadly flame-throwing Lava Walkers.<\/p>\n
\nDevil’s Isle, to the lair of the Fire Drakes. However, to our
\ndisapointment, the Den was completely empty save for rats– which was
\nstrange, since when I scanned the cave for creatures, I sensed the
\npresence of a Fire Drake.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"Fire](\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/drakescan.gif\")

\nnothing. In the end we left the Den with more questions than we had
\nwhen we arrived, and none of the answers. The Drake Den remains one of
\nthe greatest mysteries of our isles.\n<\/p>\n
