Following the clues and an internet search, the detectives took a little side trip to a castle where they thought they might find some answers from a ghost wandering the castle halls. The uncooperative ghost had to be coaxed into talking with them, but they soon found that they were on the wrong track. A narrow escape from the castle's security guards ended their little side-trip rather nicely, leaving the security guards convinced they were dreaming as twelve kids vanished through a magical snake portal.
The detectives continued on to the Welsh village, and soon discovered more clues about dragons and wizards and ancient battles. The adventure soon led into the heartland of Dragon's Eye Detectives, the secret mountain where the Jewel of the Dragon's Eye is hidden. This jewel provides the magic power that makes all of the detectives' magic work. If stolen, their whole operation would fail.
Entering the secret mountain, the Detectives chose the Path of Compassion as their challenge. They soon found themselves being sorely tested as they had to choose how much they would sacrifice for a certain lop-eared creature they rescued along the way. Let's just say that this group of detectives passed the test of compassion with a deep, aqua blue river overflowing with bunny love. And they did pretty well by the spider, too!
The Detectives made it to the heart of the dragon realms with no time to spare. The enemy was there, too, having chosen the Path of Courage. A final magical battle ensued and the detectives prevailed, saving the Jewel of the Dragon's Eye from a thief who meant little good.
Thank you to Lou and Ken for a wonderful start to our adventure! What a fun tracking and trailing event we had that first day--always fun to have parents join us for a game! Images of the adventure may be found here. Artwork may be found here, and the Dragon Warding Stones here.
