Thraxas Under Siege
THRAXAS UNDER SIEGE
The city of Turai is menaced by an enemy army and Thraxas is troubled by a city-wide food shortage. With no yams to go with his stew, life hardly seems worth living. Things get worse when the city is gripped by plague and Thraxas finds himself surrounded by illness on all sides. Even the fearless Makri finds herself troubled by the way people are falling ill all around her. Soon you can't move in the Avenging Axe for casualties. To make matters worse, Thraxas is eager to participate in the biggest card game the Avenging Axe has ever seen, but he can't raise the money to join the game. The city needs saving and Thraxas needs money, so there's no alternative for the large investigator to get to work, solve some crime, and earn some gold.
