The Fallbacks have plundered the Lost Lord of Loudwater’s tomb, but the treasure may not be worth the trouble. As a fearsome white dragon, apparently awoken by the Fallbacks’ heist, descends upon Loudwater, the party rushes to defend the town. Can they fend off the draconic menace before it freezes all of Loudwater? Also, a new challenge arises: the Tournament of Heroes! It’s the perfect opportunity for the Fallbacks to show up Angrilyne’s team, if they can win . . .
