KneeTheCap: OOC: What was easier?
OOC: Defeating the demons. Thought it would be a tougher challenge but the 6 on 2 (or rather, 3 on 1) was enough to overpower them relatively quickly
_____________________________________________________________________
Your journey through the Unquenched Marshes is long and plodding. You do not have enough gold for a stay at the inn in Endurse M'Koof, and though the villagers are friendly enough, they refuse to put you up for the night.
Instead, you are left to camp on the outskirts of the settlement. You find little rest here.
OOC: No HP recovered.
The journey from Endurse M'Koof to Hammerhall is surprisingly quick, as you have begun to learn how to travel through the marshes. By late afternoon the next day, you have arrived at the gates of Hammerhall.
OOC: Quest 1 completed. Will save experience points until the end of the campaign.

Quest 2: Investigate Kemuel's Disappearance in Hammerhall
You have arrived at the iron gates of Hammerhall. A watchtower stands above you, some fifty feet tall. Despite the intimidating presence of a cadre of guards, you are quickly ushered into the city with little hassle.
The settlement bustles with trade. Merchants have come here from all around the world to ply their wares.
Nearby, several Vasar traders guide a caravan of camels into the marketplace. You wonder how camels could have traversed the marshes safely, especially while they are burdened down by barrels and crates.
Inside the city, the streets are neatly paved and travel is easy. The public areas are loud and crowded.
You suspect that Kemuel is somewhere in the city, having come willingly or unwillingly. Long ago, he belonged to an order named the Knights of the Ton. When the King fell out of favor, so too did the Knights. Most were rounded up and executed, but Kemuel managed to escape alive and joined the Black Brigade. It is your mission to find him and ensure his safety. You will need his help in the upcoming war against the minions of the Lich and their servants ("the primitives") if they should ever return.

Places the party can visit in Hammerhall:
1. Longfellow's Inn (A large inn with a bar)
2. A small, unnamed tavern.
3. The commercial district (though you do not have enough gold to actually buy anything right now.)
4. An unidentified temple.
5. The palace.
These are the best options, but you can feel free to explore other areas if you would like. Or, you can ask whether there are certain types of places in the city and I will let you know.
So, where to? We'll head out as soon as the party has reached a rough consensus on where they want to go.
