Adventurers helped protect Demon’s-Well from most of the storm damage in the week prior, and the town was mostly unharmed by the storm. One half of the group left town and traveled north to take out a group of gravediggers headed towards the Necropolis and seek an audience with the Oracle Demon; they dealt with most of the undead and received a vision. The other half of the group stayed in town to investigate a third inn and the final inn in the region – the Horn and Calling – burning down in recent weeks. At each of the inns they found signs of demonic influence, the strange dark earth and water at the oases, and a handful of other clues. They also pitched in to Demon’s-Well’s fortification preparations in advance of All Hallows.

As All Hallows bore down on Gildmark and the rest the world, adventurers set to defending Demon’s-Well from an onslaught of demons, undead, haunts, hags, and other beings sieging the city. The city’s fortifications were broken and several demons made it inside the city. After assisting during the first wave of enemies, adventurers quickly made their way out to the town’s farms where a beastlike greater demon had shown up at a shrine built by the raiders; they were able to take it down and hold it until a soldier was able to come exorcise it.
