Quests

• Reaching Further: The leader of Steelmont contracted a group of adventurers to scout out the eastern steppe region and report back on any potential dangers in the area. The group encounters large bulls, killer birds, and cordial centaurs.

• Profitable Prospects: The party guarded a group of prospectors from steelmont who were surveying the territory for stability. They strayed close to the mountain range and were attacked by Chasme at night. Overall the geological survey proved the land was useful for further development.

• When secrets come back to light: A party of adventurers entered a recently uncovered watchtower and met with their very old inhabitants, while plundering everything of value.
• Heads in the Ground: A group of adventurers were hired by an exasperated pastor to find and rid an unknown assailant to their cattle. They neutralised the Axe Beaks which were killing his cattle, and subsequently a Giant Hyena.
• Holy Horse Hill: A pair of two adventurers fittingly ventured into Jaytown, recruiting the first group they laid their eyes on. The party defended a centaur holy site from a triple threat of beasts, before being granted their rewards from an unrelated tribe of centaurs.
• The Tomb of RGB Brothers: Party found the tomb and 3 keys nearby, chose a political favourite ghost prince and abandoned him half-way due to bad luck and overall skill issue. Tomb is still open.
• Tunnels Below Skulltop Tor 1-2: Treygeta, Eubank, Wynox, Ezequiel recovered the stolen cargo from Skulltop cave by killing the Thin Giants inside even though they kept ambushing the party in the narrow tunnels.
