Clear the Ruins of Slandpre (Sland-pur-eh)

Slandpre was once a prosperous city but it has long since been overrun by orcs and goblins some three-hundred years ago, the creatures still dwell there and nobody has cleared the now ruined city. But that is going to change, a paladin named Remington Mornshield has been tasked by his god, Helm, the god of guardians, protection, and protectors to clear the city's ruins so that they may be restored and the city be turned into the holy city of Helm. The paladin needs help though and is searching for allies in nearby towns and cities. It is his goal to slay and scare off everything in the city and stay there until clerics and others of his order arrive to and consecrate the city. The featured stats are for monsters that the players will face as well as the paladin.

The ruins are difficult to traverse and counts as difficult terrain that slows player speed by 1/2. The difficult terrain is stone, walls, roots, crevices, skeletal bodies, and other rocks as well as ferns and weeds.
