Treefall

The Heroes of the Ridge showed up in Treefall and skipped most of the story by the means of some clever dialogue and lucky dice rolls.

There are several outlying farms and buildings in the rolling, tree-lined hills of the area, but the town is the only population center for days in any direction.

When night falls, everything closes down. By the time it is dark, there isn't a villager on the street or willing to open her door. Even Joseph Murdoch, the inkeeper, closes his doors, bars his shutters, and ignores any pounding or attempts to enter. Only the Church of St. Cuthbert has light streaming out its windows - along with muffled sounds of prayer.

Anyone who travels near the city commons sees the Statue of Jerimond standing stoically.

Uncovered Secrets: The statue was surrounded by darkness early in the first month of the year 1000 (see "Whose Orb?"). Typically, Jerimond's Orb is held in one of the statue's hands; however, it had recently been replaced with a fake.  The Heroes of the Ridge recovered said orb and returned it to its rightful resting place.
