A Grim Meeting

The group travels to Burnard to look for Seraina. After doing some research they find out she'd been staying at the local brothel. In her room they find a book about the dark gods and a summoning circle. They perform the ritual and encounter a demon or Morlorrim who tells them that Seraina has been taken and will eventually return. The group tries to fight the demon, but he manages to escape. They take the book to the town priest who will see what he can find out for them. Before they go to bed, the town is attacked by a horde of orcs.
