Issue Description:
The spawns in this area are pretty intense for the rewards given, which was a tethgard coin. I recommend bumping up the reward since its a difficult area to get into an survive.

There is an aspect of this area which makes it incredibly difficult to survive the encounter which you'll see at first glance but I dont wanna post publicly! Area is found by chance, so you can't exactly prep for the fight either.

We were swarmed by 2 blood wraiths and about 5 slimes which each split into 2 more slimes. Got insane.

recommendation is to either reduce the spawn or spread out the spawn by extending the area, or make the area you enter safe so one could prep for the fight. Would also recommend increasing the rewards.

Councilor Tylel,

A parchment that states the council is united does not proof that the realm is united, and given recent events is quite obvious. A councilor may have thwarted the plot, but it was Brutus of the Greywatch, a councilor, who aided in its execution.

His Grace, Duke Obyn Misrim did state that this altercation between the Church of Tymora and the Greywatch is resolved. But this altercation is one of many, and I doubt a finely worded letter will cease Eveningstars attempts on our borders.

The Bishopric of Eveningstar, and the Ravens of Tilverton have recently acquired aspiring agents at both ends. I propose each councilor, both myself as Councilor of Tilverton, and Brother Aland Signe of Eveningstar step down, allowing for new blood to represent our organizations.

Nothing less than new eyes will resolve this, as words do little when knives are in play.

My suggestion is as follows;

Signe and myself are replaced as councilors for failing to stop the escalation, with hope that new eyes can aid where we have failed. A public announcement will surely be necessary here.

I would happily add my name to a script denouncing the actions taken against my home. I find it difficult to believe that a list of names stating their concerns will carry much weight beyond our doors. I joined this council because it takes more than any one adventurer to get the job done, the job being the safety of the realm. But more importantly, it is an organization which takes action when no one else will.

Condemning these actions does nothing to resolve our issues, in fact, historically it merely enflames those in the West. I agree that the people look to us for an example, what sort of example does this set?

I turn to the council for leadership in this. If it was your home, if it was your people cut down by adventurers, would a poster suffice?

-J. Rawen

I would like to reiterate that this enemy, this warlord of the Hullack has made a point of moving his forces when able. He will be a true challenge to best. Perhaps it would be best to continue to infiltrate his ranks?

I just want us all to be prepared to think outside the box, given the opportunity.

-Rawen

Where does one begin to list the grievances levied against the North? This is not a new occurrence to us lost and forgotten souls who toil away minding our own business only to yet again have some foreign influence to bang at our door. Our own Duke is a self made man, risen from the ashes of flame stroked in the heart of Arabel itself.

Before Eveningstar, there was the White Witch, before the Witch, there was Gondegal, and of course before Gondegal, there was Cormyr.

Oppression may not be new to us, but something that has changed, has risen is in our hearts, is a blue-blooded champion. An outcast of your patriarchy with his eyes fixed on making Tilverton strong. His Grace, Obyn Misrim.

No more will we turn the other cheek. Eveningstar has stained the sands of Tilverton with innocent blood, and blood must be paid.

The debts owed by the Greywatch and Tymoran Church have been paid in full. They were arrested by the Council of Arabel and dealt swift justice in Tilverton.

Gretes' debt to the North is paid in full.
Brutuses debt to the North is also paid in full

The Greywatch are henceforth banished from carrying out any Greywatch duties in the Duchy of Tilverton by order of His Grace.

But as many reports have said, the House of Tymora and the Bloody Baker did this favor, this heinous act, at the behest of the Bishop of Eveningstar. Yet Eveningstar continues to go unpunished - and their wrongs un-righted.

Attempting to burn our villages,
Property theft,
Murder on multiple accounts,

At the present time I levy the above accusations against the Bishopric of Eveningstar, and as the Council of Arabel exists to cease threats to the Kingdom of Arabel, be they internal or external, I point the sword of the Council west.

I advise the council to hear my plea for justice. A representative of the House of the Morning shall be arrested by the Council of Arabel and brought to Tilverton for judgement. This, and only this, will begin our journey towards peace.

-Councilor Benjamin Rawen, Raven of Tilverton

An Elk horn has been recovered, we are clear to perform our next step.

-J. Rawen

With naught but respect Marshal Drakesbane,

I request a 48 hour sabbatical as I see to the families of those who were struck hardest by the days events, the Greywatch were without mercy in dealing a healthy blow to our humble militia. I will of course submit my full report by the end of this deadline, and of course expect the guilty parties be held responsible.

If justice is indeed the will of this Council.

-Councilor Rawen

Councilor Goldcrown,

You may send your uncle my warm regards.

-J. Rawen
