Harl's Hall
A medium-sized guild hall serving as the central home and meeting place for six quest goers. The ground floor centers on a common room, with a well-stocked kitchen, a crowded library, and a long table used for meals, maps, arguments, and planning. Three simple bedrooms upstairs each hold two beds, so everyone doubles up. The druid's work has filled the yard and eaves with shade-loving plants, and an illusion conceals the hall from wandering monsters by making it seem like ordinary overgrowth. The concealment does not make the building invulnerable: a determined observer, a creature that can see through illusions, or someone following a resident inside may find it.

Overview
A medium-sized guild hall serving as the central home and meeting place for six quest goers. The ground floor centers on a common room, with a well-stocked kitchen, a crowded library, and a long table used for meals, maps, arguments, and planning. Three simple bedrooms upstairs each hold two beds, so everyone doubles up. The druid's work has filled the yard and eaves with shade-loving plants, and an illusion conceals the hall from wandering monsters by making it seem like ordinary overgrowth. The concealment does not make the building invulnerable: a determined observer, a creature that can see through illusions, or someone following a resident inside may find it.
Atmosphere
Chaotic at first glance, peaceful once the door closes. Pots clatter in the kitchen, someone is always searching for a book or boot, and six people compete for space without much rancor. Under the leafy canopy and steady kitchen warmth, even arguments tend to end in laughter or a shared meal.
Style
A sturdy, plain timber-and-stone guildhouse, built around a broad central room. Its low roof, uneven beams, and patched shutters suggest an old roadside meeting hall enlarged over time. Vines and living branches now soften its outline, while the druid's illusion makes the whole building appear to be an unremarkable patch of brush and broken ground.
What stands out
History
The hall takes its name from Harl, a forgotten quartermaster who kept an earlier company supplied during a long-ago border campaign. His office and the campaign itself vanished from local memory, but his name remained on the old lintel. The building passed through several uses before the current group repaired it and made it their base. Its mismatched additions, old nail holes, and repurposed fittings record each change of purpose.
- Membership and House Rules
The hall accepts people by trust, not paperwork. A current member must vouch for a newcomer, and the newcomer must complete one job alongside the group before being given a key. Members are expected to share supplies, keep the common rooms usable, and never lead danger to the door. The six quest goers are the hall's core company, though trusted allies may stay when space allows.
- Current Contracts
The contract board holds requests for monster hunts, missing-person searches, dangerous escorts, and problems local authorities cannot handle. Each posting is checked for a reliable contact and a clear payment before anyone accepts it. A few jobs are marked for the whole company: investigate why creatures keep circling the nearby roads, recover a sealed case from a collapsed watch post, and find out who has been paying for information about the hall.
- Library and Records
The library is a working collection rather than a grand archive: field journals, maps, copied spell notes, bestiaries, and practical guides to curses and wilderness hazards. Books with dangerous instructions are kept in a locked cabinet. The cabinet key stays with the steward, but members can request access when they explain what they need and agree not to test anything indoors.
People
