We escort the freed Westbridgers to Redlarch, which is has somehow
become our safe place to stash people from the dangers of the region.
Then we trek back all the way to Westbridge.  It's completely burnt
down and apparently empty of any further villagers, but we eventually
find a couple - a hedge scout and scout master who had been hiding.
The hedge scout master tells us that while the main body of villagers
had been taken to the east, the rest of her troupe had been taken to a
stone circle outside town to the west, so we agree to escort them and
attempt to rescue the rest of their troupe.

We're ambushed by undead and demons in the forest - a chasme, three
ghosts, two ogre zombies.  4250 xp.  Once we get to the stone circle,
of course it's another ambush, as the hedge scouts are actually hags
and demons (in fact, the stone circle is a portal to the Abyss) -
coven of hags, four armites, lachyall, sundry minor demons.  26.2k xp.
They manage to drag us into the portal (psychically, if not physically),
and we engage in physic combat, but our ideas win out.  We're still
stuck in the Abyss, though.
