Let me welcome you to the place I call home. River's Rest offers limited hunting to very specific hunting ages and groups. However the town itself and people offer a whole new world of interacting opportunity.
First and foremost, if you all looking to sell on the amulet, wrong town. The amulet in RR is used for emergencies and the occasional greeting to your fellow townspeople.
As for the Rest is very laid back, and if you are in dire straights the odds are someone will stop to help you or at least ask if you need assistance. It is for that very reason I call the Rest home. It is the people of any community that makes or breaks it, and as of to date the Rest has the best group of citizens I have encountered. Though that is not to say that the other towns do not, just that the most outstanding folks I have met, come from the Rest.
There is now a guard at the drawbridge, ALWAYS carry silver when coming to the Rest or you will have a tough time getting in.

Please not that the creatures I am told now have an age range. So the ages are not necessarily accurate. As for the stats on the critters that is what I have encountered.
Difficulty rating is based off how easy I was able to kill them. (keep in mind my profession)
Example: for some reason all the trolls, but the hills, are damage resistant. In the time we hunted them, if at there level they were very hard to handle, they don't leg well, resist damage, and run all over the place, can't they just hold still and die like all the other nice monsters.
Treasure: A(all), B(boxes), C(coins), G(gem)
Creature Notes
Blood Eagle: can grab you and drop you somewhere in RR, ouch is all I will say on this.
Fire Phantom: evil, nasty, fire cloud. Kill them quick, and keep an eye out for a dark cloud.
Brown Spinner: minor web, though it looks to be a CM attack. Only weaker than the actual web attack.
Grey Orc: cast death cloud.
Ghost Wolf: can disease you, guess they never got their shots.
Warfarer: eblast, ewave, and cast a wide variety of DS spells on themselves, and can create a fog that ups every things DS by 25.
Spectral Warriors: mimic spirit strike, so they can raise their AS by 50. The AS listed is the highest I have seen to date. Additionally a very annoying ability is to discorporate at will, can be done even while stunned, thus rendering the attack an automatic failure. They also have the ability to disarm and level based fear. Fun to hunt if you can, if you are unsure, don't try them, not many clerics or healers in the rest to learn from mistakes.
If you notice any errors or things in need of adding just drop me a line.
