Now i'm having writers block on how to proceed to the next step in the plot. Initially it started out with my pcs just running weapons from mirabar to grunwald. Easy little intro quest, but I wanted to hook them into the plot and now there's Balor wrecking grunwald as they're leaving the dungeon and I just am unsure of where to go here. I was thinking something like having the pcs meet up with some larger city defenders or leaders and them giving them the quest of hunting down the demonspawn and killing it. Things like that?

What level is your party? Makes a big difference when a balor is in play.
Summoning a Balor is usually the end game.
You can run it a bit like a natural disaster and run relief style missions.
Another option is to treat it like an occupying force. The summoners can take over the city and so then the goal becomes thwarting them.
