Points of interest edit

Ambushing Shadows edit

This location contains multiple ambushes by Shadow-Cursed flora and fauna.

X: 42 Y: 58: Six Shadow-Cursed Needle Blights, two Shadow-Cursed Vine Blights, two dead Harpers, and a Shadow-Cursed Shambling Mound. The ambush can be anticipated by passing a DC 30 Perception check.
X: 67 Y: 107: Five Shadow-Cursed Needle Blights and one Shadow-Cursed Vine Blight. The ambush can be anticipated by passing a DC 30 Perception check. Nearby a locked wooden chest ( DC 10 Sleight of Hand check) can be found, which is filled with minor random loot.
X: 88 Y: -95: Three Shadow-Cursed Needle Blights and three Shadow-Cursed Vine Blights. Near the ambush a gilded chest can be found with the Frost Prince and some minor loot inside it.

Camp edit

The party can actually set up a camp and perform a long rest within the Ruined Battlefield. Doing so grants the inspiration Sleeping in the Dark to party members with the Outlander background.

Shadow-Cursed Raven edit

A dead raven oozing cursed vapors is found at X: 30 Y: 114. Passing an DC 15 Arcana check ominously warns away from interacting with the corpse. Choosing to touch the dead bird anyway will provoke a fight with twelve Shadow-Cursed Ravens. Winning the battle and searching the original raven rewards the party with the HELP! note.

Potter's Workshop edit

Located at X: -43 Y: 8, the abandoned potter's workshop has the Potter's Chest containing Sêlunite Note, a quest item important to Investigate the Selûnite Resistance. A group of Meazels wait to ambush the party in the workshop.

Oliver's House edit

Oliver and his shadow-cursed family (Mummy, Daddy, and Doggy) are located in a ruined house at X: 68 Y: 36. An ill-fated Githyanki warrior can be spoken to via Speak with Dead.

Southwest of the house at X: 19 Y: 17, a dead Duergar can be found carrying the Grey Scout's Journal. A buried chest ( DC 10 Survival check) containing minor loot can be found directly beside him. More directly south of the house at X: 42 Y: 0 is another buried chest ( DC 10 Survival check) with minor random loot.
