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

* {{Coords|42|58}}: Six [[Shadow-Cursed Needle Blight]]s, two [[Shadow-Cursed Vine Blight]]s, two [[Dead Harper|Dead Harpers]], and a [[Shadow-Cursed Shambling Mound]]. The ambush can be anticipated by passing a [[Perception]] check (DC: 30).
* {{Coords|67|-107}}: Six [[Shadow-Cursed Needle Blight|Shadow-Cursed Needle Blights]] and one [[Shadow-Cursed Vine Blight]]. The ambush can be anticipated by passing a {{Ability Check|Perception|30}}. These cursed plants guard a locked wooden chest (DC 10) filled with minor random loot.

=== Shadow-Cursed Raven ===
A dead raven oozing cursed vapors is found at {{Coords|30|114}}. Passing an {{Ability Check|Arcana|15}} will ominously warn away from interacting with the corpse. Choosing to touch the dead bird anyway will provoke a fight with twelve [[Shadow-Cursed Raven|Shadow-Cursed Ravens]]. Winning the battle and searching the original raven rewards you with the [[HELP!]] note.

=== Oliver's House ===
[[Oliver]] and his shadow-cursed family ([[Mummy]], [[Daddy]], and [[Doggy]]) are located in a ruined house at {{Coords|68|36}}. An ill-fated [[Githyanki]] warrior can be spoken to via [[Speak with Dead]]. 

Southwest of the house at {{Coords|19|17}}, a dead [[Duergar]] can be found carrying the [[Grey Scout's Journal]]. A buried chest ({{Ability Check|Survival|10}}) containing minor loot can be found directly beside him. More directly south of the house at {{Coords|42|0}} is another buried chest ({{Ability Check|Survival|10}}) with minor random loot.
