Editing The Hollow

Mechanically, The Hollow serves as a connective hub area for the Emerald Grove. In addition to providing easy access to other areas of the grove, it is also the home to several different traders, as well as several other important characters. It is also one of the locations where {{CharLink|Shadowheart}} and {{CharLink|Wyll}} can be recruited as [[Companion|companions]], provided they haven't already joined the party.

*The haystack by the two oxen tended by [[Toron]].  To reveal this location, party members who are under the effect of [[Speak with Animals]] may talk to the [[Bored Ox]] or else pass a {{Ability Check|Perception|7}}.

*Past the oxen, where {{CharLink|Doni}} loiters, there's a pair of {{SmRarityItem|Metallic Gloves}} lying on the horse cart.  They can be picked up without it counting as stealing.  The locked Travel-Worn Chest right aside the cart is also worth checking.

*Behind the storage shed where you find {{CharLink|Pandirna}} there's a pouch on the ground with a good amount of riches.  The player can access the storage from both sides: either by using a lockpick action on the front door (a forbidden action), or climbing into the roof on the back via the [[Makeshift Prison]]. Caution: there's exploding plants along this path that are only revealed by an ability check.
