Editing Western Beach

[[File:Western Beach.jpg|frameless|right|400px]]
The '''western beach''' is an unnamed [[location]] in [[Rivington]] in [[Act Three]]. This beach is most easily accessed by taking the western path from the [[South Span Checkpoint]]. 
{{Relative location

==Locations==
=== Trail ===
The trail leading to the beach is littered with [[traps]], including mines and tripwires. A dying man is found after the first section, {{blur|who may transform into [[Orin]] if she has not been met at least two times.}}

=== Rivington cove confrontation ===
In the cove near Rivington, you can encounter members of [[the Guild]], led by [[Farlin]], fighting a band of the Stone Lord, led by [[Cairos]] {{Coords|-220|94}}. Entering the area will cause the party to be dragged into the conflict, where they can either help Farlin or fight both groups. Otherwise, the two groups will start fighting if they are left alone for long enough. 

If you stand back and watch or choose a neutral path, you will default to supporting the Guild. WARNING: As a [[Bard]], suggesting that the conflict be resolved by Flyting causes both sides to become hostile. [[Cairos]] drops [[Corpsegrinder]] and [[Farlin]] drops [[Gleamdance Dagger]].  Killing both groups grants the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Cleaning up the Scum''' ([[The Dark Urge]] background). Supporting the guild earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Backing the Established Players''' ([[Noble]] background). 

One [[Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen]] can be found atop a barrel {{Coords|-225|107}}and two more can be found on the ship {{Coords|-214|131}}. 

===Passageway===
Along the southern cliff-side is an opening to a passageway {{coords|-233|84}}. This passageway was being used for smuggling by the [[Stone Lord]] and his men. 

Some paintings and other loot can be found here, along with a trapped chest containing the {{SmItemIcon|Bonespike Boots}}.

===Ship from Moonrise===
Docked at the beach is a ship that sailed in from [[Moonrise Towers]]. On the ship is some loot, including two {{SmItemIcon|Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen}}s.
