Located on the bank of the [[River Chionthar]], and the far south-east of the mini-map, the [[Ravaged Beach]] is dominated by the wreck of a [[nautiloid]].. Corpses of fishermen and [[Intellect Devourer]]s dot the area. There are several makeshift docks, but both them and the fishing boats that used them seem to have been destroyed. To the north-west is a door to the [[Dank Crypt]], while to the north is the [[Emerald Grove]]. | Located on the bank of the [[River Chionthar]], and the far south-east of the mini-map, the [[Ravaged Beach]] is dominated by the wreck of a [[nautiloid]]..

West of the Nautiloid Wreck on the far side of the beach is a cache left by [[Harpers]]. It can be found down a ledge near the water is a scuffed rock {{Coords|141|282}}.

The '''Roadside Cliffs''' sprawl north of the Nautiloid Wreck and south of the [[Emerald Grove]], between the [[Forest]] in the west, and the [[Overgrown Ruins]] in the east. | |||
The Roadside Cliffs are littered with broken Goblin traps. A malfunctioning Waypoint can be interacted with to find another companion, [[Gale]], who needs a hand after some wizardry went awry. A fully functional trap holds another potential companion, [[Lae'zel]], who has been captured by tieflings. | |||
