If the party chooses to use the elevator in [[Grymforge]] as part of [[Travel through the Underdark]], the party arrives at a Sharran worship site. Directly ahead is an Absolutist Expedition Trunk with torches and various potions, which can be lockpicked (DC 10). Move west to find an exit to the Shadow-Cursed Lands (and a Weary Traveler for [[The Wizard of Waterdeep]] if he wasn't encountered already). The party arrives at the [[Ruined Battlefield]]. Right by the exit are two braziers - light them and take the torches, as they are required to avoid the shadow curse. in order to avoid succumbing to the shadow curse, a party member must hold a torch. Continue exploring westward to encounter some Harper Scouts, led by Harper [[Lassandra]]. The harpers are suspicious and order the party forward, when a harper named [[Yonas]] is grabbed by a [[Shadow]] and transformed by the shadow curse. A fight breaks about between the newly transformed Yonas, seven Shadows, and the Harpers.

After the battle, Lassandra thanks the party and urges them to carry a torch, as it's enough for the edges of the Shadow-Cursed Land. She tells them there is one place safe from the curse, the [[Last Light Inn]] and marks it on the map.
