Points of interest

Ambushing Shadows

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

• X: 42 Y: 58: Six Shadow-Cursed Needle Blights, two Shadow-Cursed Vine Blights, two Dead Harpers, and a Shadow-Cursed Shambling Mound. The ambush can be anticipated by passing a Perception check (DC: 30).
• X: 67 Y: -107: Six Shadow-Cursed Needle Blights and one Shadow-Cursed Vine Blight. The ambush can be anticipated by passing a DC 30 Perception check. 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 X: 30 Y: 114. Passing an DC 15 Arcana check will ominously warn away from interacting with the corpse. Choosing to touch the dead bird anyway will provoke a fight with twelve 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 X: 68 Y: 36. An ill-fated Githyanki warrior can be spoken to via Speak with Dead.

Southwest of the house at X: 19 Y: 17, a dead Duergar can be found carrying the Grey Scout's Journal. A buried chest ( DC 10 Survival check) containing minor loot can be found directly beside him. More directly south of the house at X: 42 Y: 0 is another buried chest ( DC 10 Survival check) with minor random loot.
