Other Areas and Landmarks

Petrified Drow

Just west of the Selûnite Outpost is a cliff ledge with several Petrified Drow and a Spectator. The Spectator will attack on sight, and will use its Unpetrification Ray to free the Drow and force them to attack alongside it by inflicting them with Spectator's Charm. The Drow can be freed of this charm by damaging them, at which point they will turn friendly and fight against the Spectator.

One of the Drow, Dhourn, carries a memory shard. It contains a vision of the Adamantine Forge in Grymforge. Dhourn can be convinced to give the shard to the player, or alternatively, it can be looted from him. Activating the shard requires succeeding on an Arcana check or speaking the the password. Dhourn can also be persuaded to provide the password, or if he is dead, he will tell the player if Speak with Dead is cast on him.

The petrified Drow can be unpetrified using Basilisk Oil.
