Saying you spotted them in the first dialogue gives advantage to the persuasion check.
Disguising as a Drow gives an inspiration for characters with the Charlatan background such as Astarion.
South
At the Southern gate, a goblin warrior guards the entrance to what he now calls Bogrot village. He wants to rob the adventurers, though 50 gold is enough for him to let them pass or he might be persuaded otherwise.

Windmill
At the northern side of the village is a windmill surrounded by Fezzerk and his band of goblins and worgs, who have tied Barcus Wroot to a windmill blade. After either fighting Fezzerk and friends or otherwise convincing them to leave, the windmill can be stopped or sped up by interacting with the levers inside the windmill.
Behind the windmill is a small shrine to Selûne, which will have a unique interaction for Shadowheart, unless the one with the diary at the Schoolhouse is activated first.
Windmill Cellar
Accessed through a Wooden Hatch X: -11 Y: 436 behind the windmill, the cellar served as a hideout for Barcus Wroot. Here you can find his heavy backpack containing various camp supplies and a Smokepowder Satchel. His more valuable belongings can be found in a heavy chest nearby, most notably The Speedy Lightfeet.
Blacksmith's Forge
Behind the locked Shabby Wooden Doors of one of the buildings in the Blighted Village is the Blacksmith's Forge. This is a long-abandoned forge that can be used to create one of the sussur weapons to complete the quest Finish the Masterwork Weapon. The doors are locked and cannot be picked or destroyed, but they can be opened from the inside, or from the outside with the Old Key, which is found inside the blacksmith building, sitting on top of a crate (in the same room as the Calcified Web). There are two other ways to gain entry into the forge:
- Destroy the Calcified Web X: 46 Y: 426 covering a hole in the floor, found inside the same building with the Shabby Wooden Doors. Jumping into the hole takes the player into the forge.
- Descend into the Whispering Depths and destroy the Cracked Wall X: -447 Y: -367. This reveals an entrance into the Forge.
Sussur Tree Bark can be combined with Greatsword, Sickle, or Dagger at the forge to create one of the following weapons to complete the quest Finish the Masterwork Weapon:
A Heavy Key found on the ground outside the Forge building opens a locked chest containing 
Infernal Iron up a ladder in the Forge's basement.
Apothecary
At the south-eastern corner of the village is an Apothecary. Many alchemical ingredients can be found here, as well as a hatch leading to the Apothecary's Cellar.
Schoolhouse
A trio of ogres, Lump the Enlightened, Chock, and Fank, can be found here. Lump can be persuaded into parting with Lump's War Horn, which allows the player to call on Lump and the ogres for aid during combat in Act One. On a shelf in the Schoolhouse is an Old Schoolbook: reading it initiates a unique interaction with Shadowheart, unless the interaction behind the Windmill was activated first.
Well and Town Center
Near the town center is a Mossy Chest, the Mossy Key for which is held by the Goblin Booyahg that starts atop the Aopthecary building. Just west of the center of town is an old Well. Interacting with it allows the party to discover one of the entrances to the Whispering Depths (the other two entrances being inside the Blacksmith's Forge).
Barn
In the north-eastern corner of the village is a barn with strange noises coming from it. Opening the doors initiates a conversation and likely fight with the occupants, Grukkoh and Buthir.
Beside the barn and up a small incline is a piece of meat with a Dagger +1 lodged in it. The dagger can be removed with a Strength, Dexterity or Intelligence check.
