== Points of Interest == | |||
=== East beach === | |||
After the events of the [[Prologue]], the player will start [[Act One]] by exploring the beach. [[Shadowheart]], a potential companion, can be found unconscious nearby. | |||
A number of corpses here can be conversed with via the spell {{SAI|Speak with Dead}}. | |||
Near the Overgrown Ruins {{SmIconLink|Waypoint Map Icon.png|Waypoint}} at {{Coords|276 |298}}, a locked door leads to the [[Dank Crypt]], a sublocation of the [[Overgrown Ruins]]. | |||
=== West beach === | |||
The companion [[Astarion]] can be found close by the Nautiloid Wreck {{Coords|170|288}}. After Astarion has been encountered for the first time, a [[Scared Boar]] can be found on the cliffs nearby. | |||
West of the Nautiloid Wreck on the far side of the beach is a cache left by [[Harpers]] at {{Coords|143|281}}. It can be found by dropping down ledges near the water, where a successful {{Ability Check|Nature|10}} will reveal deep grooves around a scuffed rock. If a character [[Strength|strong]] enough can move the rock, an Ornate Chest underneath will be revealed, containing a [[Harper's Map]] and [[Harper's Notebook]], along with minor loot. | |||
=== Nautiloid wreck === | |||
The Nautiloid Wreck from the Prologue divides the Ravaged Beach. The southern section of the wreck is guarded by a trio of [[Intellect Devourer|intellect devourers]] at {{Coords|230|271}}. | |||
A dying [[Mind flayers|mind flayer]] can be found in the northern section of the [[Nautiloid Wreck]] at {{Coords|180|320}}. Killing it earns the [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|20x20px|link=]] [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] ''To Sleep, Perchance to Dream, Tentacled Dreams'' ([[Haunted One]] background). | |||
===Roadside Cliffs=== | |||
{{Relative location | |||
|region = Wilderness | |||
|location = Roadside Cliffs | |||
|south = Ravaged Beach | |||
|north = Emerald Grove | |||
|west = Forest | |||
|east = Overgrown Ruins | |||
}}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. | |||
{{SmIconLink|Waypoint Map Icon.png|Waypoint}} (Roadside Cliffs) can be found at {{Coords|222|326}}. Interacting with this ancient stone sigil for the first time reveals a potential companion, [[Gale|Gale of Waterdeep]], who needs a hand after his wizardry to escape the plummeting nautiloid went awry. | |||
{{SpoilerDurge|[[The Dark Urge]] has a unique and potentially bloody interaction with Gale's protruding hand. If you fantasize about hacking off the hand, you will actually do so, killing Gale and precluding his recruitment as a companion. Giving in or resisting the urge earns the [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|20x20px|link=]][[Inspiration|Inspirational Events]] ''Indulge Thine Appetites'' or ''Subdue Thine Appetites'', respectively ([[Haunted One]] background).}} | |||
Another potential companion, [[Lae'zel]], can be found trapped by tieflings. | |||
A buried chest and a [[Shovel (item)|Shovel]] can be found at {{Coords|202|386}}. | |||
====Harper Outpost==== | |||
Tucked away high in the Roadside Cliffs is a Harper Outpost, featuring a watchtower and a small spider-filled crevice {{Coords|160|373}}. A [[Silver Pendant]] can be found on a skeleton in the outpost {{Coords|152|366}}, while a less arachnophobic player can procure a [[Spider Egg Sac]] with some gold and 5 [[Experience]].{{Q|Necklace has a Harper sigil. Why were they here?|Player remark after discovering the [[Silver Pendant]]}} | |||
=== Emerald Grove environs === | |||
{{SmIconLink|Waypoint Map Icon.png|Waypoint}}: Emerald Grove Environs {{Coords|246|424}} | |||
When the party first approaches the ramparts before the [[Emerald Grove]], [[Aradin]] and his fellow mercenaries will be found fleeing to the gates, pursued by a hunting band of [[Goblin|goblins]]. [[Wyll]] will also make an appearance to help defend the gates. If no allied defenders are killed, the [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|20x20px|link=]][[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] ''No One Left Behind'' ([[Soldier]] background) will be awarded. Afterwards, you can enter the grove. | |||
===Overgrown Ruins=== | |||
''For more information see: [[Overgrown Ruins]]'' | |||
A group of looters are canvassing the Overgrown Ruins. [[Gimblebock]], [[Quelenna]], [[Taman]], and [[Warryn]] stand guard outside in the Chapel Entrance. | |||
