 Located on the bank of the [[River Chionthar]], the '''Ravaged Beach''' is dominated by the wreck of a [[nautiloid]]. Corpses of fishermen and [[Intellect Devourer]]s dot the area. There are several makeshift docks, but both them and the fishing boats that used them seem to have been destroyed. To the west sits a door to the [[Dank Crypt]], while to the north is the [[Emerald Grove]].

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 ===

+A dying [[Mind flayers|mind flayer]] can be found in the northern section of the [[Nautiloid Wreck]] at {{Coords|180|320}}.

+}}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).}}

+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.
