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 east sits a door to the [[Dank Crypt]], while to the north is the [[Emerald Grove]].

Located on the bank of the River Chionthar, the Ravaged Beach is dominated by wreckage from the Nautiloid crash. Corpses of fishermen and Intellect Devourers dot the area. Several makeshift docks line the coast, but both them and the fishing boats that used them are destroyed. To the east is an Ancient Door leading to the Dank Crypt. To the north is the Emerald Grove.

East beach

The Ancient Door next to this waypoint can be opened with a DC 20 Sleight of Hand check, which grants access to the Dank Crypt, a sublocation of the Overgrown Ruins.

A successful DC 10 Nature check near the cache will reveal deep grooves around a scuffed rock. A character with sufficient Strength can move the rock, revealing an Ornate Chest containing a Harper's Map and Harper's Notebook, along with minor loot.

Nautiloid Wreck

Waypoint Waypoint (Roadside Cliffs) can be found at X: 222 Y: 326. Interacting with this ancient stone sigil reveals a potential companion, Gale Gale, who needs a hand after his wizardry escape from the plummeting Nautiloid went awry.

The Dark Urge has a unique and potentially bloody interaction with Gale's protruding hand.

Giving in or resisting the urge earns the Inspiration Icon.pngInspirational Events Indulge Thine Appetites or Subdue Thine Appetites, respectively (Haunted One background).

Another potential companion, Lae'zel Lae'zel, can be found trapped by Tieflings at X: 242 Y: 370.
