* Intimidation DC 15 or Persuasion DC 15 or Illithid Wisdom DC 2 to pass peacefully. Being or disguising as a [[Drow]] also let the party pass. Disguising as a Drow gives an inspiration for characters with the [[Charlatan]] background such as [[Astarion]].

Saying that the party spotted the Goblins in the first dialogue gives advantage to the persuasion check.
The party can demand to be let through with some checks depending on the response.

Bypassing the ambush, using the ladder to the left and getting caught by the Goblin Sharp-Eye on the roof:

At the northern side of the village is a windmill surrounded by [[Fezzerk]] and his band of goblins and [[worg]]s, who have tied [[Barcus Wroot]] to a windmill blade. After either fighting Fezzerk and friends or otherwise convincing them to leave peacefully, the windmill can be stopped or sped up by interacting with the levers inside the windmill.
