## Overview

The road wades a quick brown stream at a gravel ford, the banks thick with reeds; upstream the stones of an old mill, downstream a cart that didn't make it across. A random fight on the valley's roads may play out here.

**Resting:** Risky: a rest here can be interrupted.

## Map

**Key:** gold, people; red, containers; purple, hidden finds; teal, skill checks; white, exits; orange, traps. The numbers match the lists on this page.

## What to find

The containers here also get random magic items and potions, rolled for a party of level 4 the first time you come ([Random Treasure](https://curseofstrahd.app/wiki/items/random-treasure.md)). Hidden finds need a Search (F) nearby; the party's best roll counts.
