Encounter Rules
Generate an encounter the first time the party goes to one of this hex’s features and every 12 hours. Encounters can happen on the way to the location or at the destination. If an encounter would happen while the party rests, good survival skills while setting up camp make the encounter happen after the full rest is completed. Search the Baldur’s Gate Wiki for informations on named NPC. Do not hesitate to replace any named NPC by one the players have already met from time to time! It makes for a better story.
Feature A - The Way of the Lion
Winding through rugged boulders and windsept trees, the Lion’s Way is used by pilgrims seeking entry to Candlekeep’s Monastery. Upon reaching the coast, it turns into a series of narrow rock bridges that jump from cliff to cliff towards the castle.
Feature B - Old Standing Stones
A long abandonned meeting point for druids at the conflux of ancient leylines. Doing a specific ritual here allows communication through the other standing stones of the Southern Sword Coast, and some even say teleportation. However, this one seems to have been defiled by a gruesome murder ritual.
Feature C - Hidden Grotto
This hidden passage is sealed, but leads to the Underdark. It was carved by the mind flayers of Tellectus, who prey on people leaving Candlekeep to steal their knowledge.
