AT A GLANCE: This ford across the 
Winding Water is overhung by high, 
tree-cloaked banks and surrounded by 
hills on both sides.

ELMINSTER'S NOTES: The ample cover 
provided by the surrounding vegetation 
makes it easy to stage ambushes 
here, and may hide a great number of 
assailants with ease.  Trollish bands 
striking at travellers so often over the 
years have gained the ford it grisly 
Name; piles of gnawed and burned 
bones stand as grim warnings on both 
sides of the river about a mile from the 
ford.  As a standard precaution, most 
caravans have a GUARD of 20 armed men 
when making this passage.
