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.
