3. Crossroads Between Beregost and the Friendly Arm Inn

• There are often bandits lurking on the road south to Beregost that you should take down quickly using arrows or spells to avoid taking too much damage. If you're looking for a reward, the bandits have lovely scalps that they're willing to offer up from their cold, dead bodies. You'll be able to cash in the scalps later on, and you can stack them to conserve inventory space.

• There's a nasty ogre at the east side of this area. Use your best spells against him and a concerted attack to take him down. Keep him away from your particularly vulnerable characters, like Xzar if he's in your party. Letting the ogre chase one of your characters while the others pound away with missile weapons works pretty well. The ogre has two magic girdles, one cursed (girdle of masculinity/femininity) and one belonging to Unshey in the Friendly Arm Inn (girdle of piercing). The cursed girdle can be sold for decent money, so it's worth keeping.
  

• There are some caravan remains in this sector, and the one east of the road to Beregost has a few items scattered around.
