You follow a small stream of clear water running slightly downward toward the east here, until just ahead, you see it empty into a small lake with clear water, something rarely seen in the Deepwood. It could help you re-stock some supplies.
Just as you are about to order the soldiers to fill up their tankards though, you spot a shadow near the water's edge. Something waits to ambush you. If you hope to gain the water, you will need to fight it. If you do not want to get near, an amber bomb should do the trick as well.
