====== Bugbear Encampment ======
{{ ::bugbearencampment.png?300|}}
Located near [[goldbelly_mountain|Goldbelly Mountain]] and [[redtooth_peak|Redtooth Peak]], the [[bugbear|Bugbears]] have set up a small camp. A ring of rough homes made of timber, bone, and leather encircle a fire pit.

A small graveyard sits on the edge of the encampment. Instead of tombstones, piles of white rocks mark the final resting places of those [[bugbear|Bugbear]] who lost their lives in the [[great_war|Great War]].

The area near the encampment has been tainted by the mining of the nearby [[dwarf|Dwarves]] in [[lorkheim|Lorkheim]]. Water supplies in the wells and streams have been rendered useless by their mining.

==== Ascending Kethra's Steppe (GS-ADV4)====
The [[bugbear|Bugbear]] are less than welcoming when you enter their camp. They assume you are invaders and spies sent from the [[gimnax|queen]].

You recognize [[yonlok|Yonlok]] from an earlier encounter in [[sabek|Sabek]]. Many of your previous decisions will dictate how welcoming he may be.
  * Show strength to gain [[yonlok|Yonlok's]] trust.
    * If you impress him, you will be welcomed as one of the [[bugbear|Bugbear]].
    * If not, they will chase you off in disgrace.
  * Draw your sword against him.
    * Impress everyone, even [[nayo|Nayo]], as you chase the [[bugbear|Bugbear]] from their own camp.
    * Prove to be less than a swordsman and be chased off in disgrace.

Through some of your discussions, you will learn that not only have the [[bugbear|Bugbear]] recently burned the village of [[lorkheim|Lorkheim]] in response to their "injustices", but they also are planning to journey to the [[frozen_expanse|Frozen Expanse]]. They are intent on stopping [[gulpax|Gulpax]] from creating her new weapon.

==== The Scrying Pool (GS-Epilogue)====
The encampment is placed under military control, with members of the [[queen_s_guard|Queen's Guard]] patrolling the area.
