Magran's Fork
Foelmar
I travel to Magran's Fork, and begin at #1 on the map. I collect an Admeth's Wyrt at #2, and kill a couple of Wolves at #3.
Foelmar is at #4. Speaking to him prompts two more Wolves to attack. But I kill them easily enough. Foelmar rewards me with three Potions of Minor Endurance and departs.
*Evil* Durance Joins
Durance will be near the statue of Magran at #8. It won't take much effort to get him to join.
I level him up, getting him the Weapon and Shield Style talent along the way. I also give him any scrolls I find along the way.
*Good* Alliria also takes him on, but as an interim companion.
Boars in Magran's Fork
The good party continues southwest. A few Young Boars will be at #7. Eder puts himself ahead of the others, and he holds down at least three of them in tanking position.
Aloth hits as many of them as he can with an Alkemyr's Dazzling Lights in order to reduce their Accuracy.
Durance positions himself as close to the rest of the party as he can. He then casts Blessing followed by Consecrated Ground.
Alliria and the Orlan Rogue take out the one Boar that isn't held down by Eder. Alliria expedites that with a Flames of Devotion. The pair then flank and kill off each Boar surrounding Eder one by one.
Fulvano's Amulet
The good party touches the south border of Magran's Fork in order to make Anslog's Compass accesible. They then continue east. They get attacked by a Forest Troll at #9, but kill it easily enough.
A nearby dead body has a Chewed Letter and Fulvano's Amulet. The Orlan Rogue wears it on an interim basis.
*Evil* In the evil party, I had Zakara wear it in the interim, and hand her Minor Cloak of Protection over to Durance.
*Evil* Ludrana
Here I show the evil party instead, since this is where it now reaches a key target. You will find a Wizard named Ludrana and two Goldpact Knights at #13, who will attack on sight.
Zakara and Eder charge ahead. Eder makes Ludrana his priority target once the position is locked. I would like Zakara to get on Ludrana as well, but she can't do so with both Goldpact Knights being able to inflict Disengagement attacks on her.
Aloth leads off with an Arkemyr's Dazzling Lights spell in order to reduce the enemies' Accuruacy. After that, he pumps out Minoletta's Minor Missiles on Ludrana to help Eder bring her down as quickly as possible and minimize her spell casting.
Durance got close to the fray, and then cast a Consecrated Ground spell so that Zakara and Eder benefit as well. It then becomes a matter of outlasting them.
My key acquisition from this battle is Ludrana's Grimoire, from which Aloth will be able to add a few spells to his repertoire.
Will-O-Wisp
Here I easily defeat a Will-O-Wisp near the crumbling tower at #12. I grab any nearby plants, as well as some coins and a Lockpick from the loose brick in the tower itself, before returning to Gilded Vale.
*Evil* Ludrana's Grimoire
Both the good and evil parties rest up at the Black Hound Inn before heading off to the next area. It does, however, have a special point for the evil party. Zakara sells off most of her excess gear, but keeps some of the better items (e.g. Mail armor, Hatchets) in anticipation of future party members joining.
Aloth now uses Ludrana's Grimoire to add the Ghost Blades and Chill Fog spells to his own repertoire.
My next destination is Anslog's Compass.
