A Patch of Reeds and Tall Grass
   This portion of the valley floor is teaming with tall reeds
and lightly-blowing tall grass.  This unkept wilderness area
of Barovia is home to all sorts of evil, twisted creatures,
warped by the evil magic of Strahd and other unknown forces
within the great shadow of Castle Ravenloft.  Reeds and tall
grass completely mask what could be on the floor.  The Ivlis
Marsh is located to the west.
