Canyon Ambush

The Canyon Ambush is a special encounter/once-off area in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear.
The ambush is automatically triggered when and their party leaves the Coalition Camp and travels anywhere for the first time. It consists of four mercenaries under the watchful eye of a Shadowy Figure whilst passing through a canyon that is a dead magic zone.
Once at least two mercenaries die, if still alive, the Shadowy Figure will attempt to hide and leave the map, taking his gear.
== Treasure ==
The precise amount of lootable ammunition recovered will depend on how quickly the ranged attackers are slain, as will the number of potions; the faster the enemy mercenaries are defeated, the more potions will be left, as they will readily use these to heal themselves and survive longer.
== Notes ==
* This whole area is a Dead Magic Zone (Wizard/Priest/Innate spells are subject to 100% casting failure and effects are dispelled every round). This means all manual spellcasting attempts will fail. Potions and scrolls can still be triggered but, those with durational effects (e.g., Haste or Invisibility), will have their effects negated. The exception is scrolls and Wands of Monster Summoning are unaffected by the Dead Magic Zone.
