The Crossroads

From HGWiki

A safe to rest no PvP transit area, contains some friendly gypsies and the extremely handy Oltum a bird with remarkable powers including Devastating Critical, can be controlled by characters with a suitable amount of animal empathy skill. If you can attract the Bandit Chief to this area the Gypsies will engage him in combat although as they are not able to do significant damage you can use this to your advantage.
