This haunted grove is the chief landmark in the Appleberry area. The ghost of Appleberry Wood is actually a banshee, known as Agatha. This name is almost certainly a corruption of the elven surname Auglathla, which means "Winterbreeze" in one of the older elven dialects. She lairs in a grove in Appleberry Wood, north of the Grimscott Crossroads. Her haunt is marked deep in the woods by the old Appleberry Grove.
At one time Agatha's lair was guarded by a magic mirror spell. This was set up to hide her real location, and give her time to hurl spells at intruders. The heroes Drizzt Do'Urden and Wulfgar son of Beornegar shattered these defenses. The two adventurers then stole her treasure.
The banshee had amassed her treasure hoard by thieving in the night, slaying travelers, and pillaging old tombs and ruins. Since her wealth was stolen, she has taken to looting the Appleberry area again, trying to rebuild her riches. She also seeks revenge for the theft, and so considers any adventurers fitting recipients of death.
Agatha's lair is no more now. Agatha was once a traveler from Grimscott who lived in Pranton and died in the great Orc invasion. Other than this, Agatha does not bother the folk of Grimscott. Rather, she views them as allies. Agatha often uses her spells to bring them beasts for food in the worst winter weather. She also slaughters orcs and brigands who venture too near to the village. Folk in Conyberry regard Agatha almost affectionately as their guardian and friend. They often talk about her, and speculate on what she's up to.
