Battle
The Bloodwing itself is not terribly difficult to defeat, but the path to the mark contains a lot of Specters and Dead Bones. If the player takes out these before approaching the Bloodwing, they should be fine. It uses Leech frequently, so it's a good idea to inflict Disease on it, also make sure to keep watch of the party's HP. Inflict also Immobilize and just chip away at it with ranged weapons and magic.
