Transcript

A Royal Welcome
Melf and friends endeavor to ensure the safety of Neverwinter.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Melf:	Neverwinter - the City of Skilled Hands, and Jewel of the North. A place of storied turmoil and stubborn survival. Its reputation precedes it, though I expect the bards may have embellished a tad here and there. Let's see if the legends are true.
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		An infestation, is it? How droll. Well, even the most pedestrian tasks must be addressed. Have at you!
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		Ravens... harbingers of misfortune and ill omens. I shall remain vigilant.
Melf:	Wild dogs? No, those collars mark them as pets, although their owners are conspicuously absent. Are they lost or abandoned, I wonder?
3	Collect 25 Dog Tags		I could find these dogs' owners by collecting their tags. I'll see them returned to their rightful place.
Melf:	That's all of them. I don't have the time to get you all home, but I know good people who can help. Follow me - we'll go find them.
Neverwinter Thief:	A visitor, eh? There's a tax for walking your two dozen or so pets around in a public space. Pay up!
Melf:	I've dealt with your kind before. You prey on the honest and hardworking. Have you no decency?
Neverwinter Thief:	Just hand over the coins, elf!
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		Evil lurks everywhere! Thieves and ruffians - unchanging truths of every city in every world.
Melf:	Had enough? Mercy is a rare gift, but you have my word - I'll spare you if you lead me to the Protector's Enclave.
Neverwinter Thief:	Sure, elf! Whatever you say! Right this way!
Neverwinter Thief:	Protector's Enclave, just there! You'll be letting us go now, right?
Melf:	I promised mercy, not clemency.
Neverwinter Thief:	Bah! I'm getting out of here!
5	Defeat the Overambitious Bandit		I'll show this thief that none can escape justice!
Sgt. Knox:	Make way, people! Now, what's all this ruckus about?
Melf:	Greetings, Sergeant.
Sgt. Knox:	Your highness! Had I known you were coming today, I would have sent someone to meet you at the gate!
Melf:	Anything else would have denied me the full experience of your city. This way, I've seen its character. I've arrived as requested and found a pack of strays and a few errant citizens for your guards to escort to jail.
Sgt. Knox:	I didn't expect you to clean up the streets on your way in! You certainly know how to make an entrance, your highness.
Melf:	Please, just call me Melf, Sergeant. The adventurer's life is the path I've chosen. It's how I can do the most good for the people who truly need it.
Sgt. Knox:	Right then, Melf. Thank you for coming.
Melf:	Of course. When I received your summons to assess Neverwinter's defenses, I thought it urgent.
Sgt. Knox:	Let's hope not! I've just returned from an adventure myself, with threats grander than I dared imagine. Neverwinter has seen its share of ruin, but I worry for the future.
Melf:	Hm, yes. Peril has a way of striking when least expected. Best to keep your guard up.
Kobold Inventor:	Come, come! Look and see! Clever machines! Cheap, cheap! Only small chance of BIG BOOM! You buy NOW!
Melf:	You there! These dangerous devices have no place here! Take them away immediately!
Kobold Inventor:	NO! Is a FREE MARKET! Everyone, SCATTER! They no catch us ALL!
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		I must stop these kobolds before their recklessness harms innocents!
Kobold Inventor:	You win! We LEAVE! Kobolds NO welcome here!
Sgt. Knox:	Hold, friends! You're free to seek your fortune, same as everyone else. Just fix the bit about your wares having a chance to explode. Understood?
Kobold Inventor:	Hmm... No chance for boom? Tricky. Okay! Will try!
Melf:	Was that wise, Sergeant? Those kobolds may return to make mischief again.
Sgt. Knox:	Ha! If I arrested every troublemaker in this city, these streets would be empty!
Eladrin Ambassador:	[Speaking Sylvan] This is an insult! The queen will hear of this!
Sgt. Knox:	Those eladrin look angry, but it all sounds like fey nonsense to me.
Melf:	Allow me. [Speaking Sylvan] I greet you, kin. What vexes you?
Eladrin Ambassador:	[Speaking Sylvan] Do you think us fools!? We've wasted enough words! To arms!
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		Eladrin are ruled by emotion. Allow me to extinguish their ire!
Eladrin Ambassador:	[Speaking Sylvan] You fight with skill and grace. We are bested. What are your demands?
Melf:	[Speaking Sylvan] Lay down your weapons, and answer now. What is your purpose here?
Eladrin Ambassador:	[Speaking Sylvan] The Summer Court whispers of a revitalizing elixir from these lands - a bitter brew of darkest hue. We quest to bring it before our queen! We demand it! With milk of the almond! And a sprig of mint!
Melf:	Sergeant, I believe the eladrin would like some coffee. Or do you call it kaeth here?
Sgt. Knox:	Is that all? Tell them to follow us. I could use a drink myself.
Sgt. Knox:	[Spit take] The Summer Court!? You're telling me we just avoided a diplomatic incident with the Feywild!? Yet you seem unbothered!
Melf:	I've lived a long life, and one thing I've learned is not to panic, even if it seems like certain -
Deekin:	[Singing] DoOoOoOoM!
Melf:	I see this establishment offers live entertainment.
Sgt. Knox:	Deekin's a legend in Neverwinter!
Deekin:	[Singing] Just a simple male, come and listen to a tale, about a kobold whose life was DOOMED to fail!
Melf:	It's inspiring to see a fellow Champion in his element. He seems genuinely happy.
Sgt. Knox:	So do those drunks trying to slip out the door without paying. Get back here, you lot!
8	Collect 25 Bar Tabs		I should see that these patrons pay for their drinks.
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		This is turning into a barroom brawl. I'll need to be gentle.
Deekin:	[Singing] Bards know every story but their own!
Sgt. Knox:	That's done. Thanks for the help yet again, saer.
Melf:	Pish posh, think nothing of it. Now, let's discuss the city's defenses. I do have some thoughts...
Deekin:	[Singing] Who's gonna light the pyre and saaay -
Drow Mage:	Goodbye! [Casts Fireball]
Explosion:	[BOOM!]
Sgt. Knox:	[Coughing] Where's the mage responsible for this!?
Drow Mage:	Yes! Burn! BURN for the Spider Queen!
Melf:	There's the firestarter! You'll answer to me, scoundrel!
Drow Mage:	Still alive? Let's amend that.
10	Defeat the Drow Mage		A cultist of Lolth! I will not let this violence go unanswered!
Deekin:	Big man and fancy elf save Deekin! Save everyone! Deekin go hide now.
Sgt. Knox:	Repairs will take some time, but no lives were lost. It's over.
Melf:	No, Sergeant. We're just getting started. I hear commotion outside. Come.
Sgt. Knox:	Blast it all! The city's under attack again!
Melf:	We need to deal with any immediate threats and assess the danger. Look sharp!
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		Demons and elementals are running amok in the streets! We must stop them now before it's too late!
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		Neverwinter is in chaos! Who has conjured these creatures?
Melf:	There! The drow mage has allies! More servants of evil are revealed!
Sgt. Knox:	Let's take them down!
13	Collect 25 Invasion Plans		There must be a reason behind this attack. Search these cultists for any clues!
Melf:	The cult of Lolth spins a delicate web. They would not bare their fangs without a plan. Let's see what we can learn...
Sgt. Knox:	Anything useful in there?
Melf:	It seems the drow have allied with another force - something they refer to as 'the wolf spider'. They are here for vengeance, though their true purpose is shrouded in secrecy.
Sgt. Knox:	Oh, hells... Remember that adventure I mentioned earlier? Well...
Melf:	That's quite a surprising tale, Sergeant. Especially the parts concerning Vecna...
Sgt. Knox:	That's the short version! I'll tell you all the details later.
Melf:	I look forward to it, my friend, but first we have a city to protect.
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		Let's drive these cultists from the streets once and for all!
15	Defeat the Hell Hound		Stay vigilant! The cultists have summoned a hell hound!
Melf:	This area is clear. Next we rally the people and organize a proper defense.
Sgt. Knox:	Then let's hurry to the Protector's Enclave. This way!
Melf:	We've made it just in time. This place is swarming with the little nightmares you mentioned in your story.
Sgt. Knox:	Spyder-fiends! They're pure evil, Melf!
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		These wolf-headed horrors will fall one by one!
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		Let us rout these monsters and secure the enclave!
Sgt. Knox:	Protector's Enclave is ours! Good. There's still hope.
Melf:	There is always hope, Sergeant. So long as even a single light flickers in defiance of the dark. Now go. Protect your people. Justice will be served, and I'll lead the charge!
18	Collect 25 Spider Webs		The webs spun by these creatures choke the streets. I will clear a path!
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		This swarm is without end, but so is my resolve! I will keep fighting!
20	Defeat the Giant Web Spitting Spider		Lolth's brood is fearsome, but their darkness shall never prevail!
Melf:	There's too many! Even I cannot stop them all on my own. If I let even one slip past me -
Explosion:	[BIG BOOM!]
Kobold Inventor:	YES! Test was SUCCESS! Boom now GUARANTEED! Bad spiders NO take our home!
Melf:	It's those troublesome kobolds from before! Perhaps their mischief will serve us well this time! I'll leave this area to them. Fight on, clever little scamps!
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		More Lolthsworn! I shall be their undoing!
Nayeli:	Melf! There you are! Alphonse sent me. We need your help!
Melf:	You have my spear. Lead on!
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		Out of our way, evildoers!
Nayeli:	Celeste, I've returned, and I've brought Melf.
Celeste:	Praise Selûne!
Melf:	What's the situation here?
Celeste:	The cultists are entrenched at a villa down this street. We're holding our own, but we've been unable to push past this massive web!
Melf:	Very well. Stand clear, friends. My meteors will deal with this in no time.
23	Defeat 1 Giant Web		The invaders cower behind this giant web! We must tear it down!
Nayeli:	The way is clear! Soldiers, we charge! Follow Melf!
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		Our target is the villa just ahead! Charge through their ranks!
25	Defeat the Drider		A vile drider commands this contingent! It must be defeated!
Melf:	Lolth's presence has been purged from here. I suggest that you make this a field hospital for the time being.
Nayeli:	It will be done, saer. I will defend the people with my life.
Celeste:	And I shall tend to the wounded. Thank you, Melf. Where will you go now?
Melf:	Wherever I am needed most, as always. Farewell!
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		Spider wolves or wolf spiders? It hardly matters. They must be dealt with!
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		Each monster felled is another step closer to victory. I shall not relent!
28	Collect 25 Dark Crystals		More of those horrors from before. What is that they're carrying?
Melf:	They're using these crystals to conjure undead shadows. So, these are not mindless terrors. I'll remember that.
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		The fiends have cornered a civilian! I must save them!
Neverwinter Thief:	Oh thank you kind saer - You again!?
Melf:	Thief! Using the tumult to slip your bonds and loot at will? You truly are the lowest of the low.
Neverwinter Thief:	I'm not THAT bad! I'm on your side, elf! Neverwinter is my home, and I'll not give it up without a fight!
Melf:	Is that so?
Neverwinter Thief:	It is so! I was sent to find help! Come on, Xuna needs you!
Melf:	Who?
Melf:	This is where the thief said I'd find this 'Xuna' and her 'scary friend.'
Makos:	Back, demon! By the Flames of Phlegethos, I will render you to ash! Arikas take you!
Melf:	Makos! Then this must be -
Xuna:	Less talking, more fighting!
30	Defeat the Shadow Demon		I'll send this shadow demon back to the Abyss!
Xuna:	Looks like that runner I sent proved useful. Nice timing, friend. They nearly had us.
Makos:	[Scoffs] Hardly, though a fellow Champion is a welcome sight. Well met, Melf.
Melf:	Xuna, yes? I don't believe we've met.
Xuna:	Yeah, I've been doing my own thing for a while. I thought I'd drop in and visit some old friends. And then all of THIS happened.
Makos:	We've survived worse without you. You could have run.
Xuna:	But I didn't! And now you're stuck with me, you old grouch. Come on. Let's clean out this storehouse. My blades are ready for more.
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		What do the cultists want with this place? We need to investigate!
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		Deeper into danger we go. Stay sharp, everyone.
33	Defeat 1 Debris		This room has been ransacked. Clear the debris!
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		No matter their number, they will not win the day!
35	Defeat the High Priestess of Lolth		A high priestess of Lolth! Her malice ends here!
Makos:	They were fools to stand against us. Now they are examples for the rest.
Melf:	Search them. We may yet learn why they were here.
Xuna:	What the - ? I thought they'd be after weapons, or supplies, but these are just shipping logs for trade throughout the region. Why? It makes no sense.
Melf:	So, they were here for information then, but to what end? The answer will have to wait. There is still a fight to finish.
Makos:	Indeed. We shall report this to the Sergeant. Good fortune to you on the field of battle, Melf.
Xuna:	See you later!
Melf:	Once more into the fray. Have at you!
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		Face me and fall, villains!
Melf:	Many of them seem to be exhausted from battle. I wonder why?
Eladrin Ambassador:	[Speaking Sylvan] Harry them, my kin! Let these invaders have not a moment's rest! And someone bring me another cup of kaeth! I feel so ALIVE!
Melf:	[Amused] Well, that answers that.
Melf:	[Shouting] Hear me, good people of Neverwinter! The tide turns in our favor! The foe is weak! Those of you able to fight, join us! Rise up to defend your homes, your city, your very future!
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		Their forces are thinning! We must press the advantage!
38	Collect 25 Cultist Blades		Disarm them! They'll be no match for us without their blades!
Sgt. Knox:	Melf! You've been keeping busy! We have them on the run!
Melf:	Indeed! Now, let us give chase!
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		Give them no quarter!
40	Defeat the Howler		A howler! Cover your ears! I will slay the fiend!
Sgt. Knox:	The enemy retreats! Neverwinter is safe! Huzzah!
Melf:	Hold your cheer, Sergeant. Our work is not yet done. They've gone into the woods.
Sgt. Knox:	You're right. We must not allow this evil to take root outside our walls!
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		Into the woods! We must find the enemy's encampment and stamp them out!
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		They've resorted to reanimating the dead! They're becoming desperate!
Sgt. Knox:	They've set fire to the trees! The curs are trying to stop our advance!
Melf:	We will not falter! Order the citizens to fall back, but gather your most stalwart warriors, Sergeant. We charge into the fray!
43	Collect 25 Spyder Legs		Target their legs! That should slow them down!
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		Through the fire and the flames, we carry on!
Sgt. Knox:	They're escaping through a portal! That must be how they got here in the first place!
Melf:	It's being guarded by a nightmarish creature the likes of which I've never seen. What IS that wretched thing?
Sgt. Knox:	Quavilithku! All soldiers, fall back! Let Melf and I handle this one!
45	Defeat the Quavalithku		An abomination guards the portal! It must be destroyed!
Sgt. Knox:	The fiend has been slain! Let's head back to the city. Melf?
Melf:	[Staring at the portal]
Sgt. Knox:	Melf, you can't be serious.
Melf:	Evil never rests, Sergeant. Neither do I.
Sgt. Knox:	That portal goes to Pandesmos, a wasteland of madness, death, and corruption!
Melf:	I will never be corrupted.
Sgt. Knox:	Oh, hells! Fine! But I'm not letting you go alone! [Whistles] Squad, with me! Nayeli, remain here! Don't let any more monsters through!
Sgt. Knox:	[Shouting] Didn't think I'd be back here so soon! I'll never get used to this deafening wind!
Celeste:	[Shouting] I thought you were exaggerating when you told us of this place, Alphonse!
Xuna:	[Shouting] Let's do what we're here to do and get out while we can!
Makos:	[Shouting] Tread carefully! The Windswept Depths of Pandemonium are not to be underestimated!
Melf:	[Shouting] Neither should my dedication to the cause of righteousness! Onward!
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		Now we strike at the heart of darkness! Press the attack!
Camlash:	[Telepathically] You mortals are all so much alike. You scream the same. You bleed the same. If I closed my many eyes, I would not know the difference.
Sgt. Knox:	[Shouting] That's Camlash, a balor general of Lolth's armies!
Melf:	[Shouting] Then you are our true foe! Face us, dark one, and meet your fate!
Camlash:	[Telepathically] I think not, little morsels. Lolth finds your feeble defiance amusing. Your deaths shall please her.
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		Tear through these servants of evil! We must reach their commander!
Camlash:	[Telepathically] Struggle all you like. It only makes the inevitable feast that much sweeter.
Melf:	[Shouting] Silence, demon! Evil will never triumph over good!
48	Collect 25 Ritual Tomes		Take the mages' tomes! We must prevent them from opening any more portals!
Camlash:	[Telepathically] Lolth's will is absolute. If the Spider Queen desires Neverwinter, I will gift it to her, wrapped in finest silk.
Sgt. Knox:	[Shouting] My friends and I beat you before, and we'll do it again! And should we fall, others will stand in our place!
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		We have them now! Break through their ranks!
Makos:	[Shouting] There's something ahead!
Celeste:	[Shouting] By the light of Selûne, what is that thing!?
Sgt. Knox:	[Shouting] Citadel spider! A living siege engine!
Xuna:	[Shouting] Enough with the spiders already!
Melf:	[Shouting] If it makes it through the portal, our efforts to save the city will have been for naught!
Camlash:	[Telepathically] The Spider Queen cannot be denied. Who are you to stand against her?
Melf:	[Shouting, with raised spear] Listen well! I am Prince Brightflame of Celene! Wielder of the Spear of Zagyg, commander of the Knights of Luna, archmage, and vanquisher of all that is wicked! I am Melf of the Arrow, evil's bane, and I am your end!
Camlash:	[Telepathically] I will not fall to - wait. Melf? As in, THE Melf? Melf the Elf? You're THAT Melf? Oh WEBS no, I'm not being paid enough for this - [Teleports]
Melf:	[Amused] I see my reputation precedes me. [Shouting] All that's left to do now is to topple this behemoth! Everyone, with me!
50	Defeat the Citadel Spider		We make our stand here! For Neverwinter! For the people! For all that is good!
Melf:	[Shouting] It is done. Makos? Celeste? Attend me. We must close the portal the moment we return to Faerûn. I will show you how.
Sgt. Knox:	[Shouting] I owe you, Melf. All of Neverwinter does. I'll see to it that Deekin writes a song about what you did for us today.
Melf:	[Shouting] What we all did, Sergeant. Together, your people faced evil and won. Neverwinter's strongest defense is its unyielding hope!
Sgt. Knox:	[Shouting] So long as a single light flickers, right?
Melf:	[Shouting] Just so, and from what I've seen this day, the Jewel of the North blazes like a beacon. May it never fade!
