An Illithid Undertaking
Head deeper into the Illithid infested Undermountain in search of Ulkoria.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Celeste:	The gate from Wyllowwood is closing! Everyone get clear!
Nayeli:	Get clear and under cover! We've stepped into a war zone!
Jarlaxle:	It looks like the githyanki assault on the mind flayers is already underway.
Nayeli:	And we're caught in the middle!
1	Defeat 25 Monsters		Your arrival on the seventeenth level has brought you into a battle between mind flayer guards and githyanki -- and neither side is happy to see you!
2	Defeat 25 Monsters		The long hatred of these enemies is on full display! You need to get clear of this fight!
3	Collect 25 Intellect Devourer Brains		The githyanki and the illithid guards fall back finally -- letting a renewed wave of intellect devourers surround you! You need to neutralize these monsters, and quickly!
Bruenor:	Them githyanki have called off their attack, but tha mind flayers is takin' time ta regroup. We need ta try ta get clear. Everybody move!
Jarlaxle:	I can hear the pitter-patter of tiny intellect devourer feet down every hallway off this area. What do we know about where we are?
Celeste:	This is Seadeeps. The seventeenth level of Undermountain was once a maze of old tunnels, spreading beneath Waterdeep and under the floor of the Sea of Swords. But there's no telling what the illithids have turned it into.
Nayeli:	If what Wyllow said holds true, the mind flayers control the entire level. Finding Ulkoria in all this madness won't be easy.
Bruenor:	Feh. We can use tha chaos ta our advantage, maybe. Move fast and hit these squid-faces hard. If we let 'em know we're comin' fer Ulkoria, then we just need ta follow tha line o' most resistance as they try ta stop us. Come on!
4	Defeat 25 Monsters		As fast as you cut down the intellect devourers, still more of those foul aberrations press in!
Bruenor:	Feh. Feelin' an oily mind flayer voice in me head again...
Mind Flayer:	Intruders. This assault is futile. With one thought from me, all of Seadeeps knows you are here.
Nayeli:	Good. Then you can send a follow-up message to all your unnatural kin. The Xanathar is fallen, and the prisoner he sent here with the duergar will be returned to us unharmed.
Mind Flayer:	Fools. Your friend is lost to you -- and you will join her before the end.
5	Defeat the Mind Flayer		The mind flayer master of the intellect devourers reveals itself at last!
Bruenor:	Never gonna get tired o' droppin' these illithids. In all me years, I never met a monster more deservin' ta die.
Celeste:	I suspect you'll get your fill of that desire before this mission is done, Bruenor. There's no telling how many mind flayers we'll find down here.
Minsc:	Let them come. They seek brains to feed upon? Minsc and Boo show them we have no brains to share!
Boo:	Squeak?
Bruenor:	Oi, elf. Ye just gonna leave that joke hangin'?
Jarlaxle:	Yeah. I prefer it when I need to work a little harder.
6	Defeat 25 Monsters		Another pack of intellect devourers pushes forth from the shadows!
Minsc:	Minsc sees no rhyme nor reason to these many tunnels. Too many tracks to read. No sense of which way through is clear way.
Bruenor:	Not ta worry, Minsc. I'm in a mood ta clear a path -- and ta pave it with mind flayer minions.
Extremiton:	Impressive. Most would be wise enough to flee from their own destruction. But you are the Champions.
Bruenor:	Gah! Them words in me mind... like dark fingers, they are... diggin' in deep...
Celeste:	That's no mind flayer. It's something more powerful. And something that knows us...
Extremiton:	You show rare intelligence for your kind, cleric. You would do well to convince your friends to surrender to my forces. The end will come more easily for you that way.
Nayeli:	If you know the Champions, monster, you'll have known the answer to that even before the question was formed in your mind. So hear this. If you're holding Ulkoria, we're coming for you. And if you're not, stay out of our way.
7	Defeat 25 Monsters		As many of these tiny aberrations as you destroy, still more appear!
Jarlaxle:	That's not coins. They're badges... from the Waterdeep city watch.
Nayeli:	Listen. Do you hear that?
Jarlaxle:	Ah, the chorus has arrived. Gibbering mouthers coming in fast!
8	Collect 25 Waterdeep Badges		These scattered badges might provide clues to the mind flayers' long-term plots. Gather them up!
9	Defeat 25 Monsters		The intellect devourers fall back at last -- but these lesser gibbering mouthers only redouble their assault!
10	Defeat the Gibbering Mouther		An alpha gibbering mouther drives its lesser kin into a chaotic frenzy! Hit these aberrations hard!
11	Defeat 25 Monsters		Hulking orogs enthralled by the illithids form a defensive line across this cavern hallway. Push through!
Jarlaxle:	The gibbering mouthers are falling back. But I can see orc thralls closing in.
Nayeli:	The orog line is shifting, though. Are they under attack from the side?
Bruenor:	Looks more like they found somethin' else ta attack from tha side. They got some creature pinned down there!
Flumph:	Aid me... please... I cannot stand against this assault...
Celeste:	My word...
Minsc:	That voice! Like clear light in Minsc's mind.
Bruenor:	That's like telepathin' ta a baby's laughter, that is. What is that, some kind o' anti-illithid?
Celeste:	In many ways, Bruenor. That's a flumph, and it's under attack! Champions, with me!
12	Defeat 25 Monsters		You press the orogs to come to the aid of a wounded flumph -- even as a pack of orc thralls presses in!
Celeste:	There, my friend. Let me heal you. The worst is over now.
Flumph:	I am grateful to you. But there is darkness here. Flee if you would. Flee quickly.
Bruenor:	Feh. Tha Champions ain't much fer fleein'. Leastwise, not until we got what we came here fer. But have ye been on this level long, friend? We got questions, and ye could pay us back fer our assist with answers if ye got 'em.
Flumph:	Answers yes. But more questions have I. Things unclear. The cloister will know.
Celeste:	The cloister! That's a great gathering of flumphs. Their telepathy and their need to feed on psionic energy might have allowed them to learn much of what the illithids are doing here.
Flumph:	Yes. Dark thoughts spread wide. Much to read there. So come. Come!
Jarlaxle:	I can't say much for the decorating in this place. The first of these relief carvings looked quite edgy, but they're getting repetitive.
Flumph:	Not carvings. Qualith plates. Writings of the mind flayers.
Celeste:	Qualith! Of course. The mind flayers record their lore in a tactile script. And if we can capture enough of these plates, I might be able to decipher it. Thank you... I'm sorry, friend flumph, but what is your name?
Flumph:	Flumph names too difficult for humanoid thoughts. A name you bless me with. I will accept.
Celeste:	How marvelous. We should think of something...
Minsc:	Minsc has thought! And Minsc names this fine flumph, 'Dumpling'! For uncanny resemblance to Minsc and Boo's favorite dessert. All are welcome.
Boo:	Squeak!
Jarlaxle:	Well, as much as I'd love to suggest we take a vote on that, we're suddenly short on time. More orogs coming in!
13	Collect 25 Qualith Plates		As you follow the flumph, the unearthly writings of the mind flayers might shed light on their plots. Grab these Qualith plates, and quickly!
14	Defeat 25 Monsters		Orc fighters step up to fill the breach as the orogs begin to break!
Bruenor:	Most orcs I ever fought, they been folks o' few words. But these ones fightin' so quiet is gettin' on me nerves. Mind flayer thralls with all their thoughts shut down. It ain't natural.
Eye of Gruumsh:	Shared mind... more powerful... more focused. The Champions defy the will of Extremiton. The champions will fall.
Bruenor:	I stand corrected. Better ye keep tha fightin' quiet rather than remind me who ye're servin', thrall. 'Cause that's just gonna make me mad.
15	Defeat the Eye of Gruumsh		The orogs fall back at last! But this enthralled Eye of Gruumsh leads the orcs in a deadly assault!
Celeste:	Dumpling, the name that orc gave - 'Extremiton.' Is that who leads the illithids here?
Dumpling:	Truth. Extremiton. The ulitharid. Plans within plans. But the cloister is near. Hurry!
16	Defeat 25 Monsters		One last push will take you to the flumph cloister, but orogs and orcs are close behind!
Dumpling:	The cloister. The community of flumphs. Dumpling is home.
Bruenor:	By me gran's best blancmange, that's quite tha sight. Flumphs floatin' as far as tha eye can see.
Nayeli:	And they're all in danger. Those accursed orcs have followed us here! The flumphs won't be able to defend themselves.
Bruenor:	Good thing we're in tha defendin' business, then. Come on!
17	Defeat 25 Monsters		The orc fighters that dog you begin to fall back -- and to attack from range!
18	Collect 25 Damp Torches		The darkness in these caverns limits your mobility. Grab up these damp torches to see if they might be usable!
Flumphs:	Welcome... Well met... Defenders of flumphs... Welcome...
Celeste:	Thank you, my flumph friends. We are the Champions of Waterdeep, come to Undermountain to rescue a dear friend.
Flumphs:	Friends taken by illithids... Many friends here... Lost to those who seek them... Taken by evil... Evil... Evil...
Nayeli:	We know the threat the illithids represent. But do I understand you correctly that they're collecting prisoners here? To what end?
Bruenor:	Gonna have ta hold them thoughts fer a tick. Get under cover, and quick!
19	Defeat 25 Monsters		Even as you exchange knowledge with the flumph cloister, orcs continue to harry you from range. Push these thralls back!
20	Defeat the Blink Dog		A war band of orogs returns to the fray -- with an enthralled blink dog at their beck and call!
Celeste:	I've learned all the flumphs have to tell, but there are so many threads to think on here. Extremiton holds this level of Undermountain, but has been sending agents into Waterdeep, seeking knowledge of the city. But why?
Flumphs:	Collected thoughts... Imperfect understanding... The dark mind... Extremiton... A hunger for power...
Bruenor:	Is it tha upper levels o' Undermountain these illithids want? We could just figure out a way ta set Halaster Blackcloak on 'em. Let 'em all go at it till no one's left.
Flumphs:	No... Undermountain the staging ground... The great city is the prize...
Dumpling:	Yes. The dark secrets. The city is what Extremiton seeks. What he builds in shadow.
Nayeli:	This fills me with foreboding -- and makes it even more crucial that we find Ulkoria. Whatever's happening, the place she's imprisoned is the center of it.
Dumpling:	Dumpling will go. Lead you to Extremiton. The best way. The only way.
Celeste:	Thank you, Dumpling. We will follow and protect you. But we must hurry.
Celeste:	Are you all right, Bruenor? You seem unusually deep in thought.
Bruenor:	Just can't help but ta think. All tha trouble we been seein' in Waterdeep lately. All o' it seemed big 'nuff on its own, but maybe it's even bigger than all that.
Celeste:	I've been thinking the same thing. Nihiloor...
Bruenor:	Aye, that mind flayer workin' fer tha Xanathar. Never quite sussed out what that illithid's angle was. Now I'm wonderin' if all tha chaos sown in tha city was just settin' up fer somethin' even bigger...
21	Defeat 25 Monsters		Quaggoth-haunted caverns mark out your route to Extremiton's sanctum. The fight is on!
22	Defeat 25 Monsters		Lesser gibbering mouthers swarm to all sides! Drive them back before they surround you!
Jarlaxle:	More quaggoths ahead. But they look like they're falling back...
Minsc:	Minsc sees them moving somethings. Many crates.
Nayeli:	It doesn't make sense, but... it looks like some kind of smuggling operation. All those crates are marked with the seals of Waterdeep merchants.
Bruenor:	Seems a long way down ta bring stolen goods that ye'd need ta resell topside in tha city again. Best we see what's goin' on here.
23	Collect 25 Stolen Goods		The stolen goods being moved by these quaggoths must be integral to the mind flayers' plans. Break up this supply line!
Jarlaxle:	This makes no sense. All these crates are filled with worthless tripe. Mundane books, knickknacks, household supplies. If this is a stolen goods ring, their business plan needs some work.
Dumpling:	The flumphs see these things. Hear the thoughts of Extremiton. Seeking all knowledge of the city.
Bruenor:	Too bad these thralls is all too far gone ta talk ta. We gotta get some answers. And it looks like that Extremiton is tha illithid we're gonna have ta ask.
24	Defeat 25 Monsters		You're making headway against the quaggoths -- but the relentless assault of the gibbering mouthers holds you back!
25	Defeat the Quaggoth Thonot		A quaggoth thonot drives its enthralled kin into a battle frenzy! Stand fast!
26	Defeat 25 Monsters		As fast as you drive the quaggoths back, another force of thralls is upon you!
27	Defeat 25 Monsters		Orc thralls and mind flayer guards quickly join the fray! Stand fast!
28	Collect 25 Quaggoth Claws		These quaggoths are deadly natural fighters. Clipping the claws of a few of them might temper their assault!
29	Defeat 25 Monsters		The quaggoths begin to fall back at last! But gibbering mouthers turn the battlefield into chaos!
Jarlaxle:	Mind flayer guards are on the move.
Celeste:	And look there! An illithid arcanist controls all these thralls.
Bruenor:	All right, then. We hit that main squid-head hard 'nuff, all that control's gonna break.
Celeste:	Dumpling. I have a thought. Stay close to me, and I'll protect you as we move toward the mind flayer. Then use your telepathy to catch its thoughts. See if it reveals anything of what it's defending here.
Dumpling:	I understand. I accompany you. I fight with the Champions!
30	Defeat the Mind Flayer Arcanist		An elite force of mind flayer guards presses you -- with a powerful arcanist in command!
Dumpling:	Dark thoughts in the illithid before the end. Obsessive. Protective.
Bruenor:	Protectin' what, though? What's between us and where Ulkoria's held?
Dumpling:	Dynamo... psi-pods...
Bruenor:	Gotta admit, I ain't likin' tha sounds o' either o' those.
Dumpling:	Pictures in the illithid's mind. Difficult to translate. Come. I know the way. Dumpling will show you.
Jarlaxle:	Dumpling, are you quite sure this is the easiest way? I can see a lot of movement ahead.
Dumpling:	Safest way. Illithids are far from here.
Nrakk:	No doubt because they have been driven back. This is a githyanki war camp!
Celeste:	The gith are under attack by a mind flayer squadron. We need to help them -- convince the githyanki that we're fighting the same enemy.
Bruenor:	Looks like a tall order. This fight's headin' straight at us!
31	Defeat 25 Monsters		Trying to step up to aid the githyanki is easier said than done. This battle is out of control!
Nayeli:	The githyanki have gained the upper hand in the fight. Nrakk, who do we talk to? We need to negotiate an end to these hostilities.
Nrakk:	There. That contemptible gish leads these cowardly rabble.
Bruenor:	Might be a good idea ta hold Nrakk on tha back lines fer tha negotiatin', I think.
Celeste:	My lady of the githyanki, hear us! We are the Champions, here to strike against the mind flayers. If you stand down, we'll have a chance to talk.
Githyanki Gish:	The programming of the illithids' servants grows more complex with each attack. Ignore these base deceptions! Reform lines! Hit these thralls hard!
32	Defeat 25 Monsters		The mind flayers and their aberrations have broken -- but the githyanki refuse to stand down!
33	Defeat 1 Barricade		You can't negotiate with the githyanki while they pepper you with ranged attacks. Clear out this barricade so you can close the distance!
34	Defeat 25 Monsters		The githyanki regroup. Convince them they can't win this fight, and perhaps they'll stand down at last!
Bruenor:	Right! We fought ya ta a standstill and have been leavin' all yer fallen alive. Will ye githyanki read tha writin' on tha wall and figure out we ain't workin' fer tha mind flayers? If ye're here ta bash them illithids, we're on yer side!
Githyanki Gish:	There are only two sides here, dwarf. The githyanki and all others. We will not have our intent divided. We will not allow others to claim the magic the illithids have forged here.
Nayeli:	Then will you at least let us pass? Our fight is not with you, and we waste precious time... wait. What is that?
Jarlaxle:	More mind flayer guards on the move. And they've brought something disturbingly beholdery with them!
Nrakk:	The githyanki cowards and their gish leader flee. They leave this fight to us.
Celeste:	That's a mindwitness! A beholder corrupted by the illithids' ceremorphosis!
Bruenor:	Don't know who this Sarah is, but we'll deal with her when we get ta her. Right now, hit that aberration hard!
35	Defeat the Mindwitness		As the githyanki scatter, an illithid mindwitness connects the consciousness of these mind flayer guards for a deadly assault!
Bruenor:	No time fer restin' We gotta keep movin'. Dumplin', which way now?
Dumpling:	Follow back the way mindwitness came. The illithids protect there. The dynamo there.
Nayeli:	Then there'll be more defenders waiting. Everyone stay close...
Jarlaxle:	Well this is... unusual.
Bruenor:	By me gran's overflowin' water garden, that's some serious renovation them mind flayers has been doin' down here. What is this place?
Dumpling:	The dynamo. Illithid construction. Flow of water turned to power for dark experiments. Many workers here.
Jarlaxle:	And it looks like that workforce is coming out to greet us!
36	Defeat 25 Monsters		Like all the illithids' thralls, grimlocks and giant frogs alike are driven to attack any threats!
37	Defeat 25 Monsters		Orc fighters step up to support their enthralled allies. Look sharp!
38	Collect 25 Frog Legs		These giant frogs won't stay away from this fight. Turning some of them into rations might convince the rest to break.
39	Defeat 25 Monsters		Another force of grimlock laborers pushes in to attack!
Bruenor:	We must be gettin' closer ta tha generators in this here dynamo. That rumblin' is gettin' louder!
Jarlaxle:	That's not a rumbling. It's a croaking!
Bruenor:	What? More frogs?
Jarlaxle:	Yes, for every possible definition of the word 'more.' Look out!
40	Defeat the Froghemoth		A deadly froghemoth follows the giant frogs into battle! Hit this monster hard!
41	Defeat 25 Monsters		As you push deeper into the dynamo, more orc thralls join in on the grimlock assault!
42	Defeat 25 Monsters		The giant frogs you scattered have regrouped -- with deadly intent!
Bruenor:	Looks like we dropped 'nuff o' these grimlocks ta earn us a moment's respite. But what's with them pouches they're all carryin'? This some kind o' grimlock shaman convention?
Jarlaxle:	If it is, they're doing a casino night as part of the entertainment. These are all coin pouches -- and full to the brim.
Dumpling:	More of the surface world. Stolen away to Seadeeps. Part of Extremiton's mad plan.
Nayeli:	Then we'll shut down that part of the plan like we are everything else.
43	Collect 25 Coin Pouches		Whatever Extremiton's need for the coins these grimlocks carry, it's time to give the illithids some cash flow problems!
44	Defeat 25 Monsters		As more grimlocks press in, a squad of orcs appears from the shadows. It's an ambush!
45	Defeat the Basilisk		Mind flayer guards push in to finish this fight -- with a deadly basilisk under their command!
Bruenor:	All this mind flayer equipment left lyin' around don't sit well with me. Ye sure we can't do more ta take this place out?
Celeste:	Not without risking bringing this whole area down on top of us. If we damage the dynamo, there's no telling whether it'll shut down -- or whether it'll overload itself with all the power it's generating.
Nayeli:	Then we'll settle for shutting down whatever's on the receiving end of that power.
Dumpling:	Psi-pods draw this power. Chambers of the mind. Still ahead. But so many impressions. Hard to separate...
Celeste:	Keep trying, Dumpling. You've led us well so far.
46	Defeat 25 Monsters		Elite orc thralls block the way forward. Time to end this fight!
47	Defeat 25 Monsters		Even as you drive the orcs back, another wave drives into you from behind! You're surrounded!
Bruenor:	Them orcs is breakin'. Let's get a move on.
Jarlaxle:	Watch your footing. The floor is covered in... wait...
Celeste:	What in the world...? These are all worthless trinkets from the city. Why are the mind flayers collecting so many mundane tokens from Waterdeep?
Bruenor:	Pretty sure that ulitharid's gonna have all tha answers we're lookin' fer once we find it. But we got mind flayer guards and more o' them accursed brain hounds ta deal with first!
48	Collect 25 Valuable Trinkets		You need to grab the trinkets that fill this area -- but a force of mind flayer guards and intellect devourers has other ideas!
Evelyn:	Y'all see that mind flayer just staring at us, right?
Jarlaxle:	He's had er... having... his lunch, let's worry about the others coming right for us!
49	Defeat 25 Monsters		The ulitharid's lesser servants stand fast to prevent you from reaching it! Hit them hard!
Celeste:	Watch yourselves, friends! The ulitharid is here!
Bruenor:	Feh. Looks like just another mind flayer ta' me. Bit taller, maybe, and a couple o' extra tentacles. But me axe can take care o' both those things quick 'nuff.
Nayeli:	It's just standing there. Waiting for its minions to deal with us, no doubt. Let's show him he's in over his head.
50	Defeat the Extremiton		The ulitharid Extremiton stands before you at last! Time to take this monster down!
Extremiton:	Your tenaciousness does you credit, Champions. Follow me if you dare to seek your friend -- and learn the secrets of this place.
Bruenor:	Can't get past these fleein' intellect devourers. That blasted aberration's gettin' away!
Nayeli:	Stay after him! He's slipping into the next chamber.
Dumpling:	Caution Champions! I sense danger. A trap laid.
Nayeli:	Then it's a trap we're obliged to set off, Dumpling. For Ulkoria! Friends, follow me!
