Best Laid Plans
Face off against Skabatha Nightshade as your heist takes a turn!
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Phil:	Okay, so...I can see some weaknesses in my plan. The pumpkin bomb planting went off without a hitch... and then Bobi overstuffed the fireworks so we don't know how bad it is out there. We've gotten over half the kids Skabatha kidnapped -- that's good! But we are in the middle of Loomlurch.
Jarlaxle:	Which may well be full of flaming rotten pumpkin guts outside this door.
Phil:	I covered that. The looms are sabotaged -- Skabatha is definitely busy which buys us some time. But Chucklehead turned evil and stole our trebuchet so we need to rework the last part of our plan.
Mishka:	And we need a way to save Chucklehead! He's hurt!
Jarlaxle:	He's hurt because he turned evil and attacked us. I don't know why Elkhorn is carrying that goblin out of here.
Celeste:	Jarlaxle, you're upsetting Mishka. We're going to find a way to rescue your friend, sweetie. We'll figure out if he's cursed as soon as we fight our way out of here.
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		Skabatha's on the move, but you've got to get past these minions if you have any hope of stopping her!
Nat:	[signs] I need to find a way to get more words onto Star's talking quilt. He has so much more to say.
Star:	[indicates] Happy. Happy. Fast. Go.
Celeste:	Nat, I am so proud of how you've helped Star and how brave you've been on this quest. But we REALLY have to move.
Elkhorn:	If we're gonna save this goblin, best bet is to get our hands on a unicorn horn.
Jarlaxle:	Oh just that? Just an incredibly rare and dubiously acquired component? For the goblin that tried to murder us with our own trebuchet? Easy-peasy!
Mishka:	I know where there's a unicorn horn.
Jarlaxle:	Uh-huh. Sure you do.
Mishka:	I DO. Elkhorn said he needed one, and I found it. It was in Sowpig's cabinet with her other treasures, so I took it for later when I ran away again or when Elkhorn got free.
Jarlaxle:	All right, hold that thought while we deal with these soldiers and we'll discuss what you ACTUALLY found.
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		The tin soldiers block your path, and they have more of those tricky mimics with them! Press on!
Mishka:	I ACTUALLY found a unicorn horn. It's pearly and swirly and pointy on the end.
Celeste:	If Mishka found a unicorn horn...I don't know if that bodes well for Eilodon, Lamorna's missing mate.
Jarlaxle:	Where's the horn NOW?
Mishka:	In the garden. I stuck it in down in the carrot patch 'cause it's the same shape and put some leaves on top.
Elkhorn:	Nicely done, lass! Let's get that horn.
Bruenor:	Tha pumpkin bomb's likely ta make goin' treacherous. These kids are all unprotected!
Celeste:	Those tin soldiers' helmets will help protect their heads! Let's get as many as we can!
3	Collect 25 Tin Helmets		This is getting dangerous! The kids all should be wearing helmets! Those tin soldiers won't need them!
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		There's only one way out of here and that's through those minions! Carve a path!
Phil:	There's the exit! Let's go!
Sowpig:	Naughty, naughty! Mustn't run off before everyone gets a turn.
Phil:	Look out!
Jarlaxle:	Sowpig? The thief? Didn't we defeat her already?
Sowpig:	Mistress sewed up her favorite. More time to play.
Jarlaxle:	Yeah, we're in a hurry. Go be creepy somewhere else.
Celeste:	Stop antagonizing her.
Sowpig:	Too late. I'm mad now! And so is Mister Knife!
5	Defeat the Sowpig		Skabatha's little ghoul thief has been stitched back together and boy is she angry! Defeat Sowpig one more time!
Jarlaxle:	I hope that's the LAST time we deal with that little ghoul.
Phil:	Then we had better defeat Skabatha or she'll just fix Sowpig up again. That's how it always goes.
Bobi:	There you guys are! Where have you been? Where's Will?
Phil:	It's me, Bobi! Don't make me rip off this mustache again, it really hurts.
Bobi:	Whoa! I had no idea that was you! Amazing disguise!
Jarlaxle:	Is it?
Phil:	The pumpkin bomb went off way bigger than we were expecting. You have to get all the kids out of here, while we goop this room up with boggle oil. Blooshi, Yorven, can you help?
Bobi:	Ready, boss! But...uh, we have a lot of problems between us and Little Oak! Like all those boggles!
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		The last batch of kids is waiting in the sewing room! Get past these boggles and soldiers!
Pincushion:	What are you doing? Get back to work! Wait...who are all you people? Nevermind -- get back to work anyway!!
Bobi:	Oh no! Pincushion spotted us! The living doll that supervises the sewing room!
Minsc:	All right, not to be Mister Know-it-all, but I know evil and that doll is evil.
Blooshi:	For real. Very creepy. Hey! Doll! Want to be friends? I have this whole evil vibe I'm working on and --
Pincushion:	I don't want to be FRIENDS! I want to sic these redcaps on you! Get 'em!
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		The tin soldiers have enlisted the aid of redcaps! It's getting fierce in here!
8	Collect 25 Spools of Thread		Those spools of thread will come in handy! Gather them up!
Bruenor:	When we get out o' here -- IF we get out o' here -- do we have any notion o' how ta get ta Yon? We dinna have a balloon this time.
Celeste:	I've been trying to figure that out. We might need to brave the mountains ourselves.
Bruenor:	Well we've managed worse! Guess we've got 'nuff ta handle right now, gettin' past these minions!
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		You've got the kids! It's time to go! Don't let these enemies stop you!
Blooshi:	That's the last of the boggle oil! All the fabric is soaked with the stuff.
Yorven:	The fabric is all as black as the soul of the hag who--
Jarlaxle:	Stop! We don't have time for a monologue.
Pincushion:	Hey! Saboteurs! Who's going to clean up this mess?
Phil:	Uh, well, the plan was Skabatha.
Pincushion:	I don't know who YOU are, good sir, but you won't be leaving without cleaning up all of this!
10	Defeat the Pincushion		The living doll's stitched-on grin sends a shiver through you -- Pincushion won't fail their mistress!
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		Uhhh....how many fireworks were in that pumpkin bomb? Well, we can't go backward! Go forward, through the animated coals and minions!
Bobi:	This. Is. Epic.
Sloane:	That bomb was so OP.
Celeste:	OP?
Sloane:	Over pumpkined, duh.
Blooshi:	Yeah, duh, Celeste.
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		A boggling number of boggles comes at you! Knock them down!
Phil:	That's the door to the gardens! Mishka said that's where she hid the unicorn horn -- and we can get back around to Little Oak if we go that way.
Zennor:	I tried that already -- it's locked.
Nat:	[signs] Do any of these keys open it?
Zennor:	Keys? Hey! They must have scattered in the explosion! Let's try them!
13	Collect 25 Keys		Skabatha's keys have scattered! One of these will get you out the garden door! Pick them up!
Nat:	[signs] None of these work!
Celeste:	Skabatha must still have the key to this door!
Jarlaxle:	Good thing there's another way out! Turn around.
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		This fire's getting hot! Grab all the kids and get past these minions!
Blooshi:	What do the kids make in this workshop anyway?
Phil:	Toys mostly.
Blooshi:	Toys are fun. Maybe your hag isn't as creepy as our hag.
Yorven:	No. Look at these. These are horrible for a child. A toy guillotine. All these cards full of crying children. These puppets that look like a shouting family. That set of nesting dolls -- children, get back! Those dolls are attacking!
Blooshi:	All right I'll agree that's a bad toy.
15	Defeat the Scary Nesting Dolls		Oh look! A pretty set of nesting dolls -- ARGH! Those are very scary nesting dolls! Don't let anything worse come out of them!
Elkhorn:	We need that horn, and not just for Chucklehead. Belong to an adventuring party -- Valor's Call. Came here looking for the archfey, Zybilna to get her help. But our enemies showed up. They're called the League of Malevolence and from what I overheard down in that holding cell, they're trying to get a unicorn horn. Can't let them get this one.
Celeste:	That's right! We fought their assassin beside the unicorn lake. And Warduke mentioned Skabatha offered him a trade for this horn.
Elkhorn:	You've fought with the League? They're here?
Celeste:	Warduke is. He fled from Little Oak.
Elkhorn:	Ho ho! The mighty Warduke fled a bunch of kids? That had to sting.
Celeste:	With any luck he won't bother us again. Let's keep pressing for the exit.
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		You need to get to the gardens and fast! Battle these goblins back!
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		Tin soldiers and goblins? Will it ever end? Drive them back!
Yorven:	Look out!
Phil:	That debris is blocking our way out! We can't get through the garden door and now we can't get out the other way!
Zennor:	Bobi, I knew that was too many fireworks!
Yorven:	Children, get back. We will dare the flames and clear the way. Your innocent hands--
Jarlaxle:	They literally built the pumpkin bomb that did this, stop with the innocent hands stuff and help clear this.
18	Defeat 1 Burning Debris		Oh no! Burning debris has blocked your way! Clear the Burning Debris!
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		The door is in sight! Fight past the tin soldiers!
Celeste:	Let's go. Will, get these kids back to Little Oak. Elkhorn, take Chucklehead and guard the kids. We'll go for the unicorn horn and meet you back at the tree.
Phil:	Right! Stay safe, Champions. See you on the other side.
Skabatha:	Not so fast, you little rats.
Skabatha:	We've had our fun -- you've certainly kept me on my toes -- but we're finished now. You had your chance to play nice and bring me Will of the Feywild like I asked for, and instead you teamed up with the little twerp and destroyed my house! So now I'm done being nice.
Phil:	You have NEVER been nice! You kidnapped all these children to work in your factory! You dethroned Zybilna -- where is she anyway?
Skabatha:	Oh like I'm just going to tell you that.
Jarlaxle:	Forget it, kid. It's the villain monologue. Just get your weapons ready.
20	Defeat the Skabatha		Skabatha Nightshade has had enough of your shenanigans! Show her there's more where that came from!
Skabatha:	Curses! Don't think you've won, Champions! You haven't seen the last of me! Rocking horse, away!
Bruenor:	Drat, she escaped!
Celeste:	We'll catch up to her eventually. But now Thither's free at least. Elkhorn, Will -- let's get back to the plan. Get the kids to Little Oak and we'll find the horn.
Phil:	Right! I guess I don't need this anymore --
Will:	OW! OW! OW! That glue is sticky!
Blooshi:	Wow, this garden has everything. Creepy flowers, too-bright mushrooms, goblins.
Nayeli:	The hag's minions haven't fled with her. We're going to have to fight through these goblins to find the carrot.
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		Oh no! More goblins in the garden! You know what to do!
Nat:	[indicates] More words. You like it?
Star:	Mew! [indicates] Yes I do. Small words, but careful paws.
Nat:	[signs] Minsc! It's working! [indicates] This is very good.
Minsc:	May I see it? [indicates] I...try. Well met, friend. Good talking.
Boo:	Squeak! [indicates] Well met. Pay attention! Angry animals!
Nat:	[signs] Oh no! Goats!
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		These goats are usually peaceful creatures, but you're getting in their way! Dodge those horns!
Blooshi:	I think this is the carrot patch. Carrots are the orange ones, right? Or is that pumpkins?
Bruenor:	'Tis both, but these are carrots. They grown under tha dirt.
Blooshi:	Oh like a worm?
Celeste:	One of these is going to be the unicorn horn, but we're going to have to pull them all up to find it.
Bruenor:	Well, that means more veggies fer our supplies!
23	Collect 25 Carrots		One of these carrots is the unicorn horn! Find it fast and save Chucklehead!
Blooshi:	Okay is this a unicorn horn or a pale sparkly carrot? I don't want to taste it in case it IS a carrot.
Celeste:	That's it! Now to get it back to Little Oak and see if it can help Chucklehead.
Jarlaxle:	Now to see if helping the goblin who turned on us is a terrible idea, you mean.
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		The garden is teeming with poisonous plants -- and angry enemies! Stand your ground!
25	Defeat the Shambling Mound		That's no compost heap! A shambling mound heaves itself up and after you! Take it down!
Celeste:	Let's get out of here. This garden's too dangerous to linger in.
Celeste:	We're back! And we found the unicorn horn! How's Chucklehead?
Elkhorn:	Not good. Still hasn't woken up and he's fading fast.
Mishka:	Chucklehead, please wake up!
Celeste:	We'll do what we can, Mishka.
Elkhorn:	Not much you can do if you keep letting those boggles in! Get out, you little monsters!
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		Skabatha may have fled Thither, but there's still plenty of boggles and redcaps ready to rumble!
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		How are these goblins and redcaps getting in to Little Oak? Someone shut the door!
Celeste:	I'm going to try to cure Chucklehead, but I can't do anything if we don't get these redcaps under control. Someone shut the door!
Blooshi:	The door is full of redcaps.
Celeste:	Well get rid of the redcaps and then close the door!
Blooshi:	They have very sharp axes! Wait...I know what you're going to say.
28	Collect 25 Redcap Axes		Take those redcaps' axes so they can't fight you!
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		Seriously, someone close the door! You're letting all the minions in!
Celeste:	All right, that's the ritual set up. Here we go. I just touch the unicorn horn to his forehead and --
Chucklehead:	HA! What? Wait...Where am...I?
Mishka:	You're all right! We rescued you!
Chucklehead:	You...rescued me? After I...I launched flaming mudballs at you. It was fun.
Will:	I mean, I don't think anyone is disagreeing about that part. Flinging mudballs is objectively fun and fire is fun so we get it. But we're not going to go any further before we figure out whose side you're on. Mishka insists you're not evil.
Chucklehead:	I...Mishka, you saved me? I...Look out! The redcaps!
30	Defeat the Redcap Leader		The redcaps' leader wants those axes back! Don't let him push you around!
Bruenor:	Thanks fer tha warnin' there, Chucklehead.
Chucklehead:	I..of course. That redcap would have hurt all of you.
Celeste:	You were protecting Mishka.
Chucklehead:	I mean I wasn't NOT protecting the rest of you...But...okay, yes, I don't want Mishka hurt. I don't want any of the kids hurt. But...the worm's gone. It's not gnawing on my brain anymore, so I'm evil again.
Nat:	[signs] I don't think this is how worms work. Or morals.
Minsc:	Nat is right. Evil is in your actions. You can choose to be good without having a parasite devour your brain. You had dedicated your remaining life to doing better -- you can still do that. And then I will not have to destroy you! We will all win!
Chucklehead:	You're right. I don't have to be evil. I can help these kids! And maybe help those goblins figure out a new way to live without Skabatha ordering them around!
Will:	And if you stay with us, you can be in charge of the trebuchet!
Chucklehead:	Oh man...you don't know what that means to me. *sniff* All right! I'm turning over a new leaf! Starting today!
Mishka:	Hooray!
Jarlaxle:	Not to interrupt, but we still need to figure out how to get to Yon.
Bruenor:	Aye, but first we've got 'nother round o' wild beasts attacking.
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		You're deep in the forest again, which means fierce animals attack! Keep to the path!
Little Oak:	You wish... to go... to...Yon?... I know... the way.
Will:	Wait, Little Oak? You've been to Yon?
Blooshi:	Wait, Little Oak can talk?
Little Oak:	I've never... been across... the border... but I... know... the path. I... can... take you... there...
Celeste:	Little Oak! Thank you so much! We'd be so grateful if you showed us how to get to Yon.
Blooshi:	At least we know they walk faster than they talk.
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		Wolves howl and deer charge -- but you've got places to be! Forge ahead!
Little Oak:	When... I was...a seedling...I roamed...Prismeer...looking...for where...I might... want... to set down... roots.
Blooshi:	Wait, I thought you were like a kid-treant.
Little Oak:	I... am... but... I'm not...a SEEDLING... duh. When...the Hourglass... Coven... took over... Prismeer and...divided it, I... was... in... the mountains... I... saw... the path...to...Yon. It is... a dangerous... desolate... place.
Celeste:	Hmm sounds like we should bulk up our supplies. Those roots the animals have turned over are edible. We should gather them up.
Blooshi:	Ew, why all the root eating? Surely Yon has flies!
Celeste:	For the rest of us then. Help us gather up the roots.
33	Collect 25 Edible Roots		Those roots will bolster your supplies. Where you're headed, there's not much to forage!
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		The dark forests of Thither teem with wild enemies! Fight back!
Little Oak:	The path... to...Yon... is this... way --
Jarlaxle:	Thank you! We'll just be--
Little Oak:	Beware!... Yon is... not like... Thither... and --
Jarlaxle:	Got it! We're good!
Celeste:	Jaraxle, stop interrupting Little Oak!
Little Oak:	And...there is...a...very large...angry...porcupine...coming...at you.
35	Defeat the Feywild Porcupine		Another feywild porcupine charges you! Watch out for those quills!
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		You're on your way, but Thither still has ways to slow you down! Stop those satyrs and raccoons!
Minsc:	More Feywild madness! Where did those satyrs come from?
Little Oak:	They often... get lost... coming from... Yon.
Jarlaxle:	Great. That means we're close.
Minsc:	What about the pixies?
Jarlaxle:	Pixies? ...Oh no.
Pixie Leader:	What's up, losers? I see you're not dead yet!
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		Wait? Pixies? Oh no...
Jarlaxle:	Go away. We don't need your advice or your input.
Pixie Leader:	Of course you do. You idiots don't know the first thing about Yon!
Jarlaxle:	Excuse me, we've done some research this time. It's rocky and inhospitable and we already know where the path is.
Pixie Leader:	Oh so you're basically experts? Great. What's Endelyn Moongrave's greatest weakness? How do you appease the brigganocks? What do you do about the wind?
Celeste:	We don't know any of that. Are you offering to explain it to us?
Pixie Leader:	No! I'm telling you what idiots you are! Keep up!
Pixie Leader:	Too bad most of you can't fly. You're going to have a bad time once the wind starts blowing. Can't catch yourself, lead-legs!
Celeste:	You could give us some pixie dust. If we had pixie dust we could fly if we needed to.
Pixie Leader:	I'm not just GIVING you things! How will you learn if I just give you things you need?
Jarlaxle:	We could also just take it.
Pixie Leader:	See? That's a much better lesson! Give a person pixie dust, let them fly for a day! Force them into mortal combat for pixie dust, maybe you also get to scratch their faces up!
38	Collect 25 Bags of Pixie Dust		That pixie leader is back, but while she might have advice, she's still sending her troops to attack! Grab their pixie dust!
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		These satyrs and pixies don't seem to be getting along -- but they'll team up to fight you!
Pixie Leader:	Hey! HEY! Get out of here, you dumb satyr! I told you I don't have your money! Leave me alone!
Blooshi:	Uh, do you guys know each other?
Pixie Leader:	Why do you think I know him? Just because we're both fey types?
Blooshi:	Didn't you say you owe him money?
Pixie Leader:	No HE says I owe him money. But I'm gonna let him attack you and call us square.
40	Defeat the Satyr Leader		Now you're in for it! The satyr leader is done with these arguments! Stop his charge!
Awakened Toadstool:	PHHBT! PHHBT! The buttheads are back!
Celeste:	This is really the only path to Yon?
Pixie Leader:	You don't even know where you're going?
Celeste:	We have a guide, we're fine.
Pixie Leader:	Stars, you are so RUDE! Here I am trying to help you and you just throw it in my face! RUDE!
Awakened Toadstool:	Hehehe! We'll show you rude! PHBBT!
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		You're back among the toadstools! Rude! Don't let them slow you down!
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		Those toadstools can do worse than call names! Fight back!
Celeste:	Do you even know anything useful about Yon? Or are you just here to yell?
Pixie Leader:	I know PLENTY about Yon! I know you're not remotely prepared enough for how barren it is. You think some roots will save you? You need basically a whole pantry!
Celeste:	Oh like these mushrooms? Oh wait, these are poisonous...
Pixie Leader:	No they aren't, you dummy! Those are completely edible! They're delicious with some garlic and parsley! Pick them before I get mad!
43	Collect 25 Feywild Mushrooms		These feywild mushrooms are edible -- and it sounds like not much in Yon is. Replenish your stores!
Jarlaxle:	...Celeste, are you doing what I think you're doing?
Celeste:	Shush, Jarlaxle. All right, Pixie, I'll grant you know about what doesn't grow in Yon. But we already knew it was rocky and barren. That's not really news.
Pixie Leader:	I'll bet you don't know about the winds! There are tornadoes in Yon! Huge gusts that will blow you right off the cliffs! And then where will you be?
Celeste:	Hmm, you kind of mentioned that already. Remember, the pixie dust.
Pixie Leader:	WELL YOU DON'T KNOW THAT ENDELYN MOONGRAVE IS A HUGE THEATER FAN! HUH? DID YOU KNOW THAT? Pixies! Re-enact 'The Battle of the Goofy-Faced Champions Who Don't Know Anything!'
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		These pixies are causing more trouble than ever! Now they've got vicious toadstools and deer on their side? Stand your ground!
Celeste:	So the best way to get to the third hag, Endelyn Moongrave is to pose as an acting troupe?
Pixie Leader:	That's right. If you can swing it under an eclipse all the better. See I do so know things!
Celeste:	My goodness, you're really showing us up here.
Pixie Leader:	I've barely gotten started! You might have enough food, but do you have trinkets for trading? No, of course not. And do you know about shadow scissors? Or...hey. Wait a second! Did you just trick me into telling you everything I know about Yon?
Celeste:	I don't know -- is that really ALL you know about Yon?
Pixie Leader:	Ooooooh! You rat! Just for that I'm not going to tell you about the brigganocks! Or the beacons! Or the beekeeper! AND I'm gonna run you over with my moose!
45	Defeat the Pixie Leader		It always comes to this doesn't it? Defeat the pixie leader!
Jarlaxle:	I like this side of you, Celeste. I'm very proud right now.
Celeste:	I am just glad we've seen the last of --
Jarlaxle:	DON'T say it. Let's just get moving.
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		Goblins galore! Fight the army of goblins blocking your way!
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		Wait...goblin zombies? You've seen those before!
Minsc:	Wait. I have seen goblin zombies like these before.
Nat:	[signs] With that weird guy! That Warduke guy!
Elkhorn:	Warduke?
Warduke:	That's right, Elkhorn. Prepare to meet your end.
Warduke:	Hand over the unicorn horn and I'll let the children flee.
Jarlaxle:	Whoa, whoa, whoa -- this is where you're going to start negotiating? Did you HEAR what we did to Agdon Longscarf? Kids are off the table.
Yorven:	There is dark and there is DARK. You've crossed a line.
Warduke:	What? I said I'd let them go!
Yorven:	Implying that you won't if we do not give you the unicorn.
Jarlaxle:	So either you've crossed the line or you're bad at threats. We'll let you think about it while we take care of these shadows.
48	Collect 25 Feywild Trinkets		It's Warduke! He's back! And it seems like Yon is bleeding through here -- so many shadows! Do as the pixie leader said and gather trinkets for currency!
Warduke:	YOU are the ones who thwarted and humiliated ME. I'm not the bad guy here! I was trying to do my job.
Yorven:	Threatening children isn't a job you should take.
Warduke:	That hag told me he was a thief! She didn't tell me it was a kid! And then he dropped a cage on me!
Will:	That's right! You owe me a new cage!
Warduke:	Arrrrgh!
Warduke:	Fine! Leave the kids out. Even the thief. Give me the unicorn horn or I'll end the rest of you!
Elkhorn:	What do you want the horn for anyway? You don't even like Kelek!
Warduke:	I like that he's paying me! Goblins! Attack!
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		Warduke won't let you pass! He sends his goblin army against you! But you need to get to Yon!
Jarlaxle:	You're a mercenary? What if we just paid you more? Could we stop all this and get on our way to Yon?
Warduke:	I have some pride.
Jarlaxle:	Mmm, do you? You did get trapped in a cage by a bunch of kids.
Warduke:	That's it! We're doing this!
50	Defeat the Warduke		Warduke accepts your challenge, ready to prove he's more than a match for the Champions! Show him how wrong he is!
Warduke:	Defeated. Again. Over this STUPID horn! I don't even understand what it IS with Kelek and unicorns -- or why he thinks this is the best use of my skills! Do you know how many planes I am considered deadly on? It's a lot.
Minsc:	Even though you are clearly evil -- I did notice the helmet -- they are very impressive skills. I can see why you get hired, although...maybe you should consider not working with this League of Malevolence. They don't sound like good friends. Or people. Or, you know, likely to not stab you in the back.
Warduke:	That's...that's nice of you to say. I mean you all just really destroyed me there. And I DID get captured by a bunch of kids and a tree. What IS it with this plane?
Jarlaxle:	We've been asking that since we got here.
Elkhorn:	Here, come on. You all head on to Yon and get going on your quest. Those hags are likely catching up to each other and the longer you wait the harder it will be to stop them. Warduke, why don't you come with me? Let's see if we can figure out something better for you than being Kelek's guard dog.
Warduke:	..I'd...like that. Maybe teach these kids a thing or two in case the hag returns. But I'm keeping the helmet and the flaming sword. I have to be me. Farewell, Champions. Perhaps we'll meet again.
