Beware the Jabberwock
The Jabberwock is ready for a brawl. Face them down before the hag coven descends!
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Celeste:	Hiss! Be careful! Don't bite down on him while you're flying back! Oh, I don't know if sending the suddenly giant, suddenly flying baby crocodile to fetch the floating knight from over the pit of eternal storms was the best idea!
Jarlaxle:	Well, describe it a few more times. I'm sure it will make you feel better.
Nat:	[signs] Hiss is doing great! She's got this!
Elkhorn:	So once we have Strongheart back we just touch him with the unicorn horn and say his name? Seems simple enough. Provided you've got a unicorn horn, I suppose.
Celeste:	Once we have him back, we can find your other friends, Mercion and Ringlerun. Then we'll need to find where the jabberwock might have hidden the cauldron. And hope the hags of the Hourglass Coven don't try to stop us.
Jarlaxle:	We've beaten them before, we can do it again. I'm sure they haven't been saving up their most powerful attacks for us... No. No, I heard it. That was me that time. 'Stop jinxing us, Jarlaxle.' Let's just clear off this platform for Hiss and Strongheart and pretend I never said anything.
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		While Hiss returns with the frozen Strongheart, clear the platform of pixies and glasswork golems!
Blooshi:	So, just to be clear, your friend --
Warduke:	Hmmmm, former friend.
Blooshi:	-- Former friend and my future zombie servant --
Warduke:	He's not going to agree to that.
Blooshi:	Okay well, anyway, that guy's actual name is 'Strongheart'? Like a heart that's strong, and then he's like a paladin? That can't be real.
Warduke:	... I've been told it's a family name.
Nat:	[signs] Hiss, put him down here! Careful! Careful!
Star:	[indicates] He's so big. And so frozen.
Minsc:	He's not THAT big. He's not bigger than me.
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	I'm not being insecure, I am describing facts. We are at least the same size, and also I bet he never killed two dragons in six seconds.
Hiss:	He's heavy! Oh! There'sss more monssssterssss attacking!
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		Get a little space to wake Strongheart up! Take out those glasswork golems and toadstools!
3	Collect 25 Stained Glass Swords		There's no swinging a stained glass sword if you don't have one! Take the glasswork golems' weapons!
Celeste:	That's as clear as it's going to get! Hiss, set him down!
Bruenor:	Ye spoke too soon, lass! Here comes some more!
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		More enemies surge toward you, threatening to push you into the seething pit of storms! Fight back!
5	Defeat the Master Glasswork Golem		The master glasswork golem is a work of true beauty -- and deadliness! Shatter its attack!
Hiss:	Down, down, down!
Nat:	[signs] Great job! Who's the strongest flying crocodile with a horn? You are!
Elkhorn:	Welp, here goes nothing! Put the unicorn horn on his chest and... STRONGHEART!
Strongheart:	... And I will never let you gain control of... Wait. Where am I? Who are all you people? Elkhorn? What happened? The last thing I remember was fighting against the League of Malevolence...
Elkhorn:	Yeah, things went a bit sideways. And we have a new situation to deal with.
Celeste:	We can explain all of it.
Blooshi:	Okay but FIRST, can you explain why your name is STRONGHEART?
Strongheart:	... So you're a band of heroes working together to save the realm. They've already defeated the League of Malevolence. There's a coven of hags that have taken over Prismeer. Zybilna is trapped somehow. There are children who must be rescued from a demiplane.
Bruenor:	Aye, that's tha long and short o' it.
Strongheart:	And you've recruited my nemesis, Warduke.
Blooshi:	He said 'former friend.'
Elkhorn:	He's turning over a new leaf. They got a lot of gold to share, this bunch. And he did stand up to Kelek.
Strongheart:	That's not even getting into this peculiar frog girl insisting I should become her zombie retainer, or whatever is going on with that crocodile thing! This is all quite a lot to process. And now we're being attacked by goblins and pixies?!
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		Passing back through the Hall of Stars, more pixies and goblins impede your progress! Carve a path!
Jarlaxle:	Look, the pixies and goblins are just a feature of the palace at the moment. The important thing is we're going to free the other members of Valor's Call, restore Zybilna, save the kids, and maybe take out those hags if they show up -- which means we need to know if you're going to help us.
Strongheart:	You're working with Warduke. How do I know you're not evil?
Jarlaxle:	Good and evil are really very limiting descriptors.
Strongheart:	That's not helping.
Jarlaxle:	Look, do you want to be right, or do you want to save defenseless children? I'll take care of these goblins for you while you think about who you're calling evil.
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		These Feywild foes are no match for the Champions! But their numbers do seem to be increasing -- push them back!
Celeste:	I'm a little worried that Strongheart has a point.
Jarlaxle:	Ughhh not this again.
Nayeli:	Yes this again! You're constantly pulling us away from good! I think you like it!
Jarlaxle:	I'm pulling you toward 'practical.' Do you not remember how badly we needed the guy with the flaming sword to smash the cauldron?
Celeste:	I'm not worried about Warduke. Just, you know, our general alignment. It feels like we might have been sliding lately.
Jarlaxle:	What do you want to do? You want to ask the goblins nicely to desist? We can ask the goblins nicely to desist. We'll give them presents and ask for favors! It'll be great.
8	Collect 25 Goblin Trinkets		The rule of reciprocity is still in force -- maybe you can make a deal with the goblins? Gather up some trinkets!
Goblin Gardener:	Hey! What gives? You're stealing our trinkets! Those are OUR hard-earned trinkets!
Jarlaxle:	I'm making a point!
Nayeli:	What point? You're doing something foolish and pretending it's what Celeste and I asked for so you can say we were wrong and it doesn't work? Literally no one thought this would work!
Jarlaxle:	RULE OF RECIPROCITY!
Goblin Gardener:	Well if it's like that, we get to steal from you now! Maybe we'll just loot your corpses!
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		More goblins and pixies attack, trying to push you back! Get those weapons up!
Celeste:	Saer, we can settle this amicably. We don't need to fight.
Goblin Gardener:	You should have thought of that before you started it! I heard what happened with that sweet pixie leader!
Celeste:	... All right, but do you really KNOW her? I'm just saying --
Goblin Gardener:	Goblins! Attack!
10	Defeat the Goblin Gardener		The goblin gardener is furious at your intrusion! Defend yourselves!
Strongheart:	Mercion!
Celeste:	Don't worry. We can unfreeze her. We just have to get through these satyrs and animated tea sets!
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		There's Mercion, the cleric of Valor's Call, right where you left her! Surrounded by satyrs and animated tea sets!
Strongheart:	Are you even trying to be helpful, Warduke? What happened to 'I'll take this army on by myself'?
Warduke:	I COULD take them on by myself, but I'm trying to be a member of a team here.
Strongheart:	Oh like you've ever cared about being a member of a team!
Nat:	Stop fighting! You're upsetting Hiss!
Jarlaxle:	More importantly, you're letting those satyrs gain ground!
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		Those satyrs are very territorial! Scare them off so you can rescue Mercion!
13	Collect 25 Sachets of Tea		Maybe the tea sets just want to be useful? Gather up some sachets of tea!
Strongheart:	This isn't about being a team member. This is about you not wanting to rescue Mercion.
Warduke:	You know what? FINE. I don't want to rescue her particularly, I like her much better this way, but a job's a job.
Strongheart:	Because you're evil!
Minsc:	What now?
Warduke:	No, because I don't LIKE her! She's really rude! And mean!
Bruenor:	Lads, I'm gonna remind ye we're still under attack!
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		Tensions are high, but these enemies don't care. Get yourselves in order and take them out!
Minsc:	Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait... Who is evil?
Strongheart:	Oh I don't know, could it be the man in the bat-winged helmet and flaming sword?
Warduke:	Yeah, you've already made your opinions very clear about my armor. Your best friend Mercion made sure of that.
Hiss:	Fighting! Fighting!
Nat:	[signs] Will you grown-ups stop acting like babies? You're upsetting my crocodile, and... Thumping? What's that?
Minsc:	The jabberwock! It's back!
15	Defeat the Palace Jabberwock		The jabberwock is back and more frumious than ever! Make with the snicker-snack!
Celeste:	Did it just... give up? It felt like we'd only started and it sort of... ran away.
Hiss:	Chassse! Hissss CHASSSE!
Nat:	[signs] No! You can't chase the jabberwock! You'll get hurt!
Jarlaxle:	Well, Celeste, I hope you're happy with yourself. You've made Nat into a mini-you.
Elkhorn:	Look, let's just settle this after we unfreeze Mercion --
Warduke:	I don't see what there is to settle. I'm fine. I have new... well, I'm not going to say 'friends,' but teammates, who aren't superficial.
Strongheart:	You mean they don't care that the Heartstone revealed your evilness?
Warduke:	Well your group doesn't care that it revealed your smugness and judginess, so I guess we're all perfectly happy!
Nat:	[signs] What is wrong with you two? Why are you so mad at each other? How can you just stop being friends?
Jarlaxle:	And could you go over it after we clear out these taxidermy animals?
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		With the jabberwock gone you should press on to rescuing Mercion... assuming you can stop this fight. Maybe smashing animated objects and taxidermy animals will be easier...
Strongheart:	We stopped being friends because he turned evil.
Warduke:	We stopped being friends well before that! We were just going through the motions, you coward!
Minsc:	What could possibly be worse than being evil?
Warduke:	... He said my new armor was stupid.
Strongheart:	I did NOT! And anyway, that's a stupid reason to be upset!
Warduke:	You absolutely did! You told Mercion and she told me, because she's always prided herself on 'brutal honesty,' which let's all be clear, is just a cover for being mean.
Strongheart:	Well... I don't remember. And even if that happened, you still turned evil when you touched the Heartstone!
Warduke:	Some friend you are. 'Oh the ancient artifact turned you evil? Sucks to be you, I guess we're enemies now!'
Bruenor:	This is all very... Well it's dramatic, is what it is! But we've got a problem brewin'.
Celeste:	Taxidermy animals and now those are lornlings? Bavlorna must be near...
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		Wait a minute! Taxidermy animals? And are those lornlings? That can only mean one thing: Fight Bavlorna's minions!
Strongheart:	You turned on me the moment you touched that thing! Don't make this about some insult I still don't think I said!
Warduke:	Why don't we just unfreeze Mercion and ask her? We all know she'll tell EVERYONE exactly what you said!
Jarlaxle:	Elkhorn, just unfreeze the cleric and shut them up! Those lornlings are up to their old tricks again and if they get back to Bavlorna with information about where we are, we lose the advantage.
18	Collect 25 Lornling Notepads		Those nosy lornlings are going to take word of you back to Bavlorna! Snatch their notepads!
Elkhorn:	Here we go. 'Mercion.'
Mercion:	Have at you, villain! Wait... Elkhorn? Wow, you look terrible.
Elkhorn:	Yeah, being locked in a hag's cell without food will do that.
Mercion:	What happened? Strongheart? And... Warduke?! What are you doing here? Did we finally capture him?
Celeste:	Take a moment, but stay back until you've got your bearings. We're still being attacked by the hag's minions.
Mercion:	Wait, who is she? And what is going on with her hair?
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		Mercion's awake, but the room's still full of enemies! Clear the space!
Warduke:	Mercion, you told me Strongheart said my new armor was stupid. That happened.
Mercion:	No, it didn't.
Strongheart:	Thank you! I am honorable and would do no such thing!
Mercion:	... Are you kidding me right now? Strongheart, you absolutely insulted his armor. You just didn't call it stupid. You said it was 'tryhard' and 'tacky' and 'why is there only one leg and sleeve?' You just didn't call it stupid.
Warduke:	HA!
Strongheart:	Well... Then... Why did you tell him that???
Mercion:	Because I don't think it's honorable to talk about people behind their backs! How's he going to know to change his tacky, tryhard armor if no one tells him. This is what I like about Warduke -- when Strongheart was learning that ridiculous sword move, you just told him it looked ridiculous. Right in the middle of that goblin fight!
Strongheart:	That sweeping strike works perfectly!
Mercion:	All right, we're wrong. Good for you.
Celeste:	Again, could you do this later? We're under attack!
20	Defeat the Taxidermy Monstrosity		Bavlorna's taxidermy monstrosity slithers out of the corner to attack you with claws and teeth! Fight back!
Warduke:	I forgot about that thing with the goblin fight...
Strongheart:	... I didn't.
Mercion:	Yeah, you're both pretty terrible at talking about your feelings, which is fine with me, because I don't actually care. Where's Kelek anyway? Did we at least defeat him and whatever bad unicorn plan he was on?
Nat:	[signs] Minsc, I miss Squiddly and Jenks. It's so sad to think about not having friends.
Minsc:	Well at least you have Hiss! But I'm sure they're all right.
Boo:	Squeak!
Nayeli:	Your wizard friend is at the other end of the palace in this room full of glass statues.
Mercion:	Well let's get Ringlerun and get out of here. Unless you want help with the hags?
Nayeli:	At this point, we've beaten them multiple times.
Mercion:	If you have to fight them again, did you really beat them?
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		Making your way toward Ringlerun, the White Rose Hall is full again, this time with Bavlorna's minions! Fight back!
Blooshi:	Okay, so like, you definitely seem kind of lost in thought, Strongheart, but before we get to your wizard friend, I just wanted to revisit my 'be my zombie bodyguard' pitch.
Strongheart:	Oh. I assumed that was a joke.
Blooshi:	Hear me out: I can't actually make you a zombie just yet, BUT when I do figure out how to do that, you would be like, my top zombie, the best one. Because you are very tall and the armor is working. We would look so good together, don't you think?
Strongheart:	... Are you... propositioning me?
Blooshi:	What? Ew, no. You are very... pink and dry. No offense.
Strongheart:	I'm... going to go help the others with these bullywugs. Those other bullywugs. Um. No offense.
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		More bullywugs block your way! Cut them down!
23	Defeat 1 White Rose Rug		The white rose rug fights back again! Break past the rug of smothering!
Nat:	[signs] Warduke, why don't you just tell Strongheart you want to be friends again?
Warduke:	I don't. Why? What did he say?
Nat:	[signs] Grown-ups make EVERYTHING harder. You clearly both need to say you're sorry and get past this.
Warduke:	Is it usual for a small child to manage this group? Because I need a lot more gold to deal with that.
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		Bavlorna's minions are numerous and slimy! Shut them down!
Bruenor:	Ah, cave rats. I think this might be a different hallway. That ain't tha door ta tha glass statues room.
Jarlaxle:	How many halls with white rose patterned rugs of smothering can there possibly be?
Bruenor:	I dinna know but I do think that hydra is a new feature!
25	Defeat the Hydra		A hydra with heads waving blocks your progress down the hall! It must be sent by Bavlorna!
Celeste:	That hydra seems awfully at home in a swamp. I wonder if it's guarding something... or someone.
Minsc:	Only one way to know: Kick down the door!
Celeste:	Minsc, wait!
Jarlaxle:	Well this is... different.
Mercion:	You mispronounced 'disgusting.'
Celeste:	It looks like a prison tower. Those creatures in the cages must have been held by Zybilna.
Bruenor:	But why's it full o' mud now?
Bavlorna:	Because I like it that way!
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		This sludge-filled tower is the perfect hiding place for that toadlike hag, Bavlorna Blightstraw! Battle your way in!
Bavlorna:	So you made it to the palace after all. It's not going to do you any good, you know? The stasis curse isn't going anywhere.
Jarlaxle:	The League of Malevolence is gone. No one's guarding the cauldron.
Bavlorna:	We're tracking down the cauldron. And you're dying in the mud!
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		Taxidermy animals and abyssal rats scuttle through the mud toward you! Take them down!
28	Collect 25 Feywild Fungi		There's an abundance of fungi in here -- the good to eat kinds? Pick a bunch!
Jarlaxle:	Wait, you don't know where the cauldron is.
Bavlorna:	We know a lot more than you do, Champions.
Jarlaxle:	Oh yeah? The butler you didn't realize wasn't encompassed by the stasis spell told us the jabberwock hid it.
Bavlorna:	... Well you're smarter than you look. Most of you anyway.
Blooshi:	Who do you think she's talking about?
Minsc:	This isn't worth thinking about. She's just trying to distract us from thwarting her.
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		Bavlorna's taunts are brutal, but her minions are worse! Carve a path to face the hag!
Bavlorna:	Would you all just die already? Honestly, this is getting repetitive.
Jarlaxle:	You first!
30	Defeat the Bavlorna Blightstraw		You have Slack-Jawed Lorna cornered, but what tricks does she still have up her sleeve! Fight while you can!
Bavlorna:	Enough of this! I'm tired of the dancing about. We have to have a final showdown? We're going to have a final showdown.
Mercion:	That's a lot of words to say 'I'm running away.'
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	You're right. Those wet lily pad tracks lead back down the hall.
Jarlaxle:	Let's just get across this as fast as we can. I don't want to fight another rug.
Minsc:	Good news then! It's toadstools and lornlings!
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		Bavlorna's escaped but her lornlings remain, teaming up with the toadstools! Stomp them quick!
Star:	[indicates] What is this? A big pool?
Celeste:	This bathing room certainly seems like somewhere Bavlorna might flee to.
Jarlaxle:	Are you going to be the first to get in the water to check?
Celeste:	You first.
Mercion:	What is the deal with you two? Are you like a couple or is this one of those 'sneaky meeting up when the rest of the party's in the tavern' things?
Celeste:	I beg your pardon?!
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		This bathing room is full of steam and awkwardness -- and pixies and lornlings!
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	You DO always skip the tavern after adventures!
Celeste:	Because I don't like taverns! And I have... vigils to attend!
Boo:	Squeak!
Jarlaxle:	Can we talk about the giant crack in the wall instead of this random person's wild assumptions?
Minsc:	I don't know, I think you should answer Boo's question.
Mercion:	Ohhhh, is it kind of a 'will they, won't they' thing? You do realize that wears very thin, very quickly on the rest of the party?
Boo:	Squeak.
Minsc:	I don't think that's fair, Boo.
Celeste:	I'm going to worry about the giant hole in the wall. The broken tiles make it dangerous to pass, but if we clear them out we can see what's there.
Jarlaxle:	If it means not standing here, I think that's a great idea.
Mercion:	Well, at least they're not letting the tension get in the way of the quest. Literally the worst part of adventuring.
33	Collect 25 Broken Tiles		This isn't busywork, right? There could be something in that crack! Collect the broken tiles!
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		Bavlorna's not here but her minions sure are! Push back those pixies, lornlings, and toadstools!
Jarlaxle:	There's a cavity back here. It looks like a cave.
Celeste:	Be careful. Last time we went poking around caves, they were full of demon lords.
Boo:	Squeak. Squeak-squeak.
Minsc:	Boo! That is just spurious gossip. Everyone was very focused when we were in the Underdark!... I think? Maybe. There was that time after we left --
Celeste:	Minsc, I swear to the Moonmaiden, I WILL throw that hamster in that bathing pool.
Jarlaxle:	Wait. There's something moving in the shadows... It's... Get back! Everybody get back! It's that jabberwock again!
35	Defeat the Palace Jabberwock		You've found the lair of the jabberwock! It lunges out at you, teeth and claws flashing! Defend yourselves!
Hiss:	Hissss tackle! Hiss bite!
Nat:	[signs] No, Hiss! You're too little! It will hurt you!
Star:	[indicates] Is she too little? She's very big.
Minsc:	Star is right, Nat. Hiss is not very little anymore. And she can fly. And spit lightning. I don't know how worried you need to be.
Nat:	[signs] I just don't want her to get hurt! She's my friend! And I don't know what I'll do if another friend goes away!
Nat:	[signs] Hiss, I'm sorry I'm being too protective. I'm just so excited you're here and you're mine and I don't want anything bad to happen to you. Maybe I am worrying because of what happened to Squiddly and Jenks.
Hiss:	Hissss... forgets who are Squiddly and Jenksss.
Nat:	[signs] They're my friends. My... well my party. We go on adventures together and play together and take care of each other. They are... really annoying sometimes and sometimes we fight, but they're like my brothers.
Strongheart:	[sniffs]
Warduke:	[sniffs]
Mercion:	I'm going to fight these goblins while you two decide if you remember how to talk.
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		Back on the trail of Bavlorna, you encounter goblins and animated tea sets! Fight back!
Warduke:	This is stupid. We're enemies now. We've been enemies longer than we were friends!
Strongheart:	... Has it been that long? Wow. Time flies, I guess. But -- to be fair -- you're not a member of the League of Malevolence anymore, right?
Warduke:	Of course not. They can't pay me when they're dead.
Strongheart:	And Valor's Call isn't TECHNICALLY at odds with the Champions. Maybe we don't have to be enemies anymore. Maybe we can be... colleagues?
Warduke:	Maybe.
Mercion:	Maybe you could stop crying on each other and come help with these glasswork golems?
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		More goblins and glasswork golems crowd the hall! Carve a path!
Warduke:	Just to be clear, I don't want to be colleagues with Mercion. I'm not going to try and cut her head off or anything, but I would rather just not be around her.
Mercion:	The feeling's mutual!
Strongheart:	Yeah... Mercion's... a lot. Sometimes I think I could use some time away from Valor's Call.
38	Collect 25 Teaspoons		These animated tea sets clatter down the hallway! Snatch their teaspoons back!
Bruenor:	We've gotten all turned around. Maybe it's best we try ta get back ta tha middle? That big stormy overlook? Otherwise I'm afraid we're gonna be goin' in circles forever!
Jarlaxle:	Be my guest. Any idea how we get back to the center?
Bruenor:	Nay, I guess we're back ta openin' doors and seein' what comes out o' them!
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		More enemies crowd the hall of stars! Cut a path!
Blooshi:	Hey look! A cauldron! I saved the day!
Nat:	[signs] I don't think that's the magic cauldron.
Blooshi:	How many cauldrons could there possibly be in this palace?
Nayeli:	At least two -- one that sprays hot soup and one that removes the stasis curse!
40	Defeat the Animated Soup Cauldron		Is that Zybilna's cauldron? No! It's an animated soup cauldron! And it's spitting mad!
Nat:	[signs] What's that? What's that? That looks like a beanstalk!
Minsc:	A giant beanstalk! That's a strange thing to have in a palace. Especially one with such a well-tended garden.
Jarlaxle:	Somehow I doubt this one's here for harvesting reasons.
Bruenor:	Aye, what's that glintin' in tha center? Behind tha cloud o' pixies?
Jarlaxle:	A bunch of animated tea sets! Weapons up and spells ready, people!
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		A beanstalk rises up the remains of this tower, while pixies and animated tea sets try to pin you down! Fight back!
Celeste:	I think it's a portal... Though it's not clear where to.
Blooshi:	Um, maybe the plane of beanstalks and random junk? Just going off of clues here.
Celeste:	Whatever it is, we should be careful. The other portals we've encountered would take us back home, but we're too close to saving Prismeer and we haven't found Squiddly and Jenks yet. Plus we'll have to break open the beanstalk to get to it. We might need this to go up a floor.
Mercion:	You could throw the nosy hamster in. He's small and --
Minsc:	DON'T YOU DARE!
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		More pixies harry you, but now bullywugs on dragonflies? Bavlorna must be near!
Blooshi:	What IS all this weird junk? It's like someone decorated the beanstalk? But why would you decorate a beanstalk?
Nat:	[signs] They look like toys!
Hiss:	Toysss! Yesss! Let's play! Hissss isss sssso bored!
43	Collect 25 Dangling Toys		What are these peculiar objects doing hanging all around the beanstalk? Gather them up and figure it out!
Bruenor:	Toys all right. Why would someone hang toys all over a beanstalk?
Blooshi:	Hmmm... Ooh! I know! To bind the souls of ghost children to the plane of beanstalks and random junk!
Nat:	[signs] What?!
Bruenor:	Nay, nay, nay, lass! She's just bein' spooky fer her own sake. Nobody's makin' child ghosts.
Blooshi:	Yeah you have to EARN it.
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		The crowded space fills again with dozens of attackers! Stand your ground!
Celeste:	With all these bullywugs around, I think it's clear we're close to Bavlorna.
Jarlaxle:	Great story! We're still in a maze of a palace with no idea where to go.
Minsc:	In that case I vote we climb the beanstalk. We might not be any better off, we might discover a golden goose! Either way, we will be able to say we have climbed a beanstalk!
Jarlaxle:	... Well, it's not a GOOD plan, but it's not the worst thing we've tried. Let's... Wait, what's coming down the tower?
Nat:	[signs] The jabberwock! Hiss! Get back!
45	Defeat the Palace Jabberwock		The jabberwock! It has you cornered! Fight for your life!
Hiss:	Hisss! Pounce!
Nat:	[signs] Hiss! No! Hisss!... Are they playing?
Minsc:	I think they are playing. Has that been what the jabberwock's been following us for?
Nat:	[signs] Celeste! Do something! It's dangerous! You hate danger!
Celeste:	I don't think it is. I think... They're the same size. Same energy. They're happy playing like this.
Hiss:	Hissss! Catch you! Catch you! So fierce!
Jarlaxle:	Not to break up this happy moment, but Hiss, do you think you could ask your new friend where Bavlorna and the cauldron might be?
Hiss:	Do you know where there issss a froggy hag?
Bruenor:	Oop! There it goes!
Celeste:	Follow that jabberwock up the beanstalk
Yorven:	After we get through these bullywugs and giant frogs!
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		The jabberwock is leading you to Bavlorna, but first fight through her minions! Then up the beanstalk!
Blooshi:	Wow! This is a LOOK!
Nat:	[signs] It's so red!
Mercion:	Kind of a tacky look, but it's not like it's a public room, I guess.
Bruenor:	Where's Bavlorna though? All I see are more frogs and those weird taxidermy creatures!
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		Giant frogs and taxidermy animals crowd the reddest room you've ever seen! Fight back!
48	Collect 25 Taxidermy Tools		Those taxidermy animals are turning their own tools against you! Take them away!
Bavlorna:	Well, well, well. Quicker than I expected, but not quick enough.
Jarlaxle:	What's that supposed to mean? Do you have the cauldron?
Bavlorna:	Wouldn't you like to know?
Mercion:	Gods, is she cryptic AND slimy? That is a really ambitious combination.
Bavlorna:	Nobody asked you, girly. Try and keep up. Although if you can't handle this, you'll absolutely hate what I have for you next!
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		Bavlorna has something up her sleeves, but right now it's just more bullywugs, frogs, and taxidermy animals -- keep your guard up!
Strongheart:	Gods above, they've combined!
Warduke:	The monstrosity we defeated? But...
Bavlorna:	'Twas just a little sewing project to patch it up, Champions. It's been very annoying knowing you. Maybe I'll make something entertaining from your remains.
50	Defeat the Bavlorna Riding a Taxidermy Hydra		Bavlorna's final form has been revealed! Hold onto your lunch and finish her off!
Celeste:	Is everyone all right?
Jarlaxle:	Fine. You have some taxidermy goo on your face.
Boo:	Squeak.
Warduke:	That was very well done... colleague.
Strongheart:	Thank you. It was... nice to fight beside you again on the same side. Also... you really weren't exaggerating about the amount of gold.
Celeste:	If Bavlorna's here, the other two hags of the Hourglass Coven aren't going to be far behind. We still need the cauldron and a way to rescue the kids. We can't rest now -- we need to go deeper into the castle.
