Champions of Waterdeep
Head home after a job well done. What can possibly go wrong?
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Bruenor:	Right. Aurinax and the mages are on their way ta get tha Vault o' Dragons locked down again. But we can't afford ta leave any o' these brigands down here when tha doors is closed.
Nayeli:	Cultists of Asmodeus, the Cult of the Dragon, the Xanathar Guild, the Zhentarim... they'll all be out for revenge with their plans to seize Dagult Neverember's hoard of gold thwarted.
Bruenor:	Better fer us. They'll all be lookin' ta settle a score with tha Champions -- and we'll be ready fer 'em.
1	Defeat 25 Monsters		Even with their master defeated, these Zhentarim agents fight on. Send this mob on its way!
2	Defeat 25 Monsters		Another Zhent force seeks revenge for Manshoon's defeat. Hit them hard!
3	Collect 25 Lost Dragon Coins		More scattered coins from the hoard need to be collected. Grab this loot!
4	Defeat 25 Monsters		Zhent forces are setting up to prevent you leaving the Vault of Dragons alive. Push through!
Bruenor:	Them Zhents is puttin' up a fight ta remember. But without clear orders ta follow, they're runnin' out o' steam.
Nayeli:	Best we make sure that no one's in a position to give them orders, then. One last push should scatter them. Everyone to me!
5	Defeat the Roguish Thief		A conniving thief looks to be trying to get the Zhents to regroup. Time to convince these Black Network lackeys to get into another line of work!
Jarlaxle:	Watch yourselves. There's a patrol ahead.
Bruenor:	More Zhents? Them blighters don't know which way they're runnin' anymore.
Jarlaxle:	No, it's another group of old friends. Xanathar Guild fighters. And they seem to be looking for action.
Bruenor:	Good. I was hopin' them beholder lackeys would stick around ta finish what they started. Let 'em come -- then hit 'em hard!
6	Defeat 25 Monsters		Though their master has seemingly fled, the servants of the Xanathar Guild are still lurking within the vault!
7	Defeat 25 Monsters		A mob of gazers enters the fray! Look sharp!
8	Collect 25 Rations		The Xanathar's forces look like they're planning to try to hold within the vault. Convince them to shorten their stay here!
9	Defeat 25 Monsters		You have these Xanathar fighters on the run! One more push!
Minsc:	Minsc and Boo have patrolled. Other dungeon halls are clear. One Xanathar patrol left, with little fly eyes lurking. Very sneaky, them.
Boo:	Squee!
Jarlaxle:	And what about that squelching sound I sent you out to investigate?
Minsc:	Minsc saw nothing. Most likely Boo's tummy rumbling. We are long past lunch break.
Boo:	Squee.
Jarlaxle:	I'll suggest we file that away for now -- and keep an eye on where that shadow down the hall is moving!
10	Defeat the Black Pudding		Gazers appear as the Xanathar fighters fall back, leading you into the territory of a black pudding! It's an ambush!
Minsc:	Minsc and Boo completed second hungry patrol. Other dungeon halls are definitely clear now.
Jarlaxle:	I can't tell you how confident that makes me feel.
Bruenor:	We're makin' good headway clearin' these lower levels out. We keep pushin' up, we'll drive a wall o' villains straight out tha front doors. Time ta find us some stairs. Come on!
11	Defeat 25 Monsters		Cultists of Asmodeus are still at large within the vault. Time to end their evil once and for all!
Jarlaxle:	The cultists are falling back. But they've got someone else with them...
Ammalia Cassalanter:	Help me, please! I am betrayed by my husband's villainy!
Nayeli:	That's Victoro's wife. I won't trust her any farther than her late husband. Is she a hostage of those cultists or leading them?
Ammalia Cassalanter:	Please, Champions! You don't know what I've endured. My children... Terenzio and Elzerina... my poor little ones...
Bruenor:	Need ta get closer ta tell what she's up ta. Keep an eye on her fer sure, but let's clear these devil worshipers out!
12	Defeat 25 Monsters		The cultists set up a last defense -- but it won't last for long!
Nayeli:	All right, you're safe -- but hold your tears for friends, Cassalanter. You'll need to work to convince me your husband kept his evil plots secret from you. You're no fool.
Ammalia Cassalanter:	But I am! I was a fool to let him deceive me. It was his bargain that cost my children their souls. But there is another way -- a way to win them back, perhaps.
Celeste:	Tell us what you know, Ammalia. Then we'll judge what we might be able to do.
Ammalia Cassalanter:	An alternative bargain, struck by Asmodeus himself. The wealth of the Vault of Dragons, plus one hundred lives sacrificed on Founders' Day. If this offering is made, I might win back the children's souls. You must help me claim the hoard!
Nayeli:	One hundred... you monster! This is why you and Victoro sought the hoard here. As a means to mass murder!
Ammalia Cassalanter:	Insolent knight. Very well! If the Champions won't serve me, I'll add your souls to my lord Asmodeus's offering!
Nayeli:	She's getting away! After her!
13	Collect 25 Eyestalks		Your pursuit of Ammalia Cassalanter is hindered by the sudden appearance of a gazer pack. Push through!
14	Defeat 25 Monsters		A Xanathar Guild patrol catches sight of you. Clear these servants of the beholder out!
Nayeli:	There she is! Leave Ammalia Cassalanter to me. I'll ensure that she joins her husband in the Nine Hells she's so willingly served.
Ammalia Cassalanter:	Do your worst, Champions. You think I fear you? I, who have entered into bargains with the Archduke of the Nine Hells?
Nayeli:	You'll have a chance to make your loyalty clear when you meet him, murderer. Now face me!
15	Defeat the Ammalia Cassalanter		Ammalia Cassalanter has regrouped with her evil servants! Take them all down!
Nayeli:	No! Don't let her escape!
Bruenor:	Too late, Nayeli. Tha craven's fled with tha last o' her cultists. And we got more imp fightin' comin' our way.
Nayeli:	She can't run far enough to hide from me, Bruenor. The Cassalanter children will have justice. I swear it.
16	Defeat 25 Monsters		While the devil cultists try to regroup, their imp allies keep you distracted. Hit these tiny fiends hard!
17	Defeat 25 Monsters		The cultists of Asmodeus gather their strength for a final assault!
Celeste:	The cultists are breaking! I think we've done it.
Jarlaxle:	Not quite yet. Their flight seems to have alerted a Xanathar patrol. But if we fall back, they might follow the cultists out.
Deekin:	Boss! Deekin find Xanathar fighter where cultists killed him. Searched the body. And look!
Celeste:	What in fate's name... that's a child's toy. What is the Xanathar up to?
Nayeli:	I vote we find out by asking. Come on!
18	Collect 25 Toys		The toys these Xanathar fighters carry suggest a sinister secret. Grab them up, and quickly!
Bruenor:	Well, none o' them blighters was much interested in talkin'. But they was all doublin' down on this second childhood, or so it seems.
Celeste:	I don't like this. With the Xanathar denied the wealth of the Vault of Dragons, the beholder's actions will be unpredictable. If this is part of some plot against the folk of the city, we need to uncover it, and quickly.
19	Defeat 25 Monsters		Another Xanathar Guild patrol reinforces their allies. Push back!
20	Defeat the Shifty Bandit Thief		A shifty thief leads a pack of Zhentarim thugs on a looting spree. Clear them out!
Bruenor:	Back at tha entrance at last. That's a solid day's work clearin' out malcontents and cult lackeys, but Aurinax and his mages can seal tha vault again.
Nayeli:	I'm glad they will now be safe... but I don't know about the rest of us.
Jarlaxle:	This is bad. The Xanathar's servants have this whole area surrounded.
Bruenor:	Ain't sure what's bad about that. We wanna work out what plots that maniac beholder's gettin' up ta? Let's start by makin' sure he ain't got 'nuff people workin' fer him ta put them plans in motion.
21	Defeat 25 Monsters		The entrance to the Vault of Dragons is a maelstrom of melee! The forces of the Xanathar Guild must be broken!
22	Defeat 25 Monsters		Gazers make an aerial assault in support of the Xanathar Guild attack!
Nayeli:	I don't understand the guild's tactics. They're fortifying defenses like they mean to mount a siege. Is the Xanathar so mad that it doesn't understand this fight is already lost?
Celeste:	There's no telling what the beholder truly knows or cares about. All we can do until we find the creature is try to disrupt its operations as best we can.
23	Defeat 2 Barricades		The Xanathar Guild try to secure the entrance to the vault behind barricades! Show them their fight is already lost!
Bruenor:	These lackeys just don't wanna give up. Even fer tha Xanathar's servants, I ain't often seen that kind o' dedication.
Jarlaxle:	Oh, I don't know. I can think of one of the beholder's lieutenants with just this brand of maniac zeal...
Ott Steeltoes:	Keep at them! The boss is furious! But delivering the Champions will put us all in good stead!
Bruenor:	Oi! Ott Steeltoes! That dwarf fishkeeper again! Just once, I'd like one o' tha Xanathar's lackeys ta stay down when we put 'em down!
24	Defeat 25 Monsters		The Xanathar's ragtag forces are one step from breaking. One last sortie will end this!
Jarlaxle:	However dubious the fishkeeper's leadership potential, he's managing to keep the Xanathar's forces from bolting.
Bruenor:	Feh, not fer long. Tha Xanathar wants ta throw all tha dregs and duds in his forces at us, let him. We got tha same answer fer this mob as we'll have fer that beholder when we see him next. Take 'em all down!
25	Defeat the Ott Steeltoes		Defeating Ott Steeltoes should send the Xanathar's forces fleeing once and for all! Hopefully! This time for sure!
Nayeli:	That's the last of them, finally.
Bruenor:	I'll believe it when I see it. Think I'll go poke that fishkeeper one last time, just ta be sure.
Celeste:	We need to make for Blackstaff Tower, and quickly. I can hear shouting ahead -- and I don't think all of it is the Xanathar's forces fleeing...
Nayeli:	Tyr's faith! Has the city gone mad?
Celeste:	It's as I feared. The violence sown by these rival gangs of late has boiled over now that all of them have failed to claim the Vault of Dragons.
Nayeli:	The City Watch are struggling to get the streets under control. We can't let them fight alone!
26	Defeat 25 Monsters		These opportunistic bandits are intent on taking advantage of the chaos on the streets! Take them down!
27	Defeat 25 Monsters		Wild dogs are on the prowl -- giving the bandits a chance to fall back for ranged attacks!
Nayeli:	Finally inside the tower. Now where is the Blackstaff?
Vajra:	Champions! Once more, you show up at the most opportune time.
Celeste:	Well met, Blackstaff. We've come with news -- the Vault of Dragons has been opened and secured once more. Dagult Neverember's embezzled hoard is safe, and ready to be returned to the city. The gold dragon Aurinax is there, and must speak with you.
Vajra:	That's a revelation indeed! I expect the full tale will be just as eye opening, but it'll have to wait, I fear. I'll head to the vault now -- but I pray your aid for a small task in the meantime.
Bruenor:	We're here fer whatever ye need, Blackstaff. But if ye don't mind me askin'... is that pixies I see tearin' through yer parlor there?
Vajra:	A few... guests from the Feywild who've taken advantage of the turmoil within the city to cause me headaches.
Nayeli:	Leave them to us, Vajra. And good luck.
28	Collect 25 Pixie Dust Pouches		The chaos outside has spread inside Blackstaff Tower as well! Help get these pixies under control!
29	Defeat 25 Monsters		A wizard's hobbies are never dull. Crocodile hatchlings raised by Vajra have been released by the pixies and are running amok!
Pixie Leader:	Once more around the tower! I promise a Feywild rose to the winner of my race!
Bruenor:	Oi! Every time we grab up some o' these tiny lizards, them pixies just sets 'em free again, and vice versa. We gotta work on baggin' all these malcontents up at once.
Minsc:	We need place to hold them. Boo has spotted large empty tank in next room. Will be perfect!
Jarlaxle:	Hold that thought. I think I might have an idea as to why that tank is empty...
Pixie Leader:	Yes! A mighty mount worthy of my majesty! Come to me, fellow fey. We ride!
30	Defeat the Pixie Riding a Crocodile		This fight won't let up! Straighten out this crocodile-riding pixie, and the rest of these fey should fall into line!
Nayeli:	That pixie rout took far longer than it should have. We need to return to the streets.
Bruenor:	Pretty sure there's still 'nuff mayhem in Waterdeep that we can make up fer lost time. Come on!
31	Defeat 25 Monsters		Thieves stalking the streets of Castle Ward are in for a rude surprise. The Champions are back!
Bruenor:	These thieves ain't got much fight in 'em. And I can't see any Xanathar or Zhent lackeys in line o' sight.
Jarlaxle:	The uproar looks as though it might be dying down. I think things might be getting back to normal.
Deekin:	Boss! Rats everywhere! Rats on fire!
Jarlaxle:	Or perhaps I spoke too soon...
32	Defeat 25 Monsters		These thieves are close to breaking -- but this pack of burning rats is getting in your way!
33	Collect 25 Potions		The rats are spilling out of an alchemist's shop -- and the alchemical concoctions they're scattering are a potential threat. Grab them up, and quickly!
34	Defeat 25 Monsters		Summoned fire elementals roaming the street might set the whole city ablaze! Take them out!
35	Defeat the Fire Elemental		A monstrous elemental rallies the fury of its lesser kin! Time to end this fight!
Nayeli:	That's right, flee! And remind your friends that the Champions defend Waterdeep.
Bruenor:	'Tis just down ta scattered bands o' sneak thieves now. Hopefully we can take some respite from this fight soon. It'll be good ta get home and put me feet up.
Celeste:	Bruenor, wait... something's wrong. There's smoke hanging above Trollskull Alley! Everyone, we need to move!
36	Defeat 25 Monsters		Thieves slinking around Trollskull Alley are in your way as you race home. Encourage them to relocate!
37	Defeat 25 Monsters		These thieves know they won't win this fight, but can't figure out which way to run!
City Watch Officer:	Champions! Thank goodness you've returned. When the attack came and there was no response from you, we feared that you'd been caught inside.
Bruenor:	What's this ye're talkin' 'bout, friend? Someone's makin' trouble in Trollskull Alley?
City Watch Officer:	Trouble indeed! A fireball attack against Trollskull Manor -- and beholder gazers have the place surrounded!
Celeste:	Gods, no...
Nayeli:	Another fireball. This was the Xanathar's plan all along. Moving behind us while we were distracted!
Bruenor:	Well, if that blackguard beholder was hopin' ta get our attention, it's got it now.
Celeste:	Bruenor... the children. The toys the Xanathar's guards were carrying... With so much trouble on the street, Ulkoria would have kept them inside to keep them safe...
Bruenor:	Then let's count on that bein' where we'll find 'em. Come on!
38	Defeat 2 Barricades		The destruction in Trollskull Alley has left the manor behind a barrier of rubble -- and this gazer patrol underlines who's responsible!
39	Defeat 25 Monsters		The forces of the Xanathar roam at large! Show them Trollskull Alley is yours to defend!
Dwarf Thief:	Form up lines! Hold them where they are! We'll show these so-called Champions where the real power in Waterdeep lies!
Bruenor:	Ye got some nerve bringin' yer boss's business ta me home turf, friend. But out o' kinship respect, I'll give ye one chance ta clear yer fighters out and tell tha Xanathar we're comin'.
Dwarf Thief:	Maybe you'll be able to tell him yourself, warrior. There's no telling where the boss might be found. Likes visiting old friends, he does. Scouting out new properties. You understand.
Bruenor:	I understand ye ain't smart 'nuff ta walk away from a fight ye're gonna lose. So be it.
40	Defeat the Dwarf Thief		The dwarf thief who leads these Xanathar forces talks in riddles. Time to make a more concrete response!
Nayeli:	You heard what he said. His meaning seemed clear. The Xanathar is here.
Bruenor:	I ain't takin' tha word o' anyone who offers fealty ta that big-mouth monster. But stay on yer guard all tha same. We go inside, we find Ulkoria and tha kids, and we get 'em safe. Then we take care o' them that's responsible fer all o' this.
41	Defeat 25 Monsters		Xanathar forces fill Trollskull Manor! Time to take back your home!
Jarlaxle:	More Xanathar fighters ahead. They've got the place locked down tight.
Bruenor:	Aye, I can see 'em. And I can see somethin' more...
Nihiloor:	Champions. Once more, I stand before you. Will you embrace your final fate this time? For you cannot defeat me.
Nayeli:	I'm quite certain I remember besting you, mind flayer. In fact, I remember you being dead.
Nihiloor:	You think the Xanathar would allow servitude to expire due to so simple a thing as death? You underestimate my master's power -- for the last time.
42	Defeat 25 Monsters		The Xanathar is pulling out all stops in its attempt to challenge you!
43	Collect 25 Stolen Trinkets		These Xanathar lackeys have been busy looting the tavern. Lighten the load of their ill-gotten gains!
44	Defeat 25 Monsters		The Xanathar's warriors put up a good fight -- but their resolve is breaking!
Nayeli:	You're wounded, mind flayer. Your forces are breaking. Talk to me more of our inability to defeat you.
Nihiloor:	Insolent mortal. I grow tired of your play and prattle. The archmage spoke less and fought harder. Yet she fell in the end, as will you.
Bruenor:	I'll tell ye now, monster. Ye hurt Ulkoria or tha children, ye'll be wishin' fer death before tha end.
Nihiloor:	Typical thinking from your typically small mind. My master had a better fate planned for your dwarven pet. The archmage walks in Undermountain, now -- given as a token of esteem to Halaster. The Mad Mage does go through apprentices so quickly.
Nayeli:	Lies. Ulkoria would never abandon the children....
Nihiloor:	The children were already mine, fool. Even now, they cower upstairs, weeping. Once I'm done with you, I'll head up and have a small snack. Or perhaps three...
45	Defeat the Nihiloor		This mind flayer has escaped your justice more than once! Time to end its threat for good!
Nayeli:	We've killed this creature twice now, but there's no sense of justice in any of this. The Xanathar raises his allies at will, it seems. He has too many resources.
Bruenor:	Then we're gonna trim some o' them resources before this is done. But we gotta get upstairs fer now. Find tha kids. Get 'em safe. Then we end this, once and fer all.
46	Defeat 25 Monsters		Xanathar fighters taking a break in the tavern seem to not understand the threat they face. Give them a demonstration!
47	Defeat 25 Monsters		Bugbear mercenaries join the fray -- but they won't stand in your way for long!
Celeste:	Faith, no... the children's room...
48	Collect 25 Scraps of Cloth		The ruin of the children's bedroom is an affront! Clear up this mess as you deal with those responsible!
49	Defeat 25 Monsters		A force of murderous Undermountain duergar underline the Xanathar's links to the Mad Mage. Show them no mercy!
Squiddly:	Merp memimb moo!
Jarlaxle:	Good to see you too, Squiddly, but stay tied up and quiet, please. The grownups and the monster need to talk now.
Xanathar:	Fie! Champions! You thwart my plans for the last time! My gold, gone! My fighters, scattered! I claim this city by right, and no one stands in my way! No one!
Bruenor:	Beholder, with as many eyes as ye got, ye got a real problem seein' what's right in front o' ye. Tha Champions is gonna stand in yer way, today and any other day villains like ye crawl yer way up inta tha light. Ye're finished in this city, ye and yer guild. And fer puttin' tha fear inta those under our protection, ye're gonna pay!
50	Defeat the Xanathar		The Xanathar stands before you! Floats before you! You understand! Take this crazed beholder down!
Nayeli:	I can't believe it's done finally. This is the end of an era for Waterdeep.
Celeste:	We can hope so. But just as this wasn't the first beholder to call itself the Xanathar, it might not be the last.
Jenks:	Ow! Those ropes hurt!
Jarlaxle:	Then the faster you stop squirming, the faster I'll be able to untie you. Hold still.
Nat:	[Signs]
Bruenor:	What's tha lass sayin', elf? She hurt?
Jarlaxle:	She says she's fine -- but she confirms what the mind flayer told us. Ulkoria was captured trying to defend the house. A force of duergar fled with her. They've taken her to Undermountain.
Bruenor:	Then it sounds like we ain't puttin' our feet up fer long. Get a bit o' rest, everybody. Then we're goin' down beneath tha city again. We're gettin' Ulkoria back, and ain't nothin' gonna stand in our way.
