Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Move! The ulitharid is retreating beyond the end of this hall.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
If that tentacle-bearded blighter would stand and fight, I could end his threat right quick.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
You'll have your chance, Bruenor. Everyone! Look for Ulkoria! Rescuing her is our first priority. Now hit them hard!
1 Defeat 25 Monsters The psi-pod chamber stands ahead -- but this pack of intellect devourers tries to pin you down!
2 Defeat 25 Monsters As fast as you take the intellect devourers down, enthralled grimlocks step in to fill the breach!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Finally got past them blasted brains on legs. Now what are we facin'... here...?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
My word... those cylinders. There are creatures held within them.
Icon Portrait Flumph
Dumpling:
Psi-pods. This is the site. The darkness. The city rebuilt. Extremiton sends its thoughts forth. Taunting. Defiant.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Let that creature's defiance be its last thought as its life ends. There! I see Ulkoria trapped in one of those glass coffins. Fight your way through, Champions. Take these grimlocks down!
3 Collect 25 Psipod Pieces The unearthly components of the psi-pods look fragile. Disrupt the mind flayers' plans by tampering with their equipment!
4 Defeat 25 Monsters The fight turns even more chaotic as mind flayer guards attempt to flank you!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
What's happening? Is it an earthquake?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Nay, that's a focused tremor. Some kind o' creature tunnelin' in, and comin' fast!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
There! A dire tentacled worm!
Icon Portrait Flumph
Dumpling:
Danger! Neothelid! Illithid spawn grown feral! It will destroy all!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Then we need ta keep it away from them pods! Oi, ye squid-worm! Ye wanna mix it up? Try tha Champions on fer size!
5 Defeat the Neothelid A dread neothelid assaults the psi-pod chamber! This monster must be destroyed!
Icon Portrait Flumph
Dumpling:
Something happening...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That worm's on its last legs. Hit that aberration hard!
Icon Portrait Flumph
Dumpling:
Danger! Champions!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I'm heading for Ulkoria's psi-pod. Cover me!
Icon Portrait Flumph
Dumpling:
Danger!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
What's happening... I feel strange...
Icon Portrait Flumph
Dumpling:
Danger... Champions?
Icon Portrait Flumph
Dumpling:
Champions...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Trollskull manor? How did we get back... I mean... it's amazing how quickly this place has cleaned up and come back together.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
What...?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
And you were so worried, Jarlaxle.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yes... but I don't remember why. I feel like we should still be worried. But that's passing now. How interesting...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi! Hate ta interrupt, but anybody up fer rat-bashin'? 'Cause it looks like we got one last infestation ta take care o'!
6 Defeat 25 Monsters Just a bit more elbow grease and Trollskull Manor will be as good as new! Once you deal with these rats, that is...
7 Defeat 25 Monsters The last of the rats are on the run! Bid them a fond farewell!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Hopefully that's the last rodent to cross the threshold of this place.
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
Hey!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I mean aside from staff, obviously.
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
Ooh, Juniper is staff? We'll have to... get... some business cards... Hey, do y'all feel like something is --
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
You okay there, Evelyn?
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
I am fine, friend Jarlaxle. You should mind your own business and get back to work.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yes. I believe I should...
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
What was that?! Are we under attack?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
It came from outside... We should go have a look. But I feel like something will hold us here for a bit longer...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
'Tis more tha trouble inside that I'm worried about! Watch yerselves!
8 Defeat 10 Fires There's fire in Trollskull Alley! And elementals popping up inside the manor!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Ulkoria! You're safe! I mean, of course you are, but... I'm sorry, my thoughts are so scattered. What's going on?
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Champions? Oh thank the gods. Something is very, very wrong!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
We would have guessed that from seeing the entrance hall blown apart, but thanks.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
No, you don't understand. All of us, we're in a --
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Ulkoria? Did you just... disappear there for a moment?
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Everything is fine, Jarlaxle. Go about your business. There are things to fight.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Right. Everyone, Ulkoria's right. We need to deal with these elementals, and quickly.
9 Defeat 25 Monsters As a defensive strategy, fire elementals leave a lot to be desired. Clear these creatures out!
10 Defeat the Fire Elemental This monstrous elemental means to pick up the fight as its lesser kin fall back. Finish it!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi! I was hopin' this tavern'd be a local hot spot once we got it open again, but this was somethin' else.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I can hear shouting from outside. Come on! We need to find out what's going on. Jarlaxle?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Coming, Nayeli. Just help me keep an eye on things as we go...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
There are so many injured... I'll lend what aid I can.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I can see burning rats streaming out of the sewers! They're everywhere! Just like before...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like a right mess out here. And just like jackals, look who's showed up ta feed on other folks' misery.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The Xanathar guild! But wait. Didn't we --
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
To me, Champions! Our task is clear. The Xanathar threatens the city once more!
11 Defeat 25 Monsters Burning rats are causing mayhem in the street! And the thugs of the Xanathar Guild mean to use that to their advantage!
12 Defeat 25 Monsters The Xanathar fighters are starting to run! But more burning rats join the fray!
13 Defeat 25 Monsters These rats running amok are setting fire to everything they touch. Act quickly or the conflagration will spread!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. Ain't one criminal mob, it's another. That's Zhentarim pushin' up now.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
When they see the Xanathar Guild fleeing, they figure it's time to step in. Like they're always watching...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Then it's time ta show 'em they stepped in somethin' they don't wanna. Let's go!
14 Defeat 25 Monsters Zhentarim mercenaries have shown up to investigate the disturbance. Clear them out!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
At last the Zhentarim are falling back.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
And now they're fallin' forward again! What's that chasin' em?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Another burning rat. Well, the same burning rat...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. Thought we sent that rodent mob packin'.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh, we did. It's a much smaller number this time.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Should be easy then is what yer sayin'?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Exactly. You go first... well, you know the rest.
15 Defeat the Giant Burning Rat The fight with the Zhents has brought out the last of the burning rats -- and it's a monster!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Observe, champions. The City Watch is here!
Icon NPC CityWatch
City Watch Officer:
All right, folks, keep calm. Help's on the way to... Ah, Champions! Already on the scene? I was expecting you. Not quite certain how, though...
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Yes. There are thieves coming, but you have our assistance in defending the city, as always.
Icon NPC CityWatch
City Watch Officer:
Much appreciated. But I can't help feeling like we've already done this --
Icon NPC CityWatch
City Watch Officer:
Ah, Champions! You are already on the scene.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Careful, friend. Ye were lookin' a bit faint there fer a bit. And oi! Looks like tha first o' them riffraff is already here!
16 Defeat 25 Monsters Thieves intent on looting are slipping in along the edges of the disaster area. Show them they're not welcome in your neighborhood!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Watch out! Black company thugs are taking an interest in this fight.
Icon NPC CityWatch
City Watch Officer:
Defend the city in the best way you can, Champions. I'll learn from your example.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Indeed. You'd best watch carefully, then. You wouldn't want to miss anything...
17 Defeat 25 Monsters The thieves double down with their counterattack -- and the Zhentarim are back to lend them a hand!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Watch out! Archers are setting up at the edge of the fray!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We can't make no headway through all this debris. Let's get ta clearin' before we're pinned down!
18 Defeat 25 Monsters Debris laid down by the explosion and the fires hinders you in the fight. Time to clean this place up!
19 Defeat 25 Monsters As long as the Zhents are here, these thieves aren't giving up. Push these Black Network thugs back!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
These cowardly thieves will not break. What is behind their strategy?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That one there, hiding out on the far edge of the fight. Give him a taste of steel and he'll lose his nerve.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
It will be done.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
All right, then. Carry on, Nayeli...
20 Defeat the Shifty Bandit Thief This shifty bandit thief has been coordinating the looting. Time to send him packing!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
It be mayhem out there! We gotta get this mob under control, or that fireball's gonna be tha least damagin' thing ta happen ta Trollskull Alley today!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
You will do your best, Bruenor! Focus on your strategy! Attack!
21 Defeat 25 Monsters Mobs of burning rats and thieves come together in a last-gasp assault. Clear them out!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
One last push and we'll be done with these beggars. By me gran's beard, this place looks like a war zone. Do we know how bad it is?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Seven dead, the city watch said. They're recovering the bodies now.
22 Defeat 25 Monsters Rats on one side! Looters on the other! Time to end this fight!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
Mr. Jarlaxle, we saw something!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi! Since when can tha young lass talk?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
She can't. Nat has a sign language she's worked out herself. I've been watching it, and showing her a bit of drow signing besides. You must have been mistaken, Bruenor. Just let it go.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
But I coulda sworn I just heard her talkin' --
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Damn.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We should press on, everyone.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Indeed. And I know just where we should go!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Press on, Champions!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Indubitably, Nayeli! These Zhent spies have a right thrashing coming to them.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Best to keep your voice down, Bruenor. We don't want too many people to hear you...
23 Collect 25 Map Fragments With the streets around the manor finally secure, you can pursue the mysterious figure behind the fireball attack -- with the Zhentarim's unwilling aid.
24 Defeat 25 Monsters The Zhents don't take too kindly to your interrupting their business. Look sharp!
Icon Arkhan
Arkhan:
These Zhents refuse to fall back. Are they so keen for the taste of my steel?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
These ruffians have too much ego to stand down. Disgrace in battle is their only end!
Icon Arkhan
Arkhan:
...This battle rings out more loudly than I thought. I could have sworn I heard...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That's right, Bruenor. Them ruffians is too stuck on themselves. We'll show 'em that them who stands against tha Champions falls tha hard way... good grief, that's a ridiculous accent.
Icon Arkhan
Arkhan:
I feel as though I'm missing something...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
You're distracted by the heat of battle, Arkhan. Just fight!
25 Defeat the Zhentarim Assasin A Zhent assassin calls these thugs to regroup! Time to finish this fight!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
It looks like those Zhentarim were bound for the Temple of Gond.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Are you sure, Ulkoria? There's so much chaos here I can't make head or tail of anyone's movements.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I think she's right, Celeste. We should follow Ulkoria's lead. Everyone stay close!
26 Defeat 25 Monsters With the Zhents dispersed, making your way to the Temple of Gond should be easy. But these cultists of Asmodeus have other ideas!
27 Defeat 25 Monsters These cultists have evil on their minds. Time to show them the light!
28 Collect 25 Rations This moving fight has brought you into wererat territory! Whatever the cultists' plans were, stealing their supplies might shut them down -- and help you avoid a two-front fight!
29 Defeat 25 Monsters These wererats are giving you a most lackluster welcome. Time to make yourselves at home!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
It looks as though those wererats are finally beginning to break.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
And their timing is inspired. That's the Temple of Gond straight ahead.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Right, what was this before... got it! Get ready for the mechanical sparrow!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
It's some sort of construct. And it is not coming to aid us! Defend, Champions! Defend!
30 Defeat the Mechanical Sparrow The wererats are on the run -- but the appearance of this bizarre construct threatens to upend this fight!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
That must be the priest on duty. Good day to you.
Icon Portrait Valette
Valetta:
And to you, friend. What brings you to Gond's house this day?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We seek information. You've heard of today's events in Trollskull Alley? We're looking for...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I'll take this, Celeste. I think it's time to mix things up a bit. Valetta, we thought whoever set off the fireball was headed this way. But now that we've looked around, perhaps they took another route?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Jarlaxle? How did you know her name? And what have you seen that...?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Celeste, I think it's time we visit the Blackstaff.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
An excellent idea!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yes, I thought you'd like that. Time to clear out, everyone!
31 Defeat 25 Monsters The Temple of Gond is a marvelous place -- full of marvelous defenses, all marvelously trying to maim you!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well! It looks like the petting zoo let out early. If this were a dream, it would be hard to keep things straight with everything happening so quickly. So let's move even more quickly! Onward to Blackstaff Tower!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Indeed. Blackstaff Tower holds the information we must have. Hurry, Champions!
32 Defeat 25 Monsters Mechanical guards join the awakened objects pressing you. No, not mechanical guards. Rabbits! This is totally fine!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
It looks like we've got some stuff to collect. Mechanical boars. What a day!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Jarlaxle? What is going on here? I feel uneasy...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
It's all right, Celeste. Just focus on me. Champions, if you've ever trusted me before, then trust me now. All right, just trust me now. There are mechanical bits to collect from these boars! Hurry, now!
33 Collect 25 Mechanical Pieces These wild boars have mechanical workings! It all makes sense! Grab these pieces up, and quickly!
34 Defeat 25 Monsters These wild boars have always roamed Waterdeep! Time to deal with their threat!
35 Defeat the Gnoll Leader This gnoll leader has long directed the threats arrayed against the city! You remember it! Now take this warlord down!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well, those boars will think twice about attacking the city again. And now that we've dealt with that gnoll, we can continue our quest! Look sharp, everyone! No telling what's coming up next...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We are on our way. Which route is optimal to Blackstaff Tower again?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No worries, brother. It's just down this way.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Brother? Jarlaxle are you...?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Showing my true feelings for my dearest friend? Indeed, Celeste. Just keep focusing.
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
You are such a natural leader, Jarlaxle. You should lead more. And speak less.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yes ma'am...
36 Defeat 25 Monsters Castle Ward is your next destination -- but the wererats you trounced earlier are anxious for a rematch. Not the boars. The boars are gone. Quickly now!
37 Defeat 25 Monsters Those thieves whose looting you shut down earlier are creeping back into action. Or are these different thieves...? No matter! Fight!
38 Collect 25 Sea Gull Feathers A swarm of gulls seem intent on leading you to the castle. Clip their wings to say thank you! That's the way!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
These birds are so plentiful. I wish I had a... steak?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Makes perfect sense. Carry on, chaos. Carry on...
Icon Portrait RenaerNeverember
Renaer:
Well met, friends! You're headed to Blackstaff tower I see?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yes, Renaer. Feel free to lead the way.
Icon Portrait RenaerNeverember
Renaer:
Oh, I would never assume leadership of the Champions, sir. Please. After you.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Got it. You're one of them. Ah, more company. Friends of yours, Renaer?
Icon Portrait RenaerNeverember
Renaer:

Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Indeed I do. Everyone move!
39 Defeat 25 Monsters Now these thieves have come back to give you an armed escort! Thank them as well!
Icon Portrait OverambitionsGriffonRider
Overambitious Griffon Rider:
Aha! I thought I recognized you scofflaws. I recall facing you more than once in my street patrol days.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh, perfect. Of all the deja to not be able to avoid vuing.
Icon Portrait OverambitionsGriffonRider
Overambitious Griffon Rider:
And I am here to disrupt your plot to kidnap Renaer Neverember! Seems the lad is a constant target for that sort of thing!
Icon Portrait RenaerNeverember
Renaer:
No, you misunderstand. I'm...
Icon Portrait OverambitionsGriffonRider
Overambitious Griffon Rider:
Under the influence of foul enchantments? Aye, I can...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh, come on! Let's move this along. Like it wasn't nearly frustrating enough the first time...
40 Defeat the Griffon Rider This overambitious Griffon Cavalry rider seems familiar... too familiar. But don't think about it too much... just keep fighting. Keep fighting...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
If I never see that fool again, it'll be far too soon.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Why is that, friend?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Because he's always bothering us, brother! Surely you remember?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Yes. I remember.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
I can see Blackstaff tower in the distance. I can lead from here.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Fine with me.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Something's wrong. Jarlaxle, I know you sense it too. Please...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Nope. Everything looks completely normal to me! It's just been a long day. I think our brains are playing tricks on us.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Ha! You are suffering from long day, perhaps. But Minsc and Boo show that we have no brains to trick!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
... No, still too easy.
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
What is tricking your brain, Jarlaxle? Share it with me?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
What? I'm with Minsc. No brains here! Let's keep moving!
41 Defeat 25 Monsters The Cassalanter estate will be easy to find. And with this swarm of gulls leading the way, you'll be there in no time!
42 Defeat 25 Monsters Enemy gulls are on the move! They mean to attack your gull allies! But how can you tell friend from foe? Best be safe and clear them all out!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
The indignity of having to scrape seagull poop off my cloak is one bit of this scenario I would have been happy to avoid. Please tell me that isn't more gulls coming in.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Watch yourselves! Do you see them coming?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh, why not. Let's say... gargoyles! Look, there they are!
43 Collect 25 Animated Stone Pieces The aerial assault continues! You'll need to destroy these gargoyles in order to build more gargoyles to defend the city! Recycle these bits of animated stone, and quickly!
44 Defeat 25 Monsters Look at all the gargoyles you've created! But are they up to the task of defending Waterdeep? Time to test them in combat!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Right, let me think. Ah, yes. Galeb Duhr, coming up!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
A galeb duhr in the city? This is most strange.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Not the strangest thing we've seen today. And I wouldn't place any bets on how strange it's going to get before we're done...
45 Defeat the Galeb Duhr A galeb duhr stops by to criticize your elemental crafting! Show this creature how much pride you take in your work!
Icon Arkhan
Arkhan:
Should we not have arrived at Blackstaff Tower by now? Why do I feel like we've been walking in circles?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Because we have been. Right, we're getting close. This will need some time to set up. Champions, listen! I know something about the Blackstaff. Something secret. And I've been biding my time till I could reveal it all.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Tell me more, friend. This secret must be known.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Soon, brother. Once we arrive at the tower, I'll tell you everything I know.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Quickly, everyone. We have to hurry, before I run out of time.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
What time is this, friend? Are you expecting something?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No, Bruenor. I just need time to enact my daring plan to reveal the secrets of the Blackstaff.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well, then, I would suggest that you tell us what you know. We can work on a plan together, brother...
Icon Arkhan
Arkhan:
Hey! I knew something was wrong with the dwarf. Since when does he talk --
Icon Arkhan
Arkhan:
We should work together, brother. Jarlaxle, tell us your plan.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Damn again. No time to talk! Onward! Into drow, apparently!
46 Defeat 25 Monsters Waterdeep's long enmity with the drow is well known! You remember it! To arms!
47 Defeat 25 Monsters Drow, drow, drow everywhere. Perhaps one of them knows the way to Blackstaff tower?
48 Collect 25 Symbols of Asmodeus A flight of gargoyles approaches, lending aid to their drow allies! Claim the tokens of their dark master, Asmodeus! Yes, gargoyles serve Asmodeus! No time to think about it!
49 Defeat 25 Monsters The seagulls you thanked earlier are back to thank you! The drow are gone! Take these gargoyles down!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Gargoyles gone. Seagulls regrouping. I wonder what else is next...?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Oh, gods... Someone awoke the walking statues. Look out!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Ah, well played. Come on, Champions! The biggest threats in Waterdeep have come out to play!
50 Defeat the Walking Statue The defenders of Waterdeep have been corrupted! They must all fall! The Walking Statues, that is! That's what this is all about!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That's done it. We've showed off everything we know about defending the city. Quickly, Champions. Listen closely, because I'm pretty sure I'll only have one chance to do this. The Blackstaff is not what she seems.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
What do you mean, Jarlaxle? What have you heard? Is Vajra under someone else's control?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
More of a disguise, Celeste. We're not where we think we are. The Blackstaff is trying to control our actions. Because she's actually a creature from another realm.
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
This sounds foolish to me, Jarlaxle.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
And to me. You should desist from such stories.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh, I'll tell you a story. We're in some kind of illusion, built from our own memories. We're under the control of Extremiton, and I remember --
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Jarlaxle? What...?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
We should probably go inside now. Come, Celeste. It's time...
