Downfall
Learn the lay of the land in Downfall, as you maneuver your way through their courtly ways.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Celeste:	"Okay that ridiculous armor is off, and the brigands are scattered, so let's make for Downfall. We need to find Bavlorna and take her down before we can head for Thither. Everyone, circle around Nat so she doesn't get hurt and teleport away under Zybilna's protection like Squiddly and Jenks did."
Nat:	"[signs] I'm not a baby! I haven't gotten hit once!"
Minsc:	"Let's rethink the lack of armor. Maybe just one breastplate and two sets of bracers this time."
Celeste:	"Minsc, I appreciate that armoring her in... several brigands' worth of gear is one way to make certain she isn't struck and sent away by Zybilna's magic. But she can't move in it. And Nat, I appreciate that you've managed not to get hurt so far. But this is what we do! We're protectors."
Nat:	"[signs] The brigands are all gone! What's going to get me?"
Bruenor:	"Look out! Giant frogs! Get behind me lass!"
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		Nature returns to the Brigands' Tollway -- which means giant frogs and marsh gas bubbles!
Nat:	"[signs] Giant frogs? I can handle giant frogs. When my crocodile hatches, I'll FEED her giant frogs."
Celeste:	"What was that? I missed a sign there. Is that...laughing? If your laughing...egg?"
Nat:	"[signs] Nothing! It's a joke! Let's keep going!"
Minsc:	"Not until you put on this helmet."
Celeste:	"Minsc, put it down."
2	Defeat 25 Stilt Walkers		Those stilt walkers are back, trying to keep you away from their bounty! Fight your way to the path!
Minsc:	"Nat! What are you doing with the crocodile eggs?"
Nat:	"[signs] Getting more. Maybe I need a crocodile army. Then nobody could treat me like a baby."
Minsc:	"That... is not false. But, Nat, we are all on the same side. We don't want you to be harmed and snatched away by magic and neither do you."
Nat:	"[signs] I have room for a couple dozen more eggs in my pockets And they're just lying there."
3	Collect 25 Crocodile Eggs		Maybe Nat has a point? Well, she's picking up eggs anyway -- rescue those crocodile eggs!
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		Now the stilt walkers AND the crocodiles are angry! Defend yourselves!
5	Defeat the Shambling Mound		A shambling mound rises out of the swamp, ready to envelop you in its rotting vines!
Minsc:	"Nat, you can barely move with all those eggs in your pockets. And if you get hit, that's going to break them! Then you won't have your army, you'll be a mess, and Celeste will find out!"
Boo:	"Squeak!"
Minsc:	"Yes! Let's bury them. Like a nest, right here where the shambling mound came out. We can come back for them when we leave Downfall."
Nat:	"[signs] Fine, I guess. But we're coming back!"
Bruenor:	"So, this is Downfall? 'Tis...indeed a mudhole as Jingle-Jangle said. Mud and fog and tilty huts and -- more giant frogs!"
Nayeli:	"Forget the frogs! There's bullywugs attacking."
Jarlaxle:	"Dare I say...rather fashionable bullywugs? I didn't know that was possible."
Nayeli:	"Who cares about their clothes? We're under attack!"
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		The marsh gas and giant frogs have followed you in from the swamp! Fight your way through!
Illig:	"I say! That's some skill you have there! Quite the bunch of fighters! And you've decimated the Duke of Bogwallop's forces, quite handily. I thank you for that."
Bruenor:	"Aye, yer welcome, er..."
Illig:	"I am Illig, Baron of Muckstamp. Declare your allegiance!"
Bruenor:	"Declare me what?"
Illig:	"Oh ho! So, it's a duel you want? Then it's a duel you shall have! En garde!"
Jarlaxle:	"It's not a duel if it's all of you against all of us."
Illig:	"You won't talk like that when I'M the king! Which will be soon enough. But I don't mind practicing on you!"
7	Defeat 25 Bullywug Knights		Illig's knights want to start a fight! You'll have to finish it!
Celeste:	"These bullywugs aren't making any sense! And look, there's more on the way! Let's duck inside this building and regroup."
Bruenor:	"What is this place?"
Jarlaxle:	"It looks like they're making balloons. Like the one that Sir Talavar commandeered."
Celeste:	"Oh! That pixie said we'd need to fly over the borders. One of these could be our way out of Hither. Except for the fact this whole place is burning down."
Bullywug Technician:	"HELP! HELP! The fire! My livelihood! HELP!"
8	Collect 25 Buckets		The fire is spreading! Grab those buckets of water to put it out!
9	Defeat 25 Animated Coals		Animated coals are running all around the balloon factory, spreading the flames! Stomp them out!
10	Defeat the Animated Coal Golem		The coals have combined into a huge coal golem! Put out its fire before it burns the whole place down!
Bullywug Technician:	"Thank you for your help, strangers. Say, did I hear Baron Illig shouting out there? It's technically my break for highsunfeast but I don't really want to get into it with him."
Celeste:	"What WAS he talking about? Declaring allegiances? Becoming the king?"
Bullywug Technician:	"No. Nuh-uh. I said I don't want to get into it. The royal succession is just a bad thing to get mixed up in. If you want to talk about that, you can go visit the chattering heads. Keep me out of it!"
Celeste:	"What do you suppose 'the chattering heads' are? I wonder if we should ask -- Ah!"
Tublaple X:	"I say, there's no need to shout!"
Berooga XXI:	"Indeed, it's quite rude as well, if you ask me. Shouting in the faces of Downfall's sovereign rulers."
Molubb XVI:	"You're not the sovereign ruler! Not since I stabbed you in the eye!"
Berooga XXI:	"Oh ho ho, His Royal Majesty, King Got-It-in-His-Own-Eye-Thank-You-King-Gullop-the-Twenty-First."
Tublaple X:	"Young lady, you ought to keep your wits about you. One of the factions is headed this way, and those knights are spoiling for a fight."
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		Those bullywug knights are back and ready to rumble! Put them in the lake!
Celeste:	"So you were all queens and kings of Downfall?"
Tublaple X:	"Oh yes. I was Queen Tublaple the Tenth. Until I was assassinated --"
Berooga XXI:	"By me! Got her when she was dancing at a ball. I twirled and 'accidentally' hit her in the eye with a dagger! Heehee! Then I was Queen Berooga the Twenty-First --"
Molubb XVI:	"Until a tragic accident where she was looking through a spyglass, but I handed her a fork instead, and stabbed her through the eye. Then I was King Molubb the Sixteenth!"
Berooga XXI:	"And then King Gullop the Nineteenth struck! Heehee! Gullop stabbed him in the eye AND boiled him in oil! Points for style on that one, I say."
Jarlaxle:	"So your system of government is just whoever can stick the monarch in the eye gets to rule? That's...well, actually, I guess it's a simpler version of Menzobarranzan's way of doing things, so I withdraw my comment. Although if any of you have the authority to tell these knights to back off, I still recognize it!"
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		The heads of the dead royals have more to tell you, but first you have to deal with this distraction!
Tublaple X:	"My, my, you're an active bunch. Those knights have it cut out for them! Maybe Gullop will last little longer if he gets you on his side."
Celeste:	"Is Gullop on Bavlorna's side? Would he stand against the hags?"
Berooga XXI:	"Stand against Bavlorna? HAHAHAHAHA! That's hysterical! Ah! I haven't laughed so hard since Molubb got sent here."
Molubb XVI:	"Look around you, Champions. Bavlorna's made this place what it is. Besides, her eyes are everywhere -- how you think you'll manage to dethrone her when the lornlings are taking notes on your presence even now."
Celeste:	"Lornlings! Quick! Grab those notepads!"
13	Collect 25 Lornling Notepads		Don't let those lornlings get away with their notes! See what they're writing about you!
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		More knights! Don't these bullywugs have coups to plan? Send them on their way!
15	Defeat the Bullywug Captain		Uh-oh, that captain seems more capable than their underlings! Defeat them so you can pass!
Berooga XXI:	"Look, no one's going to say we bullywugs are a loyal lot -- loyalty's just a good way to get surprised by a knife in the eye!"
Molubb XVI:	"But nobody in this town is going to help you defeat Bavlorna."
Tublaple X:	"Well... nobody of quality. Who knows what riffraff you're going to meet?"
Celeste:	"This notepad says, 'don't trust Gullop.' The lornlings want Bavlorna to turn on the king?"
Jarlaxle:	"Sounds like the guy we want to turn to our side."
Tublaple X:	"As I said, riffraff."
16	Defeat 25 Giant Frogs		Giant frogs have overrun the path! Take them out so you can pass!
Celeste:	"We need to move carefully here. If there's a coup brewing, we don't want to draw the wrong attention."
Nat:	"[signs] Look! There's a creepy house in the middle of the lake! In those mists!"
Bruenor:	"That must be where Bavlorna lives! But how're we gonna get out there? These waters are teemin' with crocodiles and worse. And those bullywug heads made it sound like we're nae likely ta get a hand from their former subjects."
Celeste:	"Only the riffraff. So, we just need to find some riffraff."
Morgort:	"You there! Stop!"
Morgort:	"Where did you get that dagger?"
Nat:	"[signs] Does she mean my sword?"
Morgort:	"Where is he? Where is Sir Talavar? What have you done with him?"
Celeste:	"Hold, Saer Bullywug. The blade was a gift for assisting Sir Talavar. I take it you were friends? Are you the one who helped him escape?"
Morgort:	"...Perhaps. Who's asking?"
Celeste:	"Allies, I think. His balloon crashed, but we helped him get away to the Summer Court. But if you helped Sir Talavar, does that mean you're one of the bullywugs standing against Bavlorna? If so -- ugh, one moment, I can't think with all these flies and frogs."
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		The giant flies feed the giant frogs -- and both of them want to take a bite out of you first! Cut them down!
Morgort:	"If you're looking for rebels against Bavlorna, look elsewhere. It's too dangerous right now. No one will be willing to help you. MAYBE if the Summer Queen sends reserves --"
Bruenor:	"What about tha king? From tha sound o' her spies notes, his head's next fer tha row."
Morgort:	"That's being a monarch in Downfall with Bavlorna in charge. Gullop knows what he signed up for when he took out Molubb."
Jarlaxle:	"But maybe if he had a small army of champions? Maybe if we softened him up with a bribe? Maybe some delicious frog legs?"
18	Collect 25 Giant Frog Legs		Those giant frog legs would make a tasty treat for the king. Don't leave them behind!
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		You'll never get to the palace if you can't clear out these giant flies and giant frogs!
20	Defeat the Warty Giant Frog		Well, you THOUGHT those were giant frogs...this giant frog is even bigger! Let's hope it falls harder!
Morgort:	"Your plan is ludicrous. Even if you can get the king to side with you, he's only useful until he's assassinated."
Celeste:	"Well, maybe if we can take out Bavlorna, he WON'T get assassinated. It sounds like the hag's presence is affecting all of you."
Morgort:	"I don't disagree. But the bigger issue is that you won't get a chance to make your case -- if you go to the king, you'll get thrown in the holding cells. You're better off waiting for the Summer Court to come. If they come..."
Nayeli:	"That's not an option for us. We need to restore Prismeer, rescue our friends, and get home. If you're not going to stand with us Morgort, then I hope at least you stay out of our way."
Morgort:	"I'll come visit when you're in jail. Don't let the rats bite."
Jarlaxle:	"There's something very strange about a building made of mud with this much decoration to it. And this many flies!"
Celeste:	"Look there's the king!"
Bruenor:	"What in tha name o' Moradin's hairy rump is on his lap?"
Crocodile Hatchling Pet:	"[wheezes]"
Nat:	"[signs] Minsc! What happened to it? Do you think he kept it in his pocket? Is that what my crocodile is going to look like?"
Gullop XIX:	"You there! What are you doing letting in all those beastly flies? We command you to exterminate them at once!"
21	Defeat 25 Giant Flies		Giant flies fill the palace. Did they follow you in? Help clear the air.
Celeste:	"Your majesty, we come with grave news. The lornlings --"
Gullop XIX:	"What about them? And who are you, you strange, hairy creatures? Barging into our palace and making demands!"
Jarlaxle:	"We haven't demanded anything. You're the only one making demands."
Gullop XIX:	"That's right! Because WE are the sovereign monarch of all of Downfall. Except that bit in the middle that we don't need to discuss. And we DEMAND you kill these flies you so callously let into our domain and sanctuary! They're upsetting Ambassador Squelch."
Jarlaxle:	"Is Ambassador Squelch that...crocodile? It's a crocodile, right?"
Gullop XIX:	"Marsh-Mallow is a purebred Short-Snout Weedyback Miniature Crocodile, thank you very much, and he loves flies -- don't you, snookums? Ambassador Squelch is the giant toad who eats people we find annoying. But when he's anxious, he just swallows whoever's close. So not another word until the flies are gone!"
22	Defeat 25 Giant Flies		There's a lot more flies in here than could have come in the door. Still, the king would like some help swatting them!
Illig:	"Your Majesty, I -- Halt! Ruffians!"
Gullop XIX:	"Leave them be, Illig. They're not finished with their job yet. What do you want?"
Jarlaxle:	"Hold up, our job is not to clear out flies. I mean, INCIDENTALLY it is sometimes but --"
Gullop XIX:	"Silence! And sweep up those fly wings for Marsh-Mallow. He likes the crunch."
Marsh-Mallow:	"[wheezes]"
23	Collect 25 Giant Fly Wings		Does he think you're exterminators? He might think you're exterminators. But those fly wings would be a nice treat for the little crocodile?
Gullop XIX:	"What can our most majestic and humble self do for you, Illig?"
Illig:	"Oh Your Majesty, it's not what you can do for me, it's what I can do for you! I've brought you this delicious slice of pie! Here, let me offer you some!"
Celeste:	"He's got a fork!"
Illig:	"OOPS, I TRIPPED! Ha ha! Assassinated!"
Gullop XIX:	"Urk!"
Illig:	"Ha ha! The king is dead! Long live the king! Illig the First! I'm number one! I'm number one! And your number is UP, Champions! You didn't swear allegiance when you had the chance!"
24	Defeat 25 Bullywug Knights		It's a coup! And you're in the middle of it! Fight the bullywug knights!
Celeste:	"We need to get out of here! There's too many knights and all this fighting is only going to get Bavlorna's attention."
Jarlaxle:	"There's an exit!"
Minsc:	"Ambassador Squelch is in the way!"
Bruenor:	"Aye and that giant toad looks hoppin' mad its king was eaten!"
25	Defeat the Giant Toad		The king's giant toad is loose! And it's hungry! Don't let it get you!
Illig:	"That's enough! By order of the king -- that's me, by the way. I mean US. That's us. We're the king now. Ooh that feels good to say. By our order, you are under arrest! Throw them in the holding cells! For treason!"
Celeste:	"Well, Morgort wasn't wrong about the rats."
Morgort:	"Of course I wasn't! I wasn't wrong about you getting thrown in the cells, either -- although I will accept that I was wrong about WHO threw you in...Look, things weren't this bad before Bavlorna. Does the offer stand to help you?"
Celeste:	"Of course! What changed your mind?"
Morgort:	"Well, you pushing back Ambassador Squelch did some good. I hate that thing. And...well, you're right, nothing's going to change unless someone steps up. Also, Illig is an idiot and it's probably easiest to do this while he's in charge. But I'm going to need my weapon. And we're going to need a distraction."
Bruenor:	"Speakin' o' distractions, can we get rid o' some o' these rats first!"
26	Defeat 25 Giant Rats		These holding cells are full of rats! Clear out the vermin!
Morgort:	"You need something big enough to draw all the bullywugs' attention while you make for Bavlorna's cottage."
Jarlaxle:	"We could set a fire."
Morgort:	"No, things catch on fire here all the time. Which you wouldn't expect, given how wet everything is, but we're really pretty lax about safety."
Minsc:	"We could release many crocodiles into the palace!"
Morgort:	"I mean, that would work for a bit, but there's crocodiles everywhere here...I mean they're literally coming in the door."
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		Crocodiles think those rats look tasty -- but not as tasty as you!
Nat:	"[signs] Minsc, what if we hatched all the eggs, got a balloon and dropped baby crocodiles from the sky? The bullywugs love them. They'd go wild for it! But also, somehow, Celeste doesn't find out about MY egg. That's my plan."
Morgort:	"What's she saying?"
Minsc:	"Uhhhh...suppose SOMEONE had a large quantity of crocodile eggs, we could use magic to hatch them and then take a balloon and drop them from the sky. A rain of crocodile hatchlings. In tiny parachutes."
Celeste:	"WHAT?"
Morgort:	"That! That is a good idea. I like this kid. You're a thinker."
Nat:	"[signs] Thank you!"
Morgort:	"All right, first things first, we have to get you out of here. Which means we need the keys."
Bruenor:	"Some o' this junk they left behind, banged on tha bars might make them come quick!"
28	Collect 25 Forks		If you can make a racket, you can get the guards attention! Some fistfuls of silverware should do it!
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		More crocodiles have broken into the cells! Turns out bullywugs aren't great at building jails!
Morgort:	"There's a balloon anchored on the edge of town. The one pulled by a stormcloud. It's a shop run by darklings, Trinket, Bauble, and Charm's. I traded my sword for fuel for Sir Talavar's balloon. If we can get it back, we might be able to convince them to let us use their balloon to carry out our plan."
Celeste:	"And...our plan is to drop baby crocodiles in parachutes on Downfall."
Nat:	"[signs] The best plan!"
Minsc:	"These people do seem to be very invested in their crocodile pets."
Morgort:	"They will go wild for new baby crocodiles. And if the baby crocodiles bite them in the process, even better distraction!"
Celeste:	"All right, it sounds like we're doing this."
Minsc:	"We just have to get past that guard captain on his very large crocodile, blocking the door!"
30	Defeat the Bullywug Riding a Crocodile		You have the attention of that bullywug on a crocodile! Time to fight your way past!
Nat:	"[signs] That's all the eggs. They're getting very wriggly! I think they're about to hatch."
Gromma:	"A little nature magic might speed them along."
Celeste:	"Not too fast! We still have to get to the balloon! And there are a lot of crocodiles between here and there."
31	Defeat 25 Crocodiles		Crocodiles attack as you hurry toward the darklings' balloon! Battle past them!
Nat:	"[signs] They're hatching! They're hatching!"
Celeste:	"Minsc, don't drop any of those baby crocodiles! We need every one we can hold onto to cause chaos among the bullywugs."
Jarlaxle:	"Oh no -- more lornlings! And I think they heard you!"
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		Bavlorna's lornlings pop up again! Don't let them get back to their mistress!
Morgort:	"If you throw baby crocodiles from the balloon, all we'll get are dead baby crocodiles. They need parachutes."
Celeste:	"This plan..."
Morgort:	"Is brilliant. Keep that girl close. Seriously -- right at our weakness for having THE most adorable pet. Status is everything in Downfall. I mean you SAW Marsh-Malllow, right?"
Celeste:	"Yes... All right, I don't want to fling baby crocodiles to their deaths. There are some scraps of balloon fabric around this landing pad. We can make parachutes from it."
Jarlaxle:	"Will you stop planning around the lornlings?!"
33	Collect 25 Scraps of Balloon Fabric		The hatchlings will need parachutes -- those scraps of balloon fabric will do great!
34	Defeat 25 Lornlings		If the lornlings report back to Bavlorna what you're doing, the plan's over before it starts!
Trinket:	"Bravo, bravo -- what a display. Such quickness, such strength."
Bauble:	"Wouldn't the Coven like to have such champions."
Nayeli:	"Well, they aren't getting any in us. Are you the proprietors who Morgort sold her weapon to? She wants to buy it back. And we'd like to borrow your vessel."
Trinket:	"You want our balloon? What for? Planning to travel to Thither or Yon?"
Celeste:	"Perhaps. But first we're looking for some local help. Morgort says you're sympathetic to the bullywugs."
Bauble:	"'Sympathetic' -- that's a funny word to choose. You know we work for Endelyn Moongrave, the Witch of Yon? Our sister's having tea with Slack-Jawed Lorna as we speak. Chatting and sipping...maybe sifting through some of her treasures. I don't know about sympathetic, but we might have common interests, if you catch my drift."
Lornling:	"Plotters! Schemers! You darklings and you interlopers! You cannot defeat Bavlorna. Even if you are thinking wily like a Feywild denizen now."
Jarlaxle:	"Wily is not the word I would use."
Nat:	"[signs] Morgort said 'brilliant.'"
Lornling:	"I will take word of your treachery straight to Bavlorna. And then we shall see who suffers!"
Trinket:	"Interesting, interesting."
Bauble:	"What are you going to do, Champions?"
35	Defeat the Lornling Riding a Giant Dragonfly		That lornling on a giant dragonfly will zip right back to the hag if you don't take it down!
Trinket:	"How nicely done. We're quite impressed. Normally, we wouldn't lay odds on anybody trying to thwart Bavlorna...and to be honest, I still wouldn't bet on you winning. But like my sister said, I think we have a common interest in keeping her busy."
Nayeli:	"You think our distraction will let your sister steal from her. You want us to help you rob Bavlorna."
Bauble:	"Does it matter? YOU want to kill her."
Jarlaxle:	"Technically, we want to drop baby crocodiles at the bullywugs and cause a riot."
Bauble:	"Oooooh. Brilliant. I want to see that, even if it doesn't work. Come on in, Champions. Our craft is yours for the moment."
Nat:	"[signs] The crocodiles look so cute in their little parachutes! They're going to have so much fun floating down!"
Celeste:	"Hold onto them! Morgort, where's the best place to release the crocodiles?"
Morgort:	"Close to the palace -- there will be plenty of nobles coming to pay their respects to the new king while sizing up his weaknesses. We're not quite there."
Bruenor:	"Oi, we've got further ta go, but we've got company! Those knights on dragonflies are headin' right fer us!"
36	Defeat 25 Bullywugs Riding Dragonflies		The bullywugs don't know what you're up to -- but they know they don't like it! Take out their flyers!
Trinket:	"Fire! Fire!"
Bauble:	"This was NOT part of the agreement!"
Celeste:	"Put them out quick! They're setting the shop ablaze!"
37	Defeat 25 Animated Coals		Oh no! The bullywugs have flung animated coals into the basket! Stop them before the fire spreads!
38	Clear the Pile of Coals		A pile of coals is burning through the basket! Clear it out quickly!
Celeste:	"Nat! Minsc! Start releasing the crocodile hatchlings!"
Morgort:	"We're not over the palace yet!"
Celeste:	"But we need to distract the flyers too!"
Minsc:	"Off you go! Be brave and snappy!"
Nat:	"[signs] Fly little crocodiles!"
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		The bullywug air assault is tearing up the balloon! Take them down!
Celeste:	"The good news is, the bullywugs are going wild for the baby crocodiles."
Jarlaxle:	"The bad news is the balloon's on fire and we're going to crash."
Bruenor:	"Nae, tha bad news is it's on fire, we're gonna crash, and tha coals've jumped inta one big golem again! And it's comin' this way!"
40	Defeat the Animated Coal Golem		The coals have combined into another golem! Put it out, quickly!
Celeste:	"Everyone hold on tight! We're going down!"
Bruenor:	"Everyone a'right? Nobody's too harmed? Where's Nat?"
Minsc:	"I have her!"
Nat:	"[signs] And nothing in my pockets is broken!"
Bruenor:	"That's... good?"
Celeste:	"All safe, I think, thank Selûne and Tymora's good luck beside."
Illig:	"You scoundrels! You ruffians! Look what you've done to my palace! You'll pay for this! Guards! Guards!"
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		You've crashed into the palace and Illig's fighters surround you! Time to fight!
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		The bullywug knights defend their king ferociously! Stand against them or it's back to the holding cells!
Nat:	"[signs] Oh no! The baby crocodiles! They're running toward the fire! Their little parachutes are flammable!"
Illig:	"Oh no! The adorable baby crocodiles are running into the fire! Catch them before their parachutes ignite!"
Celeste:	"Wait, are we on the same side?"
Illig:	"Most certainly we are not! We're not about to stop fighting while we save these adorable babies!"
43	Collect 25 Crocodile Hatchlings		Oh no! All the crocodile hatchlings are running loose in the fire! Their little parachutes will catch fire!
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		The fires are blazing and the bullywugs fight on! Don't back down!
Nayeli:	"Your knights can't force us back into those cells and your palace is burning down. Lay down your arms and let's discuss how you're going to help us defeat Bavlorna."
Illig:	"Hahahah! You forgot one thing when crafting your clever plan."
Jarlaxle:	"ONE thing? I don't know if you heard the entirety of this plan, but --"
Illig:	"You forgot AMBASSADOR SQUELCH!"
45	Defeat the Giant Toad		The king's toad leaps toward you! And it doesn't care who wears the crown so long as it can eat more people!
Nayeli:	"I SAID, lay down your arms and -- Oh! Nat!"
Illig:	"You are going to lay down YOUR arms, or I'm going to stick your little friend here in the eye. And the hags only know where she'll end up."
Celeste:	"Put her down. We can discuss this."
Morgort:	"No! The time for discussing things with this oaf is over! Illig, I challenge you! Defend your claim to the throne in single combat! Let's take this to the arena!"
Jarlaxle:	"Is anything in this town NOT on fire at this point?"
Illig:	"Here are the rules: One weapon each. No seconds, no assistance -- hear that Champions? You can't help your traitor friend. Battle to the death."
Morgort:	"Ready when you are."
Illig:	"You mean, 'Ready when you are, Your Majesty.'"
Morgort:	"Oh, technically, you don't have to call me that until I win."
Celeste:	"We can't help Morgort, but we can make sure she's not distracted. There are crocodiles coming in all the damaged walls and the fire's getting worse. Let's go, Champions!"
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		The arena is burning all around the duel! But the crocodiles don't care! Protect Morgort!
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		Put out those flames and stop those crocodiles!
Illig:	"What's wrong Morgort? [cough] Getting tired?"
Morgort:	"I haven't [cough] even started."
Celeste:	"The fire's getting worse. Grab those buckets of water and put out what you can!"
48	Collect 25 Buckets		The fires are getting out of hand! Gather water to put them out!
Illig:	"Knights! Psst! Knights! Herd those crocodiles over! And see if we have anything worse!"
Celeste:	"That's cheating!"
Jarlaxle:	"That's not even GOOD cheating! Don't you have snipers or something? Poisoned caltrops? A decent rogue hiding in the shadows who can leap out at an opportune moment?"
Celeste:	"Jarlaxle stop helping!"
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		The king is cheating! Keep Morgort clear of those crocodiles!
Morgort:	"What is that rumbling?"
Jarlaxle:	"...Is that a bullywug driving a chariot pulled by four giant snails?"
Celeste:	"Technically when it's pulled by four abreast, it's a quadriga."
Jarlaxle:	"...That's not really the most noteworthy part of what I said."
Illig:	"Hahaha, oh dear! It must be time for the chariot snails to get their exercise. I do hope your friends aren't run over and consumed slowly!"
Celeste:	"Don't worry about us, Morgort! Keep your focus! We'll handle the snail."
50	Defeat the Giant Snail Quadriga		It's not a duel when there's more than two! Stop that giant snail quadriga and its driver from interfering!
Illig:	"Argh! My eye!"
Morgort:	"By the ancient rites of the bullywugs, I am now Queen Morgort the First! And I declare that Downfall will no longer cower under Bavlorna's rule! Thank you, Champions, for your help."
Jarlaxle:	"This is possibly the silliest coup I've ever been involved in...wait, no. No, I forgot that one in Athkatla. Ah, old times. Never mind. And this one worked! Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Nat:	"[signs] Here. Someone has to take care of him. He's never going to be okay on his own."
Marsh-Mallow:	"[wheezes]"
Morgort:	"As the ancient rites decree -- come here, you big squishy baby. Now, as my first act as sovereign monarch I believe we have a hag to thwart?"
