Escort to Waterdeep | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
It's finally time to make your way to Waterdeep to meet Drizzt. | ||||||
Area | Goal | Quests & Cinematics | ||||
Celeste: |
It is good to finally be on the road to Waterdeep. I'm anxious to meet your friend Drizzt. I've heard much. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Aye! Bet he figures we be dissolving in a gelatinous cube in some moldy dungeon! Ha! | |||||
Celeste: |
Are you not concerned he might be worried? | |||||
Bruenor: |
Bah! He'll understand we had ta help where we could. He woulda done the same. | |||||
1 | Defeat 25 Monsters | You're only a few miles south of the Wayside Inn when you are greeted unceremoniously by bandits! | ||||
Injured Caravan Guard: |
Help us! They came out of nowhere! | |||||
2 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Defend the injured caravan guard. | ||||
3 | Collect 25 Swords | Some of the caravan guards have lost their weapons during the first attack. Find replacements. | ||||
4 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Help the caravan guards fend off more bandits! | ||||
5 | Defeat the Raiding Bandit Boss | Maybe they will let up if you defeat their leader! Kill the bandit captain! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Where does he think he be goin'? Come back so I can polish me axe with yer blood! | |||||
6 | Collect 25 Stolen Goods | The bandits have taken whatever they could get their hands on from the caravan. Get it back! | ||||
Celeste: |
Give the wounded some space! | |||||
7 | Collect 25 Medical Supplies | Many members of the caravan are injured. Collect medical supplies. | ||||
8 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Clear out more bandits so the wounded can be tended to. | ||||
9 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Where are all of these bandits coming from? | ||||
10 | Defeat the Raiding Bandit Boss | The captain is back. Don't let him escape this time! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Gotcha! I don't like it when they run. | |||||
Caravan Leader: |
I thought we were dead for sure! | |||||
Bruenor: |
Lucky for you we just happen to come along. You can show some thanks with some of tha' ale I see there. Dwarven, I wager. | |||||
Caravan Leader: |
Thank you so very much. If I could call on you once more? | |||||
Bruenor: |
Let me guess, ye be looking fer an escort. | |||||
Caravan Leader: |
To Waterdeep. We can't pay much, but can offer ale and hot food. | |||||
Bruenor: |
We be headed tha' way besides. Ale, food, and a bit o' coin should do nicely. | |||||
11 | Defeat 25 Monsters | You have agreed to escort the caravan to Waterdeep. Clear the road ahead. | ||||
12 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The wolves in this area are deadly, continue to clear the way for the caravan. | ||||
13 | Collect 25 Wolf Pelts | The caravan can get a good price on wolf pelts. Might as well collect some. | ||||
14 | Defeat 25 Monsters | You continue to travel south. The road continues to be dangerous as you get closer to the Mere of Dead Men. | ||||
15 | Defeat the Alpha Wolf | Looks like the wolf alpha isn't going to let you leave her territory after killing so many of the pack. | ||||
Bruenor: |
These roads be more dangerous than last I knew. | |||||
Caravan Leader: |
We are getting close to the Mere of Dead Men. The swamp is a source of countless horrors. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Worry not. No simple swamp creature could hope to best me. | |||||
Celeste: |
Don't forget about the rest of us... | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Fine, I suppose you can help too. | |||||
16 | Defeat 25 Monsters | So far the Mere of Dead Men is proving to be a source of frogs. Very, very big frogs. | ||||
17 | Defeat 25 Monsters | You continue along the swamp road, a thick mist obscures your vision. | ||||
18 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The only thing that would make this road worse would be if it started to rain. | ||||
19 | Collect 25 Firewood | You are going to need to camp soon, regardless of the danger. Gather firewood. | ||||
20 | Defeat the Warty Giant Frog | Without warning you walk right into a peculiar giant frog blocking the path. It doesn't seem happy. In fact, it seems hungry. | ||||
Caravan Leader: |
It's getting too dark. We're going to need to set up camp. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Aye, judgin' by tha day, it could be a rough night. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Bloody glowing menaces! | |||||
Celeste: |
Careful! These creatures will lure you off to your death! Everyone stay together! | |||||
21 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Will-o'-wisps are no joke. Defend the camp before someone is lured away. | ||||
22 | Collect 25 Will-o'-wisps | These will-o'-wisps are certainly of interest to someone in Waterdeep. Capture some for study. | ||||
Nayeli: |
What is that horrible sound?! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
They're called gibbering mouthers, they are horrible, and they need to die. | |||||
23 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The attacking will-o'-wisps are joined by the sound of Gibbering Mouthers! | ||||
24 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Careful where you step! That is if you value your leg. | ||||
25 | Defeat the Gibbering Mouther | A large Gibbering Mouther emerges from the muck. Defend the camp! Kill it! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Didja git' a look at tha' one? That was digustin'! *hurk* | |||||
Celeste: |
Let's just get out of the swamp before something else shows up. | |||||
Nayeli: |
Ah, fresh mountain air! | |||||
Caravan Leader: |
The mountains do feel safer than the swamp. | |||||
26 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The High Road leads south away from the swamp, but the Sword Mountains offers their own dangers. | ||||
27 | Defeat 25 Monsters | You carry on ahead of the caravan clearing the winding mountain road. | ||||
28 | Defeat 25 Monsters | You continue south clearing a surprising amount of wildlife as you go. | ||||
29 | Collect 25 Fresh Meat | The caravan is running low on provisions. Some fresh meat would go a long way. | ||||
30 | Defeat the Bosses | It was only a matter of time before you came across something bigger than the average bear. | ||||
Bruenor: |
Do ye think they were friends? | |||||
31 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The mountain road narrows here, be on the lookout. | ||||
Caravan Leader: |
The gnolls have made off with our ale! | |||||
Bruenor: |
That will not stand! | |||||
32 | Defeat 25 Monsters | After the gnolls! They've stolen the ale! | ||||
33 | Collect 25 Kegs of Ale | You have found the gnoll camp. Time to take back what's yours! Well, the caravan's, but you're going to have some. | ||||
34 | Defeat 25 Monsters | With the ale recovered, it's time to fight your way back out of the camp. | ||||
35 | Defeat the Gnoll Leader | Seems the gnoll leader was looking forward to a good dwarven ale. Give him a good dwarven axe instead. | ||||
Bruenor: |
Keep yer grubby paws off our ale! | |||||
Caravan Guard: |
Undead! We're under attack! | |||||
36 | Defeat 25 Monsters | At least camping in the mountains means nothing from the swamp. | ||||
37 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Where did these skeletons come from?! | ||||
38 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Continue to drive back the undead forces. | ||||
39 | Collect 25 Dry Bones | The camp fires have burned low. Might as well use the skeletons. | ||||
40 | Defeat the Armored Skeleton | The skeletons are thinning out! Take down the big one! | ||||
Nayeli: |
No bones about it. That was a big skeleton! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Please stop. | |||||
Caravan Leader: |
We're almost there. We should make Waterdeep by night fall! | |||||
41 | Defeat 25 Monsters | A new day has dawned. Seems these bandits are early risers. | ||||
Nayeli: |
The bandits get more clever the closer you get to the city. | |||||
42 | None | The bandits have erected a blockade! Tear it down. | ||||
43 | None | One blockade is never enough is it. If you can destroy one, you can destroy two. | ||||
44 | None | The bandits just don't know when to quit! Show them what you think of their efforts. | ||||
45 | Defeat the Bandit Captain | Behind all the blockades you see the Bandit Captain. Forward! | ||||
Nayeli: |
Looks like he had some kind of orders on him. It seems as though he was being paid to stop the caravan. | |||||
Caravan Leader: |
I have no idea why, we are just merchant suppliers! | |||||
Celeste: |
Well someone is certainly interested... | |||||
Caravan Leader: |
We need to keep moving. We're almost there! | |||||
Celeste: |
The undead. We must put them to their rest before we can take ours. | |||||
46 | Collect 25 Filled Waterskins | All this blockade smashing has made you thirsty. Collect some water. | ||||
47 | Defeat 25 Monsters | More undead? They must be coming from somewhere! | ||||
48 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The only thing worse than giant spiders is giant undead spiders! | ||||
49 | Defeat 25 Monsters | You can see Waterdeep in the distance, you need only to keep pushing through. | ||||
Red Wizard Agent: |
If you want something done right... Hand over the artifact! | |||||
Bruenor: |
Does anyone know what this damn fool is takin' about? | |||||
Nayeli: |
I might have an idea. | |||||
50 | Defeat the Red Wizard Agent | A Thayan Red Wizard! He must have created all of the undead. | ||||
Bruenor: |
Now, what was he on about. Something about an artifact? | |||||
Caravan Leader: |
We *may* have something of value being transported to the scholars in Waterdeep. | |||||
Bruenor: |
May? | |||||
Caravan Leader: |
Well we do, but secrecy was of the utmost importance. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Why a damned Red Wizard might be wantin' ta kill us seems bloody important ta me! | |||||
Celeste: |
Calm down Bruenor, the wizard is dead and we have made it to Waterdeep... nothing we can do now. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Fine! But I'm going to find me a tavern with some dwarven ale. | |||||
