Foul Play
Survive Xeleth's attack on the Arena and push back his forces with a surprising ally.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Xeleth:	Give yourself up, sister. Come with me, and I'll let your friends live.
Jarlaxle:	She'll never go with you!
Xedalli:	I have to, Jarlaxle.
Jarlaxle:	What? And here I was just thinking you weren't going to betray us.
Xedalli:	[Whispers] I'm not going to betray you. I'm trying to help you.
Xeleth:	Stop wasting my time, sister. The fleet is itching for battle.
Xedalli:	Let me say my goodbyes, brother! You can at least give me that!
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		Creatures have broken out of their pens! Protect Xedalli!
Xeleth:	Enough of this; I'm sending soldiers to take you!
Xedalli:	[Whispers] We don't have much time. I'm going with Xeleth, but only because I believe you will come after me.
Celeste:	The whole of Wildspace couldn't stop us.
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		Stop the Xaryxians from getting to Xedalli!
Xedalli:	[Whispers] Squiddly -- take this. You know how to keep it safe. It's very important, just like you.
Squiddly:	A ring? I'll protect it with my life.
Xedalli:	Just keep it safe. Let the Champions worry about protecting it and you.
Xedalli:	Brother! I will go peacefully!
Xeleth:	A wise choice. Soldiers, seize her.
Xedalli:	Until our next meeting, Champions.
Xeleth:	Good. Now, with that out of the way - destroy the arena and everyone in it.
Xedalli:	You said you would let them live!
Xeleth:	I lied. Soldiers -- wipe them out.
3	Collect 25 Astral Elf Swords		There are too many of them! Get their swords before they can do too much damage!
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		More Xaryxians! Carve a path!
Jarlaxle:	All right, so what is our plan? There are Xaryxians everywhere.
Vin Ursa:	We should get to Vocath. That coward has to have some secret way of getting out of here. We might even get to rough him up a bit.
Celeste:	Aside from the last part, I think that's a good idea. Now to deal with all of these creatures escaping the arena!
5	Defeat the Braxat		Another braxat! Defeat it so you can escape the arena!
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		They're all over the Arena of Blood! Defeat as many Xaryxians as you can!
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		Don't let up! Show them what it means to be a Champion!
8	Defeat 1 Monsters		They're trying to slow you down! Destroy the magic field!
Vin Ursa:	All right -- I'm not going to lie. I know this is a bad situation, and your friend has been kidnapped, but this is FUN! I haven't had this many good fights back to back in... well, I don't really remember!
Jarlaxle:	I'm glad you said it. I've been thinking that same thing for a bit now. Come on Xaryxians! Let's crank this up another notch!
Celeste:	Or don't! You could also choose to NOT do that!
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		The audience chamber is near! Keep fighting!
10	Defeat the B		A b'rohg! Quickly -- defeat it before it brings this hallway down!
Vocath:	Guards! GUARDS! Where are you?! Deal with these creatures!
Vin Ursa:	Oh hey, Vocath, buddy. How are you doing? Did your guards up and leave you when things actually got tough?
Vocath:	No! ...they're just out there defending me, and there weren't enough to stay behind with me. They're very brave! VERY brave!
Vin Ursa:	Sure, sure. We'll clear out these creatures, and then you and I are going to have a little chat.
Jarlaxle:	Did you just speak for us?
Vin Ursa:	Too early for that?
Jarlaxle:	A bit, but I like you so far, so I'll let it slide.
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		Creatures from the arena made their way here! Defeat them!
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		Vocath seems a little shaken up. Maybe getting rid of these creatures will help?
Vin Ursa:	So, how's hiding behind your throne working for you?
Vocath:	So far nothing has seen me. I think I'll just stay here until it's over.
Vin Ursa:	That's probably not the best call considering those Xaryxians are going to blow this place up.
Vocath:	They're going to WHAT?!
13	Collect 25 Space Swine Armor		Maybe you could build some protective armor for Vocath with the space swine armor! Collect as many as you can!
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		Sounds like something big is approaching! Better get rid of these enemies quickly!
15	Defeat the Megapede		Looks like Queen Gorma wasn't alone! Defeat the megapede!
Vin Ursa:	With that out of the way -- why don't you tell us your super secret way of getting out of here.
Vocath:	What are you talking about? I never thought anyone would dare attack the Arena of Blood!
Jarlaxle:	Either you don't have enough enemies, or you're not observant enough.
Vocath:	The only way off of here is via a ship on the docks.
Vin Ursa:	Well... that sucks. How do you all feel about trying to make a daring escape during a spelljammer assault?
Jarlaxle:	Sounds like a Wednesday to me.
Vin Ursa:	A what?
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		Xaryxians with weapons and magic! Carve a path!
Squiddly:	Oh no! It's those blights from back home!
Vin Ursa:	Those are from your planet?
Celeste:	No, they're what's attacking it. Be on your guard, Champions! They're bringing their full force!
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		They've brought astral blights with them!
18	Collect 25 Astral Blight Chunks		Topolah could study those astral blight chunks! Collect as many as you can!
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		You're almost to the docks! Keep fighting!
Celeste:	No! The Jolly is gone!
Jarlaxle:	Probably for the best. That thing wasn't going to stand a chance in battle.
Vocath:	This is it! We're doomed! DOOMED!
Vin Ursa:	Can I start roughing him up yet?
20	Defeat the Astral Blight Alpha		Oh no! The Xaryxians are everywhere! Quick -- defeat the astral blight alpha!
Farideh:	What's that in the distance?
Havilar:	Probably more Xaryxians!
Farideh:	That's not it... they're spelljammers, but not star moths. They look familiar for some reason...
Xanathar:	Champions! Your rescue is here!
Jarlaxle:	I think I've taken too many hits today -- did I just hear the Xanathar say he was here to rescue us?
Xanathar:	You heard the Mighty Xanathar correctly! My fleet and I are here to push back the Xaryxians! Clear that dock, and we'll pick you up.
Celeste:	But aren't you mad that we -- you know what? I'm not going to ask questions right now. Let's clear this dock and get on the Xanathar's ship.
Jarlaxle:	Today has been a weird day.
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		Clear the docks so the... so the Xanathar can rescue you? Be confused later -- fight now!
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		Xaryxians are pouring out of the arena! Get ready for a fight!
23	Collect 25 Astral Arrows		Archers! Get those astral arrows so they can't fire them again!
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		They aren't letting up! Survive for just a bit longer!
Minsc:	The dock is nearly cleared!
Nordom:	Observation: The astral elves have brought a dragon!
Havilar:	YES! I get to fight A DRAGON?! Today is an AWESOME DAY!
25	Defeat the Astral Elf Dragon Rider		They brought a solar dragon! Defeat it so the Xanathar's ship can get closer!
Xanathar:	All aboard the Might Xanathar's ship!
Celeste:	Thank you... Xanathar. That feels weird say...
Xanathar:	My crew is happy to help. Anything to save Toril.
Jarlaxle:	You're trying to save Toril now too? WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		Here's something you never thought you'd read: Protect the Xanathar's ship!
Xanathar:	We should leave now -- this may be our only chance!
Farideh:	No! We have to at least try to stop Xeleth from escaping with Xedalli. Even with what she said, I don't feel right just leaving her with them.
Jarlaxle:	I agree.
Xanathar:	This sounds like a silly idea, but the Mighty Xanathar is new to this 'good' thing, so we'll just go along with it. By the way, a bunch of space clowns followed me here. ...sorry about that.
Jarlaxle:	YOU'RE APOLOGIZING NOW?!
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		Space clowns have made their way into Doomspace! Deal with them!
28	Collect 25 Space Flowers		Those space flowers are bad news in space clown hands! Take them before something bad happens!
Xanathar:	We're close to one of the farthest star moths! Prepare to board!
Jarlaxle:	You know, I never thought I'd say this, but have you ever thought about pirating, Xanathar? I think you might be good at it.
Xanathar:	An option once Toril is safe.
Jarlaxle:	...if you keep talking like that I'm going to start taking psychic damage.
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		All the Xaryxians on the ship are ready for a fight! Give it to them!
Havilar:	No Xedalli here -- quick! Swing to the next star moth!
Vin Ursa:	Weeeeeeeee!
Astral Elf Assassin:	Silly Champions -- looking in vain for the princess. Instead, all you have found is your deaths!
30	Defeat the Astral Elf Assassin		An assassin! Take them out quickly!
Vin Ursa:	Oh no! The other star moths are moving away! They must have figured out what we were doing.
Celeste:	That's a problem -- but let's clear this deck first and then come up with a new plan.
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		The star moths are moving away fast! Defeat these enemies before you make a plan!
Commodore Krux:	Greetings, Champions! Might you need a lift?
Celeste:	Perfect timing! Fel -- get us to those star moths! We'll handle the space clowns!
Space Clown:	HAHA! It was so nice of that beholder to lead us to our next meal!
Havilar:	Funny, I was just thinking it was so nice of the Xanathar to bring some fun for my glaive!
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		Space clowns have made their way to the Second Wind! Defend the ship!
Fel Ardra:	How far are we going? All the way to the front of the fleet?
Celeste:	There's no way of knowing which star moth they're holding Xedalli on. Get us to the closest one, and we'll find a way to get to the others.
Fel Ardra:	Deal!
33	Collect 25 Ray Guns		The space clowns are armed! Get those ray guns before they make too much trouble!
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		Astral elves and space clowns -- lovely! Take them out before you get to the next star moth!
Fel Ardra:	All right -- we're at boarding distance!
Jarlaxle:	Everyone, grab a rope! Here we go!
Space Clown:	Don't worry -- we'll be here when you get back! AHAH!
35	Defeat the Astral Elf Aristocrat		A Xaryxian aristocrat! Defeat them and their solar dragon wyrmlings!
Minsc:	No sight of Xedalli, and Boo says her scent isn't here.
Farideh:	And the other star moths are moving even faster now.
Jarlaxle:	That's going to make boarding them difficult.
Squiddly:	Wait, I have an idea!
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		Squiddly has an idea -- but clown gazers followed you here! Protect Squiddly!
Squiddly:	Our ride is here!
Celeste:	The kindori? Why are they here?
Squiddly:	I can talk to them! Just like Xedalli! I told them she has been captured, and they want to help us look for her.
Jarlaxle:	And when were you going to tell us you could talk to them?
Squiddly:	Mrs. Fox told me not to tell anyone.
Jarlaxle:	Why does that not surprise me?
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		The kindori are speeding towards the next star moth! Defeat these creatures to make the trip easier for them!
Squiddly:	Look! Space eels! Maybe if we get some fillets the kindori will go faster?
Celeste:	Worth a shot!
38	Collect 25 Space Eel Fillets		You know what makes a kindori go faster? Space eel fillets! Collect as many as you can!
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		Clear the ship as fast as you can! You have to find Xedalli!
Minsc:	Still no Xedalli! And there's only one star moth left -- it has to be that one!
Squiddly:	Kindori! We need to get to that last ship! And fast!
Kindori:	Anything for Xedalli.
40	Defeat the Brown Scavver		Protect the kindori as they take you to the last star moth! Defeat the brown scavver!
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		Astral Blights are protecting the star moth! Defeat them so you can search the ship!
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		No Xedalli here -- defeat these enemies so you can move on!
43	Defeat 1 Monsters		They're trying to slow you down! Break the ship debris!
Jarlaxle:	Uh, is it just me or are there way more Xaryxians here than there were a moment ago...?
Celeste:	It's not just you -- they're reinforcements!
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		The full Xaryxian force is here! Defeat them!
Havilar:	Hear that? Sounds like there's something big I can fight -- I mean it sounds like there's something big on the main deck! We should go check it out!
Xeleth:	AHAH! So you really thought you could just steal Xedalli back this easily? I had to come back when I heard you were searching ships -- you're FAR too late! Xedalli is already well out of Doomspace. You've failed, Champions.
Farideh:	You know, if Xedalli were here she would probably tell us not to fight her brother.
Havilar:	Huh, well, she's not here, so...
Nordom:	Conclusion: Let the fight begin!
45	Defeat the Xeleth on a Solar Dragon		Xeleth is here and ready for a fight! Show him what it's like to fight Champions!
Xeleth:	This isn't over! Once I am emperor your world will be the first to burn!
Jarlaxle:	And there he goes -- and we still don't know where Xedalli is.
Celeste:	But we know where she's going to be. She said that Xeleth needed her in order to properly take the role of emperor. They're going back to Xaryxispace.
Farideh:	We should meet up with the rest of the coalition and make a plan.
Commodore Krux:	So this beholder is trustworthy?
Xanathar:	The Mighty Xanathar is very trustworthy!
Jarlaxle:	I'm not going to lie -- he's usually a bad guy, and we've fought him plenty of times, but he's got ships and crew so I can't really argue with him joining the coalition.
Commodore Krux:	And what if he betrays us?
Jarlaxle:	Like I said, we've fought him before. We always win.
Xanathar:	That is a tactical decision!
Jarlaxle:	Sure, Xanathar.
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		The Xaryxians are retreating -- but the space clowns are still looking for a fight! Give it to them!
Celeste:	Vocath, how did the spelljammers fair?
Vocath:	Not good. We lost plenty of ships, but there should still be enough to still help the coalition. Our biggest problem is that they were targeting our pilots. We're currently four short.
Celeste:	Those monsters. They wanted to make sure no one could escape the arena.
Vocath:	So what do we do now?
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		Take care of these space clowns before we need even more spelljammer pilots!
48	Collect 25 Xanathar Symbols		The clown gazers are stealing the Mighty Xanathar's guild symbols, and that's really upsetting the beholder! Get them back to keep him calm!
Celeste:	Fel, Farideh -- I have an idea that I need your help with.
Fel Ardra:	This sounds like I'm doing more free work.
Farideh:	Continue, Celeste.
Celeste:	After the attack, we still need four more pilots to make use of every spelljammer we have. Pilots need to be spellcasters -- which we have a plethora of. I was hoping that the two of you could select four spellcasters and teach them how to be spelljammer pilots.
Fel Ardra:	[Sigh] Is this to help save your and other folk's worlds?
Celeste:	As many as we can save, yes.
Fel Ardra:	...Fine, I'm in. But Farideh is picking the pilots. I don't know any of them well enough and I don't care to change that.
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		Their numbers are dwindling! Finish the fight!
50	Defeat the Space Clown Ringmaster		The ringmaster is all that's left! Defeat them so you can get back to the coalition!
