Friends of a Feather
Strongheart explores the Feywild with an old friend and a few helpful guides.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Strongheart:	I'd not imagined to return to Prismeer so soon - and with such... companions.
Warduke:	The feeling's mutual.
Yorven:	Knock it off. We had enough of your bickering the first time around. Let's get to work.
Blooshi:	What are we doing here again? Something about a skillet?
Strongheart:	[Quietly] Off to a great start.
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		Giant spiders infest the realm of Hither. Let us drive them away!
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		More vile spiders! Have at them!
Blooshi:	Are we there yet? I'm bored.
Strongheart:	We've only just begun, though I do share the sentiment.
Warduke:	Enough! I have a job to do, and you all are the only people I know familiar with this realm.
Yorven:	It's fine to admit you didn't want to be alone.
Warduke:	SILENCE!
Strongheart:	I'm surprised to see Hither largely unchanged.
Blooshi:	Yeah, Zybilna is cool. She did a LOT of work to fix up Prismeer after the Hourglass Coven got the boot, but then she realized that a lot of us LIKED how it was. She wants to make everyone happy.
Strongheart:	Zybilna is most wise. Nonetheless, the stench is overwhelming.
Blooshi:	Isn't it great? [Sigh] Home, sweet home. Help me bottle some marsh gunk? My supply is running low.
3	Collect 25 Bottles of Pure Pond Juice		Let us gather some noxious samples for our bullywug friend.
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		Be on guard! The spiders have redoubled their efforts!
5	Defeat the Poison-Spitting Spider		That vicious specimen leads the swarm! Slay the creature!
Yorven:	I'm glad to be back in the Feywild, don't get me wrong. But, seriously, where are we going?
Warduke:	I was summoned by an old ally - a witch. She has a job for me. Wants me to be her fist while she seeks arcane secrets. We all know that the Feywild is a perilous place.
Yorven:	Here comes trouble. Brigands.
Warduke:	The rabbits? What a joke.
Strongheart:	It is unwise to dismiss any foe out of hand. What they lack in stature, they surely make up for in numbers.
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		Rout these brigands! For great justice!
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		So many of them! Keep your paws off our belongings!
Strongheart:	Insistent fellows, these brigands. I had hoped they would give up their thieving ways when the hags fell.
Blooshi:	A lot of them went out to find new jobs, but I guess some just love stealing stuff.
Strongheart:	What about Prismeer's 'Rule of Ownership'?
Yorven:	They found a loophole. They're just 'borrowing' your things. They give it back later only to steal it again. It's all a game to them. Fools.
8	Defeat 1 Fallen Log		They've taken cover behind that fallen log! We must remove it!
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		We have them on the back foot now! After them!
10	Defeat the Harengon Leader		The one giving orders must be their ringleader! Charge!
Strongheart:	Blooshi? You seem ill at ease.
Blooshi:	It's kind of weird being back here. Like, it's home, but it's changed, you know? I've changed, too. I guess I'm sad that the home I remember is gone. Stuff is different, and it's hard.
Yorven:	I understand all too well. I fought so much to return here, only to find everything touched by darkness - including me.
Strongheart:	Indeed. It is difficult to reconcile with change, especially when evil takes root in what you once held dear.
Warduke:	And just WHAT is THAT supposed to mean?
Strongheart:	[Silent, judgmental stare]
Warduke:	I don't need this. I don't need YOU. I can find the witch on my own.
Blooshi:	Oh, pondscum. Wait for me!
Strongheart:	...And that's what happened. Warduke is somewhere out there in the untamed Feywild, with Blooshi in tow.
Ellywick:	You were right to seek me out. I am quite skilled at finding things these days - mostly gems, but still. Come on. Let's grab a drink inside and discuss.
Yorven:	Easier said than done. Look there. Stilt walkers.
Strongheart:	Monsters! Let us vanquish this evil!
Yorven:	Whoa, hold on. They're just wary of strangers and fairly territorial. Still, if they're looking for a fight...
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		These denizens of Hither are not friendly. Begone, foul creatures!
Tsu:	Shoo! Pesky things!
Ellywick:	Hey, Tsu. Can we get a table?
Tsu:	Sure. You can sit anywhere you like. Your first drink's on the house if you help with the cleanup. Seems like all the rats and gnats of Hither want a piece of this place.
Strongheart:	It would be my honor to aid you in your time of need, good woman.
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		Zounds! The inn has run amok with vermin! We must take action!
Yorven:	Looks like the rats ordered one of everything.
Tsu:	They're stealing all the appetizers! Stop them!
13	Collect 25 Appetizers		The rats have ransacked the larder! Seize those vittles!
Ellywick:	Alright, then. We have food. Just break off the nibbled bits. Now, it's easier for me to find someone if I know more about them. So, let's dine and whine. What's going on in that big, shiny head? You're worried about your friend?
Strongheart:	My friend? Yes. No. It's complicated. Warduke was a friend, once. Everything changed when we found the Heartstone...
Ellywick:	…Huh. That's quite a tale. So you and Warduke - and several other people - were bosom companions until a magical stone intensified your natural qualities?
Strongheart:	That's the right of it. We had such adventures together! And after, we always shared a hearty meal at the Shady Dragon - it was much like this, though more lively. There were more than a hundred regulars there, I'm certain.
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		We shall root out these pests!
15	Defeat the Swarm of Flies		There's the last of these vile things. Let us be rid of them!
Strongheart:	We've done it! Justice and valor have won the day and secured a haven for this good maiden!
Tsu:	[Raises eyebrow] He's a lot, huh?
Yorven:	He's always like this, for better and for worse.
Ellywick:	Glad we could help, Tsu. And thanks for the meal! Let's get going!
Strongheart:	Heads on pikes! What is this ghastly place?
Yorven:	What's morbid to you is a proud tradition to others. Show some respect.
Ellywick:	The chattering heads of Downfall know all the latest gossip, though they appear to be napping at the moment.
Yorven:	Nothing the din of battle can't fix. The knights of the Soggy Court are always willing to spar. Let's make some noise!
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		Monsters of mud and croaking cavaliers! We must defend ourselves!
Berooga XXI:	I say, what's all this hubbubbery about?
Ellywick:	Greetings, your majesties. Heard any good rumors lately?
Yorven:	Maybe about a gloomy young mage and a dark and brooding warrior who likes to hit things with his sword?
Molubb XVI:	Ohhh my, yes. They were here. You speak of dear Blooshi and her escort - who was he? Marmaduke?
Strongheart:	The man's name is Warduke.
Molubb XVI:	Is it? On the day of his birth, the happy parents looked upon their sweet babe and thought, 'Ah yes, this is our darling boy, the DUKE of WAR.' Is that what happened?
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		These troublesome toads shall not compel our leave!
Strongheart:	Never mind his name! Please, tell us. Where have they gone?
Tublaple X:	Mmm, yes. They were having a most riveting discussion about some mustachioed, silvery-helmed, goody two-shoes. I do believe they went a-that-a-way. [Points with rotting tongue]
18	Collect 25 Lillipad Notes		The handwriting on the notes those knights carry looks familiar. Grab them!
Yorven:	Let's have a look at these letters. Ahem. [Clears throat]
Blooshi:	[Carefully scribed note] Dear whoever. How are you? I am well. By the time you read this, my new best friend and I will probably be lost. He's gonna be so mad! But that's okay. He's funny when he's angry, and if he dies, I'll just turn him into a really strong zombie! I think that would be pretty neat. Signed, the Majestic Swamp Queen of the Night, Blooshi.
Ellywick:	So they're lost?
Strongheart:	Hmph. It doesn't matter. My friend was lost to me years ago.
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		Let's clear out these marsh-dwellers.
20	Defeat the Bullywug on a Crocodile		One last discouraging loss should rout these bullywugs!
Ellywick:	Hey, big guy. Don't look so glum. I'm sure they'll be alright. They're strong and capable. And we're not giving up, right?
Strongheart:	Indeed. To abandon them to their fate would weigh heavy on my heart. We continue!
Yorven:	I think I just stepped on another note. It's not coming off. Why is it sticky!?
Ellywick:	Hold your foot up and let me read it.
Blooshi:	[With elegant penmanship] Dear people who wish they were me..My future zombie general and I found a weird portal. I'm a little bored again, so I told him the skillet he's looking for is probably in there. See you on the other side, maybe! With all my love, Blooshi.
Strongheart:	I sense evil. We must find this portal!
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		What's that eerie light? Let's investigate closer.
Strongheart:	That must be the portal, just over there. Strange. I feel as if I'm being pulled toward -
Strongheart:	- it. Gods above, what is this loathsome place?
Yorven:	I wish I didn't know. I wish I could forget. This is the Shadowfell.
Ellywick:	I've seen my share of planes, but this is one I avoid. Yorven, you're the expert here. Lead on.
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		The very shadows come alive to tear at our souls! Repel them!
Yorven:	We're in luck. Rough up those kenku. Grab any loose feathers and stuff your pockets.
23	Collect 25 Raven Feathers		Surrender those feathers, fowl things!
Yorven:	Now we carry a token of the one who rules this realm. It should help conceal us, for a time. Let's make haste. Stay sharp.
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		These kenku are perhaps rightfully upset that we've pilfered their pinions...
25	Defeat the Wight		The kenku have roused an undead warrior to do their bidding. To arms!
Ellywick:	What do you think the odds are that they went into the spooky tomb?
Yorven:	Blooshi would never pass up a place like this.
Strongheart:	And the Warduke I know would follow to prove he's unafraid.
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		Tread carefully, friends. This tomb teems with treacherous terrors!
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		Undead servants of evil! Smite them!
28	Defeat 1 Shadowy Altar		Destroying that dark altar will surely diminish the dread power of this place!
Warduke:	[Distant] RAAAAA!!! I'LL SPLIT YOU IN TWO!
Strongheart:	I'd know that cruel battlecry anywhere. That's him - the monster that was once my friend.
Yorven:	Hey, now. He may have been transformed by magic, but he's still a person. Look at me. I'm speaking from experience here.
Strongheart:	...I apologize, Yorven. I did not mean to offend.
Yorven:	It's fine. Let's keep moving.
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		Righteousness demands these skeletons be destroyed!
30	Defeat the Minotaur Skeleton		Let us lay these bones to their final rest!
Warduke:	[Distant] I CAN'T BELIEVE I LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN!
Ellywick:	He sounds more annoyed, less in mortal danger.
Strongheart:	The man laments his failings and rages against fate, but Warduke is too proud to ever admit he needs help.
Ellywick:	Unlike you, of course. Right?
Strongheart:	Indeed. I am a living symbol of faith, hope, and kindness. And humility.
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		These minions of darkness will never take us alive!
Blooshi:	Hey! You followed my notes! Isn't this place awe-
Yorven:	Awful!? Yes! It's the Shadowfell, Blooshi! What were you thinking!?
Blooshi:	-some? Sorry, what? No! This is great! It's, like, all my dreams come true! I feel like a tadpole in a candy store!
Strongheart:	Let's continue this discussion after we fend off these fiends!
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		Hold fast! The darkness encroaches!
Strongheart:	Blooshi, I am relieved to see you safe. Where is Warduke?
Blooshi:	Who? Oh, that guy. Yeah, we found the skillet he was looking for. Did you know she's a person?
Strongheart:	I did, yes. Skylla, like Warduke, was one of my trusted companions, once. In another life...
Blooshi:	Yeah, cool, so anyway. They started talking business and I'm like 'do we not give you enough gold already?' and he's like 'it's never enough' and I'm like 'whatever' and I went to go look at tomb stuff and then they start screaming and now I'm here. Hi!
33	Collect 25 Map Fragments		Some poor souls before us left their maps behind. Let's pick them up.
Ellywick:	Can you look at this map with -
Blooshi:	Omigosh, you're ELLYWICK! I looove your work!
Ellywick:	...Yes, Blooshi. I know. I've been with the Champions for a while now. Can you point on the map where you left the others?
Blooshi:	Oh, sure. Over here? I think?
Strongheart:	Then that is the path we follow.
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		More shadow creatures haunt this place. We must banish them!
35	Defeat the Ogre Zombie		That hulking brute will crush us if we hesitate! Stand firm!
Warduke:	[Distant] THIS IS NOT HOW I DIE! I REFUSE THIS FATE!
Skylla:	[Distant] Be silent, you oaf! I can't think with your constant roaring!
Strongheart:	I hear them! This way!
Yorven:	Careful. These are shadar-kai. They work for the Raven Queen, master of this domain. Watch the shadows.
Strongheart:	They brandish weapons. I believe their intentions are quite clear.
Shadar-Kai Soul Monger:	More interlopers, come to take from the dead. Destroy them.
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		These dark fey accuse us of being tomb robbers! We must defend our honor!
Strongheart:	Yield! We are no bandits! I'm here to save my... colleague!
Shadar-Kai Soul Monger:	I care not for your reasons. You will join the dead in this tomb.
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		Dig in your heels, everyone! These fey refuse to surrender!
38	Collect 25 Torches		We'll need torches to go further. Find some!
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		If they will not accept mercy, then give them no quarter!
Strongheart:	You are not listening! We are not here for personal gain!
Shadar-Kai Soul Monger:	A lie. You are tomb raiders, the same as those who came before you.
Strongheart:	Then you leave us no choice. Valor calls, and I must answer!
40	Defeat the Soul Monger		Bring low these shadar-kai!
Yorven:	He was certainly quick to judge others for his preconceived notions of right and wrong.
Strongheart:	Indeed. More's the pity. If only he had chosen to look beyond his assumptions, he would have seen the truth: that every life is complex and worthy of both mercy and an honest effort in understanding.
Yorven:	Yeah?
Strongheart:	...Oh.
Yorven:	Yeah, let that one steep for a while.
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		Disperse the remaining servants of the Raven Queen. I think.
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		Let us... vanquish... the... hm...
Strongheart:	I have had an epiphany. Perhaps... just perhaps, I have been too harsh in my judgment of others. Or, too hasty. Could it be both?
Yorven:	Yeah, I'm thinking it's both.
Blooshi:	Oh for sure, both.
Ellywick:	Goodness and evil do exist, Strongheart. That is true. And where there is evil, good must rise against it. But, maybe think with your brain instead of your sword.
Strongheart:	I see. Yes. I must ponder this.
43	Collect 25 Lost Tomes		I know I must take up arms against that which seeks to do us harm!
Blooshi:	Oh, hey, I think these are the books the skillet lady wanted to find!
Yorven:	A rare bit of fortune, but a welcome one. Now she'll have no reason to want to linger in this place.
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		Let us press on. We must reach the tomb's heart!
45	Defeat the Shadow Demon		A shadow demon! Malice and death incarnate! I smite thee!
Warduke:	[Not So Distant] Well? Have you figured out an escape plan yet?
Skylla:	[Not So Distant] Oh, for the Bone Mother's sake, would you SHUT UP!? No! For the thirty-eighth time, NO!
Warduke:	[Not So Distant] What about your Faerie Fire?
Skylla:	[Not So Distant] Oh, yes! Of course! My SIGNATURE SPELL! Why didn't I think of it sooner? OF COURSE I THOUGHT OF THAT ALREADY YOU DUNDERHEAD! IT WON'T HELP!
Warduke:	[Not So Distant] At least I'm TRYING, Skylla!
Strongheart:	[Shouting] Hold on, you two! We're coming!
Skylla:	[Not So Distant] Was that Strongheart!? What's HE doing here!?
Warduke:	[Nearby] Over here! Hurry up!
Strongheart:	With all haste! I'm not giving up on either of you!
Skylla:	[Nearby] Well, that's a relief, because I - MMPH! HMPH! [Muffled scream]
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		We're almost there! Keep pushing!
Darkweaver:	[Nearby] The bat-spittle broth is ready. The bone-fire stove is stoked. Soon I will carve the screaming dark meat, raw and ready to roast.
Warduke:	[Nearby] Like hell you will!
Darkweaver:	[Nearby] Patience, meat. You are second course. First shall be this foolish morsel who so proudly trespassed upon my home. Let me just fetch my... tools.
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		Fight on, whatever it takes!
Warduke:	There you are! Now GET ME OUT OF HERE!
Strongheart:	You'll be freed soon... [Quietly] old friend.
48	Defeat 1 Warduke		Tear down that cage! We have to save Warduke!
Strongheart:	Though our paths may have diverged, I still treasure the bond we once shared. I swear to you -
Warduke:	There's no TIME for that! Some eight-legged FREAK has Skylla! Come on! Where's my SWORD!?
Darkweaver:	Ah, more side dishes for my banquet. How sublime. Wait your turn, please.
Ellywick:	A darkweaver! They're monstrous gourmands, obsessed with new sensations!
Yorven:	There are few worse things in the Shadowfell, believe me! I've seen it all!
Warduke:	It has Skylla! We have to save her! She hasn't PAID me yet!
Strongheart:	Vile creature! Release that witch!
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		Form up! We strike at the darkweaver, for justice!
Darkweaver:	Impatient, aren't you? I'll be with you shortly. I must debone this one first.
Strongheart:	Wait! She's hardly worth your appetite! You hunger for a truly unique taste, yes? A flavor to savor and never forget? Friar Fergus at the Shady Dragon Inn makes the most incredible turnip turnovers. He's famous for them! You remember, don't you, Warduke?
Warduke:	Mmm. I remember. One taste and you'll never be the same.
Darkweaver:	Tell me... more...
Strongheart:	Imagine it. Slowly and carefully growing all the ingredients. Picking out the imperfections, to guarantee the strongest flavor...
Darkweaver:	Yesss... Go on...
Warduke:	[Slowly circling, searching for a weak spot]
Strongheart:	Golden dough kneaded with turmeric, curry, and thyme, baked to perfection...
Darkweaver:	Oooh... Such flavors...
Warduke:	[Ignites his flaming sword, prepares to swing]
Strongheart:	And then, that first BITE -
Darkweaver:	[Screaming, screeching] DECEIVERS! I WILL DEVOUR YOU!
50	Defeat the Darkweaver		The creature is wounded! Now, we finish this together!
Warduke:	Did you see its face? The turnip turnover gambit never fails. Classic.
Strongheart:	Just like the old days! Mayhaps there's hope for us after all.
Skylla:	You're both fools. Now, be good boys and carry my things.
Blooshi:	You know, you look kinda familiar. Love your whole vibe. Also, we found some magic books you might want?
Skylla:	My, my. Useful little creature, aren't you?
Yorven:	Everyone's safe and happy? Great, let's get out of here. If I ever see the Shadowfell again, it'll be too soon.
Ellywick:	One Plane Shift back to Prismeer, coming right up!
Strongheart:	Onward to more adventure, with old friends and new!
