Frozen Vengeance
Return to Sunblight fortress, to make sure Xardorok pays for his crimes.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Nayeli:	The Termalaine refugees are all accounted for and sheltered. I'm sure traveling in an illithid airship will only add to the shocks they've already suffered, but we made good time here.
Minsc:	Minsc has spoken to scouts and rangers. Survivors from other towns are on the move. All know to come to Bryn Shander for safety. Local folk are setting up more tents and shelters.
Bruenor:	This'll be tha best place fer 'em, fer now at least. But gettin' Icewind Dale back ta normal seems like longer odds tha more time goes by. Even if folks come back from this, that cursed rime o' Auril's is still out there.
Nayeli:	Taking things on one crisis at a time is all we can do. And with the refugees safe, our next crisis is set. We're going back to Sunblight.
Jarlaxle:	You might want to table that crisis for just a moment, pending another one. There's a group of survivors from Good Mead coming into town -- and they've got a familiar murderous look in their eyes!
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		Corrupted townsfolk among the other refugees need your help -- but this wolf pack attack will make it even harder to get them under control!
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		The wolves don't look like they're in this fight for the long haul. One more push should scatter them!
3	Collect 25 Chardalyn Dragon Fragments		Getting the last of the chardalyn fragments away from the townsfolk will help bring them back to normal. Work quickly!
Wulfgar:	We're doing too good a job keeping the corrupted townsfolk on the run. They're all running for the refugees' shelters!
Nayeli:	Keep after them! We need to get this mob under control, or Bryn Shander will come apart at the seams!
4	Defeat 25 Monsters		The surviving wolves regroup -- and cut off your access to the townsfolk still needing your aid!
5	Defeat the Crazed Owlbear		A crazed owlbear is drawn to the noise of the battle! And the last of the corrupted townsfolk try to take advantage of its assault to overwhelm you!
Calliope:	All right, I think that's the last of them settled down and back to normal. Finally, time to put our feet up! Or, you know, run straight into the next fight.
Celeste:	A rest would do us all good, I know. But we have no time to waste. Oarus, I've given you all I know about the chardalyn corruption. If you see it in the survivors from other towns, you'll know what to do.
Oarus:	Aye, Celeste. We'll be ready with aid as it's needed.
Jarlaxle:	So we're off to see the duergar, then. Are our undersized illithids ready to go?
Vorryn:	Ah, there you are, Champions. We must depart soon. Are these specimens cared for to appropriate degrees?
Celeste:	These aren't 'specimens,' Vorryn. They're people. We can talk more on the distinction as we travel. Champions! It's time to go!
Jarlaxle:	This definitely beats walking back to the Spine of the World, but I can't say much for the amenities on this cruise. No open bar, no spa.
Calliope:	You look like you're keeping busy enough either way. What are you doing there, elf? Sketching?
Jarlaxle:	Doing some visual studies of these gnome ceremorphs, yes. It's too good an opportunity to pass up.
Nayeli:	I'm surprised at that, Jarlaxle. You're not usually the type for research and lore.
Jarlaxle:	It's not research. I just want to capture their look, then license it for a line of stuffed toys.
Nayeli:	... They're illithids, Jarlaxle.
Jarlaxle:	And cute as a button. Just look at them! I'm envisioning the prototype already. It'll have smooshy tentacles. 'Who wants a face hug? Ooo, YOU want a face hug!'
Bruenor:	Don't mean ta be interruptin' yer important business talk, but them hares we sent scatterin' last time is on tha move! Look out!
6	Defeat 25 Monsters		Clearing out the ceremorphs' hare problem will help while away the travel time to Sunblight. Get to work!
Walnut:	These aren't just the hares we fought before. They've picked up a full-on mob of rabbits from somewhere!
Minsc:	Rabbits must have gotten on board in Bryn Shander while nautiloid ship was on ground for survivors to disembark.
Walnut:	Well, let's get them contained and cornered. Then we can let them loose when we land!
7	Defeat 25 Monsters		Rabbits or hares, these creatures fight with a singular tenacity!
8	Collect 25 Rabbits' feet		Collecting a few more trophies from some of these creatures might inspire the rest of them to fall back. Time to make some rabbits' feet!
9	Defeat 25 Monsters		The will to fight in these hares and rabbits is starting to flag. Time to settle these beasts down!
10	Defeat the Vicious Rabbit		A vicious rabbit leads the most tenacious hares in a final stand!
Dredavex:	Destination is here! We set down to open cargo doors. Rabbits and hares are disembarking.
Walnut:	There's forest just down the slope. They should be able to manage there.
Bruenor:	Plus, if tha duergar is tryin' ta figure out what this nautiloid's doin' here, watchin' a parade o' critters filin' out o' it should definitely help keep 'em guessin'.
Celeste:	So we're agreed, Dredavex? In exchange for more lessons on appropriate specimens, you'll hold the nautiloid here for a time?
Dredavex:	Indeed! Your lore is much useful, Celeste. You are a prime intelligence specimen. Err, person. Persons are not specimens and must not be captured, as Celeste has taught.
Celeste:	One step at a time, I guess...
11	Defeat 25 Monsters		Winter wolves have the entrance to Sunblight locked down -- but not for long!
Bruenor:	That winter wolf pack weren't puttin' up much o' a fight. And there's no sign o' duergar. One look at tha nautiloid, and they probably hunkered deep down inside, thinkin' they got mind flayers knockin' at their door.
Nayeli:	Let's hope so. And let's hope that buys us easy passage inside. Everyone watch for Xardorok! He's the only foe that matters today. First, we get him out of the picture and ready to take back to Bryn Shander for justice. Then we negotiate with whoever's in charge after him about the duergar clearing out. Let's go!
12	Defeat 25 Monsters		Quaggoths patrol the corridors of the fortress. Push through!
Duergar Fighter:	Hold that line! Send these mercenaries back where they came from! Surface-worlder scum!
Bruenor:	Better take more care with yer insults there. With yer boss Xardorok layin' claim ta Icewind Dale, ye're all surface-worlder scum wanna-bes, seems ta me. Not sure he'd appreciate tha sentiment.
Duergar Fighter:	Prattle on, dwarf. And I hope you got a good last look at your dale on your way here -- before the chardalyn dragon razed every one of your Ten-Towns to the ground!
Calliope:	Sounds like you need some updating on your current events, friend. Your dragon is destroyed. Ten-Towns is safe. And Xardorok and all the rest of you are done!
Duergar Fighter:	The dragon...? You lie! Insolence and defiance! And I promise, I'll break you of those flaws before the end!
13	Collect 25 Bryn Shander Trinkets		Duergar fighters join the fray with their quaggoth servants. Seize the stolen trinkets they bear in the name of the folk of Ten-Towns.
14	Defeat 25 Monsters		The duergar have retreated in search of reinforcements, but the quaggoths fight on!
Nayeli:	More quaggoths coming in! The duergar have them holding the line.
Wulfgar:	Hopefully, getting word that their precious dragon is no more will sow some chaos among their ranks. But we're not going to find Xardorok as long as we're stuck here. Come on!
15	Defeat the Quaggoth Thonot		This quaggoth thonot shows an unfortunate loyalty to Xardorok. Time to end that dedication!
16	Defeat 25 Monsters		The last of the quaggoths falls back -- to be shored up by a duergar counterattack!
Catti-brie:	That's the last o' the quaggoths, looks like. Nothing but duergar as far as the eye can see.
Bruenor:	I recognize this place. We're close ta tha war room -- and with them turned out ta keep us back, I'm guessin' that's where Xardorok is hidin'!
17	Defeat 25 Monsters		More duergar melee fighters close in tight. Don't let them surround you!
18	Defeat 1 Smashed Pile of Goods		Where a wall of smashed boxes hems you in, the duergar try to cut you down at range. Push through!
Nayeli:	There's the war room! Watch for Xardorok! We need to bring that murderous megalomaniac to heel.
Xardorok:	The closest you'll get to heel with me will be feeling my boot, surface-worlder! You think to defy me? You think the loss of my dragon ends this? I will show you what power is! I will show you your end!
Calliope:	So I'm guessing we're going to make negotiating with this chucklehead plan B?
Bruenor:	Probably safe ta push it farther down tha alphabet than that. Champions! Take 'im!
19	Defeat 25 Monsters		The duergar unleash a coordinated assault to defend Xardorok! Stand fast!
Xardorok:	Stand! Stand you useless dogs! You'll let these mercenary rabble defy you!?
Nayeli:	For mercenary rabble, the Champions have a fairly solid track record of taking down would-be despots, duergar. One way or another, you'll face justice for what you've done to Icewind Dale. Now show the fortitude to accept your fate and stand down. Stop making your followers pay for your hunger for power.
Xardorok:	You make me laugh. I have no hunger for power... Or at least not for that power which is mine by right! And when I have seized that power, I will keep you alive to watch your precious Icewind Dale scoured clean!
20	Defeat the Xardorok Sunblight		Xardorok and his war room forces make a stand. See if you can turn it into a last stand!
Bruenor:	Oi! He's makin' a break fer it! Pin that Xardorok down!
Calliope:	Too many duergar pushing in! They're buying him time to run!
Bruenor:	They can try spendin' as much blood as they want in that maniac's name. It ain't stoppin' us!
21	Defeat 25 Monsters		As Xardorok falls back, a wall of duergar blocks your pursuit. Hit them hard!
Wulfgar:	The duergar are falling back! Keep pushing!
Jarlaxle:	Careful! They're falling back to let something else come in!
Calliope:	What's that buzzing sound? Like a swarm of clockwork bees or something...
Celeste:	Oh, no... those are chardalyn dragonets! Xardorok must have built still more of them! Watch yourselves!
22	Defeat 25 Monsters		Chardalyn dragonets on the wing join the duergar assault! Strike hard to keep them at bay!
23	Collect 25 Pieces of Chardalyn Dragonets		As these dragonets shatter, their scattered pieces become an equally dangerous threat. Clear these chardalyn shards out!
Bruenor:	Them blasted duergar has been leadin' us in circles! We're headin' back ta tha war room!
Nayeli:	And so is Xardorok! There he goes! But who's that with him?
Durth:	Get inside father! I'll help hold these maggots back. I will see all their heads mounted at the citadel gates, and carried in procession when we make our triumphal progress and claim their shattered realm for the duergar!
Calliope:	Well, like father, like son. Good to know this fight isn't going to get bogged down with a lot of moral dilemmas...
24	Defeat 25 Monsters		The duergar lay down a barrage from range as the dragonets continue their assault!
Bruenor:	Feh! Fast as we get 'em pinned down, they bolt again! Xardorok and junior are pushin' fer tha doors!
Durth:	The name is Durth, loathsome insect.
Calliope:	Durth Loathsome Insect? Insect's an odd family name for a duergar, isn't it?
Durth:	Insolence! You will all pay!
Calliope:	Oh, Durth, I'm just kidding. Or do you prefer 'Mr. Loathsome Insect'? You know, on formal occasions like this.
Bruenor:	Nice work rilin' him up. But what's Xardorok doin' at them doors... oi! Watch yerselves!
25	Defeat the Snow Golems		Xardorok and Durth are almost in your grasp -- but these snow golems mean to end your pursuit right here!
Wulfgar:	Whatever else they share, this Durth and his father are equal amounts of craven. Did anyone see which way they fled?
Calliope:	Straight out, with the last of the duergar flanking them.
Nayeli:	We need to stop this endless chase and get this fight locked down. Come on!
26	Defeat 25 Monsters		More swarms of chardalyn dragonets hold the hallways against you. Drive them back!
27	Defeat 25 Monsters		The dragonets fall back under your assault -- but a pack of quaggoths quickly comes to their defense!
Bruenor:	Looks like tha duergar is loadin' in stores fer a long stay here. Too bad they ain't stayin'.
Catti-brie:	It looks like their invisible scouts have been looting across the dale. They've even hit the Giant's Bane Tavern by the look o' it.
Nayeli:	I'm sure we can put them to better use. Gather up what you can, and quickly!
28	Collect 25 Giant's Bane Tavern Mugs		The stolen goods the duergar have been collecting from across Icewind Dale will be of better use in the hands of those needing to rebuild -- but you'll need to fight to claim them!
Wulfgar:	We can't make headway against the quaggoths in these hallways. We need more room to fight!
Calliope:	We make it into that chamber ahead, we might get some space... wait. There's someone there...
Grandolpha:	You lot again? I guess I should have expected it when I heard the alarm called.
Celeste:	Grandolpha Muzgardt. We're well met once more.
Grandolpha:	Speak for yourselves, surface-worlders. I'm not your ally, as I thought should have been clear from our last meeting. But if you can finish dealing with Xardorok while leaving me in peace, it would be much appreciated.
Bruenor:	So ye ain't accepted Xardorok's offer o' marriage already? I was thinkin' maybe that's what was causin' his mood...
Grandolpha:	Very droll, dwarf. But watching Xardorok's plans unraveling around him has more than proved that I'm better off on my own. Now, clear out these quaggoths you seem to have brought with you, would you? I'd be most appreciative.
29	Defeat 25 Monsters		The dragonets retreat as you prepare to turn Grandolpha Muzgardt's chambers into a battlefield. But the quaggoths only intensify their assault!
30	Defeat the Enlarged Duergar		An enlarged duergar anchors the quaggoths as they make a final assault. Stand fast!
Grandolpha:	A sterling performance, surface-worlders! Now let's see if you can undertake an exit with as much gravitas.
Bruenor:	Let's cut tha theatrics on both sides, Grandolpha. We're here fer Xardorok, but what happens after we get him's gonna depend on who takes over. So why don't ye come clean on how many advisors and warriors in his ranks are already loyal ta ye? We got no interest in useless bloodshed, if ye can get 'em ta stand down.
Grandolpha:	I have more than enough of Xardorok's forces behind me to stand against you and your companions, dwarf. But as you say, useless bloodshed serves neither of our sides.
Nayeli:	Then tell us where Xardorok has gone. What's his endgame here?
Grandolpha:	You might call it a... conversion of faith. The fool has been playing with planar magic in his chardalyn machinations. And focusing the power he's collected in the temple to Deep Duerra, on the forge level. You'll find him there. And when you do, give him my regards.
31	Defeat 25 Monsters		You set a route to the forge level -- but the iron defenders Xardorok has constructed march relentlessly toward you. Get ready!
32	Defeat 25 Monsters		Where the iron defenders are creating gaps in your lines, the quaggoths are quick to take advantage.
Jarlaxle:	There's a wall of these constructs in every direction. They're trying to surround us.
Nayeli:	Good thing we only care about one direction. Just keep pushing for the forge.
Celeste:	We're getting close. I can see shards of chardalyn scattered around... and the iron defenders have been rolling in it!
Bruenor:	I'm guessin' that ain't good.
Celeste:	I'd like to not find out. Come on!
33	Collect 25 Crystal Shards		If the iron defenders absorb the power of these scattered chardalyn shards, there's no telling how it might amplify their power! Grab them up!
34	Defeat 25 Monsters		The quaggoths regroup for another assault! And these iron defenders won't give up!
Wulfgar:	That's twice now I've seen duergar approach the edge of the fray, then fall back. But I don't know if it's Xardorok's forces checking our position or Grandolpha's loyalists steering clear of the fight.
Calliope:	I'm not going to complain either way. If these quaggoths and constructs are Xardorok's second string, they're doing a good enough job hammering us on their own.
Nayeli:	I don't think this is his second string. I think he's throwing everything he's got at us. Which means the faster we put these defenders down, the faster we end this.
Minsc:	Listen! There is barking coming fast. And second string is moving to tie us down!
35	Defeat the Mastiff		A mighty mastiff joining the fray gives Xardorok's defenders renewed fury. Hold on!
Nayeli:	We're getting close! There's the forge, dead ahead!
Wulfgar:	Xardorok knows we're coming. And it looks like he's putting every one of his chardalyn constructs into play!
36	Defeat 25 Monsters		A veritable army of chardalyn dragonets stands between you and the forge! Time to step up this fight!
37	Defeat 25 Monsters		As fast as you smash them down, more dragonets soar into the fray!
Bruenor:	Duergar on tha move! And judgin' by their battle fury, these is Xardorok's vassals through and through.
Nayeli:	They're going to try to lock us down here. But we need to get through the forge to reach the temple! Hit them hard!
38	Collect 25 Iron Stakes		The duergar advance -- and will spike the forge doors shut against you if you let them. Seize these iron stakes!
Jarlaxle:	More duergar moving where those fighters just fell back! And they've got an old friend with them!
Xardorok:	Attack, my dragonets! Scour the flesh from their bones!
39	Defeat 25 Monsters		Xardorok is nearly in your grasp -- but these dragonets make it all but impossible to reach him!
Nayeli:	I don't understand. Why isn't Xardorok falling back to the temple? And why aren't his forces advancing?
Jarlaxle:	The duergar with him are up to something... they're grabbing up chardalyn shards... and feeding them into the forge fires!
Celeste:	He's trying to destroy the forge -- and us with it! We need to get to Xardorok, now!
40	Defeat the Duergar Hammerer		A duergar hammerer means to hold you here while Xardorok sabotages the forge! Take this construct down!
Celeste:	Is everyone all right? Are we all here?
Catti-brie:	Nobody missing that I can see. But my ears are going to be ringing for a while.
Bruenor:	Everybody up and movin'! There's no tellin' what kind o' structural damage that explosion did ta tha place. If that roof's gonna come down, we don't wanna be under it.
Nayeli:	Xardorok and his forces fell back just before the forge went up. He'll be setting up a defense in the temple.
Bruenor:	Let him try. I'm lookin' forward ta endin' this fight, once and fer all!
Durth:	There they are! Advance!
Calliope:	More quaggoths and dragonets inbound! Ah, Xardorok left baby Durth in charge!
Durth:	For your insolence, surface-worlder, you'll be the last one I kill -- so you can feel the full despair of watching your friends fall first.
Calliope:	Pretty sure that just hanging out with you is going to give me all the despair I can handle, Durth. But I appreciate the thought!
41	Defeat 25 Monsters		Xardorok's forces under Durth Sunblight's control pour forth against you! Stand fast!
42	Defeat 25 Monsters		The dragonets' numbers are finally starting to thin. Finish them off!
43	Collect 25 Barrels of Darklake Stout		These duergar fighters are guarding more hoarded supplies that will be desperately needed by the refugees resettling in Bryn Shander. Grab it all!
44	Defeat 25 Monsters		The last of the quaggoths have fallen, but the duergar are ready to pick up the slack!
Nayeli:	Durth Sunblight! You've got nothing close to enough forces to stand against the Champions, and nowhere else to go.
Bruenor:	She's right, lad. Toss yer weapons and stand down them iron defenders, and we'll give ye quarter. Ye can stand before tha folk o' Ten-Towns and accept their justice, alongside yer father.
Durth:	Your craven words are wasted, dwarf. Icewind Dale is ours! The folk of Ten-Towns will beg for our mercy! And I will kneel to no one, least of all you!
45	Defeat the Durth Sunblight		Durth sends forth a wave of iron defenders to join his duergar guards -- and will take this fight to the bitter end!
Bruenor:	Damn fool died fer all o' his daddy's blind ambition. Always tha way with ones like Xardorok. Standin' proud till tha end... and watchin' others fall ta defend 'em.
Nayeli:	We need to end this. We take the temple, now. Whatever Xardorok's got arrayed against us in there, push past it. We need him neutralized. Let's go!
Jarlaxle:	The duergar are moving! Two waves coming in. And they've got undead with them!
Celeste:	Gnoll vampires! And I can feel the power of the chardalyn in them. Xardorok's been building an undead army down here.
Bruenor:	Vampires or not, that's a mighty thin-lookin' crew Xardorok's got fer his last stand. Looks like that Grandolpha's put tha word out that Sunblight's gonna be comin' under new management real quick.
Nayeli:	Good. If we can take Xardorok, the rest of his forces here might submit.
Bruenor:	I ain't gonna hold me breath. These one's got tha look o' zealots about 'em, just like that Durth did. Xardorok's chardalyn fever dream o' rulin' over Icewind Dale is in their heads.
Nayeli:	Either way, we give quarter if it's asked for. And we take Xardorok back to Bryn Shander alive!
46	Defeat 25 Monsters		Xardorok assembles the last of his forces for a final showdown. Hit them hard!
47	Defeat 25 Monsters		No matter how hard you push, Xardorok's forces don't want to break!
48	Collect 25 Symbols of Deep Duerra		The duergar falling back to regroup gives you a chance to destroy these symbols of Deep Duerra. Disrupt the power of the temple while you can!
49	Defeat 25 Monsters		Another wave of gnoll vampires advances, while the duergar lay down fire from afar!
Xardorok:	Trespassers! Saboteurs! Worthless surface-worlders! You have no power here, and I defy you to the end!
Wulfgar:	Your defiance and your delusions of grandeur have cost uncounted lives, duergar -- not just the folk of Icewind Dale, but your own people. It ends here!
Xardorok:	If it ends here, I promise I'll take you all with me. So meet me! Kill me if you can!
Nayeli:	No, Xardorok. That fatalistic madness is what led you here. It's what drives every would-be despot like you! Your sense that destruction has some noble purpose, some grand end. So, no. You won't die here today. You'll face the folk of Ten-Towns first. You'll get to see the destruction you wrought, and what it's cost.
50	Defeat the Xardorok Sunblight		Xardorok Sunblight takes his enlarged form to drive the last of his forces forward! Stand fast for the folk of Ten-Towns!
Grandolpha:	That was nicely done again. You Champions have some spirit, I'll give you that. And leaving Xardorok alive, as promised. Most impressive.
Calliope:	Glad you could make it for the big finale. You had a good view, I trust?
Grandolpha:	Best seat in the house -- surrounded by the forces of Sunblight, now loyal to me.
Bruenor:	Made 'nuff trips ta this citadel already that I'm not anxious ta be comin' back. So ye and us is gonna need ta settle right now, Grandolpha, what yer plans are.
Grandolpha:	You mean my plans to assert dominion over Icewind Dale? You'll be pleased to hear I have none, Champions. We'll be quite happy to tend to our own business in the citadel. And if there are things the duergar can do to help make up for Xardorok's... transgressions... well, I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.
Catti-brie:	Any chance that ye'll want those arrangements to eventually include the taverns o' Ten-Towns selling Muzgardt ale?
Grandolpha:	Why, the thought never occurred to me. But I do like the way you think.
Celeste:	My friends, it's time we take our leave. We need to return to Bryn Shander with Xardorok and assess our situation. His threat may be ended. But Icewind Dale is still far from safe...
