Icon Havock's Zenith Havock's Zenith
Venture into the Astral Sea and search for the second piece of the rod!
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Portrait Vecna Tasha
Tasha:
All right, I think I've narrowed down where the next piece of the rod is. Looks like you'll be heading for the Astral Sea.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Boring.
Icon Portrait Vecna Tasha
Tasha:
To the corpse of a dead god.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
OOOOO!!
1 Defeat 25 Enemies Surprise, surprise - the wizard spells are going nuts again! Better do their work for them again before you get killed!
GrandTour Portrait Mordenkainen
Mordenkainen:
Have any of you been to the Astral Sea before?
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
I don't get out of Neverwinter much.
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
Yes, as a matter of fact. And it was on a dead god, too. Hopefully, this one is... less complicated.
Icon Reya
Reya:
Blooshi and I were with the Champions during the Xaryxian assault. We passed through the Astral Sea a few times.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
What ended up happening with the Xaryxian refugees?
Icon Reya
Reya:
Last I heard, Xedalli was named empress, and they had set up a small city south of Waterdeep.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Good, I'm happy for them.
2 Defeat 25 Enemies There are more killer spells here than some of my lairs - make components out of them!
3 Collect 25 Component Pouches Since you silly mortals still need components to cast spells, you best start collecting them!
4 Defeat 25 Enemies Wait, do I need components to cast things now? Uh, never mind - fight these magical objects while I try something...
GrandTour Portrait Mordenkainen
Mordenkainen:
For Knox's edification - the Astral Sea doesn't play by the same rules as the other planes. You will find yourself able to leap great distances - even float for a time. There are creatures there that move through the Astral Sea almost as if it were an ocean - you'll need to be alert at all times.
GrandTour Portrait Mordenkainen
Mordenkainen:
Lastly, time stands still there. It doesn't matter how long you stay there; you will not age a moment.
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
Sounds like I know where I'm retiring.
5 Defeat the Animated Soup Cauldron I'd say take some soup for the road, but you don't need to eat in the Astral Plane! ...wait, do I need to eat now? Is that what this weird stomach feeling is?
Icon Portrait Vecna AlustrielSilverhand
Alustriel Silverhand:
Good luck, Champions. By the time you return, we hope to have a full plan in place to take down Emperor Vecna.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
WHOA! There isn't any ground!
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
I thought something was missing - I think your friends need a little more training with their portal placement!
Icon Reya
Reya:
Everyone calm down! We're floating perfectly fine for right now. Let's look around and see if we can spot -
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
Astral Sea creatures approaching from the right - and fast!
6 Defeat 25 Enemies Ah, the Astral Sea - it would be such a lovely place if it weren't for a certain other lich. A story for another time - fight these things so we don't die.
7 Defeat 25 Enemies Whoa, don't remember these nasty things - must be new! Oh well, better kill them!
Icon Reya
Reya:
Anyone see anything that looks like a dead god?
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
There! I can't say it looks so much like a corpse as -
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
I don't care what it looks like as long as I can get solid ground under my feet again!
8 Collect 25 Space Eel Filets Blooshi says she wants space eel filets? I don't know, cut them up I guess?
Icon Reya
Reya:
Kas, can't help but notice that your sword has been very quiet this time around.
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
[Chuckles] I can't blame it. Ever since it had no effect on Emperor Vecna it hasn't spoken to anyone. I think it's upset. I would be lying if I said I didn't feel similarly.
Icon Reya
Reya:
Don't worry, we're going to defeat him.
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
I have no doubt. But it is a death promised to me and my blade that has been taken from us. We have... feelings about it.
9 Defeat 25 Enemies Why is Kas looking extra mopey? Whatever, keep fighting so we don't die!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Uh, does that place look a little...
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
Fleshy?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
I was trying to find another word, but... It looks like it's lumps of muscle with bone sticking out of it...
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
That's not all - what is that?
Icon Reya
Reya:
It looks like a crashed spelljammer! A galleon if I'm not mistaken.
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
That might be where the rod is. We can hope, at least. Regardless, someone there might be able to help us find it!
10 Defeat the Star Angler Leader Hey, those ugly fishes from before are back and BIGGER! Let's not get devoured - I HATE GETTING DEVOURED!
Icon Reya
Reya:
Looks like the spelljammer broke up into three segments. Let's head for the stern section and see if anyone survived.
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
Hello in there! Anyone aboard?
Icon Portrait Vecna Lysan
Lysan:
What's that? Is the meat talking to us now?
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
Not this again. You're not losing your mind - you've already lost it.
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
No, darlings, that would be us down here.
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
Vlaakith's breath - are you from another part of the ship?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
More like another part of the multiverse. We're looking for a magic item and were hoping you could help!
Icon Portrait Vecna Lysan
Lysan:
We'd love to help, but those aberrations look like they're going to tear you up first!
11 Defeat 25 Enemies Huh, didn't think nothics liked hanging out on giant lumps of flesh in the Astral Sea. Who knew?
12 Defeat 25 Enemies Oh good, space birds are fighting with the nothics. I was worried this was going to be an adventure that made sense.
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
I say - you all are doing some lovely fighting down there! Mind if we help?
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
The more swords, the merrier!
Icon Portrait Vecna Lysan
Lysan:
[Lands] Smashing! I can't help but notice you're not killing the lich - why?
Icon Reya
Reya:
He's harmless.
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
Hey!
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
Works for us - now let's get these gazers!
13 Collect 25 Aberration Eyes For the 'harmless' comment, I want 25 aberration eyes, or I'm going to be even more annoying this adventure.
Icon Reya
Reya:
What's with all of these aberrations?
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
Ever since we crashed, portals have been opening all over the ship, and aberrations keep pouring out of them. Luckily, we don't need to sleep in the Astral Plane, but it's been nearly constant!
Icon Reya
Reya:
Any idea why this is happening?
Icon Portrait Vecna Lysan
Lysan:
Well, we were using portals to jump across Wildspace... so maybe something happened when we crashed?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
What was that about traveling through Wildspace with portals?
Icon Portrait Vecna Lysan
Lysan:
Yeah, it was something special to the Lambent Zenith. The captain could open portals that would take us over distances that would normally take months!
Icon Reya
Reya:
And how would they do this?
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
We're not really sure. Well, there was a rumor around the ship that it was a magic item. Wait, aren't you all looking for a magic item?
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
[Scoffs] There's no way it's THAT easy.
Icon Reya
Reya:
Could we talk with your captain?
Icon Portrait Vecna Lysan
Lysan:
We haven't seen her since the crash. We think she's on one of the other segments - but the corpse is crawling with dangerous creatures.
14 Defeat 25 Enemies The aberrations are gone, but those fish still want to eat us! ...I'm still not used to this 'I can die now' thing.
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
So, who is in charge?
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
The first mate - Figaro.
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
Then take us to him.
Icon Portrait Vecna Lysan
Lysan:
Well... he's actually come down with something and locked himself in a stateroom.
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
What has he come down with?
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
Mass paranoia that the whole ship is trying to kill him.
15 Defeat the Green Slaad A green slaad! Those are always fun to throw at adventurers! ...though I prefer being on the other side of the battle.
Icon Reya
Reya:
So, can you take us to whoever is in charge now?
Icon Portrait Vecna Lysan
Lysan:
Hmm, I guess that would be Ilren?
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
I mean, he is the one trying to stop everyone from killing each other - so he's probably the best.
16 Defeat 25 Enemies You know, looking at a gibbering mouther from the mortal side of things, I get why people scream. Kill it!
Icon Portrait Vecna Ilren
Ilren:
Ah, you must be the adventurers I've heard about and... is that a lich?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Don't worry about him, he's more like a hurt puppy than anything else right now.
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
I'm still your patron, young lady!
Icon Portrait Vecna Ilren
Ilren:
I see, well, I don't know how much help I can be to you. I only came to this ship a few weeks before the crash. Honestly, I'm just trying to make sure tempers don't get too high. I'm actually a bit uncomfortable with this crew looking to me for leadership.
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
Well, I don't see anyone fighting - so it seems you are the leader they need at this time. We were hoping to speak with the first mate. Could you help us with that?
Icon Portrait Vecna Ilren
Ilren:
Oh, you see, I don't think that would be a good idea. Figaro is... distressed. I worry that any outside stressors could make him worse.
17 Defeat 25 Enemies Enough yapping - more not letting us get eaten by terrible space nightmares!
18 Collect 25 Chipped Mouther Teeth I don't believe you're really killing those mouthers - bring me some of their chipped teeth to prove it!
Icon Reya
Reya:
We understand your position, but it is very important that we find something Figaro may know the location of.
Icon Portrait Vecna Ilren
Ilren:
I won't, and can't, stop you from speaking with Figaro. But, please, before you do so, consider the ramifications for the crew if he gets worse. Just some food for thought.
19 Defeat 25 Enemies Are chokers a big threat in a place where you don't need air? Better carve them up all the same!
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
I don't like this giff.
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
I hate to agree with Mr. Mope over here, but that Ilren is up to something.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Because the two of you are SUCH good judges of character.
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
Evil does know evil, Blooshi. Heh, of course, I wouldn't know anything about that.
20 Defeat the Neh-thalggu Oh, you do NOT want to know what that neh-thalggu will do to you if we lose. So DON'T lose!
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
Follow us, we'll take you to the stateroom.
Icon Reya
Reya:
Ilren really didn't seem to like the idea.
Icon Portrait Vecna Lysan
Lysan:
Yeah, but we're not really 'make-good-decisions' sort of people. Plus, if the crew starts fighting it'll make things more interesting!
21 Defeat 25 Enemies Aartuks are crawling in from outside! Don't let them touch my pristine decaying skin!
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
Hey, hold on real quick. I need to grab something out of my locker and - AH! [Crashing sounds]
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG I WAS IN THERE? How are you not checking your locker AT LEAST once a week?
Icon Reya
Reya:
Is that... the Book of Tarchamus?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Huh? ...What in the Nine Hells are you all doing here? I'm on vacation!
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
Vacation? You disappeared almost a year ago.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Look, it was great traveling with you for a while, but I'm gonna be honest - I got bored. So I had one of your zombie lackies take me for a trip. Which was a great mode of transportation before he fell off the side of a spelljammer.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
And now you've been hanging out in a locker since then?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Not by choice.
22 Defeat 25 Enemies Oh great, now an aberration portal opened up too! You're not doing enough fighting - get on it!
Icon Reya
Reya:
Are you saying someone hid you in that locker?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Yes! I was sleeping one night -
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
You sleep?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
I've been trying it out, so what? As I was saying; I was sleeping one night, and someone threw me in a bag and then threw me in that locker. They must have had some spell or something on them because I couldn't read their thoughts. Since then, I've been in that locker WAITING FOR THE PERSON WHO OWNED IT TO OPEN THE DOOR.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Did you get to try sleeping more?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Yes. It's very boring.
23 Collect 25 Aartuk Branches Boring is what I'd call that conversation. Why don't you make things more interesting and pick up some of the aartuk branches?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
So, why are YOU all here?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
We're looking for pieces of the Rod of Seven Parts to defeat Emperor Vecna.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
I hate to tell you, but Vecna is right behind you.
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
Please tell me we're not taking this book with us.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Oh, that's the old boring Vecna. There's a much cooler one now that's trying to take over this multiverse.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Oh, well, then you're in luck. This spelljammer was powered by one of the pieces of the rod.
24 Defeat 25 Enemies You know what really kills aartuks? Thrown books. Why don't you try that twenty-five times or so?
25 Defeat the Aartuk Starhorror If you're done talking you should really get around to killing that starhorror - it WILL kill us otherwise.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
All right, Book, you're coming with us.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Oh, well, I was thinking that maybe I could -
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Here, Astarion, hold the book for a second while I help Zastra with their locker.
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
I don't think that's a -
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Oh, a vampire? Now that's interesting. I haven't read the thoughts of a - WHOA! PUT ME DOWN! THAT IS JUST SO MUCH - WHOA! No, no, no, I'm good on reading his thoughts. WOW.
Xaryxis Portrait AngryShiphand
Shiphand:
That's it, crew! We've had it up to here with Figaro's cowardice! Time to take the ship!
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
Now see here! You will do nothing of the sort! Your survival depends on everyone working together and -
Xaryxis Portrait AngryShiphand
Shiphand:
An authority figure! Get 'em!
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
Great rallying speech there, Knox.
26 Defeat 25 Enemies These shiphands are taking the ship, and you're in the way! Don't let them kill me!
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Ah, well, if it isn't the Sword of Kas. How has my fellow sentient-magic-item been while I was away?
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
...
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Hello? Is anyone in there? Kas, did you dispel your sword or something?
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
I don't feel like speaking.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Oh? And why is that?
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
It's upset that it failed to kill the other me.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
You and I aren't really at the 'jump-into-a-conversation' point of knowing each other yet; what with the whole trying to destroy me last time we met thing.
27 Defeat 25 Enemies If I die in a silly spelljammer mutiny I'm going to be VERY UPSET! DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!
28 Defeat 1 Ship Debris The shiphands are blocking our path! Break up that ship debris!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
...and then we fought a spiderdragon, and now we're here!
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Thank you for that... abridged catchup.
Icon Reya
Reya:
How do you know there's a piece of the rod on this ship?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Because the captain of this ship picked me up after my travel buddy fell overboard. The way this ship manipulated the magic in the rod is FASCINATING.
29 Defeat 25 Enemies The aberrations are joining the fight! Kill them before they kill us!
30 Defeat the Neothelid Looks like the shiphands are running away. Oh, because there's a neothelid. WHOA, NEOTHELID! DEFEAT THE NEOTHELID!
Icon Portrait Vecna Lysan
Lysan:
There - that's the door to the stateroom Figaro is in.
Icon Reya
Reya:
[Knocks on door] Hello? Figaro? My name is Reya and I'm here with Lysan and Zastra -
Icon Portrait Vecna HidingFigaro
Hiding Figaro:
Go away! Don't let them know I'm in here!
Xaryxis Portrait AngryShiphand
Shiphand:
There he is! Break down the door!
Icon Portrait Vecna HidingFigaro
Hiding Figaro:
AHHH!!!!
31 Defeat 25 Enemies These shiphands have terrible timing. Get rid of them!
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
You all, keep fighting the shiphands - let me try talking to him. Mr. Figaro, we require your assistance and in exchange could help -
Icon Portrait Vecna HidingFigaro
Hiding Figaro:
NO! You're just going to kill me as soon as I open the door! You're just like the rest of the crew!
32 Defeat 25 Enemies I still don't understand why you bother talking to people when you can just hurt them. Oh well, fight these enemies before they kill us.
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
Let me try. Yes, hello? Have you considered that we're simply being polite in asking you to open the door and could pick the lock or knock it down if we wanted to? Because that is an option!
Icon Reya
Reya:
Astarion, not helping!
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
You all tried being nice. Sometimes people need to be presented with the reality of the situation.
Icon Portrait Vecna HidingFigaro
Hiding Figaro:
Uh... then... could you get rid of all these people trying to kill me? I... I'll let you in if you do that.
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
Ha! See! What did I tell you?
33 Collect 25 Astral Sea Maps Do any of you know how to get around in the Astral Sea? Better grab those maps just in case - I don't want to get lost out here!
34 Defeat 25 Enemies Ugh, I still think we should just break down the door. But clear out these shiphands if you think that will help.
35 Defeat the Umber Hulk Oh! An umber hulk! Those were so much fun to throw at - well, you all. Kill it before it melts your mind.
Icon Reya
Reya:
All right, Figaro - it's clear out here, can you please open the door now?
Icon Portrait Vecna Figaro
Figaro:
Th - thank you. You.... you promise you're not trying to kill me?
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
Trust us, Figaro, these are good people.
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
[Scoffs] Speak for yourself.
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
Figaro, what's going on with you? This paranoia isn't like you at all.
Icon Portrait Vecna Lysan
Lysan:
Yeah, it's like you've got a brain bug or something burrowing into your brain. Are you feeling all right?
Icon Portrait Vecna Figaro
Figaro:
I.. I just... how would I know if I had a... brain bug or whatever?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Hey, what if you held the Book of Tarchamus? It should be able to read your mind!
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Really? I just got back into the party and you're already volunteering me for things? Ugh. Fine.
36 Defeat 25 Enemies The shiphands sent reinforcements - just like I would have done. But oh well, you didn't listen to me and now you have to fight!
Icon Portrait Vecna Figaro
Figaro:
Uh, what do I do?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Just pick me up. Yes, just like that - all right, let's see. Hmm. Oh, I see.
Icon Reya
Reya:
Everything all right in there?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
No, not at all. Someone has manipulated his mind with magic - strong magic at that.
Icon Reya
Reya:
Can you do anything about it?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Yes, but it will take time. Keep fighting those enemies, or whatever the lich tells you to do.
37 Defeat 25 Enemies Or whatever the - [Scoffs] fight these enemies while I decide what to do with that book.
38 Collect 25 Nothic Claws What? UGH. Blooshi says she needs nothic claws for spell components. Grab as many as you can.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
There! That should do it.
Icon Portrait Vecna Figaro
Figaro:
[Gasps] What the - why was I freaking out? It felt like my mind was clouded with darkness for... weeks!
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Yes, that sort of mind magic will do that.
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
Do you remember who did this to you?
Icon Portrait Vecna Figaro
Figaro:
...Ilren. The last thing I remember was Ilren holding me down and saying some arcane words.
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
Lysan, with me - we need to find Ilren. [Both leave]
Icon Reya
Reya:
Figaro, while they do that, we need your help with something.
39 Defeat 25 Enemies These shiphands really want Figaro dead! Better him than us! ...Ugh, you're going to be heroes about this. Fine, fight them.
Icon Portrait Vecna Figaro
Figaro:
The piece of the rod? Oh, well, the captain kept that in her safe. And the only way to get into it is to speak the passphrase to the security wards hidden in this room and her study.
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
Do you know the passphrase?
Icon Portrait Vecna Figaro
Figaro:
I don't.
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
Of course not. What about destroying it?
Icon Portrait Vecna Figaro
Figaro:
...that might work!
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
Splendid! This group does seem eager to hit things.
40 Defeat the Security Ward Rune Is this why all of wards failed? You all were just hitting them? Well, I guess hit this one too.
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
All right, with that out of the way we better find Zastra and Lysan.
Icon Portrait Vecna Figaro
Figaro:
Wait! Can you help us get off of this corpse? Once you find the rod piece I mean.
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
That's not really why we're here -
Icon Reya
Reya:
Of course. We'll make sure you and your crew get back to the Material Plane.
Icon Portrait Vecna Figaro
Figaro:
Thank you.
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
You fiend! You've poisoned the minds of the crew!
Icon Portrait Vecna Ilren
Ilren:
I've done no such thing! I've simply encouraged them to follow the line of thinking they believe is best. You can't help it if that differs from your own.
Icon Reya
Reya:
Then why did you alter Figaro's mind?
Xaryxis Portrait AngryShiphand
Shiphand:
Lies! Ilren would never do such a thing! Come on, boys! Let's throw 'em in the brig!
41 Defeat 25 Enemies It's gonna be real awkward when it turns out Ilren's a good guy and you're all evil now! Oh well, better fight these shiphands!
42 Defeat 25 Enemies Don't get thrown in the brig, keep being evil!
Icon Portrait Vecna Ilren
Ilren:
You all are jumping to conclusions. You only have the word of one very disturbed man! What evidence do you have that I've done such a thing?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
I looked into his mind and not only found your magic but undid it as well!
Icon Portrait Vecna Ilren
Ilren:
Please - are you all really going to take the word of a Netherese book?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
How did you know I came from Netheril?
Icon Portrait Vecna Ilren
Ilren:
Uh... well...
43 Collect 25 Spelljammer Logs [Sighs] Knox thinks that if you collect those spelljammer logs you can prove that Ilren isn't who he says he is. Collect them, I guess.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
You're the one that threw me in the locker! Look! He's wearing a ring of mind shielding!
Icon Portrait Vecna Ilren
Ilren:
What? This? No, no, this is - uh - just a toy. No magical power at all!
44 Defeat 25 Enemies Just because the aberrations are fighting alongside them doesn't mean you're the good guys. If anything it makes you worse.
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
Give it up! You've done enough damage to this crew!
Icon Portrait Vecna Ilren
Ilren:
No! I - AGH! I'm just a helpless - oh forget it! [Transforms]
Descent Portrait DeathSlaad
Death Slaad:
I would have gotten away with it - if it weren't for you meddling Champions and that book!
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
His true form! Now's our chance - get him!
45 Defeat the Death Slaad FINE! He's a death slaad, you were right - whatever! Kill it before it eats you.
Xaryxis Portrait AngryShiphand
Shiphand:
You mean... he really was evil?
Icon Portrait Vecna Zastra
Zastra:
Yep, and you fell for it! Get the rest of the crew together - Figaro is going to want to chat with you all. Champions, thank you for taking care of this.
Icon Reya
Reya:
We're happy to help.
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
And happy to take our reward.
Icon Reya
Reya:
Astarion.
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
Oh, you're no fun.
Icon Reya
Reya:
We'll return after we find your captain and the piece of the rod. Will you all be fine until then?
Icon Portrait Vecna Lysan
Lysan:
Now that Figaro is back, we'll be fine. Good luck!
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
This corpse certainly is... juicy. Are we sure we can't just jump to the next piece of the ship? This is the Astral Plane after all.
Icon Sgt. Knox
Sgt. Knox:
It's better to get our boots a little messy than possibly overshooting it and tumbling through nothingness forever.
Icon Astarion
Astarion:
...is it?
46 Defeat 25 Enemies Lunar dragons are usually so kind - you must be upsetting them with all your good deeds. Don't get eaten!
47 Defeat 25 Enemies Now I know it's you - solar dragons absolutely don't just attack out of nowhere. Stop being so good and fight!
48 Collect 25 Solar Dragon Scales Collect some of those solar dragon wyrmling scales. No - it's not for Blooshi. I can want things too!
49 Defeat 25 Enemies Uh, it is just me, or does it seem like a lot of wildlife is running our way... like they're running away from something?
50 Defeat the Hertilod A hertilod! That would be what they were running away from! Don't get devoured!
