Hellbound
Travel to Avernus in search of the final rod piece.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Windfall:	Nice place. For kidnappers, you do have some taste.
Reya:	When did you escape your bindings!?
Mordenkainen:	Champions! You return from Oerth still in one piece. And with a guest!
Sgt. Knox:	Careful. She's trouble. Tried to steal our rod pieces.
Alvina:	They know. I've been keeping the wizards informed of your progress.
Blooshi:	Alvina! Who's a good flying magical messenger of a higher power? You are! Yes, you are!
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		Will you stop fawning over that tressym? Those blasted serpents followed us!
Tasha:	Windfall, correct? I'm sure you have a lot of questions.
Windfall:	Nah, I get it.
Reya:	What do you mean you 'get it'?
Windfall:	I mean, kinda obvious.
Windfall:	That's Tasha and Mordenkainen. I smell the stink of Sigil, so this must be Alustriel's sanctum, making this official business of the Wizards Three.
Windfall:	They're working alongside the actual Vecna for reasons, as is Kas, the Betrayer, who famously hates the guy.
Windfall:	Then there's the cavalcade of adventurers world-hopping to find the pieces of the Rod of Seven Parts.
Windfall:	So, there's a problem big enough that it's brought you all together despite your differences, and you need a legendary artifact to deal with it, which must mean the fate of the entire multiverse is at stake. Does that sum it up?
Reya:	[Stunned silence]
Windfall:	Like I said. Obvious. Duh.
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		More of these wretched things! When will it end?
Tasha:	Hey! Those pests got into my candy vault! Bad snakes! Bad!
Blooshi:	Ooo, those are Feywild treats! Dibs on the half-eaten ones!
Alvina:	Me first!
3	Collect 25 Tasha's Treats		Fetch the witch's confections so she'll calm down. Please.
Vecna:	Better?
Tasha:	[Munching] Better.
Mordenkainen:	I must say, Vecna, you've adapted to your new situation remarkably well. We're seeing a part of you I thought rotted away long ago.
Vecna:	That's not an apology for sealing my powers, but I'll accept the praise. This is all, ultimately, my responsibility. I would do anything to fix this.
Tasha:	Seriously, Vecna. Alvina told us how you behaved on Oerth and handled the false Acererak. You could have simply destroyed the simulacrum.
Alustriel:	Instead, you helped the creature. You showed empathy. That's what separates good from evil. We are impressed. You've earned our trust.
Kas:	[Silent contemplation]
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		Pretty words can wait. Focus on the battle at hand. I want these creatures gone!
Sgt. Knox:	That's all well and good, but there's still the matter of finding the final piece of the rod.
Windfall:	It's back at my place.
Astarion:	You just happen to possess the final missing piece?
Windfall:	[Rolling eyes] Yeah. I do.
Reya:	And where exactly is your 'place'?
Windfall:	[Smirking] In hell. Avernus. Heard of it?
Reya:	Yes. We are quite familiar, I assure you.
5	Defeat the Giant Zombie Flying Snake		If I ever see another snake again, it will be too soon. Get rid of these things!
Alustriel:	The portal is ready. Good luck, Champions. May you return to us safely.
Tasha:	Bring back that final piece, and let's put an end to all of this.
Windfall:	[Deep breath] Ahh. Brimstone, anguish, and sin. It's good to be back.
Sgt. Knox:	Where are we? Avernus is a big place, ever-shifting.
Reya:	Haruman's Hill. I'll never forget. So much suffering happened here.
Alvina:	These trees make for macabre scratching posts, but I've had worse.
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		Quasits and imps? It appears we've landed amid a bite-sized Blood War.
Windfall:	So, Feathers, you know this area? Are you a local?
Reya:	In a manner of speaking. It's a long story, but I suppose we have time.
Windfall:	I wouldn't bet on that.
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		These fiends are hardly worth our time. Dispose of them!
Kas:	What is that in the distance? Some manner of devil-forged contraption? It's more colorful than I'd expect.
Blooshi:	That's Mad Maggie's infernal war machine! Let's flag her down. Maybe we can hitch a ride!
Windfall:	You know Mags? You people are more interesting than I thought.
8	Defeat 1 Monsters		These imps are entrenched. Tear down this barricade!
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		Another surge from the quasits, but they're on the back foot now. Finish them!
10	Defeat the Greater Imp		We're almost to the bottom of the hill. One last push!
Mad Maggie:	[Shouting] Pull over, imp!
Kas:	Watch where you're driving! You almost hit me!
Wazzik:	WE'LL AIM BETTER NEXT TIME!
Mad Maggie:	Well, ain't that a curious sight. Champions! Didn't expect you all back here so soon. What brings you around these parts?
Reya:	The fate of all worlds-
Windfall:	Hey Mags! Open up. Need a ride.
Mad Maggie:	Well, I'll be! Little Miss Windfall, as I live and breathe!
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		Those fiends won't give up. They're regrouping for another assault!
Mad Maggie:	Well, what're you standing around for? Clamber on up the old girl. Let's get moving!
Chukka:	Today's forecast: high winds, with a chance of pain.
Clonk:	I knew she was trouble when she walked in!
Windfall:	Good to see you too, birdbrains. New driver?
Mad Maggie:	Balakros? Yep. Used to work for Bel. Now he's with us. Punch it, imp!
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		Now they've taken wing to chase after us! Those little devils don't know when to quit!
Mad Maggie:	Hard left at the bile pits! We need to refuel; lucky for us, I know an old haunted battlefield nearby!
Mad Maggie:	Champions! Snag us some Soul Coins from the restless dead! This baby needs her breakfast!
Blooshi:	Uhh, sure? But we haven't said where we need to go yet.
Windfall:	Don't worry. She already knows. Now, be useful.
13	Collect 25 Soul Coins		Take the Soul Coins from these vengeful spirits to fuel this machine.
Mad Maggie:	So, the fate of the world? What is it this time?
Reya:	Vecna seeks to destroy and reshape reality as we know it.
Mad Maggie:	Again? Oh, wait. Reya, now don't panic, but he's right behind you.
Reya:	A different Vecna. This one's with us. This time, anyway.
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		Are they talking about me? I can't hear them over the roaring engine.
Mad Maggie:	Alright, spill it, Little Miss. How did you end up with these bleeding hearts? They're a far cry from your usual crews.
Windfall:	Oh, just work stuff. I robbed them, they abducted me, you know how it goes.
Mad Maggie:	Standard affair.
15	Defeat the Animated Armor		Looks like that construct guards this battlefield, and it's not happy with our intrusion. Get ready!
Reya:	So, what have you been up to? No more profiting off of our likenesses, I hope.
Mad Maggie:	We've got a contract with Zariel now. She pays us for deliveries, demon hunts, and generally to make a mess of things for old Bel. I haven't had this much fun in ages!
Wazzik:	WE'RE INDUSTRY DISRUPTORS!
Mad Maggie:	Oh! I'm getting a sending. Hailing frequencies open: you've got Mad Maggie. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Mm. Yeah, that's a problem. Boys! Change of plans! We're needed back at the base!
Balakros:	The quickest way is through this hellwasp nest, ma'am!
Mad Maggie:	Make it so!
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		Looks like we're taking a detour through a hellwasp nest. This is going to get messy.
Astarion:	Did the hag say we've rerouted? Where the hells is she taking us?
Reya:	Fort Knucklebone. It's perfectly safe.
Astarion:	We're in hell, darling.
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		Swat these buzzing beasts!
Mad Maggie:	Those stingers look sharp. Be a dear and grab me some! Zariel pays good coin for those!
Wazzik:	IT'S A BUG BOUNTY!
18	Collect 25 Hellwasp Stingers		You heard the hag. Bag those stingers!
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		There's no end to these hellwasps! Don't falter!
20	Defeat the Hellwasp Queen		Clip the queen's wings, and the rest of the hive will back down!
Balakros:	We've broken through! Next stop: Fort Knucklebone!
Blooshi:	I'm really glad you're back with us, Alvina. I missed you.
Alvina:	As well, you should! My presence is a blessing. The Kittenlord expects great things from you, Blooshi. It falls on me to see to your training.
Blooshi:	My training? Like, you'll teach me kitten magic?
Alvina:	But of course! We'll begin with theory. Now, for your first lesson.
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		What's that tressym up to? Nevermind. We have more imps moving to intercept!
Alvina:	Let's review. What have you learned?
Blooshi:	If I fits, I sits! Food is better when it's not yours! Knock stuff off of high places to see what happens! Rub my face on stuff! And scream until I get what I want!
Alvina:	Very good! Gold star! Life is an open door, Blooshi. Go out there and come back in, over and over, as your whims demand.
Mad Maggie:	Quiet back there! We're pulling into the fort now!
Mad Maggie:	What the!? Where did all these critters come from!?
Windfall:	Ugh, what a pain. Mags, rally your people. Birdbrains, see to the injured.
Chukka:	The doctor is in!
Windfall:	Feathers lead the charge. Let's clean up this mess and get this show back on the road.
Reya:	We don't take orders from you, thief.
Windfall:	You do if you want that final rod piece. Well?
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		The fort is overrun with vermin! Time for some pest control!
Windfall:	Now, was that so hard?
Reya:	We ARE helping, but it's because it's the right thing to do.
Windfall:	Whatever you say, sweetheart.
Sgt. Knox:	Fire! These little beasties are wreaking havoc!
Blooshi:	Aww, I never knew arson could be so adorable!
Kas:	[Deep sigh] We once commanded armies of darkness. Now we're fighting squirrels. How has it come to this?
Vecna:	[Amused chuckle] You know as well as I that stranger things have happened. Perhaps it is our penance.
Kas:	You may be right, lich. Reminds me of the old days. To battle, then.
23	Defeat 10 Fires		Put out those fires before they spread!
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		These skittering nuisances are everywhere! Deal with them!
Sgt. Knox:	That tree blight must be the source of the infestation!
Astarion:	Oh, is it? The big evil tree crawling with demon squirrels? Karlach failed to mention how utterly ridiculous Avernus could be.
25	Defeat the Tree Blight		A tree blight swarming with evil squirrels! Amusing but deadly. Chop it down!
Mad Maggie:	Aw, hells. That thing made an awful mess. I'll have to stay here and sort all this out. Champions, I'll make you a deal. You can borrow the war machine, IF you help finish our latest job for Zariel.
Reya:	Of course. It shall be done.
Astarion:	Reya, please ask for details before agreeing to heroics.
Mad Maggie:	Balakros! I want you back in the driver's seat. And take Wazzik! It's dangerous to go alone. I'd wish you luck, but you've already got her.
Windfall:	Take care, Mags, you stubborn old bat. I'll try to come around more often.
Astarion:	What is this mission, anyway?
Balakros:	Goristro. Huge war demon with stolen cargo. Zariel wants it taken down and the goods returned.
Astarion:	You must be joking, imp.
Balakros:	Balakros, and I'm no joker. Heads up. We've got company.
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		Chasmes! These flying fiends will tear us apart if they get the chance!
Astarion:	Isn't Zariel the terrifying fallen angel that rules Avernus?
Reya:	Not anymore. Bel took over. Zariel returned to the light. My blade is proof of her redemption. Her power flows through me.
Windfall:	Wait, WHAT!?
Windfall:	Feathers, YOU are Zariel's chosen? You're the ones who took her down and liberated Elturel?
Reya:	I was a different person then. A Hellrider but not yet a hero. I was angry, vengeful, full of righteous rage, and shortsighted valor. Not unlike Zariel herself. The Champions opened my eyes, and hers.
Windfall:	[Explosive laughter]
Reya:	That's not the reaction I was expecting.
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		More chasmes! Swat them down!
Windfall:	[Wiping away tears] Oh goddess, that's hilarious. Sorry, just WOW. You people are something else.
Reya:	I don't understand. What's so amusing?
Balakros:	Comedy hour can wait! We're entering the ash clouds!
Wazzik:	SKULLS! SKULLS! SKULLS! SKULLS! SKULLS! SKULLS! EVERYBODY!
Balakros:	Wazzik has a collection of painted skulls back home. He'll keep screaming until he gets more.
Blooshi:	Oh, wow! It's just like Alvina said!
28	Collect 25 Extinguished Flameskulls		We need those skulls to silence this screeching madcap! Now!
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		These flameskulls are going to keep coming until we leave the ash clouds. Stand firm!
30	Defeat the Magma Mephit		All this commotion has riled up a magma mephit. Deal with it!
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		These burning boneheads won't let us leave! Stomp out their flames!
Balakros:	We're out! That's a new personal best for navigating the ash clouds. It's my lucky day!
Windfall:	[Yawns] Uh-huh. Sure.
Balakros:	It should be a smooth ride now if we reach the target first. Rival gangs might want the same bounty.
Windfall:	You just had to say it. [Sighs] And here we go, in three, two, one.
Sgt. Knox:	Look alive, people! We've got bandits boarding the war machine! To arms!
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		Where did these hellish highwaymen come from!? Dispose of them!
33	Collect 25 Infernal Orders		These bandits are organized. Search them. See what you can learn.
Kas:	These orders are written in Infernal. It seems they are bound to a cambion who serves Bel.
Astarion:	It must be one of the rival gangs the imp mentioned.
Reya:	Indeed. Strange timing and ill fortune. For them, anyway. We'll need to deal with these bandits.
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		It's another wave of bandits hellbent on stopping our charge!
35	Defeat the Cambion		There's the leader! Cut down that cambion!
Balakros:	You crushed them! That's going to make things easier for our gang. Lucky thing you were here, or else I would have had to turn tail and flee.
Windfall:	[Annoyed groan]
Astarion:	What's her problem?
Reya:	She's probably just eager to get this hunt over with. Then she can go home, and we can secure the final rod piece.
Wazzik:	YOU ARE APPROACHING YOUR DESTINATION!
Balakros:	You'll need to go on foot from here. I can't risk the war machine being destroyed. Happy hunting!
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		These wretched dretches can't stop us. Mow them down!
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		These pathetic things aren't worth our time! Get them gone!
Kas:	Ah. I see now why the driver refused to bring us closer.
Sgt. Knox:	Right. Looks like this pack of fiends already clawed apart another war machine.
Reya:	I'm sure Mad Maggie would appreciate any spare parts we could recover after what happened at the fort.
Astarion:	Lucky for her, we have so many packs and pockets we can stuff.
Blooshi:	Hey, uhh, new friend? Are you okay?
Windfall:	[Seething frustration] YEAH. Doing GREAT. Thanks.
38	Collect 25 War Machine Parts		Tear apart these fiends and collect that infernal scrap!
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		We've almost reached the target! Clear out this last line of defense!
Blooshi:	Whoa. That thing's huge! I bet it has huge guts!
Astarion:	This will be difficult. It certainly doesn't help that we're standing knee-deep in dead demons.
Kas:	It could be worse. Now, get ready. Time to rip and tear until it is done.
Sgt. Knox:	Where's Deekin when we need him? Epic battles should have music.
40	Defeat the Undead Goristro		There's the target! Take down that brutal foul goristro!
Reya:	The goristro falls! Now, to secure Zariel's stolen cargo, whatever it is.
Astarion:	I assume that would be the large cage it carried, which it smashed to pieces as it fell. Pity.
Haughty Unicorn:	Yet I emerge unscathed from my confinement! Huzzah!
Blooshi:	A unicorn? THAT'S what we're supposed to bring back?
Balakros:	You're back! How'd it go?
Sgt. Knox:	It was a bloody battle, but we won. The package is secured, though the creature isn't exactly grateful for our efforts.
Haughty Unicorn:	Oh, woe is me! From one cage to another! When shall I ever be free?
Reya:	You're not our prisoner. We rescued you from those demons. You'll be returned to Zariel soon.
Haughty Unicorn:	Lies! You, violent ruffians, bear the stench of Avernus! You are minions of the foul lord Bel sent to torment me for eternity!
Windfall:	Keep talking like that, and I just might.
Kas:	We've held up our end of the deal, imp. Now, take us where we need to go.
Balakros:	You got it, boss. Next stop: The Red Belvedere.
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		The fires of hell rise against us! Extinguish these elementals!
Blooshi:	Red Bell Pepper? Do you live in a giant vegetable?
Windfall:	You are SO cute. No, sweetie. The Red Belvedere is a temple of Tiamat and one of the oldest structures you'll find in Avernus.
Haughty Unicorn:	I knew it! You're taking me there to be sacrificed to your Dragon Queen! Let me go! I demand liberty!
Astarion:	And they call me dramatic.
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		These elementals burn hot enough to warp the metal of the war machine. Keep them away!
43	Collect 25 Hellfire Cubes		Those babaus are using magic items to summon the elementals! Teach them not to play with fire!
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		Another wave! Drive them back!
Haughty Unicorn:	No more! I refuse this fate! The hounds of hell will not butcher me! I rally against you, evil ones! I escape! I flee!
Sgt. Knox:	That mad unicorn just leaped off the war machine! The demons will tear him to shreds!
Reya:	Pull over!
Haughty Unicorn:	Better to die free than surrender to hell's corruption. I lay down my life in the name of sweet Zariel!
Reya:	You don't understand! You're not listening!
Astarion:	Reya. We talked about this. Words can't sway every heart.
Reya:	FINE, Astarion. Take him. We can heal him afterward. It's for his own good.
45	Defeat the Haughty Unicorn		Knock out that unicorn so we can proceed again in peace!
Sgt. Knox:	Let's tie him up and stow him in the hold. He can whinny and whinge all he wants.
Reya:	Let's just go.
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		More imps incoming! Prepare for battle!
Kas:	These imps are trained and armored. And I know that look in their eyes. They hate us.
Windfall:	You've got to be kidding me. Do you all have a nemesis in hell? What am I saying? Of course, you do. Let's get this over with.
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		Someone is commanding this legion. Push through and find them!
48	Collect 25 Celestial Feathers		Now spined devils join the fray. What's that stuck to their spines?
Reya:	These are from fallen celestials. What horror is this?
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		There! The devils rally to their commander! Break through their ranks!
Lucille:	Oh, how I've waited for this day. Greetings, Champions. Time to die.
Astarion:	Friend of yours?
Reya:	No! You should be dead! You couldn't have survived the blast!
Lucille:	Lord Bel saw fit to restore my body and allow my quest for revenge. Now, I shall break you, pull you apart, and make you beg for the end.
Reya:	You'll do nothing but fail and flee, as you've always done!
50	Defeat the Scarred Lucille		That pit fiend will stop at nothing to destroy us. Defy her! We cannot fall here!
Windfall:	That's ENOUGH. Just get out of here, Lucy. They're with me.
Lucille:	Oh. Uh. I didn't see you there, Windfall.
Windfall:	Yeah, well, you do now. BYE Lucille.
Lucille:	Yeah. Um. Bye. [Starts to leave, turns around] Are we still on for mimosa night?
Windfall:	[Loud sigh] Yeah, we're still on for mimosa night. Bring chips.
Reya:	Who ARE you!?
