Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Come ON! You're being SO SLOW today!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
We've been shopping all morning, Havi. Can't we stop and sit?
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
But this is THE hottest new bakery in Waterdeep. I've heard their cakes are to DIE for!
Icon Portrait FortunesWheel Gertrube
Suspicious Baker:
Welcome in, dearies! Pardon the mess - our ingredients have been disagreeable lately.
1 Defeat 25 Enemies What the hells!? There are angry crabs everywhere!
Icon Portrait FortunesWheel Gertrube
Suspicious Baker:
Would you be dears and help corral these crustaceans? There are free treats in it for you!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
DEAL! Time to work up an appetite!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Just once it would be nice if we could have a normal day in this city.
2 Defeat 25 Enemies There's more! Let's crack some chitin!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Why are there crabs in a bakery?
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
For CRAB CAKES, obviously!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
That's not... [Sighs] Just don't let your guard down. Something smells fishy.
Icon Portrait FortunesWheel Gertrube
Suspicious Baker:
Oh, that would be the fish cakes, dear!
Icon Portrait FortunesWheel Gertrube
Suspicious Baker:
They're snipping our special flour! Pins at the ready! Charge!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Hey, watch where you're swinging those things! We're on your side, you stinkin' bakers!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
I don't think they care much about collateral damage.
3 Collect 25 Bags of Flour Let's grab those flour sacks before they scuttle out the door!
4 Defeat 25 Enemies This is fun! Hey, outta my way if you don't wanna get hit!
Icon Portrait FortunesWheel Gertrube
Suspicious Baker:
Stop, stop! What do you think you're doing!?
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
We're HELPING like you ASKED us to do! Stop getting in the way!
Icon Portrait FortunesWheel Gertrube
Suspicious Baker:
That's enough of your 'help'! No treats for you! Release the golem!

Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Yeah? Well your frosting's lumpy and your service is terrible! Way overhyped!
Icon Portrait FortunesWheel Gertrube
Suspicious Baker:
GET OUT!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Fari, come on! It's not worth it! We didn't want your stupid amazing delicious cakes anyway!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
We should have let the crabs eat their cakes.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
I don't THINK that would be very heroic? For the rude baker or for the crabs.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
...Why the crabs?
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Cake can't be part of their natural diet! Merpeople don't bake!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
I don't... [sigh] You're right, though. Heroes help. It doesn't matter that they were rude.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
You're right too. We should have skipped the bakery. Now we're covered in cake mess. Gross.
6 Defeat 25 Enemies These flies must be attracted to all the sugar. Buzz off!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Hey, do you hear shouting? And people running?
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
The City Watch, maybe? And they're chasing someone. Judging from the shadow that just passed over us, their target must be up on the rooftops. Let's check it out.
7 Defeat 25 Enemies Birds can be so annoying. Hey! We're not food!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Why are there seagulls swooping at us!?
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
They want the frosting. Shoo! Shoo! -

[Dashing past] Step aside! Notorious thief coming through!

Was that Esvele? Come on, Havi!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Wait up, Vipes! Ugh, stupid birds!
8 Collect 25 Gull Feathers We're gonna have to go through these gulls!
Icon Black Viper
Black Viper:
That's far enough. The City Watch is one thing, but why am I being chased by strangers covered in filth and feathers?
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
It's us! The Brimstone Angels!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Are we just going by that now?
Icon Black Viper
Black Viper:
Seems you two aren't having the best day. Look, I'm a little busy. Let's - Oh no. They're here!

Touch her and I'll break your legs!
10 Defeat the Assassin Bring it! I won't let anyone hurt my friend!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Esvele, why are there Xaryxians chasing you? Did you steal something from Wildspace?
Icon Black Viper
Black Viper:
It's nothing bad, I promise! Definitely dangerous, though... Maybe I could use some help.
Icon Black Viper
Black Viper:
This way. These alleys are a maze. Makes it easy to disappear.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Or get ambushed!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
What's crawling out of the garbage?
11 Defeat 25 Enemies Get your dirty hands off me, you... dirty hands!

Icon Black Viper
Black Viper:
Did you get all that?
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Someone's smuggling stuff better than you, blah, blah, blah, black market, code of honor, yadda yadda, some things you don't trade. Sounds fun!
Icon Black Viper
Black Viper:
Close enough.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
What's this dump?
Icon Black Viper
Black Viper:
An abandoned inn. I use it to lay low. But it looks like we have guests.

Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Alright! This day's getting better and better! What do we fight next?
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Havi, this is serious. Our friend needs our help to take down a criminal kingpin.

Right, which is why we're attending a party in the North Ward.

Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Only a fool would turn down such a generous offer. I accept -
Icon Gale
Gale:
Preposterous! Backroom dealings such as this serve only to undermine the market and hoard profits for the ignoble and corrupt! I'll be reporting you and your questionable 'associates' to the proper authorities!

Mad Wizard:
A pity. Secrecy is our utmost priority. I'm afraid that you'll all have to die now.

Disguised Havilar:
Fari, shush, inside voice! OH WOW, that is a LOT of gargoyles outside!
26 Defeat 25 Enemies If you're always ready to fight, you don't need to know what's going on!!
Icon NPC VajraSafahr
Vajra:
Gale, report. What did you learn?
Icon Gale
Gale:
The mage claimed to have the backing of powerful masters, and was all too eager to turn to violence.
Icon NPC VajraSafahr
Vajra:
Then it is as we feared. The Arcane Brotherhood is making its move.
Portrait HarvestguardFarideh
Disguised Farideh:
The Arcane Brotherhood? Why would they be involved in a smuggling operation?
Icon Gale
Gale:
Come again?
Portrait Havilar Ballgown
Disguised Havilar:

Well, that's certainly interesting.

Well, Vipes says there's a new super-smuggler who's causing problems, selling stuff they're not supposed to, so we're going to stop them! With my glaive, and optionally Fari's spells.

Portrait HarvestguardFarideh
Disguised Farideh:
First, can we change out of these dresses?
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
You are such a spoilsport - we can totally fight in ballgowns!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Who wears a ballgown in an alley?.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Maybe I WANT to stand out!
Icon Black Viper
Black Viper:
Focus! We've got Zhents trying to flank us.
29 Defeat 25 Enemies These guys are always itching for a fight. Let's do it!

Icon Black Viper
Black Viper:
Another assassin. We must be on the right track. Come on. I know a crooked bookseller who owes me a few favors.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
A bookstore? [Gasps] CHAPBOOKS!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Knock, knock! Anybody home?
Icon Portrait Merchant

Hey! We were here first! Wait your turn!
Icon Portrait Merchant
Shady Bookshop Owner:
I'll d-do whatever you want, just get these c-cultists out of my store! P-please!
31 Defeat 25 Enemies These cultists have no idea who they're messing with!
Icon Black Viper
Black Viper:
I almost feel sorry for them.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Don't. They chose to serve Asmodeus and bring more evil into the world. Maybe they'll think twice now.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Bye! Make better choices!
32 Defeat 25 Enemies More cultists? But, different? Whatever!
33 Collect 25 Books What kind of books do these cultists want anyway?

Information. What do you know about -

[Bursts in] I demand to speak to the owner of this establishment! I have come to collect the grimoire that I am owed!
Icon Portrait Merchant
Shady Bookshop Owner:
Sorry, saer! I just got cleaned out by a bunch of cultists! They made off with all my best spellbooks. Such a shame...
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Do you think me a fool!? Twice I am spurned this day, and I shall not stand for it! [Casts Summon Elemental] Good day! [Leaves in a huff]
35 Defeat the Elementals Stop those elementals! They'll ruin all the books!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Dhadius needs a sandwich or something. That guy is a mess. And YOU! Withholding pre-orders AND stocking boring chapbooks? You're EVIL!
Icon Portrait Merchant
Shady Bookshop Owner:
Thank you!
Icon Black Viper
Black Viper:
Shut it. You're going to let us into the back now.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
[Picking up scattered books] Those elementals really made a mess of this place. Hm? What's this?
Portrait Havilar Pirate
Disguised Havilar:
Wow the stock back here is really limited. It's not a very good bookshop.
Portrait BlackViperPirate
Disguised Black Viper:
It's a front. The real business happens in the back. Way back.
Portrait Farideh Shadowfell

To think there's an entire underground complex hidden behind a trick bookcase...

Portrait Havilar Pirate
Disguised Havilar:
Not with that attitude, bossyboots.

Portrait Farideh Shadowfell
Disguised Farideh:
This must be it. There's more people than I expected. I didn't think it would be a literal market.
Portrait Havilar Pirate
Disguised Havilar:
Yay! More shopping! Do you think they have any fire-proof dog toys? I want to surprise Zoonie.
Portrait Farideh Shadowfell
Disguised Farideh:
Calm. Down. You're going to get us caught.
Portrait BlackViperPirate
Disguised Black Viper:
Look for contraband. I want to know what we're dealing with.
39 Defeat 25 Enemies These thugs must think we're easy marks. Wrong!

Disguised Havilar:
[Dizzy] Tell the Ulkoria in my head I'm just getting started.
Portrait Farideh Shadowfell
Disguised Farideh:
No. There's too many, even for us, especially with your Chosen powers acting up. Let's ditch the disguises and go!
Portrait BlackViperPirate
Disguised Black Viper:
I'll lure away as many of them as I can. HEY, UGLIES! COME AND GET ME! [Dashes away]
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
[Via Sending] Down this path! Two lefts, three rights, then past the spider nests!

42 Defeat 25 Enemies I'm starting to feel better. Let's keep going!
43 Collect 25 Mimic Glue Vials Mimics! We picked up some vials from that glass shop this morning, right? I have an idea!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Now we break these vials all over the floor and...
Icon Farideh

Good thinking! That should slow them down!
44 Defeat 25 Enemies I see spiders! This must be the way out!
45 Defeat the Zombie Spiders I won't let these eight-legged freaks get in our way!

Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Hey, it's that stupid bakery from before!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
I knew there was something suspicious about this place. No sign of those ungrateful bakers. Hey, where's Ulkoria?
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
[Via Sending] There you are! My Scrying sensor couldn't follow you into that place. It must be warded. Are you alright? We're coming to you now!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Ulkoria says we disappeared from her magic eye thing a while ago, and she's on her way to us now. Oh, wait. If that's true, then...
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Then who was telling you where to run?
Descent Portrait Avarice
Avarice:
You follow directions so well. Simpleminded, trusting fools. I would have liked to catch the Viper as well, but I'll deal with her after I finish with you.
46 Defeat 25 Enemies It's an ambush! Get behind me!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
You're Avarice, the ice witch! I've heard of you. The Champions fought you in Icewind Dale. We thought you were dead.
IcewindDale Portrait LichAvarice
Avarice:
Hardly. I'm a lich. I die hard, and with a vengeance.
47 Defeat 25 Enemies Gargoyles again? She must have sent the ones from before too!

Havilar:
We'll stop you, whatever it takes! The Magic Lads can't have Waterdeep!

[Enraged, coughing and sneezing uncontrollably] Argh! What is IN this!? ACHOO! I can't - ACHOO! - fight like this! Curse you - ACHOO! [Teleports]
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
...That's it!? I had a whole other step with frosting and you doing a fireball.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
We found the black market and exposed their leader. Esvele and Vajra's people can handle it from here.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Well, we can't just go back to shopping! Everything will be closed now!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
But we're safe, and we're together. That's what matters most. Here. I got you something. I found it at that sketchy bookshop. To remember our adventure today.
