Transcript[]
| Distract the Cult of Dragons by taking the battle to the slopes of Mount Tiamat. | ||||||
| Area | Goal | Quests & Cinematics | ||||
Ravengard: |
"I think that's the last of our force being teleported in. It's time to get moving -- and moving quickly." | |||||
Laeral: |
"You have my thanks for leading this expedition on behalf of the Lords' Alliance, Duke Ravengard. I know how much rebuilding work remains to be done in Elturel." | |||||
Ravengard: |
"No thanks are necessary, Lady Silverhand. For if the five Tests of Tiamat can't help clear the way for Elminster and his group to vanquish the Dragon Queen, then all our rebuilding in Elturel will be for naught." | |||||
Asharra: |
"The path that brings us here has been a dark one. When Elturel was returned to the world, all seemed like it might be well again. But the shadow of Avernus will see itself cast across the world anew, and must be brought to the light." | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"Light and steel this troop has in plenty. Duke Ravengard, Lady Silverhand, we're here and ready to follow. We await your orders." | |||||
Ravengard: |
"Then hear them now! This mission of all the five tests of Tiamat that Elminster set out might well be the most crucial... and the most dangerous. The main forces of the Cult of the Dragon are assembling on the newly christened Mount Tiamat. Our job is to disrupt those forces by making them believe the mountain is under attack.." | |||||
Laeral: |
"For Elminster and his team to have any chance, we must pull as many defenders to us as we can, from across the mountain. The route we mean to follow takes us inside and out. We need to hit them, and hit them hard." | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"It shall be done. Champions! Form ranks on Duke Ravengard! Stay close and move quickly. The battle for Mount Tiamat begins!" | |||||
| 1 | Defeat 25 Axe Beaks | The forested base of Mount Tiamat is swarming with axe beaks! Time to get this raiding party started! | ||||
| 2 | Defeat 25 Axe Beaks | As fast as you drive them from the clearing, more axe beaks race toward you! | ||||
Ravengard: |
"There! The mouth of that old mine is our way inside. Everyone move quickly." | |||||
Ishi: |
"Getting inside very quickly is a very good idea. Look. Look!" | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"Tempus's fire! Chromatic dragons are taking off from the mountain in swarms!" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"But look what they're responding to! Aurinax and the metallic dragons have come! They'll be our air support, keeping the chromatic dragons' aerial forces occupied while we make our way up the outside of the mountain." | |||||
Asharra: |
"I've never seen such a fight before." | |||||
Laeral: |
"And if all of us are lucky, no one in Faerûn will ever see such a battle again. Duke Ravengard, use our sending stone to let the other teams know the metallic dragons have come -- and that we all need to move quickly." | |||||
| 3 | Collect 25 Axe Beak Feathers | This cave entrance marks the start of your route up the mountain -- and collecting feathers from these axe beaks might bring you luck for the journey. Get to plucking! | ||||
| 4 | Defeat 25 Abyssal Chickens | Getting inside the cave means getting past the swarm of abyssal chickens that guard the place! | ||||
| 5 | Defeat the Feral White Abishai | The feral white abishai who watches over this fiendish flock makes a stand to hold you here! | ||||
Wulfgar: |
"That fight was a little too loud. I know we're meant to draw the cult's forces toward us, but I'd rather we were farther along before they know we're here. We don't want them locking us down at the mountain's base." | |||||
Laeral: |
"Then it's imperative that we move through these tunnels and up onto the slope of the mountain quickly." | |||||
Asharra: |
"And we will need to hope that abishai are the worst of the defenders the cult has guarding these old mines. Come!" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"Everyone move quickly. If any dragons catch sight of the destruction outside the entrance, we want to be well outside before they come exploring." | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"Hold! There's a slithering sound coming from ahead that I recognize. I don't think dragons or abishai are the defenders we need to worry about!" | |||||
| 6 | Defeat 25 Hellwasp Larvae | Hellwasp larvae promise that your shortcut through the mines won't be uneventful! | ||||
| 7 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Adult hellwasps drawn to the shrieking of their larvae are quick to join the fight! | ||||
| 8 | Collect 25 Hellwasp Stingers | The sheer number of hellwasps threatens to overwhelm you! Cutting the stingers off some of them might help tip the fight in your favor! | ||||
Asharra: |
"Someone moving ahead in the dark! There! Watch yourselves!" | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"White abishai patrol! Time to get this assault underway. Everyone stay close! Hit them hard, and don't be afraid to let them run! The more reports they can spread to the forces inside the mountain, the better our chances to draw them to us!" | |||||
Ishi: |
"And what happens if we end up drawing too many of them to us?" | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"Then we fight harder! This will be a battle to remember!" | |||||
| 9 | Defeat 25 Enemies | A white abishai patrol is drawn to the sound of the hellwasp clash -- and they're driving a flock of hungry abyssal chickens before them! | ||||
Laeral: |
"Someone's shouting ahead. It sounds like we've attracted the attention of a commander." | |||||
Ishi: |
"No... I recognize that accent. It's a young red! Surly and spiteful." | |||||
Ravengard: |
"Excellent. It's time to get their attention." | |||||
Young Red Dragon: |
"Abishai fools. Worthless cur fiends. You can't handle the incursion of a few opportunistic adventurers? Let the true heirs of Tiamat show you how it's done." | |||||
Ravengard: |
"It looks like the true heirs of Tiamat have problems counting. Do we look like a few adventurers to you, dragon?" | |||||
Young Red Dragon: |
"What is this? What is this?! A mercenary war band comes forth? Is it plunder you seek? Or do you wish to sacrifice yourselves to the Dragon Queen's glory?" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"We seek to teach the upstart dragons a lesson. Jumped-up lizards claiming their Dragon Queen has come back to the world? You should know that world is laughing at you." | |||||
Young Red Dragon: |
"What impertinence. Kill them! Kill them all!" | |||||
| 10 | Defeat the Young Red Dragon | As the white abishai regroup for another assault, this young red dragon and their wyrmling hunting pack mean to be your end! | ||||
Asharra: |
"A bunch of the wyrmlings are falling back to regroup. I saw some scattering, but the rest look like they're working up a counterattack." | |||||
Ravengard: |
"Excellent. We keep thinning their ranks as word spreads, we'll have them right where we want them." | |||||
Laeral: |
"We need to focus more on where we are. If they bring their full forces against us, we don't want to be trapped here." | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"Agreed. There's sunlight ahead. We're near an egress onto the mountain. Let's move!" | |||||
| 11 | Defeat 25 Red Dragon Wyrmlings | The surviving red dragon wyrmlings pursue you as you make your first foray along the mountainside. Move quickly! | ||||
| 12 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The metallic dragons are keeping you safe from attack from the air, but hunting squads of white abishai and abyssal chickens press you along the mountain slope! | ||||
Wulfgar: |
"The abyssal chickens are scattering. But there are more abishai on the move!" | |||||
Ishi: |
"Let them come! Room to fight on these slopes means the more the merrier!" | |||||
| 13 | Collect 25 Symbols of Tiamat | Black abishai join the fight with their kin! Claiming the symbols of Tiamat these fiends wear might break their resolve! | ||||
| 14 | Defeat 25 White Abishai | The black abishai fall back toward the rocky cliffs ahead, leaving the white abishai to redouble their assault! | ||||
Ravengard: |
"The abishai are falling back against the cliffs! Keep at them! If we push them hard, they'll have nowhere to go." | |||||
Ishi: |
"No! They're trying to draw us in. They've got some surprise waiting for us." | |||||
Laeral: |
"There's some manner of ritual magic in play. They're summoning something! Watch yourselves!" | |||||
| 15 | Defeat the Bone Devil | Along the cliffs, the black abishai's retreat has allowed them to call a bone devil to their aid! Hit all these fiends hard! | ||||
Ravengard: |
"The abishai didn't like our dealing with their summoned pet. They're waiting for us to move against them again." | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"Perhaps we should let them think we've had enough. I saw a group of them fall back to another mine tunnel ahead. I'm sure they won't expect us to flee with them." | |||||
Ravengard: |
"An idea worth trying. Everyone, into the mountain once more! And don't be shy about showing the abishai the way out!" | |||||
| 16 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Pushing back into the mines puts one group of abishai ahead and another group behind you! Keep moving to keep them off guard! | ||||
| 17 | Defeat 25 Red Dragon Wyrmlings | Red dragon wyrmlings on patrol can't stand in your way. Push through! | ||||
Laeral: |
"Is there any sign of more dragons down the tunnels?" | |||||
Ishi: |
"No sight of them. No scent of them. I'm guessing these ones came from outside... through that entrance there!" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"Then let's make this an especially short shortcut. Back outside! If there are more dragons following those wyrmlings, we don't want to fight them here!" | |||||
| 18 | Clear the Burning Debris | Back on the mountainside, piles of burning debris block your path. And packs of lesser imps in service to the cult look to take advantage of you being hemmed in! | ||||
| 19 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Another pack of red wyrmlings homes in on you! And their shrieking battle cries are going to draw more trouble soon enough! | ||||
Asharra: |
"Eyes up! Bigger dragons are on the move!" | |||||
Laeral: |
"Two young reds! And too afraid to get into the fight in the air. They're looking at us as an easier target." | |||||
Ravengard: |
"Excellent. Let them think that just long enough to get within reach. Everyone spread out! Watch for their breath attacks! Then hit them hard!" | |||||
| 20 | Defeat two Young Red Dragons | Two young red dragons respond to their kin's call! But you'll need to fight past these wyrmlings to get to them! | ||||
| 21 | Defeat 25 Red Dragon Wyrmlings | With their elder siblings dispensed with, the last of the furious red wyrmlings try to take you down! | ||||
Wulfgar: |
"That stench on the air... blood and brimstone. I'll recognize the infernal reek of Avernus for the rest of my life." | |||||
Laeral: |
"In addition to dragons, Tiamat must be drawing fiendish servants to her as well." | |||||
Asharra: |
"There! There's a pack of them flying in! And they're looking like they want to finish what the dragons started!" | |||||
| 22 | Defeat 25 Enemies | This force of spined devils bears down on you -- just as a pack of abyssal chickens decides to swarm the field! | ||||
| 23 | Clear the Burning Debris | More piles of burning debris give the spined devils a chance to pin you down! Push through while you can! | ||||
| 24 | Defeat 25 Red Dragon Wyrmlings | Another pack of red dragon wyrmlings sets up an opportunistic assault! Don't let them get away! | ||||
Asharra: |
"We have two different ways to proceed. But which route to take?" | |||||
Ishi: |
"Oh! There! Tents!" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"Well spotted, Ishi. That's some kind of combat post. Taking it down will ensure that the entire mountain knows we're here." | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"That'll be a risk. It means the fight gets even harder from here on in." | |||||
Ishi: |
"As we knew it would. None of us are afraid, Wulfgar. All of us are ready." | |||||
Laeral: |
"Indeed, if our forces are as ready as you, Ishi, it will bode well for all five trials. And for this trial, I concur. Champions! Let these servants of Tiamat know who they face this day!" | |||||
| 25 | Defeat the Hezrou | Along the cliffs, Tiamat's abishai forces have set up a command post -- with a hezrou demon fighting at their side! | ||||
Asharra: |
"The hezrou is down! And the white abishai have scattered!" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"Stay after them! No quarter for these fiends!" | |||||
Ishi: |
"I thought I saw a pack of them disappear along the cliff ahead... yes! There! Another mine entrance!" | |||||
Laeral: |
"That might be a well-timed distraction indeed. Let Tiamat's forces seek us here, just in time for us to appear even farther up the mountain. Everyone, let's move!" | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"Lots of tracks through here. And judging by the decor, Tiamat's forces have already taken over this area." | |||||
Ravengard: |
"They must be setting up the upper-level mines as quarters for the armies she expects to draw to her side. Fiends and dragon cultists to start with. But evil creatures from across Faerûn will flock to her banner soon enough." | |||||
Laeral: |
"Disrupting whatever operations are ongoing here will bring even more of the Dragon Queen's defenders in our direction. So be it. There's no turning back now." | |||||
| 26 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Abyssal chickens wander these inhabited areas of the mines -- and their incessant squawking attracts the spined devils on guard here! | ||||
| 27 | Defeat 25 Black Abishai | The devils fall quickly, even as a squad of black abishai push in! | ||||
| 28 | Collect 25 Singed Bones | Red dragon wyrmlings have been playing breath-weapon target practice with the bones of their ancient kin. Clearing them out will give you more room to move on the battlefield! | ||||
| 29 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Trying to get away from the wyrmlings leads you into another abyssal chicken pack! Don't let them surround you! | ||||
Ravengard: |
"Everyone stay close! I can see an egress onto the mountain ahead! We just need to get through the last of the Dragon Queen's forces here!" | |||||
Ishi: |
"Look again! These are just her vanguard forces! Two young red dragons inbound! No, three!" | |||||
Asharra: |
"We must get past the abishai and the wyrmlings, or these three will pin us down in the last reaches of the mine. And if they do, we won't escape!" | |||||
| 30 | Defeat three Young Red Dragons | Drawn to the sound of fighting, three young red dragons and a force of black abishai mean to make these mines your tomb! | ||||
Asharra: |
"Look to the sky! Fire and lightning! The dragon battle in the air is more intense than ever. But who has the upper hand?" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"They're moving too quickly to tell. So we need to move just as quickly. If the metallic dragons are forced to retreat, there'll be nothing to stop the chromatics from bearing down on us!" | |||||
| 31 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Your attempt to move quickly across the mountain again is hindered by abyssal chickens -- and by the black abishai in close pursuit! | ||||
| 32 | Defeat 25 Red Dragon Wyrmlings | The larger chromatic dragons remain occupied by the force of metallic defenders -- but this pack of red wyrmlings has slipped through the aerial lines! | ||||
Asharra: |
"The abishai are making a strong stand, but I can see them massing in ever-greater numbers across the mountainside. We haven't got their full attention yet." | |||||
Laeral: |
"Then we'll need to do so, and quickly. Tiamat's abishai are noted for their zealous dedication to the Dragon Queen. Let's make it clear why we're here." | |||||
Ravengard: |
"Agreed. Then any momentum we gain, we need push for their main encampments as quickly as we can. Champions, with me!" | |||||
| 33 | Collect 25 Symbols of Tiamat | A force of white and black abishai throw down against you! Tearing free the symbols of their dragon queen will disrupt their will to fight! | ||||
| 34 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The white abishai fall back to regroup, leaving room in the ranks for the red wyrmlings to advance! | ||||
Ravengard: |
"We're nearly at the main encampment! Keep moving!" | |||||
Green Abishai: |
"Destroy these rabble! Teach these filth the lesson that all will learn for defying the will of the Dragon Queen!" | |||||
Laeral: |
"You speak of Tiamat's will? You make me laugh, fiend. Even now, your so-called queen negotiates her place as the servant of humanoid overseers. The Cult of the Dragon has done a fine job turning the Well of Dragons into a cell for its latest vassal. Mount Tiamat you call this place? Tiamat's Folly, I would name it." | |||||
Green Abishai: |
"Lies! Your contempt will cost you, humanoid! Tiamat's faithful! Destroy them to the last, but leave the silver-haired witch to me!" | |||||
| 35 | Defeat the Green Abishai | At a cliffside command post before the main camp, a force of white abishai under the control of a green abishai leader mean to make this your last stand! | ||||
Ishi: |
"We've got company! Abishai and cultists are on the move on both sides of that stockade wall." | |||||
Ravengard: |
"We need to move with them. Keep pushing! Don't let them surround us! No quarter for the servants of the Dragon Queen!" | |||||
| 36 | Defeat 25 Red Dragon Wyrmlings | You've reached the main camp where Tiamat's followers are amassing -- and where all these servants of evil will make their last stand! | ||||
| 37 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Black abishai and Cult of the Dragon initiates fight side by side in an attempt to pin you down! | ||||
| 38 | Collect 25 Red Dragon Scales | As the red dragon wyrmlings advance once more, you can take advantage of an abyssal chicken distraction to collect valuable dragon scales! Grab them up! | ||||
Asharra: |
"Vrock demons are heading our way! That blue abishai is ordering every servant at their command into the fight!" | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"And doing a good job of pinning us down in the process. We need to draw that fiend out. Abishai! What manner of worm wearing dragon scales are you, hiding behind the screeching and squawking of your forces. Does your Dragon Queen reward those who cower away from the fight?" | |||||
Blue Abishai: |
"You think to goad me, human? Your ploys are as desperate as your chances in this fight -- and your chances grow slimmer moment by moment." | |||||
Ishi: |
"He's not taking the bait. We'll have to get to him the old-fashioned way. Come on!" | |||||
| 39 | Defeat 25 Enemies | As abyssal chickens mob you, a pack of demonic vrocks flies in to join the fray! | ||||
| 40 | Defeat the Blue Abishai | The blue abishai who controls the camp orders a mob of spined devils and red wyrmlings to take you down! | ||||
Ishi: |
"Well, that blue abishai did stand up in the end. I'll give them points for that." | |||||
Asharra: |
"Hopefully that'll be small consolation prize in whatever accursed corner of the Nine Hells respawns them. The camp is in chaos. It's time to move on. And up?" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"And up. Gods be praised, but I honestly didn't think we'd make it this far." | |||||
Laeral: |
"And having come this far, there's no turning back. This last leg up the mountain will bring us within sight of the Well of Dragons. We'll have every defender on the mountain at our heels. This will be a fight greater than any of us have seen before. And having stood at the height of the mountain, will Tiamat's forces around us..." | |||||
Asharra: |
"There might not be a way down. We all understand, Lady Silverhand." | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"And I say with all due respect, my lady, that we'll make our way back as sure as we made our way here. And we'll have a tale to share with our friends when we do." | |||||
Laeral: |
"I admire your optimism, Asharra, Wulfgar. And your spirit. May we all share some part of it as we do what must be done. Champions! The final stage of the battle is upon us! All hangs in the balance now! The endgame is here!" | |||||
| 41 | Defeat 25 Red Dragon Wyrmlings | As you push along the final leg of the journey up the mountain, a horde of red dragon wyrmlings means to stop you! | ||||
| 42 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Dragon cultists drive spined devils before them as they stay back to attack from range! | ||||
Ishi: |
"More cultists on the way in! And these ones are wearing the fancy robes!" | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"We'll, we'd better put on our most polite welcome, then. And be sure to lighten the load of all that cult gear they're carrying..." | |||||
| 43 | Collect 25 Wearer of Purple Masks | A throng of Wearers of Purple take up the cult assault! Collecting their symbolically powerful masks should take them down a notch or two! | ||||
Ishi: |
"The Wearers of Purple are on the run! Not so brave without your funny masks, are you?" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"We might just have punched a hole straight through the cult's leadership structure. They'll be scrambling to reassert control." | |||||
Laeral: |
"Then we should do our best to ensure that hole breaks wide open. Duke Ravengard, alert the other teams with a sending. Champions! The entrance to the Well of Dragons lies ahead! For the fate of Faerûn, follow me!" | |||||
| 44 | Defeat 25 Enemies | A wall of cultists stands before the Well of Dragons entrance -- but you'll need to fight your way past these red dragon wyrmlings to reach them! | ||||
Red Abishai: |
"Close ranks! The unbelievers shall not pass us this day! The sanctity of the Well of Dragons shall not be corrupted by their presence!" | |||||
Ishi: |
"There's a whole army ahead! And they're coming right at us!" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"As daunting as they appear, this is only half the army the cult and Tiamat would have been able to array against us had we not made the challenge we've made so far." | |||||
Laeral: |
"Listen. Listen! The sounds of battle come from the Well of Dragons! The assault of Elminster and his forces has begun!" | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"Then we need to make sure the numbers of the Dragon Queen's servants is smaller still! Forward! Hold the abishai here! Draw them forth from the well! For the Sword Coast! For Icewind Dale! For Faerûn!" | |||||
| 45 | Defeat the Red Abishai | As the wyrmlings continue to harry you, abishai defenders pour forth from the entrance to the Well of Dragons! Hit them hard! | ||||
| 46 | Defeat 25 Enemies | As you push ever onward, Tiamat's forces make their stand. Do everything you can to make it a last stand! | ||||
Laeral: |
"The noise of the battle is intensifying! The Dragon Queen's fury threatens to shake the mountain apart!" | |||||
Asharra: |
"And the black abishai are responding. They're falling back to regroup!" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"Would that we had that luxury, but we can't slow the advance. Keep pushing! Keep Tiamat's servants focused on us!" | |||||
| 47 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The forces of the cult and the dragons they worship wash against you like a living tide! | ||||
| 48 | Collect 25 Black Abishai Weapons | As the black abishai take point once more, their assault is overwhelming! Disarming some of them might help tip the balance in this fight! | ||||
| 49 | Defeat 25 Enemies | White abishai step up to hold the line where their allies fall -- with forces of red wyrmlings and cult initiates close behind! | ||||
Ishi: |
"Oh. Oh! Oh oh oh oh! Everybody, eyes up!" | |||||
Asharra: |
"The dragons' aerial fight is chaos. The chromatic dragons are breaking! They can see Tiamat's forces on the ground falling back under our assault!" | |||||
Ishi: |
"I think that big red one missed that memo. It's coming in! And it's coming in fast!" | |||||
Ancient Red Dragon: |
"Maggots! Vermin! You defile my mistress's resting place? You shed the blood of her servants? You will feel the wrath of dragon fire for your insolence! Your blood will burn like tallow! And before the last embers of your life are spent, the Dragon Queen will consume you whole!" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"I've heard ranting like yours before, dragon, from would-be terrors of the world and the Nine Hells alike. I've stood in fire and been tested. And I did not win that test and save my city only to fall to one such as you!" | |||||
| 50 | Defeat the Ancient Red Dragon | This ancient red dragon has broken through the last of the metallic dragon's aerial cordon to make an example of you all! One way or another, this fight ends here! | ||||
Ishi: |
"Is it... done? Is it...?" | |||||
Asharra: |
"Yes... and no. The chromatic dragons are breaking, but Tiamat fights on. The Dragon Queen's wrath is palpable. The metallic horde controls the sky above Mount Tiamat, but the Well of Dragons is a battlefield!" | |||||
Wulfgar: |
"And we can't get down there even if we wanted to. It's chaos, inside the mountain and out! Every abishai and cultist is on the run!" | |||||
Ravengard: |
"Fate be praised for mercies and miracles, and for the strength of heart that burns in all those who fight for freedom. I know that strength burns in all our friends, in all those who undertake the other trials." | |||||
Laeral: |
"Then we may hope for Faerûn's sake that they are whispering the same thanks for their success as we are... and that Elminster and the heroes at his side will prove victorious in their fight..." | |||||
