Catti-brie:	We made good time working our way through Grimskalle. Didn't think Auril's vault and that fancy magic book would be so easy to claim after all that came before.
Celeste:	Auril's servants must have fled when they felt the collapse of her magic. No wards on the vault makes things easy.
Vellynne:	There's still magic in plenty in this tome, though. And even more secrets besides. But we'll need to get it away from here to find time to safely evaluate it.
Bruenor:	Well, that flyin' nautiloid's a sight fer sore legs. It woulda been a long slog back ta anywhere without it. And an even longer swim ta get off o' this island and ta tha mainland in tha first place.
Vorryn:	Repairs are effected. New specimens from island have been collected. It is time to depart, Champions
Dredavex:	To depart!
Celeste:	It'll be good to rest up along the way. Whatever its other lack of creature comforts, the nautiloid is warm and dry at least. And it'll give us much-needed time to review the Codicil.
Minsc:	Before we depart, Minsc observes that certain servants of Auril are making presence known outside fortress. And are charging at speed!
1	Defeat 25 Monsters		As you prepare to leave Grimskalle and the Island of Solstice behind, you need to deal with just a few stragglers from the forces of the vanquished Frostmaiden!
2	Defeat 25 Monsters		These snowy owlbears are still revved up on the Frostmaiden's fading magic. Get them calmed down and cleared out!
Jarlaxle:	Something's moving in from beyond this wall of owlbears. Something tall...
Calliope:	More of those undead giants. We've got to get into better position... hey! Kobold! Keep the freaking snowballs to yourself!
Deekin:	But boss just defeated a shiny ice god. Icewind Dale is even saved, maybe! Deekin can't have fun before the next doom?
Bruenor:	Lad, if ye can't find a good time in an all-out fight against ranks o' towerin' undead, ye ain't livin' right. But ye've actually given me an idea. Everybody grab up some snow and follow me!
3	Collect 25 Snowballs		As a mob of frost giant skeletons pushes in, you need to distract them. A snowball fight ought to do the trick!
4	Defeat 25 Monsters		Skeletons are pushing in from across the Island of Solstice. Stand fast!
Bruenor:	Them skeletons is down ta their last line. One more push oughta take 'em out!
Catti-brie:	Ye might want to hold that thought. Something's loping in across the ice... and it doesn't look happy.
5	Defeat the Abominable Yeti		The last of the frost giant skeletons make a final stand. But an abominable yeti has been drawn to the sound of the fight!
Ukuma:	Well, that's the last of them! Gee willikers, what a finish from these Champions! I'm telling you, I can't remember the last time I saw anybody work this ice like they do.
Nayeli:	It's good to see you again, Ukuma. And thank you for keeping watch on Aerix. But I'm afraid it's time for all of us to depart. Come, Aerix. We'll get you somewhere safe before we decide our next move. Ukuma, is there anywhere we can take you? Do you have a home to return to?
Ukuma:	Well now, truth be told, I admit I've grown attached to this place. Got some great ice down on that rink, I'm telling you. So if it's all right by you Champions, I think I'll be happy right here. Give Grimskalle a bit of a fix-up, maybe get word to the rest of the walruses to stop on by.
Bruenor:	Well, seems like a fair end, all in all. Ukuma, we'll leave Grimskalle safe in yer hands. Yer flippers. Fins? Somethin'. And everybody else, let's get ta movin'! 'Tis time ta go!
Dredavex:	Welcome aboard, Champions! Please avail yourself of all nautiloid amenities and refreshments.
Vorryn:	Refreshments!
Jarlaxle:	Given the wide range of possibilities as to what a malfunctioning illithid might consider refreshing, I think I'll just stick with trail rations. But I could definitely do with a rest. Someone wake me when we've landed... hey! Why is the floor moving?
Minsc:	Is not floor, but scampering horde that covers floor like toothy carpet! Look out!
6	Defeat 25 Monsters		The repairs to the nautiloid have you traveling across the Sea of Moving Ice in style. But rabbits have taken over the cargo hold once more!
7	Defeat 25 Monsters		The rabbits retreat quickly -- but a frenzied mob of hares pushes in to take up the slack!
8	Collect 25 Rabbit Carcass		When life gives you an overabundance of rabbits, plan to make some rabbit stew. Turning some of these critters into lunch might make the rest rethink this fight!
9	Defeat 25 Monsters		The sheer volume of rabbits means that even those who want to clear out are being pushed back into the fight!
Bruenor:	All right, we got these lagomorph lackeys right where we want 'em. Time ta... oi! That howlin' seems a mite guttural fer rabbits...
Minsc:	Dwarf has excellent ears. Is ogre on the rampage, dragging chains behind it!
Calliope:	Those chains look suspiciously like nautiloid issue!
Dredavex:	Oh, drat! The new specimen has escaped.
Vorryn:	Escaped! You should have reinforced chains!
Dredavex:	Am I to do all? I was making refreshments!
Nayeli:	Both of you need to table this argument. And help us get this creature under control!
10	Defeat the Chained up Ogre		Another of Vorryn and Dredavex's more destructive specimens is on the loose! Get this ogre chained up again, and quickly!
Vorryn:	All is settled! Specimen is properly resting. And land is near! Where is Champions' destination?
Celeste:	The first order of business is finding one of the Reghed tribes we can trust to look after Aerix. But when that's done... my friends, Vellynne and I have been assessing the Codicil of White. And there are some things we need to speak on.
Delina:	Auril's placed some serious ritual magic into this book. And it connects to some strange history besides! It's all about what Vellynne was talking about before. A lost Netherese city buried under Reghed Glacier. Ythryn!
Vellynne:	Indeed. And though I expected that to be a journey I made alone, it seems our paths might continue together a little longer, Champions. For if what Celeste and I have gleaned from the codicil holds true, the ruins of Ythryn might hold power to help undo some of the damage done to Icewind Dale by the Frostmaiden.
Wulfgar:	That would be wondrous news indeed! And if true, the faster we set out, the better. Vorryn! Dredavex! Let me help you set a course for Reghed. We can seek the Elk Tribe there, and a place for Aerix. Then we'll hear more of this Ythryn and what secrets it might hold.
Bruenor:	All right, all ashore that's comin' ashore. Wulfgar, ye sure ye recognized Elk Tribe banners from tha air? We're a fair bit out o' their territory, seems ta me.
Wulfgar:	Quite certain, Bruenor... and there they are! They must be traveling far in pursuit of the game herds... wait... Mjenir?
Mjenir:	Indeed, Wulfgar, son of Beorngar. We are well met again.
Celeste:	Mjenir, this meeting seems far from chance. We're leagues away from where we last saw you.
Mjenir:	Indeed, Celeste. For we all have a part to play in the events presently unfolding. I have felt the power of Auril's Everlasting Rime broken, and I know that all folk of Icewind Dale have the Champions to thank. And as ancient prophecy comes to light, so do I come to you.
Nayeli:	Mjenir, we have a boon to ask of the Elk Tribe. A child, Aerix, is the last survivor of a Wolf Tribe clan. He needs a home.
Mjenir:	It shall be done. The companions who accompanied me here will be returning to a gathering of the tribes. Aerix will travel safely with them while I accompany you.
Minsc:	Minsc does not mean to interrupt, but is number of Mjenir's companions enlarging as we look? There is large group advancing at speed. And they fly banners of tiger as they charge!
11	Defeat 25 Monsters		You've met up with the Elk Tribe just in time! Stop this Tiger Tribe attack!
12	Defeat 25 Monsters		The Tiger Tribe fighters weren't expecting this strong a response -- but that's only making them redouble their assault!
Mjenir:	Curse these Tiger Tribe miscreants. They've been harassing Elk Tribe patrols of late. They must have picked up our trail when we set out from our main group.
Wulfgar:	We've met them ourselves, as part of Auril's test. Don't worry. We'll send them back to their chief, Bjornhild, with a message that the Elk Tribe and the Champions stand together.
Catti-brie:	Hold up... listen! Do ye hear that?
Calliope:	I'm not hearing anything over these Tiger Tribe yokels' battle cries.
Jarlaxle:	I hear it... a familiar hissing of tiny wings. Everyone look sharp!
13	Collect 25 Symbols of the Tiger Tribe		A swarm of chardalyn dragonets is on the attack, and you need to clear out the Tiger Tribe to deal with them! Claiming their tribal symbols might break these warriors' resolve!
14	Defeat 25 Monsters		The dragonets renew their attack with focused fury. Hit them hard!
Nayeli:	Is that the last of them?
Celeste:	I think so. But I don't know how many managed to flee the fray before the end. This is most disconcerting.
Bruenor:	What ye said. I thought them dragonets was bein' animated by Auril's power? Shouldn't they have all broken down when she went down?
Vellynne:	They should have, yes. Unless they've sensed another source of power they've been able to tap into....
Celeste:	This might well line up with what we've learned of Ythryn. It was one of Netheril's flying enclaves -- a city in the sky, powered by the magic of a Mythallar. And if the enclave's magic is still strong enough that the dragonets are being drawn to it from across Reghed Glacier, our taking up this quest is most provident.
Mjenir:	It is as I said, Celeste. We are all a part of things unfolding. But as long as these Tiger Tribe warriors are allowed to harry us, our quest is delayed.
Bruenor:	Time ta finish this fight up, then. Everybody hit 'em hard!
15	Defeat the Saber-Toothed Tiger		The warriors of the Tiger Tribe make a desperate push -- with a vicious saber-toothed tiger at the fore!
Wulfgar:	That's the last of the Tiger tribesfolk turned tail. Take that message to Bjornhild, curs! And stay clear of the Elk Tribe if you value your lives!
Catti-brie:	Wulfgar, if ye're done with all that bravado shouting, maybe ye can join the rest o' us to get to planning where we're going. Celeste, Vellynne -- does that book tell ye what course we're following?
Vellynne:	I know the route to the site that promises access to lost Ythryn. With you and Wulfgar to guide us, I have good faith that we'll find it. But what the book holds is information far more valuable -- the magic that will open the glacier itself to let us pass.
Celeste:	The book contains much ritual magic, including a poem called 'The Rime of the Frostmaiden.' An incantation that should be able to split the Reghed Glacier asunder, and reveal a route down to Ythryn.
Vellynne:	Sparse legends from the time of Netheril speak of the enclave's masters seeking magic in the frozen north some two thousand years ago. They flew across all these lands, but their Mythallar's magic failed. When the city crashed, it hit with such force that it buried itself in the ice.
Bruenor:	Don't sound like it woulda left much ta search through after a crash like that. Never mind what's gonna be left after twenty centuries under crushin' ice.
Celeste:	Except the magic of Netheril was built to endure. As the presence of the dragonets seeking the enclave attest. We'll find something there. And I think we'll need to find it quickly.
Bruenor:	Ah, 'tis a beautiful day fer a glacier hike. Almost downright meditative. Bracin' chill in tha air. No sound but yer footsteps. 'Cept fer Jarlaxle's teeth chatterin', o' course.
Jarlaxle:	There's literally nothing out here but snow and ice. Every step is colder than the last one. Every direction is the same. How do we even know where we're going?
Wulfgar:	Navigation is well in hand, elf. We'll see the wall of the glacier soon enough. Based on Vellynne's description and notes, we should arrive close to the access point we seek.
Calliope:	Hey, listen up again. The sound of my footsteps just took on a weird echo.
Jarlaxle:	Dragonets! That's an even bigger swarm than last time!
Bruenor:	Well, ain't nowhere ta hide from 'em out here. So that's more o' an excuse ta fight!
16	Defeat 25 Monsters		Another wave of dragonets wings toward you! You need to take all these constructs down!
Nayeli:	We're not making any headway against these accursed constructs! We need to regroup!
Minsc:	Regrouping is also high on to-do list for alternative reasons! Champions have company, coming in quickly!
Mjenir:	It's the Tiger Tribe again. A larger force than before!
Wulfgar:	They must have met up with their main hunting band and decided to come back for a rematch. And look who's leading them!
Bjornhild:	Champions! Look upon your doom! You dare to challenge Auril's might? You have broken the Frostmaiden's power? I and the Tiger Tribe will have revenge for your treachery!
Wulfgar:	I'll have revenge for your attacks on the Elk Tribe and any others who've fallen afoul of your hunger for power, Bjornhild! Meet me on the field!
Bruenor:	Oi, lad! Don't be too keen ta settle old scores when we got new scores still bein' tallied against them dragonets! Everybody reform ranks! And get ready!
17	Defeat 25 Monsters		Trying to get the dragonets pinned down has put you in position for a renewed Tiger Tribe strike. Stand fast!
18	Defeat 1 Frozen Tree		A furious assault forces the Tiger Tribe warriors to fall back. But taking the fight to the dragonets means clearing out this frozen tree blocking the battlefield!
19	Defeat 25 Monsters		The wall of the Reghed Glacier looms before you -- and gives the chardalyn dragonets a defensive position from which to launch another assault!
Vellynne:	We're almost there! We need to seek the sign of a waterfall that once flowed over the glacier. The wall will be weaker there.
Mjenir:	I know that site. Stay close, Champions.
Catti-brie:	The Tiger Tribe warriors are moving in again! And they've got a mighty monstrous cat with them!
Nayeli:	We need to try to stop this before it gets past the point of no return. Bjornhild, hear me! We've sent enough of Auril's former servants to their final rest that the process is starting to lose its allure. Back down from this fight, and you and your people can go your way. Don't let your misguided allegiance to Auril...
Bjornhild:	Blasphemy! I know your plots! I know what the Arcane Brotherhood mage has promised you, and where you mean to go. But the power channeled by the Frostmaiden will not be sundered! Her plan will be fulfilled! And you will all be the first sacrifices to usher in her glorious return!
20	Defeat the Bjornhild & Her Tiger		Bjornhild leads her warriors in a final stand, the tribe's saber-toothed tiger and another wave of chardalyn dragons anchoring the assault!
Bruenor:	Too many times in this life, I met too many people willin' ta die fer tha wrong reasons. Kind o' wish that trend would slow down at some point.
Mjenir:	Bjornhild's brand of zealotry is never in short supply, unfortunately. Hopefully with her fallen, the rest of the Tiger Tribe will embrace a new path.
Nayeli:	I'm more interested in her meaning when she spoke of what the Arcane Brotherhood mage had promised us. Vellynne, have you had dealings with the Tiger Tribe?
Vellynne:	None whatsoever. But I have a strong suspicion about who she might have met if she had some hint of where we were bound. We need to work quickly. Celeste, the codicil!
Celeste:	The ritual is ready. I'm channeling its power now.
Bruenor:	Oi! That's some kind o' rumblin' buildin' up. Tha ice wall! 'Tis startin' ta fissure! Everybody stand back!
Catti-brie:	Well, that's something ye don't see every day... that ritual cracked Reghed Glacier like an egg!
Bruenor:	And look beyond, there. Ice tunnels! They look stable 'nuff. And they're leadin' a long way down...
Calliope:	We've got company coming! The chardalyn dragonets are on the wing!
Celeste:	They can sense the magic of Ythryn more strongly with the ice shattered. We need to stop them from getting inside!
Minsc:	Minsc believes we may have inadvertent complication in that regard! We are surrounded!
21	Defeat 25 Monsters		Breaking open the wall of the glacier sends the dragonets into a rage -- and frees a mob of ice mephits that quickly enter the fray!
22	Defeat 25 Monsters		The dragonets have almost been worn down to the last. One more push will finish them off!
Celeste:	That's the last of the dragonets down. Everyone, into the caves, and quickly. Did any of the constructs get past us?
Nayeli:	Hard to say. Enough of the mephits retreated in the end that the dragonets could have slipped back with them. I have questions for Vellynne, though. You said you knew who Bjornhild might have gotten word of our mission from. Who?
Vellynne:	One of the companions who accompanied me to Icewind Dale in search of Ythryn. The one you met. Avarice.
Bruenor:	Oi! That tieflin' wizard we took down way back? I knew there was somethin' up with her turnin' inta ice instead o' dyin' all proper like.
Vellynne:	Avarice must have been in secret service to Auril all the time the Arcane Brotherhood were researching the location of Ythryn. If the Frostmaiden's power protected her in death, she'll no doubt still be holding some of that power for herself even after Auril's fall.
Celeste:	Which means we're not the only ones seeking Ythryn. And Avarice might well have been waiting for us to open the way to the enclave for her...
Nayeli:	There won't be anything to do about that until she makes her move. But it certainly makes our mission more urgent. We need to discover what magic is down here -- and eliminate its threat before Avarice or anyone else can make use of it.
23	Defeat 1 Icicle		The mephits have no interest in fleeing this fight -- and this giant icicle is getting in the way of your counterattack!
Bruenor:	Oi! What was that scream?
Calliope:	I can't hear anything over the sound of these shrieking mephits. Hey, shut up for a moment, won't you?
Echoing Voice:	Free... after so long...
Nayeli:	I heard the scream too, Bruenor. And that voice... it's like it's coming from inside the ice.
Vellynne:	Something in the glacier is waking with the opening of the ice wall. We'll need to be cautious. And to move quickly!
24	Defeat 25 Monsters		The farther you push down the ice tunnel, the more mephits fly forth to join the attack!
Minsc:	Mephits are growing more frenetic! Icy chittering grows to ear-splitting din!
Nayeli:	That's not just the mephits laughing. Listen... is that...?
Minsc:	Is... hyenas calling! This is wondrous strange.
Echoing Voice:	Do you fear, intruders? Have you taken a misstep? Too late to backtrack now. Too late! Ha ha ha!
Bruenor:	That ain't no regular hyena cacklin'. We got gnolls out there somewhere in tha dark, watchin' us!
Nayeli:	Not just gnolls. Undead! And powerful. I feel them moving! Everyone stand fast!
25	Defeat the Snow Golem		Gnoll vampires suddenly take this fight to a new level! And the snow golem they've brought with them makes this an even deadlier showdown!
Celeste:	Ythryn is lost but not abandoned, it seems. We're likely to be facing undead all the way down.
Vellynne:	A difficult journey. And one I'm glad I'm not making alone. We'll want to be on the lookout for Netherese relics lost in the ice as Ythryn descended. If their magic is still functional, it might grant as an edge against whatever still lurks down here. My professor orb will be of use as well.
Nayeli:	We'll need all the assistance we can get, from your disembodied associate or otherwise. I can feel the vampires holding back in the next tunnels. It's time to move.
Bruenor:	Oi, what's that? Seems a strange thing ta see a ship sunk this far down in tha ice.
Delina:	That's not a ship... it's a Netherese skycoach! An ancient flying vessel!
Jarlaxle:	Any chance of getting any part of it flying less anciently? It would beat navigating these endless caves on foot.
Celeste:	Even if we had time to break it free of the ice, its magic has deteriorated badly. And we have more pressing concerns, I think. Watch out!
26	Defeat 25 Monsters		The flameskulls guarding this shattered skycoach aren't keen on you trespassing -- and another pack of gnoll vampires is keen to lend them a hand!
27	Defeat 25 Monsters		Pushing the flameskulls back is made more difficult by these ice-encrusted piercers dropping into the fight!
Delina:	Hang on... magic ahead. There! What are those cubes scattered around?
Vellynne:	They look like chunks of brimstone. And their dweomer reads as thermal cubes! Magical heat generators. They'll come in handy if we're down here for a while. Come on!
28	Collect 25 Thermal Cubes		These thermal cubes will make your exploration of these frozen caves a bit more pleasant. Grab them all!
29	Defeat 25 Monsters		The piercers have abandoned the fight, but another pack of gnoll vampires attempts to slip past your defenses!
30	Defeat the Remorhaz		A remorhaz prowling through these caverns takes exception to your presence -- and joins the flameskulls for a final assault!
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	What Boo says! Flameskulls are scattering finally! And Remorhaz has bolted! Champions are more than it bargained for, it seems.
Wulfgar:	Maybe. But maybe not. This cavern doesn't have the look of a remorhaz lair. I think we might have just surprised it, then driven it back to its real territory.
Celeste:	Which appears to lie along the same path we need to follow. Everyone stay alert. It would be nice to avoid the creature putting in a repeat appearance.
31	Defeat 25 Monsters		These narrower ice tunnels give you less room to maneuver -- and the gnoll vampires mean to take advantage of that as they renew their assault!
32	Defeat 25 Monsters		As tough as these vampires are, you refuse to let them get the edge in this fight. One more push should finish them!
Echoing Voice:	Closer... closer! Champions, you call yourselves? Heroes? Heh. Ha ha ha!
Bruenor:	That voice is gettin' inta me head, and I'd like it elsewhere. That's one o' them gnoll vampires doin' that hyena-laugh, or I'm an ice gnome. But there's somethin' even more feral than normal about that blighter, wherever he's hidin'.
Calliope:	There's more noise echoing from ahead. It sounds like someone's smashing glass?
Jarlaxle:	Falling icicles. The whole ceiling of the tunnel ahead looks like it's in the process of coming down. And it's left a barrier we're going to need to clear.
Nayeli:	That's not the only thing that'll be keeping us busy. A dragonet swarm is closing in!
33	Defeat 1 Icicle		A swarm of chardalyn dragonets advances through a hail of falling ice!
34	Defeat 25 Monsters		The piercer assault is relentless -- and still more dragonets are pouring forth from the caves ahead of you!
Jarlaxle:	There's something moving at the edge of the fray... some kind of dark mist!
Bruenor:	More o' them gnoll vampires? Feh. Bring 'em on.
Nayeli:	No, it's just one of them. But its power is strong... its menace...
Echoing Voice:	Champions! You are welcome to the Caves of Hunger! Tekeli-li's domain! Now let me invite each of you in... personally! Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha...!
Nayeli:	The voice is another gnoll vampire! It must be the master of the undead that swarm through this place.
Minsc:	Mist is taking shape! Gnoll vampire takes hyena form -- and attacks!
35	Defeat the Tekeli-li		Tekeli-li comes! This dread gnoll vampire takes advantage of the chaos of the fight to unleash a deadly assault!
Bruenor:	Blasted vampires and their blasted misty form... come back and fight, ye craven!
Nayeli:	You're wasting your breath, Bruenor. The creature's essence is long gone. It'll be resting up and waiting for the next time.
Celeste:	The number of dragonets in that swarm doesn't bode well. Those couldn't have been constructs that followed us down here. They were here already.
Catti-brie:	There's probably lots o' air vents and tiny fissures leading under the ice. No telling how many more might already be ahead o' us.
Minsc:	Minsc and Boo have scouted ahead, and can report that falling icicles have ceased in tunnels to come. Going will be easier. Let us advance!
36	Defeat 25 Monsters		Kobold vampire spawn watch over the next stage of the tunnels -- and have no intention of letting you pass!
Calliope:	By all the useless gods, I'm getting tired of hearing that droning sound. More dragonets ahead!
Jarlaxle:	It's a smaller swarm. Looks like some sort of strike force bent on harrying us.
Nayeli:	And if we don't get these vampire spawn under control, they're going to have an easy time of it!
37	Defeat 25 Monsters		As the vampire spawn redouble their assault, a pack of chardalyn dragonets tries to tip the balance in the fight!
38	Collect 25 Spell Scrolls		These forgotten Netherese spell scrolls will prove useful in the fight -- but the kobold vampire spawn harry your attempts to retrieve them!
39	Defeat 25 Monsters		You'll want to keep an eye on this giant golem head while you take the fight to the vampire spawn -- and on the dragonets slipping in to harry you from the edge of the fray!
40	Defeat the Gelatinous Cube		A monstrous gelatinous cube surges forth from the shadows, with a pack of flameskulls in its wake! Take all these threats down!
Bruenor:	Still no magic comin' off that head? I swear I see its eyes followin' me.
Celeste:	Just an optical illusion, I'm afraid. It was some sort of enormous golem originally, but it's only decorative now.
Minsc:	Speaking of decorations, scouting of tunnels ahead reveals... disturbing walls.
Calliope:	Disturbing how? Weird magic? Far Realm echoes? Macrame hangings?
Minsc:	Is not quite as bad as that. But still, everyone be ready.
41	Defeat 25 Monsters		The bones of the dead fill these tunnels and caverns -- and the undead shadows they spawned seek revenge!
Bruenor:	Nayeli, is ye gettin' any readin' on whether these undead is gettin' thinner on tha ground?
Nayeli:	Not yet. This place seems to have spawned a limitless supply of them. There's no telling how many people died when the enclave crashed.
Vellynne:	All signs point to needing to keep on this route. We have no choice. We'll have to go through them, one way or another!
42	Defeat 25 Monsters		As fast as you destroy them, still more shadows surge forth from the frigid darkness!
Delina:	There's something scattered across the tunnel floor ahead. More scrolls?
Jarlaxle:	No, it's just parchment fragments. But some of them still have writing on them.
Celeste:	It looks like... my word! These are records of those who survived the fall of Ythryn and managed to endure beneath the ice! But their tone is of some sort of confession... as though some great evil befell them. We need to discover what happened here. Quickly, let's save what we can!
43	Collect 25 Ancient Confessions		These ancient confessions might hold clues to the dread history of these caves. Grab them up!
44	Defeat 25 Monsters		Pushing back against the shadows has led you into reach of more iced piercers! Watch yourselves!
45	Defeat the Wraith		A dread wraith looms ahead -- with a swarm of chardalyn dragonets at its beck and call!
Calliope:	As many of those freaking dragonets as we take down, it seems like just as many go swarming off into the shadows. We're never going to get the upper hand on them.
Nayeli:	Their numbers have to thin eventually. We just need to keep moving. Celeste, have you had a chance to assess those parchment fragments yet?
Celeste:	Yes, Nayeli. And they tell a sobering tale. There were many survivors of Ythryn, who clung to life hoping for rescue. But when it didn't come, they turned to cannibalism. All the undead here are their spawn, driven to madness by the tragedy of their lives and deaths.
Minsc:	Some few fragments have strange symbol. Minsc does not recognize it.
Celeste:	Few outside wizardly circles would. It's the symbol of Mystryl, predecessor of Mystra. The first god of magic. The Netherese worshipped her. But when some among them sought her power, it was the empire's ruin.
Jarlaxle:	I hate to interrupt the history lesson, but there's movement ahead. Something's getting ready for our advance.
Nayeli:	Then let's not keep them waiting. Whatever else we're here to do, we can send these tortured undead to their rest.
46	Defeat 25 Monsters		Another force of kobold vampire spawn holds these ice tunnels against you. Hit these undead hard!
47	Defeat 25 Monsters		Your charge has the vampire spawn at the edge of breaking. One more push will scatter them!
Jarlaxle:	Spawn down, vampires up! And they've been driven into some sort of rage. We must be getting close to something important.
Bruenor:	Even money that it's just that accursed Tekeli-li. I swear I can hear that echoin' laugh over tha rest o' this gnoll vampire pack's howlin'.
Tekeli-li:	Is that so, dwarf?! Your ears, so sharp. But are your eyes as keen? Will you see death when it comes for you, hmmm? Ha! Ha haaa!
48	Collect 25 Symbols of Tekeli-li		Gnoll vampires step in to fill the breach created by their spawn kin's retreat. Snatch up the symbols of their corrupt master to break their icy undead resolve!
49	Defeat 25 Monsters		At the foot of this toppled spire, the vampire spawn have regrouped to join the fight. Stand fast!
Calliope:	Incoming mist again! That freaking head vampire is back!
Bruenor:	Hit him hard, then! Take that blighter down and tha rest'll lose their guidance!
Nayeli:	Easier said than done. Tekeli-li is driving a wall of undead before him! We need to cut through them, and quickly!
50	Defeat the Tekeli-li		As gnoll vampires and kobold vampire spawn surge against you, Tekeli-li in his hyena form attempts to get the upper hand once more!
Bruenor:	Gettin' real tired o' that vampire doin' his fight-and-fade routine. I swear, I get that undead where I want him, he'll be more paste than mist.
Mjenir:	He's just toying with us. Trying to raise our ire so we'll make a mistake as we pursue him. But the fact that he's dogging our steps so closely seems to confirm that we're on the right track.
Celeste:	Indeed. The levels of background magic are continuing to grow even stronger. We need to continue our descent -- no matter what else is waiting for us.
