Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Minsc:	I think we've ditched the Astral Elves -- we should be safe now.
Not-Xedalli:	So, I can take this off?
Havilar:	Not that safe.
Elaina:	Let's get back to my ship and we can figure out what to do next. Hopefully, it's been repaired by now.
Celeste:	Okay. We should try to travel without attracting too much attention.
Jarlaxle:	[Sigh] Not if these angry shiphands have anything to say about it. Don't you all have anything better to do?
Havilar:	SERIOUSLY! Read a chapbook or something!
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		The shiphands are angry! Show them who they're messing with!
Elaina:	I know we haven't gotten a chance to talk about this -- but when the ship is fixed, Flapjack and I have to set out as soon as possible. And unfortunately, we can't take any of you with us.
Farideh:	Well, that's sudden.
Elaina:	There hasn't really been a good time to bring that up, sorry. It's just that the people we are going to meet up with don't like new faces. They're suspicious for their own reasons.
Nordom:	Query: What are those reasons?
Elaina:	Their own.
Nordom:	I see.
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		There are Mollymawks everywhere! Clear the drydock of them!
Squiddly:	So, you're going to leave soon?
Flapjack:	I gotta. I'm the spelljammer. Ship doesn't move if I'm not there.
Squiddly:	Oh. I was sorta hoping you would stick around with us. Maybe be my sidekick?
Flapjack:	HA -- I like you kid. But I'm already Elaina's sidekick. But hey, we'll meet up again! We're always making stops on the Rock of Bral. And you can tell us about all your new adventures!
Squiddly:	Oh, I'm going to have so many stories to tell you!
Jarlaxle:	Why are there fishing lines everywhere?
Elaina:	The shiphands like to fish on this part of the docks -- but fish in Wildspace move in three dimensions so...
Celeste:	This is a walking hazard! Someone's going to get hurt!
Havilar:	You heard the party mom -- confiscate these fishing poles!
Celeste:	What did you call me?
Jarlaxle:	Nothing that isn't true.
Celeste:	Don't you start.
3	Collect 25 Fishing Poles		Celeste is worried about the fishing poles being a hazard! Make this drydock safer by confiscating those fishing poles!
Farideh:	Any suggestions for another captain we could sail with, Elaina? I don't think we should stay on the Rock of Bral too much longer.
Jarlaxle:	What about the Krux guy? Do you know him?
Elaina:	Commodore Krux? Yes, I've met him -- though back then he was traveling with another giff named Warwyck. He's gone now.
Jarlaxle:	He's dead?
Elaina:	No, just traveling in Doomspace.
Jarlaxle:	Oh, then I'm sure he's fine.
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		The shiphands are even more upset! And the mollymawks aren't helping! Fight back!
Farideh:	Could you put us in contact with this Commodore Krux?
Elaina:	I'll find out where he is first. Might not even be on the Rock of Bral right now. When we get back to my ship, I'll send a few messengers out.
Jarlaxle:	Hey, that's super awesome and we appreciate it, but these shiphands are getting angrier and angrier -- can't imagine why.
Farideh:	Probably because we took all of their fishing poles?
Jarlaxle:	Well, now they've recruited some of the angrier fish. Some of them are big too!
Celeste:	[Sigh] Everyone ready for a fight?
Havilar:	Yes, mom!
Celeste:	UGH!
5	Defeat the Night Scavver		The wilds of wildspace are attacking the dock! Stop them!
Elaina:	I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
Farideh:	What's wrong?
Elaina:	Someone has stolen some of the new parts!
Angry Shiphand:	That's right! You take our fishing poles! We take your parts!
Celeste:	But you were being a hazard! Someone could have tripped off the dock!
Angry Shiphand:	Oh, and who are you, the Dock Mom?
Havilar:	YOU'RE DARN RIGHT SHE IS -- AND YOU'LL RESPECT HER!
Celeste:	Oh wow, thank you, Havilar.
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		The ship parts have been stolen! Search the drydock for the thieves!
Elaina:	Okay, I'm going to stay here and fix what I can. While I do that, can you all get the parts back?
Squiddly:	You can count on us!
Elaina:	... Can anyone who is not a child confirm that?
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		The thieves are getting away! Chase them down!
Farideh:	Stop right there, thief!
Angry Shiphand:	I'm not a thief! I'm a shiphand!
Havilar:	You can be two things!
Angry Shiphand:	Nuh-uh!
Havilar:	Uh-huh!
Farideh:	Havi...
Jarlaxle:	Enough -- let's get these parts back!
8	Collect 25 Parts		You've found the thieves! Get the parts back!
Celeste:	That should be all of them!
Farideh:	Good -- now let's get back to Elaina before they try and take them again.
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		You've got the parts! Now fight your way back to the Moondancer!
Elaina:	Yes! You got the parts back! Did you have any trouble?
Jarlaxle:	Nothing we couldn't handle.
Xanathar Commander:	Well, here's some trouble you can't handle!
Havilar:	[Sigh] Really, you guys again?
Xanathar Commander:	That's right! Us again! And now we've teamed up with these angry shiphands because we're angry too!
Celeste:	Have you ever thought about not being angry?
Xanathar Commander:	... No! Get 'em!
10	Defeat the Xanathar Commander		More Xanathar goons? Show them what Champions think of goons!
Elaina:	Okay, all fixed. Thanks for dealing with that. I've got some good news -- I was able to track down some information on Krux. He's currently at the Happy Beholder.
Havilar:	Ugh, but we were just over there!
Jarlaxle:	Yeah, and Big Luigi wasn't really a fan of us.
Celeste:	I believe it was Large Luigi.
Jarlaxle:	Huh -- looked like a Big Luigi to me. Anyway, is this goodbye, Elaina?
Elaina:	Unfortunately so. I've gotta get moving fast too so I threw all your stuff on the dock.
Flapjack:	Okay group hug before we go -- oh wow, there are a lot of you.
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		It's time for goodbyes -- but these Mezzoloths and Mollymawks have something to say about it! Fight them off!
Not-Xedalli:	This place truly is awful. The smell is... unique.
Farideh:	Sorry we didn't alert the entire Rock of your arrival before we got here so they could clean up.
Not-Xedalli:	[Sigh] How much longer do we have to stay in this place?
Celeste:	If things go well with this Commodore Krux, we should hopefully be out of here by... tomorrow? Is that what you still say in space?
Not-Xedalli:	The sooner the better.
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		Your goal is the Happy Beholder -- but the Rock of Bral won't be an easy trip! Fight your way there!
Jarlaxle:	I really hope someone knows where we are going because all of these streets look the same to me.
Not-Xedalli:	The Happy Beholder should be just two right turns and a left from here... Why are you all staring at me?
Jarlaxle:	Well you were just complaining about having to be here and now you know your way around?
Not-Xedalli:	I may not like this place, but that is no excuse to not keep track of where we are.
Havilar:	Well it looks like we're in the middle of an ambush right now.
Mercenary:	Give us your stuff!
Farideh:	... No?
Mercenary:	Fine! Then we'll just shoot at you from behind this impenetrable barrier of carts!
13	Defeat 1 Market Cart		Mercenaries?! Break the market carts to get away!
Mercenary:	The wererats aren't paying us enough for this -- cheese it!
Jarlaxle:	Oh -- I see what you did there, very clever! And they're running away now. Bye!
Celeste:	Do you think that wererat's comment is anything for us to worry about?
Jarlaxle:	Eh, probably for only the next area or two?
Celeste:	Xedalli was right! Look, just over there -- it's the Happy Beholder!
Rat King:	And if you look right here it's a robbery! Give up the magic items!
Havilar:	Yeah, that didn't really work out for the mercenaries you paid.
Rat King:	Well they didn't have the chance to turn you into a wererat, now did they?
Havilar:	That's not a threat! That actually sounds kinda awesome. Wait, do I want to be a wererat?
Farideh:	Havi, no.
Jarlaxle:	Enough talking -- fighting time!
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		Wererats are attacking! Fend them off!
Rat King:	So it was you that took out our whole wererat operation?!
Jarlaxle:	... Operation? It was like three blocks and some knocked-over carts.
Rat King:	We spent DAYS putting this together!
Jarlaxle:	And we spent minutes taking it down. Maybe spend a little more time on your 'operations' in the future?
Celeste:	Maybe this is a good learning opportunity?
Rat King:	No! It's either your magic items -- or your lives!
Jarlaxle:	Look at that, Celeste! Violence wins again!
15	Defeat the Rat King		The Rat King has shown himself! Show him what it means to be a Champion!
Squiddly:	That was so awesome! You all were like, Pow! Zap! AH! It was awesome!
Celeste:	Yes, thank you Squiddly, but we should --
Squiddly:	I'm not done yet -- then Havilar was like wa-bam! And --
Jarlaxle:	Tell you what, kid. We were there for all of that. Why don't we find someone in the tavern for you to tell?
Celeste:	[Whisper] Do you really think that's a good idea?
Jarlaxle:	[Whisper] It's either that or we stand out here for another ten minutes while he re-enacts the entire fight.
Jarlaxle:	Hey, Big Luigi --
Large Luigi:	It's Large Luigi.
Jarlaxle:	That's right, apologies. Though I think you should try it out -- you seem like a Big Luigi. Anyways, do you know where a Commodore Krux is?
Large Luigi:	Oh yes, he's over there with my pet parrot, Little Luigi.
Jarlaxle:	Your parrot's name is Little Luigi? That's incredible -- I take back what I said about changing your name -- please continue.
Large Luigi:	Do me a favor and take care of these rowdy patrons on your way over there.
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		You're finally back in the Happy Beholder! But so are a bunch of drunks! Deal with them!
Havilar:	I thought you didn't like us fighting in your tavern?
Large Luigi:	That was until these folks started breaking stuff! Usually, I can handle them, but we're really busy. Do all the fighting you want right now.
Havilar:	[Gasp] Really?!
Farideh:	Havi, no!
Havilar:	But he said we could!
Farideh:	[Sigh] Large Luigi, how do you feel about evocation spells?
Celeste:	Excuse me, are you Commodore Krux by any chance?
Commodore Krux:	Indeed, I am! And this here is my friend Little Luigi -- he's a bit downtrodden at the moment I'm afraid.
Little Luigi:	Squawk! Adventurers tell me stories. Squawk! But Little Luigi never gets to adventure!
Celeste:	Oh, well, we were wondering if we could talk to you about something...?
Commodore Krux:	Not until my little friend here is in brighter spirits. I hate to see this fine feathered fellow in such a state.
Jarlaxle:	Hey, Squiddly, why don't you tell the parrot some of those stories? But you know, just the exciting ones -- nothing too dark. So mainly the ones with me in them.
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		Little Luigi is down in the dumps. Show him some cool moves to cheer him up!
Squiddly:	And then Jarlaxle was all like 'We will defeat you!' and the demon was like 'nuh-uh!' and then they fought!
Little Luigi:	Was it an exciting fight? Squawk!
Squiddly:	SO exciting!
Commodore Krux:	I say, your small friend here sure is doing a good job of cheering up Little Luigi. What was it you all wanted to talk to me about?
Celeste:	Well, you see, we were hoping you might be able to help us with getting off and away from the Rock of Bral. Preferably quickly.
Commodore Krux:	Would that be because of the disguised astral elf you have with you?
Not-Xedalli:	I'm not disguised -- these horns are natural!
Large Luigi:	Argh! These rowdy patrons are refusing to pay their tabs! Can you all get them over to the register so I can ring them up? Otherwise I'm going to start throwing eye beams.
Celeste:	Well, I would prefer to handle this with less violence than a beholder's eye beam would cause.
Minsc:	Have you met Havilar and myself?
Celeste:	I can mend a stab wound easier than I can petrification or disintegration.
Havilar:	She's got us there.
Jarlaxle:	I suppose. All right, folks! Time to settle your tabs!
18	Collect 25 Coinpurses		Time to collect the Happy Hour tabs! Get those coin purses!
Squiddly:	So you know about Orcus, Lord of Undeath?
Little Luigi:	Squawk! Only in stories!
Squiddly:	[Whispers] Well we think he might have a crush on the Raven Queen.
Little Luigi:	Really?!
Squiddly:	Yeah!
Little Luigi:	Wow -- squawk!... Who is that?
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		Squiddly is cheering up Little Luigi. Stop these mercenaries from distracting them!
Little Luigi:	What about vampires? Squawk!
Squiddly:	SO MANY vampires! They've even faced off against Strahd von Zarovich!
Little Luigi:	Who's that?
Squiddly:	He was this Dark Lord in the mists of Ravenloft -- real terrifying stuff!
Commodore Krux:	You all seem to have had quite a journey in your time, yes indeed.
Celeste:	Well, what if I told you we were still on an adventure right now? One that could decide the fate of our whole planet.
Commodore Krux:	Hmm, tell me more about this...
20	Defeat the Drunken Sailor		What do you do with a drunken sailor? Fight them!
Large Luigi:	Hey -- the mimics are back. Would you all mind taking care of them?
Nordom:	Query: Are you sure this whole tavern isn't a mimic?
Large Luigi:	Uh, well, I hadn't ever thought of it like that. And -- uh -- well, I'm not really sure how to answer that.
Havilar:	Yeah, Nordom asks a lot of questions that leave people like that.
Nordom:	Observation: My questions would be easier to answer if you were all modrons.
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		Mimics! Shiphands! Oh my! Hold them back!
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		Get ready! Everything in this tavern seems to be a mimic!
Celeste:	Okay, that should be all the mimics. Now, Commodore Krux, we --
Large Luigi:	Hey, so one more thing.
Celeste:	[Sigh] Yes?
Large Luigi:	The mimics have scared off all my staff and I need to start closing up -- could you all gather the empty mugs?
Jarlaxle:	Are we getting paid for this?
Large Luigi:	I'll comp all of your drinks.
Jarlaxle:	That's a good start -- but we'll want more. Trust me.
23	Collect 25 Happy Beholder Mugs		Last call! Collect the empty mugs!
Large Luigi:	I've thought of another token of gratitude for you!
Jarlaxle:	More free drinks?
Large Luigi:	No! I'll let you take Little Luigi with you on an adventure! Your stories have really seemed to cheer him up!
Squiddly:	[Gasp] Really?!
Jarlaxle:	Well now hold on --
Squiddly:	It's a deal!
Squiddly:	I can't wait to show you the amazing things we've seen! Oh, and you have to meet Nat and Jenks -- oh. Well, I guess that's if Toril is still there...
Commodore Krux:	What do you mean?
Celeste:	This is what I've been trying to say between mimic fights. Our planet, Toril, is going to be destroyed by the astral elves of Xaryxis unless we do something. We just need --
Nordom:	Observation: We are in danger. Everything seems to be a mimic now.
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		The chairs are attacking! Time to set the table!
25	Defeat the Spitting Mimic		Is that mimic spitting? Gross! Show them some manners!
Commodore Krux:	So astral elves of Xaryxis are siphoning energy from your world, eh? Nasty business.
Celeste:	Yes. And unless we do something, countless people are going to lose their lives. Will you help us get off the Rock of Bral?
Commodore Krux:	Hmm, I think it best if we continue this conversation in private. Let's all retire to my ship and speak there.
Havilar:	Large Luigi -- you going to be okay without us?
Large Luigi:	Uh -- ahaha -- yes! I think I'll be just fine. I'm sure. As long as this entire tavern hasn't actually been a mimic all along. That's a fear I never expected to have.
Nordom:	You are welcome.
Commodore Krux:	Yes, well, I've had to avoid some folks here and there and it pays to know --
Giff Shipmate:	Oi! Krux! That you?
Commodore Krux:	Oh dear, uh, NO! NO ONE KNOWS ANY KRUX AROUND HERE!
Giff Shipmate:	That's as bad a Krux lie as I've ever heard. Get 'em! He owes the boss money!
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		Uh-oh, looks like Commodore Krux is in trouble. Protect him!
Commodore Krux:	We need to run for it! Follow me!
Little Luigi:	Squawk! This isn't like the stories at all! This is terrifying!
Squiddly:	Don't worry, we'll protect you!
Jarlaxle:	Who's this 'we', kid?
Havilar:	Everyone shut up -- they're following us only because they can hear the banter!
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		Commodore Krux said to run for it! Fight your way through!
28	Collect 25 Cutlasses		There are too many of them! Take their weapons!
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		The ruffians are working together! Show them their mistake!
Giff Warlord:	There he is. Good ol' Krux. Where's our money, Krux?
Commodore Krux:	I was just on my way back to my ship to collect --
Giff Warlord:	No more stallin'. Either you give us the gold now, or we take it from you one way or another.
Commodore Krux:	Now wait just a --
Giff Warlord:	Attack!
Little Luigi:	Squawk!
Squiddly:	Little Luigi! Come back!
30	Defeat the Giff Warlord		The giff warlord wants a fight! Give it to them!
Squiddly:	Little Luigi flew off! I think he was frightened by all the ambushes!
Minsc:	Never fear! Boo saw the way he went, right Boo?
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	Boo is on the case! Follow me!
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		Little Luigi has flown away! Chase after him and take out these rats on the way!
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		The rats are blocking the door! Fight your way through!
Minsc:	Boo says the bird went in there!
Commodore Krux:	The Royal Theater? Well, at least it's somewhere safe.
Farideh:	Well, all of these giant rats coming out of the side door doesn't instill a lot of confidence in that.
Squiddly:	Forget the rats -- we gotta make sure Little Luigi is all right!
Farideh:	Don't worry, Squiddly. We'll find Little Luigi and get him somewhere safe.
Squiddly:	Promise?
Farideh:	Absolutely.
Commodore Krux:	Uh, excuse us kind thespians, but by any chance did you see --
Dohwar Lead:	Ah! Get out of here! What are you doing?
Commodore Krux:	Well, you see, it's quite a humorous story actually. We all met in a tavern recently and --
Dohwar Understudy:	We don't care! Just get out of here!
Jarlaxle:	We're not leaving without the bird.
Squiddly:	Little Luigi.
Jarlaxle:	[Sigh] We're not leaving without Little Luigi. Now, where is he?
33	Collect 25 Crates		The rats knocked over the crates! Pick them up!
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		Rats and Oozes? Get rid of them!
Farideh:	Are you all aware of the oozes that are currently hiding all over this dressing room?
Dohwar Lead:	Oh, yes, well, some makeup got left out for a few months and, well, they've kept to themselves so --
Havilar:	Uh, it doesn't look like they're keeping to themselves anymore!
Dohwar Lead:	Ugh, well we'd much rather have them around than you! Get them oozes -- you can do it!
Havilar:	SERIOUSLY?!
35	Defeat the Black Pudding		Defeat the Black Pudding before it devours you!
Commodore Krux:	Excuse me, good saer -- by chance have you seen a green --
Plasmoid:	Hey now! You're interrupting our stunt choreography rehearsal! Let's fight!
Havilar:	Are there any, like, friendly folks in this place? Or do they all want us dead?
Nordom:	Query: Are theaters usually deadly?
Jarlaxle:	Depends on the show. I've seen a few that could kill weaker folks out of sheer boredom.
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		This stunt team sure is excited for a fight! Give it to them!
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		The stunt team is getting help from rats in wigs! Fight your way through!
Plasmoid:	High kick! Low Kick! Punch! Punch!
Havilar:	You know, I really appreciate you shouting your attack before you make it. Really makes this fight a breeze.
Plasmoid:	You're right! We should make things more difficult! Stunt Team -- get your javelins!
Havilar:	Wait, no, that's not what I meant.
Celeste:	They'll probably still announce their attacks. Let's just grab the javelins before they do the attack.
38	Collect 25 Javelins		Those aren't practice javelins! Take them before someone gets hurt!
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		Don't let the costumes fool you -- deal with those rats!
Pirate Captain:	Yaaaaaar! What be happening here?
Jarlaxle:	Oh no -- a method actor. You know pirates don't actually talk like that, right? And is that toy parrot on your shoulder?
Pirate Captain:	Ye be marked as enemies of dohwar thespians! Ye shall walk the plank this time! Have at thee!
Jarlaxle:	[Sigh] 'Have at thee?' Look, we're just trying to find a parrot.
Pirate Captain:	Ye be after me pet parrot, are ye?
Jarlaxle:	No, a living parrot.
Pirate Captain:	Ye killed me parrot?! Draw your swords!
40	Defeat the Pirate Captain		That pirate captain is really into his character. Time for the climactic showdown!
Havilar:	Finally -- the stage! Little Luigi has to be around here somewhere.
Squiddly:	There! He's circling the ceiling above the audience seats!
Farideh:	Okay, we need to figure out a way to get to --
Dohwar Lead:	Not so fast! You've ruined our rehearsal night -- and put our entire stunt team out of commission for a week!
Pirate Captain:	And they mocked my pirate voice...
Dohwar Lead:	And you've hurt poor Steve's feelings! That's it, get 'em!
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		These dohwar thespians don't care about Little Luigi. Fend them off while a plan is made!
Jarlaxle:	We'll handle the thespians -- can one of you just fly up there and grab the parrot?
Squiddly:	No! We don't want to scare him any more than he already is. I should go.
Jarlaxle:	Great -- someone cast fly on Squiddly.
Celeste:	Jarlaxle, no! Squiddly is too young to be flying around without any training.
Jarlaxle:	Well, someone come up with something quick -- these thespians are much better at pretend fighting than they should be.
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		The dohwar have called for backup! Hold them back!
Celeste:	Nordom -- throw me that ladder. We'll stack them so Squiddly can get to Little Luigi.
Jarlaxle:	Stacking ladders? That's safer than casting fly and hoping for the best?
Celeste:	We'll keep it steady with a few spells. Now just throw me that -- by the moon, they're taking all the ladders!
Dohwar Lead:	That's right, because these are our ladders!
Dohwar Understudy:	Actually these are the Royal Theater's ladders.
Dohwar Lead:	These are the Royal Theater's ladders! And we're protecting them!
43	Collect 25 Stage Ladders		The dohwar are hogging all the ladders! Get them back!
Squiddly:	Hey, Little Luigi, how you feeling?
Little Luigi:	Scared! Squawk! Squawk!
Squiddly:	I can't argue with that. I may put on a brave face, but a lot of the time I'm scared too.
Little Luigi:	Really?
Squiddly:	Yep. If it weren't for Nat and Jenks back home, I don't know if I'd be as brave as I am now. But if they can be brave, I know I can be too. Just like how I know you can be brave.
Little Luigi:	Squawk! Tell me a story -- squawk -- about being brave?
Squiddly:	Sure! So there was this one time with a bunch of Hags...
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		Astral elves too?! Give Squiddly some time to calm Little Luigi!
Little Luigi:	Squawk! I can be brave even if I feel scared?
Squiddly:	Everyone's a little bit scared all the time.
Little Luigi:	Even Jarlaxle?
Squiddly:	Even Jarlaxle.
Jarlaxle:	[Far] No, I'm not!
Squiddly:	[Whisper] He is.
Jarlaxle:	[Far] Am not!
Celeste:	Okay, it looks like Squiddly is getting Little Luigi -- we just have to hold out a little bit longer!
45	Defeat the Plasmoid Boss		They're all working together now -- show them what your formation can do!
Havilar:	There, we should be able to go now.
Squiddly:	Uh -- Havilar, are those astral elves filing in from stage right?
Astral Elf:	You all are coming with us -- lay down your weapons!
Jarlaxle:	Any ideas for a distraction so we can get out of here?
Not-Xedalli:	I do, but first I need to --
Xedalli:	Do a quick costume change.
Astral Elf:	[Gasp] Is that Princess Xedalli?
Xedalli:	Long ago... The astral elves of the Xaryxis system found that the small, white star the system was named for could be harnessed to fuel their magic. They used this power to become rulers of the entire system.
Astral Elf:	And she's reciting her History of Xaryxis!
Dohwar Lead:	Hey, understudy -- this might be good. Get stage tech to improv some illusions.
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		The astral elves are distracted! Now's your chance!
Xedalli:	After thousands of years of using this magic power -- the astral elf wizards made a terrifying discovery. Xaryxis' light was starting to fade. Little thought was given to decreasing their reliance on the power and they instead looked for ways to reignite it.
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		Is this really the history of Xaryxis? Fend off the astral elves as Xedalli continues!
Squiddly:	Oh no -- they've brought archers!
Astral Elf:	Archers -- aim for the princess. If she falls, we can always bring her back.
Celeste:	Oh no you don't!
Astral Elf:	Ready!
Celeste:	Nordom, snatch up those arrows!
Nordom:	Affirmative!
Astral Elf:	Fire!
48	Collect 25 Arrows		Xedalli must continue -- get those arrows!
Xedalli:	For centuries the ruling body of Xaryxispace debated on what to do. But cutting off the flow of magic power from Xaryxis wasn't an option. Then, they discovered something in Xaryxis itself. Astral Seeds.
Xedalli:	The first test of the Astral Seeds happened on Vaerduran -- a planet in Xaryxispace.
Farideh:	Do you all realize how evil this story sounds?
Xedalli:	It was a complete success for the astral elves, but for Vaerduran it was a death sentence. The planet is little more than a cinder now.
Astral Elf:	I think we sound pretty awesome, actually!
Squiddly:	What? This makes you sound like villains!
Astral Elf:	Eh, you're just a kid, what do you know?
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		There aren't many astral elves left! Take out the rest!
Xedalli:	With Vaerduran destroyed and the light of Xaryxis only glowing faintly brighter, the leaders turned their aspirations to other planets beyond their system. With each planet's destruction, Xaryxis lived a little bit longer...
Astral Elf Assassin:	That's right -- and we're going to harvest every bit of energy from Toril -- and there's nothing you all can do about it.
Jarlaxle:	You wouldn't believe how many times we've been told there's nothing we can do about it, and guess what? We always do something about it.
Astral Elf Assassin:	Not this time. Attack!
50	Defeat the Astral Elf Assassin		The assassin has revealed themself! Time for the final fight of Act 3!
Commodore Krux:	I say, you all were spectacular.
Celeste:	Thank you -- but we should get out of here before more of them show up.
Commodore Krux:	That's a good idea. Let's make haste for my ship, the Second Wind. The tiefling I let rent it should be back by now.
Jarlaxle:	You rent out your ship?
Commodore Krux:	Just when I need some extra coin.
Jarlaxle:	... And how often is that?
Commodore Krux:	This way everyone!
