Waterdeep Detours
Find your way to the Inn where you are meeting with Drizzt.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Grubby Child:	*sniff sniff* You look like big strong adventurers! Can you help me?
Celeste:	Of course little one, I think we can take the time. What do you need?
Grubby Child:	I've lost my dog!
1	Defeat 25 Monsters		You finally make it to Waterdeep however you've been waylaid by a small child who needs your help.
2	Collect 25 Parchments		It might go faster if you had some lost dog posters. Gather some parchment.
3	Defeat 25 Monsters		The Field Ward seems overrun with rats, and wild dogs.
4	Defeat 25 Monsters		The child's dog must be here somewhere, at the very least this area will be better off with less rats!
Grubby Child:	There you are Waldo! Sic'm!
Jarlaxle:	That dog has two heads. Why does that dog have two heads? Why does the child have a dog that has two heads?
Bruenor:	That's a Death Dog!
Jarlaxle:	So it is. This is why I hate Waterdeep.
5	Defeat the Death Dog		The two headed dog looks at you hungrily and attacks!
Grubby Child:	Waldo, no! I'll remember this!
Innkeeper's Wife:	Help! Help us!
Jarlaxle:	What now?!
Innkeeper's Wife:	My husband went down to work on expanding the cellar and a few moments later these creatures just started pouring out! I don't know what happened! Hurry he's still down there!
Nayeli:	We've got this. This is kind of our thing.
6	Defeat 25 Monsters		All manner of vermin are pouring out of the doors to that inn! Get inside and help!
7	Collect 25 Pints of Ale		There is always time for a pint. Fighting is thirsty work.
8	Defeat 25 Monsters		You proceed to the cellar, the creatures must be coming from somewhere!
9	Defeat 25 Monsters		The Innkeeper must have broken into a tunnel.
10	Defeat the Poison-Spitting Spider		That spider looks venomous! Crush it!
Innkeeper:	Thank you so much! I thought I was going to be dinner for that spider!
Bruenor:	Aye, no worries. Git back to ye're wife. She's worried sick. Maybe start talkin' about closin' this up?
Innkeeper:	Of course! I had no idea this was down here! Thank you!
Celeste:	This tunnel looks like someone made it...
Jarlaxle:	We're going into that tunnel, aren't we?
Bruenor:	Aye.
Jarlaxle:	Yes. Yes of course we are.
11	Defeat 25 Monsters		There are bandits in the tunnel! Do they use these for crime? Check it out.
12	Defeat 25 Monsters		After a few twists and turns the tunnel leads out up ahead!
13	Defeat 25 Monsters		You find yourself in a warehouse. It's being robbed!
14	Collect 25 Potions		The bandits have spilled crates of dangerous looking potions, pick them up before they break.
15	Defeat the Shift Bandit Thief		That shifty looking bandit seems to be the leader. Put a stop to him.
Nayeli:	Damned thieves! Lucky for who ever owns this place we came along.
Celeste:	Speaking of...
Merchant:	My warehouse! What happened? Why is there so much blood?!
Merchant:	I have a special delivery to make, thank goodness you came along. Those bandits probably would have taken it!
Bruenor:	Yer welcome! Now if ye don't mind. We'll be on our way.
Merchant:	Actually do you think you could help me deliver it? I seem to be a target for thieves!
Jarlaxle:	Ugh!
16	Defeat 25 Monsters		The merchant wasn't kidding! He definitely needs an escort.
17	Defeat 25 Monsters		You wonder what the merchant is carrying that can garner this much attention.
18	Collect 25 Stolen Coin Pouches		The thieves have more coin pouches than they should have. Collect the stolen pouches.
Merchant:	Here, this is where I am meeting my buyer.
Nayeli:	Here? In an alley in the Sea Ward? Really?
Merchant:	I feel safer. Less places they can come at us from. My buyer will be here soon. I promise.
Jarlaxle:	Have I mentioned how much I hate Waterdeep?
19	Defeat 25 Monsters		Waiting for the buyer in an alley doesn't really feel like it is on the up and up.
20	Defeat the Roguish Thief		A swarthy, roguish looking thief drops down from the building above. He seems intent on getting the merchants goods!
Nayeli:	This is ridiculous! Where is your buyer?
Merchant:	He will be here. Just a little longer.
Merchant:	Finally!
Tired Looking Cleric:	Sorry for the delay, I had to wait until you had taken care of the thieves.
Merchant:	I have your package. Do you have my payment?
Tired Looking Cleric:	About that... I wasn't able to get it all.
21	Defeat 25 Monsters		The buyer is finally here! Wait what do you mean she wants to haggle?
22	Defeat 25 Monsters		You have no choice but to hold off the attackers while the merchant and cleric make a deal.
23	Collect 25 Spy Emblems		It seems the attackers carry markings. Maybe you can identify them.
Celeste:	These marks... They're Zhentarim!
Bruenor:	Blast and bother, what a pain in me side!
Merchant:	I think we've come to an agreement!
Tired Looking Cleric:	Thank you! You won't regret it!
Jarlaxle:	So, we're done here, yes? I could do with a bath.
24	Defeat 25 Monsters		The merchant and cleric have made a deal, time to move on.
Zhentarim Assassin:	You won't escape this time.
Merchant:	More?! I think I shall take my leave!
Tired Looking Cleric:	Assassin!
25	Defeat the Zhentarim Assassin		Out from the shadows emerges an assassin! Kill him before he kills you!
Tired Looking Cleric:	I must get to the graveyard. This... this item is a component for a blessing. For my dear, departed daughter. You all seem capable. Could I ask...
Celeste:	Say no more. We shall see you safely there.
Jarlaxle:	*sighs*
Tired Looking Cleric:	We are almost there, my family crypt is just ahead.
Celeste:	Lead the way!
Nayeli:	She's very chipper when she's helping people.
Jarlaxle:	I know. It's... irksome.
26	Defeat 25 Monsters		The City of the Dead is not welcoming at night.
27	Collect 25 Flowers		Pick some fresh flowers to place on the cleric's daughter's grave.
28	Defeat 25 Monsters		Kobolds have taken up residence in the Crypt. You will need to get past them.
29	Defeat 25 Monsters		There seem to be more and more kobolds as you go deeper into the crypt.
30	Defeat the Kobold King		A large kobold with a crown of bone seems to be in charge. Depose him.
Nayeli:	Hah! It's not always good to be the king.
Jarlaxle:	Nayeli, I beg you. Not today. I already have a headache as it is.
Tired Looking Cleric:	Just one more chamber to go.
Celeste:	This place seems overrun with Kobolds. How long has it been since you were last here?
Tired Looking Cleric:	It matters not, keep going.
31	Defeat 25 Monsters		There are yet more Kobolds between you and your destination.
Tired Looking Cleric:	We will need candles. Can you gather some for me?
32	Collect 25 Candles		Collect some candles for use in the blessing.
33	Defeat 25 Monsters		With the candles gathered the cleric just needs a little time to complete the blessing.
Celeste:	What's going on! That is no blessing!
Tired Looking Cleric:	You simple fools! You will make lovely servants!
Nayeli:	Necromancer!
Jarlaxle:	Yes. Yes, I hate this place.
34	Defeat 25 Monsters		The cleric is no cleric at all! Her blessing was a ritual to raise the dead!
35	Defeat the Zombie Kobold King		The Kobold King has been raised as a zombie! Depose him. Again.
Tired Looking Cleric:	Fine have it your way!
Bruenor:	She be gettin' away! After her!
Bruenor:	Why do they always run?
Celeste:	Let's... let's just go.
36	Defeat 25 Monsters		Where did the necromancer go!? She's nowhere in sight... but there are still zombies!
37	Defeat 25 Monsters		This looks like an exit, fight through the zombie kobolds and escape.
Shifty Looking Halfling:	Hey! Watch where you're going!
Trade Ward Merchant:	Stop! Thief! He took my coin purse!
Bruenor:	Wait... He got mine too!
38	Defeat 25 Monsters		You can't go two steps without getting run into.
39	Collect 25 Street Kabobs		All this chasing is making you hungry. Maybe the traders have something worth eating.
40	Defeat the Master Thief		It is a dead end! Don't let this one get away!
Bruenor:	One less thief! Now tha's something I can git behind.
Celeste:	Come, let's return the purse to the merchant. At least we've done *some* good this night.
Celeste:	I think this is the Southern Ward.
Nayeli:	South Ward, Celeste. Only tourists call it the Southern Ward.
Bruenor:	Aye! That means we are almost ta the docks!
Celeste:	Do you smell smoke?
41	Defeat 25 Monsters		The stables are on fire! You drop what you are doing to help.
42	Defeat 25 Monsters		You won't be able to put out the fire until you clear out the fire elementals.
43	Collect 25 Saddles		These fine leather saddles are going to burn up if you don't save them.
44	Defeat 25 Monsters		Continue to clear the elementals the fire is almost out!
45	Defeat the Giant Burning Rat		A giant burning rat emerges from a nearby stall. Put him out! Put him down!
Celeste:	Well that's not something you see everyday!
Bruenor:	Mmm crispy and delicious!
Celeste:	You're not going to eat it are you?
Nayeli:	What do you think those kabobs were made of?
Celeste:	Oh. Oh no.
Bruenor:	The Docks! Won't be much further now.
Jarlaxle:	I don't believe you.
46	Defeat 25 Monsters		The docks are lousy with sailors. Go figure.
47	Defeat 25 Monsters		You make your way down the docks toward the tavern.
48	Defeat 25 Monsters		It's not a docks tavern without a brawl.
49	Collect 25 Pints of Ale		Brawl or no brawl, it's been a long day and it's time for a pint.
50	Defeat the Drunk Wizard		Nothing worse than a drunk wizard. Put him to bed for the night.
Bruenor:	Nothin' like a good brawl ta end tha day. Glad we put that drunkard down before he got all wiggly fingers with everyone.
Bruenor:	Time fer us to take our place by tha fire, kick off our boots, have us a drink and wait fer an elf.
