Seeking Allies
Attempt to get on the good side of some academic wizards.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
1	Defeat 25 Monsters		Rumor has it that a group of wizards are working to find a cure for the death curse.
Bruenor:	Do ya think Trollbark tree bark is any different from other tree bark? Only one way ta find out, I suppose.
2	Collect 18 Trollbark Tree Bark		They're said to be working out of an abandonded dungeon in the Trollbark Forest, south of Daggerford.
Bruenor:	Ugh. Spiders. Moradin help me if there are many more of these.
3	Collect 12 Spider Web Strands		Webs begin to appear in the branches of the trees above. It's strong webbing; useful in a pinch.
4	Defeat 25 Monsters		The webs grow denser. You're approaching a spider's lair for sure.
5	Defeat the Giant Zombie Spider		A Zombie Spider leaps from above. Someone's already killed it once, you can kill it again.
6	Defeat 25 Monsters		Battle your way to the dungeon entrance, just ahead.
Nayeli:	The dungeon seems to be infested with undead.
Bruenor:	That's no good. Where are the wizards that were supposed ta be here?
7	Defeat 25 Monsters		Zombies are pouring out of the dungeon. This doesn't look good.
8	Collect 20 Zombie Rags		Gather some rags from the zombies to see if you can figure out where they came from.
9	Defeat 25 Monsters		The rags are fresh and relatively clean. These zombies haven't been undead for very long.
10	Defeat the Zombie Wizard		A groaning wizard shambles from the entrance, slinging spells at random. When he sees you, he charges.
Surviving Wizard:	Thank you for clearing out those zombies, friends.
Bruenor:	It's our pleasure. What happened here?
Surviving Wizard:	We had just set up our base camp when the undead attacked from deeper in the dungeon. From what we can tell, the whole thing is crawling with them.
11	Defeat 25 Monsters		Cautiously enter the dungeon while searching for any signs of life.
12	Collect 5 Tattered Spell Scrolls		Recover some spell scrolls from the undead in this room.
Surviving Wizard:	The information we seek - the origin of the death curse affecting your friend - is deep in the dungeon, but the undead attack took too much out of us.
Bruenor:	Rest here for a while. We'll find what you need.
Surviving Wizard:	Seek out the most powerful undead. He will know where this Death Curse originates.
13	Defeat 25 Monsters		Clear the remaining undead from this chamber before moving on.
14	Defeat 25 Monsters		You hear crashing from a chamber just down the hallway. Fight your way to it.
15	Defeat the Ghast		The leader of the ghouls has appeared - a cunning (by ghoul standards) Ghast!
16	Defeat 25 Monsters		The ghoul pack seem disorganized with their leader dead.
Researching Wizard:	If you have a moment, the ghouls stole some magic rings from us. Can you get them back?
Bruenor:	We were going to kill them anyway, so I don't see why not.
17	Collect 25 Rings of Mind Shielding		Gather some of the wizard's pilfered research equipment from the ghouls before they all flee.
Nayeli:	If we're going to find this 'powerful undead,' we'll need to find a way deeper into the dungeon.
18	Defeat 25 Monsters		Search for a path deeper into the dungeon.
19	Defeat 25 Monsters		The halls here seem quieter for some reason, though undead still lurk in every shadow.
20	Defeat the Specter		As you approach the stairs, an undead specter floats up from under the stone.
21	Defeat 25 Monsters		These levels are over-run by undead so ancient, their flesh has rotted away.
22	Collect 22 Pitted Iron Ingots		This chamber has been looted repeatedly over the years. Search for anything of value.
23	Defeat 25 Monsters		You fumble and accidentally drop an ingot. The loud clanging brings a fresh wave of skeletons charging at you.
Bruenor:	Whoops!
24	Defeat 25 Monsters		Skeletons armed with ragged bows join the fight. Be careful!
Celeste:	Skeletal archers? That's just plain mean.
25	Defeat the Skeleton Deadeye Archer		A powerful looking skeleton with a wicked looking bow begins attacking from the far end of the room.
26	Defeat 25 Monsters		Continue to search this floor for some sign of the powerful creature the wizards mentioned.
27	Defeat 25 Monsters		Another set of stairs appears before you. May as well see what's down there.
28	Collect 25 Pitted Gold Ingots		You emerge from the stairs in a large chamber that was once some sort of massive vault.
29	Defeat 25 Monsters		You hear a shrieking from across the room. Head towards it.
Wraith:	Turn back.
Bruenor:	Tell us what you know, or we'll take it by force.
Wraith:	Fools. You are fighting for the wrong side.
Bruenor:	We fight for the living.
30	Defeat the Wraith		The wraith seems to be protecting an intact gold-inlaid chest.
Jarlaxle:	Look, in the chest. A crystal ball of some sort.
Bruenor:	Let's get this back to the wizards up top. It might help.
31	Defeat 25 Monsters		Time to head back up to the upper levels to get the truth out of the wizards.
32	Defeat 25 Monsters		You reach the staircase leading up to the next level.
33	Defeat 25 Monsters		You hear the sounds of fighting above. The Wizards must be in trouble!
34	Collect 25 Skeletal Arrows		Gather some arrows from the skeleton archers in case they're needed up above.
Bruenor:	We recovered this crystal ball from a wraith deep in the dungeon.
Red Wizard Agent:	Excellent. Hand it over.
Bruenor:	Will you share what you learn? We are trying to help a dying noble.
Red Wizard Agent:	Share? With you? Hah! The Red Wizards of Thay *take* what they need. And we no longer need you.
35	Defeat the Red Wizard Agent		Betrayal! The wizard turns on you, alongside the undead, and attacks!
Red Wizard Agent:	Not so fast. You're under my spell, now... you won't be coming back from where I'm about to send you!
Bruenor:	Um. Where are we? This doesn't look good.
36	Defeat 25 Monsters		You wake up to find yourself in an unfamiliar realm. You've got a bad feeling about this.
37	Defeat 25 Monsters		Everything is on fire. The heat is so oppressive you can barely breathe.
38	Defeat 25 Monsters		A hill appears before you. If you can just get over it, perhaps you'll find safety.
39	Defeat 25 Monsters		Nothing. The land beyond is just as inhospitable as the land before.
Celeste:	Look out!
40	Defeat the Inferno Elemental		A massive elemental rises up from a pool of bubbling magma.
41	Defeat 25 Monsters		The heat subsides somewhat, but you're still completely lost.
42	Collect 6 Singed Spell Scrolls		The corpses of several white-robed wizards litter the ground here. Search them.
Celeste:	This scroll here - we could use to to escape! It's a Scroll of Plane Shift! Well, it's most of one, at least.
43	Collect 14 Ripped Spell Scrolls		The Scroll of Plane Shift you found is missing the bottom half. Search for it amongst the corpses.
Celeste:	It will take some time to prepare the spell. Hold them off.
44	Defeat 25 Monsters		A fresh horde of fiends appear. Hold them off while you prepare to cast Plane Shift.
45	Defeat the Barbed Devil		A barbed devil appears leading an enraged contigent of Quasits.
Celeste:	Here goes nothing... [casts Plane Shift]
Bruenor:	Where are we now?
Nayeli:	Somewhere better than before... but smellier.
46	Defeat 25 Monsters		You find yourself in a damp, smelly sewer.
47	Collect 18 Clean Water		After the heat of the demonic realm, you're exhausted and dehydrated.
48	Defeat 25 Monsters		You spot sunlight ahead. An exit from the sewer, perhaps?
49	Defeat 25 Monsters		You emerge in an expansive harbor area. How convenient. A ship would be the fastest way to Chult.
Bruenor:	Look there! The Red Wizards' agent!
Nayeli:	After our last meeting, I'd like a rematch.
50	Defeat the Red Wizard Agent		The Red Wizard's Agent also appears to be looking for passage. Ambush him this time!
Bruenor:	He was booking passage to Chult. That must be where the crystal orb was pointing them.
Jarlaxle:	There's a perfectly fine boat here. What say we take it? We can be in Chult in a tenday.
