Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Is it just me, or is this day hanging heavy with foreboding?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
What are ye talkin' about, elf? 'Tis a beautiful day fer walkin'.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That's my point. A significant number of our most harrowing adventures start out exactly this same way. We need to stay at home more often. Or get a stronghold. Lots of adventurers have strongholds.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ah, just take a deep breath o' fresh air and be at one with nature. These wide-open plains. Them bouncin' bunnies ahead. Those clear skies. Them wolf packs.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Sorry, what was that last one again?
1 Defeat 25 Monsters Another day, another journey -- and another mob of wild creatures along for the ride!
2 Defeat 25 Monsters This passel of pups makes it clear what the wolves are defending. You need to send these canines on their way!
3 Collect 25 Boar Tusks A wild boar pack has been drawn to the sound of your fight! Cracking a few tusks might send these creatures on their way.
4 Defeat 25 Monsters From boars to bears. Is there any creature in these woods that isn't spoiling for a fight?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Well, this certainly hasn't been a boring journey so far. Something has these animals riled up.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
This is what I'm talking about. Foreboding, hanging there. Do you feel it too?
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I can't feel anything over the sound of you talking, drow. And whatever's growling up ahead sounds as though it's heard you too...
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Everyone quiet. There. Grizzly, dead ahead. And he's angry!
Fleetswake Portraits WaterdeepCitizen
Giles:
Help me! Oh, please!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
And just lyin' low and waitin' till he passes ain't gonna be an option. That there villager's in trouble. Come on!
5 Defeat the Grizzly Bear A monstrous grizzly is going to make a grisly end of this villager unless you can stop it!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Is this one going to be all right?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
The bear didn't hurt them too badly. More frightened than injured, I'd say.
Fleetswake Portraits WaterdeepCitizen
Giles:
Oh... what's happening? I don't... remember...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Just a bit o' bear trouble. Nothin' tha Champions couldn't handle. But ye probably shouldn't be walkin' alone right now, just in case that bruisin' bruin comes back.
Fleetswake Portraits WaterdeepCitizen
Giles:
No... not alone. I'm sorry, my name is Giles. My head feels... funny. But my village isn't far. There, just along that trail. There was... trouble there... I was looking for something, but I don't remember. I must get back!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
We're heading that way already, Giles, as it happens. We should probably go with you.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
You see? This happens a lot too. Wayward stranger, some unidentified peril. Foreboding...
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
You're confusing 'foreboding' with 'helping others with no thought of reward,' Jarlaxle. I'm sure this will be an eye-opening experience for you.
6 Defeat 25 Monsters As you head for the village, the last of the bears are hot in pursuit. Send these beasts on their way!
Fleetswake Portraits WaterdeepCitizen
Giles:
There. Things are quiet now, as they should be.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ye sure, friend? Ye was actin' a mite scared back there.
Fleetswake Portraits WaterdeepCitizen
Giles:
Oh! Yes. Something is wrong in the village... but why can't I remember?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
This is... odd. Look, those flowers ahead. They don't look entirely natural.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well, I don't want to cause any foreboding...
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Jarlaxle...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
But I'm hearing something coming in fast from ahead. Something flying...
7 Collect 25 Strange Flowers A skittering of wings announces an assault of pixies and sprites! And these strange flowers must have something to do with the fey assault!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
This is strange. That mist notwithstanding, these don't feel like fey woods to me. And these flowers are a rare bloom. Ye'Cind's tears. Not normally found in these climes -- and rumored to be imbued with enchantment magic.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Giles, do you know why the pixies and sprites attacked? Has your village had problems with them in the past?
Fleetswake Portraits WaterdeepCitizen
Giles:
Pixies? Sprites? No, there's no fey around these parts.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Includin' or not includin' tha ones that just attacked us?
Fleetswake Portraits WaterdeepCitizen
Giles:
Attacked? When?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Pretty sure that's nothing to worry about.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Jarlaxle, that bear attack has left Giles in shock. Just let it go.
8 Defeat 25 Monsters You arrive at Giles's village safe and sound -- or at least you'll be safe once these rats are dealt with!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Right, them rats is scattered. Giles is back with their people. But somethin' is definitely goin' on in these parts. These folks is lookin' right frantic.
Icon Portrait OrvexOcrammas
Wulfa:
You there! The Champions, Giles called you? All of you have our eternal thanks for our friend's safe return. I'm Wulfa, the headfolk here. And though I fear I make a poor host, I would beseech you for aid in our hour of need.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The Champions give aid wherever it's asked for, Wulfa. But what's going on?
Icon Portrait OrvexOcrammas
Wulfa:
Three missing children. They must have run away this morning. We have search parties out, but the aid of powerful adventurers might make the difference. If night falls... well, you've no doubt seen what type of beasts roam these woods.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Say no more, friend. Just point us where we need ta go, and tha champions will get it done.
9 Defeat 25 Monsters You're set to scour the woods for the missing child -- but this pack of wild dogs looks desperate to keep you company.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Lots of ground to cover here, even with the villagers searching. We might need to split up.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
In these woods? You'll be asking for an ambush. I can't shake this feeling that something's out there. Something malevolent.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Jarlaxle, there are children out there.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No, something even more malevolent than that.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Don't mean ta interrupt ye, but am I tha only one hearin' tha howlin' o' them wild dogs gettin' louder?
10 Defeat the Alpha Wolf An alpha wolf has turned these wild canines into a hunting pack. Send it on its way and the pack will scatter!
11 Defeat 25 Monsters The last of the wild dogs are in a frenzy. One solid stand will drive them away!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That's tha last o' them dogs on their way. But tha noise they made is gonna draw in every other predator within a mile.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Well, if the predators are focused on us, that might keep the lost children safer for a time.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I can see movement ahead. Watch yourselves.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
What is it? More dogs? Wolves? Bears, boars?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Far worse...
12 Defeat 25 Monsters Your fight through the forest has disturbed a fluffle of rabbits. Get them under control!
FestivalofFools Portraits ConcernedWife
Mera:
Oh... oh, help me!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
What in Tyr's name? There's someone hiding, there in the trees. There, now. It's all right. But who are you? How did you get here?
FestivalofFools Portraits ConcernedWife
Mera:
I came from the village... needed to find the Champions. 'Mera,' they said, 'find the Champions!' But... I don't remember why...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Did pixies attack you? Their magic might have affected your memory.
FestivalofFools Portraits ConcernedWife
Mera:
Pixies? There are no pixies in these woods.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
This all sounds awfully familiar. And this incoming pixie mob looks awfully familiar! Watch out!
13 Collect 25 Pixie Dust Caught between vengeful rabbits and a rabid pixie pack! Stand fast!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
That's the second attack by pixies out of nowhere. And was it my imagination, or did it seem like they were focused on driving us back from following the children, not just harassing us?
FestivalofFools Portraits ConcernedWife
Mera:
The children! Yes! I remember now!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
It's all right, Mera, we're still searching. When we find the children, we'll get you and them back to your village safely.
FestivalofFools Portraits ConcernedWife
Mera:
No. No! No safety in the village. That's why I came. Orcs! Orcs are attacking!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Say what now? We ain't seen no sign o' orc raiders anywhere in these woods.
FestivalofFools Portraits ConcernedWife
Mera:
Over the river they came. We've driven them off, but they'll return. You must pursue them, Champions. Come, please!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like we're splittin' tha party after all, then. We'll need one force ta get back ta tha village with Mera, and one ta keep lookin' fer tha lost nippers. Time ta split up, Champions!
14 Defeat 25 Monsters The deeper woods are filled with a malevolent presence. Twig blights are everywhere!
15 Defeat the Tree Blight A powerful tree blight is whipping these twig blights into a murderous frenzy. Time to prune these evil plants!
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
That's the last of those blasted blights under control. It's hard enough beating a path through these woods without the woods beating you back.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
It's good we cleared this area. And better that there's no sign of child-sized tracks anywhere.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Walnut, do you think you can pick up the children's trail?
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
Count on it. Come on.
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
Lots of tracks through here. Hard to read them... but that's a child-sized footprint there for sure.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
So we're still on the right track... conveniently.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Something still weighing on your mind, Jarlaxle?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh, you know. Hidden enemies. Unseen plots. That sort of thing.
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
You might have a better chance of being hit by what you can't see. But you've got better odds hitting what you can see, so I'd say focus on that. Those boars, for example. Everybody scatter!
16 Defeat 25 Monsters A wild boar hunting pack crosses your path -- and these pigs seem intent on making a meal of you!
17 Defeat 25 Monsters Your presence draws a bandit scout party out from the trees! Roust them well!
18 Collect 25 Stolen Purses Another force of bandits presses in as snipers attack from range. Lightening these brigands of their ill-gotten gains might break their resolve!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That's a bandit camp through those trees. I'm not liking this.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We're agreed on something, finally. Walnut, the child's tracks?
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
Lost them in the mess that last fight made. But they were heading this way last I saw them.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
If the bandits have them, this fight just got personal. Come on!
19 Defeat 25 Monsters The bandits' camp is most likely where the children are being held. Clear these reprobates out!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
There! That sorcerer is leading these brigands. Take them out!
Icon Portrait BanditSorcerer
Bandit Sorcerer:
Hold the line! Bring the archers in! No shabby band of adventurers can stand against us!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Shabby? Outrageous! Many of us are well dressed. Well, some of us. One of us.
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
I hate to get in the way of a good fashion beef, but pretend I'm Bruenor making some annoying rhyme about less yakkety-yak and more stabbity-stab. Go!
20 Defeat the Bandit Sorcerer The sorcerer who leads these brigands is spoiling for a fight. Time to give it to them!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I take it you've had enough?
Icon Portrait BanditSorcerer
Bandit Sorcerer:
Oh, my head... yes, enough. Who are you people?
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
Adventurers with a conscience. Your worst nightmare. But play nice and we'll return the favor. You seen any kids come through here?
Icon Portrait BanditSorcerer
Bandit Sorcerer:
Children? What, are you kidding? You've seen how sharp daggers are, right?!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We're thinking more along the lines of, 'Have you kidnaped any children recently?' And understand that we're a bit pressed for time.
Icon Portrait BanditSorcerer
Bandit Sorcerer:
Never! We're entirely honorable cutthroat brigands, and proud of it. We haven't seen any children in the woods, you can take my word for that.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Well, he's got no reason to lie now. Let's send these reprobates on their way. Then we need to keep moving.
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
There! That's the children's trail again. Everyone stay with me.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
The tracks are heading deeper into the woods. Does that seem odd to you? Frightened children heading for the darkest part of the forest?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Yes, it seems odd, but the tracks don't lie. So the faster we find the children, the faster we can get them turned around.
21 Defeat 25 Monsters The children's tracks lead deeper into the forest -- and wolf territory!
22 Defeat 25 Monsters Dark and rain make tracking the children hard enough, even without the wolves trying to push you back!
23 Defeat 25 Monsters The wolves are breaking finally -- but swarms of giant bats hinder your final assault!
24 Collect 25 Bat Wings These bats are relentless. Clipping their wings might slow them down!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
All this bat shrieking is making it impossible to hear what else might be out there. But that's a cave entrance -- and I can see something big coming out of it!
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
Vampire bat! And it's a beauty! The rest of its cloud is trying to soften us up for the big guy's attack.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Then we need to convince them we're in a particularly tough and stringy mood. Hit them hard!
25 Defeat the BOSS A monstrous vampire bat is behind this giant bat assault. Take this bloodsucker down!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
The vampire bat's out of it, but the rest aren't taking the hint. We need to get into the cave.
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
That was my next suggestion. The kids' tracks are heading straight in there. Not even slowing down...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I'll assume that thoughtful pause means you're thinking like I've been talking. There's something not on the level here.
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
No. But Celeste had it right. The faster we catch up, the faster we figure it out.
26 Defeat 25 Monsters The last of the giant bats pursue you in a frenzy, even as giant spiders are drawn to join the fray!
Icon Walnut
Walnut:
The bats are fleeing. Time to squash these monster bugs finally.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Wait! Listen. The bats are fleeing from something else...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Pixies! Look at that mob!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
And look who they're chasing.
Icon Portrait OrvexOcrammas
Wulfa:
Champions! Thank goodness I've found you! But... confound it, the mosquitoes are bad this time of year.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Another villager seemingly blind to the fey. This gets more interesting all the time.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Him ignoring them won't keep him safe. Champions! Get to Wulfa and clear these sprites out!
27 Defeat 25 Monsters The sprites following Wulfa are out of control! Send them and the spiders on their way!
Icon Portrait OrvexOcrammas
Wulfa:
Champions! Thank goodness I've found you!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yes, you said so already. In exactly the same tone and inflection. Celeste, admit I'm right. It won't hurt. And it'll make admitting it the next time that much easier.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Yes, Jarlaxle, you're right. It's like some kind of enchantment... powerful magic.
Icon Portrait OrvexOcrammas
Wulfa:
Yes, powerful! That's why I've come, Champions. A strange creature was seen flying near the village. A powerful dragon, perhaps!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
This is all getting to be a bit too much.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I agree. But we can't afford not to take it at face value. If some sort of enchantment affects the villagers, some creature must be behind it. We need to get back. But we need to find the children...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I know, I know. Everybody gather up, then divide up. One group gets Wulfa back to the village. The rest of us need to get these errant children back and figure out what's going on.
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Finally in the front ranks. It's good to have some room to cast.
Icon Delina
Delina:
Just mind your personal space, wizard. When I start casting for real, I don't want you and your little colored orbs to get in the way.
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Casting for real? How precious. I expect you've learned all sorts of new spells of late? Oh, no, I forgot. You can't.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
While there's normally nothing I like better than standing by and listening to a wizard and a sorcerer whining at each other about whose spell list is bigger, I'd like to suggest we focus. On that barricade just ahead, perhaps? Because we've got more spiders coming in fast!
28 Defeat 1 Debris Pile This strange pile of debris blocking the path leaves you at the mercy of another spider assault! Clear the barricade, and quickly!
29 Defeat 25 Monsters The walls of the tunnel are alive with giant caterpillars! Get past these grubs!
30 Defeat the Spiked Caterpillar A monstrous spiked caterpillar drives its lesser kin into a feeding frenzy. Hit them hard!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Look there! Is boot prints leading forward now. Small tracks of children are gone.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Convenient. Any idea who's ahead of us?
Icon Delina
Delina:
Just get them in range and we won't need to worry about it. Time to let the casters lower the boom.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
As long as the casters don't lower the ceiling. Watch yourself down here, or you're going to get to see how mage hand handles heavy excavation work...
31 Defeat 25 Monsters The tunnel winds deeper down beneath the earth -- and a surfeit of skunks seemingly calls this place home!
32 Defeat 25 Monsters The skunks want to get away, but a sudden influx of giant spiders turns the fight into chaos!
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
That's the last of the skunks fleeing. Now where do we find fresh air?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
About a mile back in the other direction by my reckoning. Just breathe through your mouth and keep moving.
Icon Delina
Delina:
Hey! Dancing lights shows something ahead.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Giant rats! Everyone stand fast!
33 Collect 25 Rat Tails Attracted by the sound of the fight, this pack of giant rats hopes to catch you unawares! Taking a few trophies from them might change their minds!
34 Defeat 25 Monsters The giant rats were just the scouts for those who really control these tunnels. Wererats are on the attack!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
These tunnels are rats' nest of wererats! There is no end to them!
Icon Delina
Delina:
All the better. Keep them packed in nice and tight, then let me at them.
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
And you'll be out of spell slots and overrun in no time. Look there and you'll see the real target. The one leading these riffraff. A little targeted damage takes them out, and the rest will scatter.
Icon Delina
Delina:
I think you meant to say 'the rest will smolder,' because I am burning this fight down.
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Arcane amateur. Let me show you how it's done.
35 Defeat the Rat King A fearsome rat king leads these lycanthropes. Take all these villains down!
36 Defeat 25 Monsters More giant spiders come careening out of the darkness. Drive them back!
37 Defeat 25 Monsters Chittering from above and below heralds the arrival of giant bats and giant rats! Step lively!
Icon Delina
Delina:
Still a few of those rodents moving, high and low. Another lightning bolt should clear them out.
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Actually, only the rats are rodents. Bats are of the order Chiroptera.
Icon Delina
Delina:
And casting lightning bolt means I can't hear you for six seconds. That's a win-win.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I think we've had a few too many lightning bolts already. This tunnel is going to start to crumble... no, scratch that! It's starting already! Everybody move!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Everybody all right?
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Is only half of everybody that I see. But those all look unhurt.
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Boo says he hears voices on other side of collapse! Other friends are safe too. Just apart from us. We must find own way now.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yes. Our numbers divided again. Right on schedule, seemingly.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
You are still speaking of some ruse at play here? This is complex plot if so.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Indeed. But these tunnels can't run much farther. We're at the endgame soon, one way or the other.
38 Collect 25 Lanterns You'll need light for these deeper tunnels -- but a hobgoblin patrol is intent on keeping you in the dark! Grab your lanterns before they can be smashed!
39 Defeat 25 Monsters Wolves patrolling the perimeter press in at the hobgoblins' call! Stand fast!
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
I see, Boo. Boo says hobgoblin shouty-person is making warriors fight.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That's one of their war priests. No wonder the rank and file won't back down. We'll have to take the priest down first! Then maybe the rest will take the hint...
40 Defeat the Hobgoblin Priest A hobgoblin priest orders their forces to hold this tunnel. Push through!
41 Defeat 25 Monsters The hobgoblins scatter, but the last of the wolves pursue you toward the tunnel's end -- and a pack of giant rats has been drawn in by their howling!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Listen! Rats have skittered away. Wolves are gone. All is quiet.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
All is quiet except the sound of water from ahead. That's an underground river. What's the footprint situation?
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Still troubled. Tracks are here, tracks are there. Hard to read. But someone came through here, and not long ago.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Then we keep going. Come on.
42 Defeat 25 Monsters The rats are close to falling back -- but this underground river is grung territory!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
What are grungs doing down here? And if they're attacking us, why are there no signs of them fighting whoever we're following?
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
We follow people who are very sneaky, perhaps.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Or we're following someone the grungs are working with -- meaning the grungs are waiting for us. We're going to have to fight our way through this horde so we're not surrounded. Let's move!
43 Collect 25 Fishing Nets The grungs plan on using their fishing nets to hinder your progress. Grab them all!
44 Defeat 25 Monsters As fast as you push the grungs back, still more push in!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Listen! That hooting ahead!
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Owlbear! Watch yourselves!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Wait... you understand Boo, too?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No, I've just heard an owlbear before. Literally everyone has heard an owlbear.
Icon Deekin
Deekin:
Boss! Owlbear hears us! Doom!
45 Defeat the Owlbear You leave the river behind you at last -- but a pursuing force of grungs forces you straight into this owlbear's lair!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Everyone stay close. One wrong step in this darkness and we'll never see you again.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Minsc stays close, but Boo is here just in case. Everyone knows miniature giant space hamsters have superior vision in dark.
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well, I feel better already.
Icon Deekin
Deekin:
Boss! Boots ahead! Running fast! Doooooom!!!
46 Defeat 25 Monsters The last of the hobgoblins regroup for a final assault! Well, final for them, anyway...
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
All hold! Let Minsc through. There... yes. Booted footprints.
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
Minsc, hon, that's back the way the hobgoblins were coming.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Minsc knows this. Minsc was just wanting to point out that these booted footprints ahead are the same. There, clear trail along tunnel.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Excellent. And those tracks are fresh. Whoever's ahead isn't that far ahead...
47 Defeat 25 Monsters The path ahead is clear -- but undead shadows swarm from the darkness to block your way!
48 Collect 25 Shadowy Gems The shadowy gems that litter this area are fueling the power of this undead swarm. Grab them and banish these shadows for good!
49 Defeat 25 Monsters The cave gives way to an ancient temple, guarded by zombies! But your business is with their unseen master. Push through!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
There! Ahead is well-dressed zombie running temple!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
So close, Minsc. That's a lich. And it looks awfully familiar...
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Boo, you are right! That lich is undead scourge we fought before in village under attack by zombies! Old amulet we found was lich's phylactery! Helpful wizard helped us destroy foul creature!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well, I don't see any helpful wizards in sight this time, so we're on our own. Push through these zombies, then hit this thing fast and hard!
50 Defeat the Lich This insolent lich is back for a rematch. Show this undead lord that the Champions only get tougher the second time around!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Heh. No helpful wizard needed after all. And this even with party split and split and split again. A fine victory, this is. And the end to a mystery. You were right, you think, Jarlaxle? All we have seen was set up by lich?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I'd bet on it. The villagers, all under some kind of enchantment, no doubt using the power of those flowers Celeste recognized. New threats popping up to cut down our numbers. A few halfling zombies leaving childrens' tracks. And the pixies trying to warn us, apparently. Like I told you all. Foreboding.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
You are well right, friend Jarlaxle. Four bodings, far too many. One or two is fine most days, though.
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Boo says...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No, I think I'm getting the gist now. Boo says time to backtrack and find our friends. Let's go.
