Tekeli-li's Hunt
Continue to explore the Caves of Hunger, with a mad vampire gnoll on your tail.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Bruenor:	Gah! Don't matter how fast we move, there's no gettin' away from that vampire's endless cacklin'. 'Tis always there, just echoin'... echoin'...
Hew Maan:	Need to get your mind off vampires you can't see? Just try to focus your mind elsewhere. Like, for example, on all the vampire spawn you can see, slipping through the shadows ahead.
Calliope:	Not sure you're helping all that much with morale, Hew.
Hew Maan:	Just let me get close, I'll teach them a lesson!
Calliope:	Nope, still nothing. But thanks for the warning. Everybody, heads up!
1	Defeat 25 Monsters		Kobold vampire spawn hold this section of the Caves of Hunger -- and have no intention of letting you pass!
2	Defeat 25 Monsters		Even as you start to force the spawn to break, gnoll vampires reappear to shore up the line!
3	Collect 25 Pages of Netherese Writings		Ancient Netherese writings might hold clues to the secrets of Ythryn. Grab them up!
4	Defeat 25 Monsters		With the last of the gnoll vampires fallen, the kobold vampire spawn are driven into a blood frenzy!
Nayeli:	This pack of spawn is running out of fight. One solid push should break them!
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	Minsc sees what Boo squeaks of! Spawn are opening up ranks to bring forth ally! Troll comes! All must stand fast!
Bruenor:	Poor blighter looks like he's starvin'. All these undead around ain't worth nothin' foodwise. But we gotta let him know that tha Champions ain't on tha menu!
5	Defeat the Ice Troll		An ice troll ambles forth from the shadows to join the vampire spawn assault. Stand fast!
6	Defeat 25 Monsters		Ice-encrusted piercers fill the caverns ahead, making a deadly gauntlet. Move quickly!
Nayeli:	The energy of the undead shifts around us again. Something's coming.
Wulfgar:	More shadows! They're using the piercers as cover while they shift into position.
Nayeli:	Don't let them surround us! Hit them, and quickly!
7	Defeat 25 Monsters		Even as the piercer assault continues unabated, undead shadows spill forth from the tunnels ahead!
8	Collect 25 Spell Scrolls		Long-lost spell scrolls will provide a much-needed assist in this fight. Seize them!
Bruenor:	Oi! Where's all this wall o' steam suddenly comin' from?
Minsc:	Heat ahead is intense! Volcanic vent must be near.
Wulfgar:	I don't like the look of this. That remorhaz we fought in the upper tunnels? I'm thinking this is their lair -- which means we should look for a way around it.
Calliope:	Minsc and I have scouted all directions already. This is the fastest way forward, and we've already got those shadows breathing down our necks! There's nothing for it but to keep on -- and to keep an eye out for that monstrous worm before it makes a repeat appearance.
Minsc:	Good news and bad news on that account. Good news: Minsc sees monstrous worm, but is much smaller than before. Bad news: monstrous worm has many, many friends!
9	Defeat 25 Monsters		A sudden change in temperature marks your arrival in a vast complex of remorhaz caves -- and the young rhemorazes that lair here are keen to join the shadow fight!
Nayeli:	What in Tyr's name... the shadows have retreated. What's managed to scare them if they're not already scared of us?
Tekeli-li:	Perhaps they're not frightened, paladin? Perhaps they've fallen back to open up space on the field? For me?! Ha ha!
Bruenor:	Vampire! Focus everythin' ye got on that cacklin' undead! Take it down!
10	Defeat the Tekeli-li		As another wave of young remorhazes slams against you, Tekeli-li makes another surprise appearance! Don't let the vampire get away this time!
Bruenor:	Great thunderin'... I swear, that gnoll bloodsucker's gettin' under me skin somethin' fierce.
Mjenir:	Take solace in the fact that he's clearly no match for the Champions, Bruenor. He's been lucky enough to flee so far, but that luck will run out.
Jarlaxle:	Maybe less focus on foes that aren't here in favor of foes who are? The remorhaz young are regrouping. We need to move!
11	Defeat 25 Monsters		In a cooler section of the caves, another pack of young remorhazes advance -- and a squad of undead flameskulls have been attracted to the sounds of the fray!
12	Defeat 25 Monsters		Getting out of the remorhaz nest is your first priority. But the remorhaz young are so thick on the ground, you need to clear them out each step of the way!
Jarlaxle:	The number of young in these caves is defying some sort of natural law. Or perhaps even all the natural laws. They're endless! We can't get past them!
Celeste:	The heat here must sustain them even in the absence of abundant prey. But they've got as much of an appetite for fresh meat as any predator.
Jarlaxle:	Yes, I'd sussed that out from the number of them I've had to convince to stop gnawing on my legs.
Celeste:	I don't know if they'll be susceptible to distraction, but there's something we might try. Everyone, with me!
13	Collect 25 Remorhaz Eggs		The remorhaz young respond only to the most obvious threats. Threatening some of these remorhaz eggs might catch them off guard!
14	Defeat 25 Monsters		The exit from the nest tunnels is in sight! But as fast as you push them back, these young remorhazes just throw themselves back into the fight!
Wulfgar:	Listen! Did this deafening skittering sound just drop down an octave?
Calliope:	I was hoping I was just weak to the point where I was hearing things.
Jarlaxle:	No such luck. Look sharp! The full-sized remorhaz is back!
Catti-brie:	I guess convincing it that we've just been helping the kids get some exercise is probably a lost cause?
Bruenor:	If ye wanna try diplomacy with that monstrosity, be me guest. But I'm gonna be takin' a firmer stand on negotiations!
15	Defeat the Remorhaz		The progenitor of these nestlings has returned! Hit this remorhaz hard if you want to get clear of these tunnels at last!
Bruenor:	Remorhaz down! Fer a little while, at least. Everybody run!
Calliope:	Everybody's already running, Bruenor! You're the only one not running, because you're standing there telling everyone to run!
Bruenor:	Well, consider that remedied. Let's go!
16	Defeat 25 Monsters		As you continue your descent, the lost residents of Ythryn harry your steps as undead shadows!
17	Defeat 25 Monsters		Skeletons trapped in these caverns for nearly two thousand years seek vengeance for the tragedy that cut short their lives!
Calliope:	We can't make any headway against these undead! They're packed in so tight, it's like fighting in a broom closet!
Bruenor:	Just keep hittin' 'em! We'll make a clean sweep o' this lot soon 'nuff!
Jarlaxle:	That clean-up just got more complicated. Chardalyn dragonets, heading this way!
18	Collect 25 Chardalyn Shards		Another swarm of chardalyn dragonets pursues you through the glacier's depths! Take these constructs out -- and then seize their shattered remains to keep them from reforming!
19	Defeat 25 Monsters		The shadows of Ythryn close in around you, seeking to stop your advance!
20	Defeat the Shadow Demon		A shadow demon shores up the undead threat in these caverns! Take this fiend down!
Nayeli:	That's the shadow demon sent back to whatever abyssal cesspit spawned it. And the last of the shadows have scattered with its departure.
Jarlaxle:	We've still got skeletons to deal with, though. They've fallen back beyond the end of the tunnel... wait. Look there.
Minsc:	Minsc sees it too. Tracks along ice floor where skeletons have retreated. But other tracks beneath are different. Not bony foot claws. Booted marks. Humanoids have passed this way, and recently.
Bruenor:	Humanoids? So someone else got down here before us? Before we cracked open tha glacier? How?
Celeste:	Magic, perhaps. If they'd managed somehow to scry a destination down here. But alternatively, there are other ways to get here besides coming down...
Bruenor:	Celeste called it. Someone's been explorin' these tunnels. They set themselves up a whole outpost, even! Comin' in from tha Underdark, not tha surface.
Celeste:	The ice at the foot of the glacier will be stone hard from all that pressure. But if stone can be cracked, so can it. We need to determine who's down here, and what their business is. Being able to work with them might make our mission that much easier.
Jarlaxle:	I wouldn't hold your breath on that. That place has the look of a drow outpost to my eyes. Even if they're here on non-nefarious business, they likely won't be keen to discover someone else is staking out the same claim they have.
Calliope:	I think we'll need to table the detente talk for now. We won't be talking to anybody if we can't clear these freaking undead out!
21	Defeat 25 Monsters		Unknown drow have established an outpost in these icy tunnels and caves -- but skeletons and gnoll vampires mean to hinder your exploration!
22	Defeat 25 Monsters		The last of the skeletons are shattered, but a pack of flameskulls soar in to shore up the vampires' assault!
Jarlaxle:	Heads up! We've got company of the non-undead variety.
Yilsebek:	I told you we should have left sentries. Fall back and into position! Take these gnoll vampires... well, hello! Can I guess that we have you rabble to thank for bringing the undead down upon our outpost?
Vellynne:	A minor misunderstanding, friend. As one wizard to another, let's talk about what's brought us both here -- after we deal with these undead together.
Yilsebek:	Hold your tongue, outlander. I am Yilsebek Dalambra, and these tunnels and the ruin they guard are mine! Flee while you can, or face the fate of all who trespass here!
23	Collect 25 Rations		The drow appear at last -- and are more keen on attacking than talking! Collecting their rations where the undead have scattered them might help win them over!
24	Defeat 25 Monsters		The drow aren't backing down! You need to get this crew of explorer wizards under control!
Bruenor:	Well, that's got them drow runnin' -- right inta their outpost. I wonder if they're puttin' tha tea on fer us?
Jarlaxle:	If they have, take a solid shot of antitoxin before you drink any. I suppose moving through the outpost is the only way forward?
Vellynne:	The only way that's going to make sure we reach the enclave before the drow do. Scouting out a new route around them might take days.
Tekeli-li:	Ha! Caught between ice and elves, between forward and back. So stay here a while, Champions! Let's pick up where we left off!
25	Defeat the Tekeli-li		The vampire Tekeli-li makes an opportunistic assault once more -- with a force of gnoll vampires leading the charge!
Bruenor:	Ain't even got tha energy ta care about that blighter mistin' off again. Gonna just start pretendin' it's sparrin' practice every time he shows up.
Celeste:	The sound of that cackling laugh must be carrying halfway back to the surface. It's going to bring down even more undead on us. If we're pushing through the drow outpost, we need to do it now.
Yilsebek:	The outlanders arrive! Your timing is perfect. There's no telling what threats we might face as we descend into Ythryn. So let's take some target practice!
Jarlaxle:	All right, I like the attitude of devil-may-care bravado as much as the next person. But trust me, if you're seeking a fight with the Champions, it'll end badly.
Celeste:	Yilsebek, we just want to talk. We're on a mission to restore Icewind Dale in the aftermath of Auril's endless winter. If there's power to be found in Ythryn, we're happy to share...
Yilsebek:	Listen to the thief. Breaking into my home, then offering to share what they've stolen. Ythryn is ours by right of claim and conquest! And nothing will stand in our way!
26	Defeat 25 Monsters		The drow wizards aren't interested in negotiation. So be it!
27	Defeat 25 Monsters		Zombie spiders lurking in distant caverns are drawn to the sound of the fray!
28	Defeat 1 Fallen Wall		A fallen wall gives the drow cover -- and lets a wandering pack of flameskulls pin you down! Clear it out!
29	Defeat 25 Monsters		The drow wizards take advantage of another wave of spiders harrying you! Take these vermin down!
Bruenor:	One last chance, drow. Ye can end this fight, and we can talk. But I'm tellin' ye, I got a fair bit o' pent-up frustration ta deal with right now on account o' a certain slippery gnoll vampire. And I'm gonna be more than happy ta take it out on ye.
Yilsebek:	Prattle on all you like, dwarf. We will not be thwarted by the likes of you!
Calliope:	Look around, Yilsebek, and you'll see that your 'we' is getting dangerously close to an 'I.' You're down to the last of your compatriots. The rest have fallen or fled.
Yilsebek:	One of me will be more than enough to deal with rabble like you. Face me, outlanders! Face your doom!
30	Defeat the Drow Mage		This drow mage won't listen to reason! Time to end this fight!
Vellynne:	Did anyone see which way Yilsebek went? I lost track of him as the other drow broke and ran.
Calliope:	Pretty sure he scarpered out through that hole in the wall.
Bruenor:	Feh. Let him run, and hopefully all tha way back down and home. But even with no drow ta worry about no more, this fight cost us time. We gotta move.
31	Defeat 25 Monsters		A maze of ice tunnels extends beyond the outpost -- and a pack of piercers has the area locked down!
32	Defeat 25 Monsters		Shadows spawned by the dead of Ythryn are everywhere. Get past them!
Jarlaxle:	There are piercers every which way we step through here. We might as well just be shooting ourselves as we run.
Calliope:	Pretty sure most of us hit a lot harder than any of them do. Just keep stepping lively and don't slow down for anything.
Celeste:	Look! Spell scrolls left behind by the survivors of the enclave. Everyone, help me gather them.
Jarlaxle:	You were saying?
33	Collect 25 Spell Scrolls		If you can navigate your way through the piercers, these abandoned Netherese spell scrolls might be of use. Grab them up!
34	Defeat 25 Monsters		As you push ahead, another pack of shadows rises from the icy gloom to meet you!
Catti-brie:	One patch o' piercers left to push through. We get past them, and it should be all... clear... ? What in the name o' fate and faith is that?!
Vellynne:	Mindwitness! Beholderspawn created by mind flayers!
Bruenor:	Like either one or tha other o' beholders or mind flayers wasn't ugly 'nuff ta begin with. Everybody come on! And hit this monstrosity hard!
35	Defeat the Mindwitness		A dread mindwitness wanders these frozen tunnels! Take this illithid beholder down, and quickly!
Nayeli:	Everyone keep moving! These piercers must thin out... eventually...? What in Tyr's name?
Bruenor:	'Tis a bleedin' forest grove -- buried under umpteen hunnerd feet o' ice. And growin' with leaves and fruit and all!
Tyril:	It's wondrous... powerful magic infuses this place!
Celeste:	Netherese magic, to be specific. Some manner of wards to protect against cold and harsh weather when Ythryn was airborne. And most effective against the cold of the glacier. How marvelous.
Tyril:	How idyllic. How peaceful.
Catti-brie:	Watch out! There's a pack o' gnoll vampires incoming -- and they look like they're meaning to change that!
36	Defeat 25 Monsters		This otherworldly grove is filled with life -- and threatened by monstrosities and undead!
37	Defeat 25 Monsters		The piercers have finally had enough. But these gnoll vampires only intensify their assault!
38	Collect 25 Purple Pears		As a squad of flameskulls joins the fray, the vampires' attacks are dislodging mystical purple pears from the trees. Grab them quickly!
Hathowyn:	Thanks to you, friends of nature. Friends of Hathowyn.
Bruenor:	What tha...? Who's that!? Show yerself!
Tyril:	It's all right, Bruenor. It's a spirit of this place. A dryad, by my guess. Most likely hidden within the trees.
Bruenor:	Ah. Well, sorry there, spirit. Just been havin' a bit o' a problem with disembodied voices since we came down here.
Hathowyn:	I understand, friend. I am Hathowyn. And I guess that you speak of Tekeli-li of the cold laughter. The vampire is no friend to the grove, nor are his servants.
Tyril:	I pledge to you, spirit, that the Champions will take great pleasure in dealing with those servants' threats.
39	Defeat 25 Monsters		The flameskulls have fled, but the vampires are unflagging in their assault!
Nayeli:	One more push against these vampires should finish them. Everyone with me!
Hathowyn:	No! Wait! The evil one comes, his presence masked beneath the grove's magic. He draws you into a trap! Hold where you are! Hold!
Tekeli-li:	Ha! No fair, no fair. The tricky dryad breaks my surprise -- and she and her precious trees will pay, will pay! Ha haaaa!
40	Defeat the Tekeli-li		The vampire Tekeli-li appears at last in gnoll form -- and is even more dedicated to your destruction!
Bruenor:	Feh. That vampire ain't no tougher in full form than as that blasted hyena. Run again, ye piece o' foulness! When ye're ready fer a real fight, ye'll know where ta find us.
Calliope:	So freaking unnerving how the vampire just mists away, but that laugh keeps hanging in the air.
Tyril:	It's more than unnerving. It's drawing additional monsters down upon the grove! Tekeli-li means to destroy this place to spite us!
Bruenor:	Then let's be spitin' that undead straight back. Come on!
41	Defeat 25 Monsters		With the vampires fallen, a force of kobold vampire spawn and frozen twig blights press you! Stand fast!
42	Defeat 25 Monsters		As fast as you knock them back, still more of these undersized threats push into the fray!
43	Collect 25 Purple Pears		The blights regroup to let the vampire spawn unleash a relentless assault that threatens the grove's trees once more! Grab up these pears to protect them!
Catti-brie:	We've almost got these vampire spawn on the run. If those blasted blights just stay away a little longer, we'll have them!
Tyril:	Too late! Watch out!
44	Defeat 25 Monsters		The blights are running amok again -- and preventing you from making any headway against the undead kobold assault!
Nayeli:	Watch yourselves! There's a pulse of planar magic descending on the grove!
Hathowyn:	Ah, no! The magic of this place, it responds to the plight of the trees. It summons a champion!
Bruenor:	That don't sound like such a bad thing ta me. With a little bit o' extra help, we can end this fight right quick.
Hathowyn:	You don't understand. I cannot control her! The champion will assess the fight as she sees it!
Bruenor:	Still ain't sure why that's a problem, though...
Winter Eladrin:	I am summoned to the frozen grove. What calls me forth... treachery! You dare come to this place with axe and blade, ready to fell these sacred trees!
Bruenor:	Ah, right. Gettin' it now. Look, friend, I can promise ye, this here axe has never touched bark nor wood. Well, maybe a door once in a while. But just let us explain...
Catti-brie:	No time for explanations! Here she comes!
45	Defeat the Winter Eladrin		A winter eladrin bound to the frozen grove steps in to end this fight -- by taking arms against you!
Nayeli:	All right, that's sent the eladrin back to the Feywild, just a little worse for wear. And with the last of the blights and the vampire spawn fallen, we should be on our way before they're drawn to our presence again. The grove should be safe once we're gone.
Hathowyn:	My friends, I thank you. It has been so long since any except the undead have passed this way. Please, take the pears you have preserved, with my blessing.
Celeste:	Your blessing means much, Hathowyn. But we would be even more grateful for information. We seek to reach the heart of the fallen enclave. Have you seen it? Do you know what we'll find there?
Hathowyn:	I have not, alas. But in the days of old, before the last survivors of Ythryn fell, they would pass this way with stories most dire. You will find the enclave beyond the grove. But there is only death there now.
Calliope:	Well, that seems in keeping with most of this group's missions. Come on, everyone. No one likes to keep death waiting.
Calliope:	Ah, lovely. Another long walk with the dead.
Catti-brie:	They're not moving, thankfully. That's a bit o' respite at least.
Calliope:	They might not be moving, but something is. Everybody on the alert for giant eyes staring out of the shadows!
Jarlaxle:	The eyes are giant, but the creatures they're attached to are more manageable. We're surrounded by nothics. And they're coming in fast!
46	Defeat 25 Monsters		The dead of Ythryn are thick in the ice along the last leg of the journey. But undead aren't the threat you need to worry about here!
47	Defeat 25 Monsters		These nothics are relentless in their assault! Push them hard!
Aspix:	Ow! Strangers are violent! This is no good.
Bruenor:	Violent? Ye attacked us first. What'd ye expect, ye great starin' creeper?
Celeste:	Easy, Bruenor. Nothics are transformed from powerful spellcasters. These were once great wizards of Netheril, I'm guessing, now doomed to a terrible life.
Aspix:	Aspix is sorry. Aspix tries to lead the others, but they have wild ways that hunger makes far worse. We range from Ythryn for food, but there is no food. So hungry.
Celeste:	You range from... Aspix, are you saying we're close to Ythryn?
Aspix:	Yes, yes! Straight along tunnels. But there's no food there. No food.
Celeste:	My friends, we need to end this fight -- and to try to earn the nothics' trust. I have an idea!
48	Collect 25 Empty Ration Containers		If the nothics are attacking mostly from hunger, filling up their ration tins might help end this fight. But the sudden appearance of gnoll vampires won't make it easy!
Bruenor:	Well, so much fer dealin' with them nothics in exchange fer food. They've all scarpered!
Celeste:	They won't go far, I don't think. They just wanted to get away from these vampires while they had the chance.
Calliope:	Too bad we weren't thinking the same. Here they come again!
49	Defeat 25 Monsters		The nothics have scattered with their food -- leaving the gnoll vampires set up for a final assault!
Minsc:	Look there! Beyond ice and cavern's edge. A sight most wondrous.
Vellynne:	The once-great enclave. A floating city! But little more than a necropolis now.
Tekeli-li:	You don't know the half of it, Champions. Ha! The dead await you in the old, old city. And wouldn't it be fitting to be dead yourselves when you meet them?!?
50	Defeat the Tekeli-li		Tekeli-li brings the fight to you once more! Take all these vampires down!
Celeste:	Aspix! It's all right, you can come out now. I saw you following us. Please, can you tell us what you know of Ythryn? More rations are yours if you want them. Now can you help us?.
Aspix:	Ah, food! Ah, yes. The secrets of Ythryn! Listen close, listen close. A place of shadow and evil. The wizard rules there! Iriolarthas. Or what remains of him. He should have quit while he was ahead! Do you get it? A head?!
Calliope:	Nothing like an aberration with a sense of humor. What else?
Aspix:	You'll walk the streets, you'll speak to the hands! And hope they don't talk back. Some spells are worth living for, yes?
Celeste:	The mythallar, Aspix. Does any part of it still function? Even a fragment of that ancient power might give us access to magic that could help restore Icewind Dale.
Aspix:	Any parts? No. No parts. Because the mythallar is whole...
Vellynne:	What... this is miraculous. A functioning Mythallar will serve all Icewind Dale's needs... and help the Arcane Brotherhood unlock the secrets of Netheril for all time!
Celeste:	There must be more to it, though. If the Mythallar was functioning, Ythryn would never have fallen. Even after locating it, we'll have to determine what's corrupted its power -- and hope that we can undo that corruption in the end.
