The Arena of Blood
Travel to the Arena of Blood in an attempt to secure a fleet!
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Farideh:	So let me make sure I understand all of this. You only have five ships, which isn't enough to transport all of your people -- even with the ships we've gathered -- to Xaryxispace. The only person in the system that DOES have enough ships runs a station called the 'Arena of Blood', and you all want us to go convince him to lend us his ships?
Elaina:	Yes, that's our situation exactly.
Farideh:	I just want to go on record saying I think this is a bad idea.
Havilar:	It's going to be fine! So tell me more about this Arena of Blood -- is it like gladiatorial combat?
Flapjack:	Something like that.
Havilar:	Yes! I'm in -- when do we leave?
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		Bet you're missing those stowaways now! Defeat the autognomes!
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		One day there will be no dangers on the Second Wind -- but that's not today! Fight!
Celeste:	Who all is going with us to the Arena of Blood? Trust me, I don't blame anyone for not wanting to go to a place with that name...
Commodore Krux:	Warwyck and I will be staying here. We still have some talking to do.
Celeste:	That sounds nice. Anyone else staying?
Topolah:	Staying where?
Celeste:	I think that answers my question there. Gargenhale, how about you?
Gargenhale:	My crews are still weary of this coalition. I think it's a good idea for me to stay here and put them at ease.
3	Collect 25 Space Eel Fillets		Space eels! Time to stock up for the kindori -- collect as many fillets as you can!
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		Small eye mongers are attacking! Defeat them before a bigger one shows up!
Xedalli:	Celeste, can I speak with you for a moment?
Celeste:	Absolutely -- is everything all right?
Xedalli:	Have you told the coalition about me yet?
Celeste:	[Sighs] Not yet. To be completely honest, we aren't sure how to go about it.
Xedalli:	That's what I thought. Which is why I want to go with you all to the Arena of Blood. I may be able to help negotiate with this Vocath person. Negotiations were a special study of mine. Perhaps this will make breaking the news a bit easier.
Celeste:	That sounds like a brilliant idea. We'd be happy to have you with us, Xedalli.
5	Defeat the Eye Monger		The big eye monger is here! Defeat it before it can cause any damage!
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		Those clouds look poisonous, but the space guppies don't seem to mind! Don't let them overrun the jolly!
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		The guppies and swine are working together! Stand your ground!
8	Collect 25 Space Swine Armor		That space swine armor is worth quite a bit! Collect as much of it as you can!
Jarlaxle:	I'm going to be honest -- this isn't quite what I was expecting when I heard 'Arena of Blood'. I guess I was expecting... more blood?
Celeste:	You all right, Xedalli? You've been staring off at the Arena for a bit now.
Xedalli:	Yes. Yes, I am fine. I don't know why, but it all just feels more real right now. That we're really going to take on the Xaryxian Empire.
Jarlaxle:	No second thoughts, right?
Xedalli:	Absolutely not. I'm here one hundred percent on your side. Now let's go get some ships.
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		So that's the Arena of Blood? Don't let it distract you from the fight!
10	Defeat the Night Scavver		A night scavver was hiding in the clouds! Defeat it!
Jarlaxle:	Uuuuuuuuh, does it look like everyone is fighting each other, or is that just me?
Havilar:	No, I'm seeing that too. And I am SO happy I came along on this one!
Vocath Guard:	Greetings, and welcome to the Arena of Blood. You have picked a special day to join us today as Lord Vocath has declared the entire station a battle royale!
Celeste:	A what?
Havilar:	It's awesome! Essentially everyone fights everyone until only one team is left!
Jarlaxle:	[Shrug] We were bound to do a battle royale eventually.
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		Well, everyone is looking for a fight -- so let's fight? Stand your ground!
Celeste:	Excuse me, saer. We were hoping to speak with Vocath. Would you be able to help us with that?
Vocath Guard:	...I suppose. One moment, please.
Jarlaxle:	Is he going to do something, or just stand there?
Vocath Guard:	I can still hear you -- and I'm speaking with him telepathically.
Celeste:	Oh, so sorry -- don't mind him. We'll just be over here fighting random people.
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		No time to wait around -- there's fighting everwhere! Don't let up!
13	Collect 25 Coin Purses		Hey now! They're not just fighting! They're thieving! Get those coin purses back!
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		Is there even a prize for winning this battle royale? Did anyone even ask? Oh well, keep fighting!
15	Defeat the Necromancer		That necromancer looks like he means business! Defeat him!
Vocath Guard:	Lord Vocath will see you now. Please follow me.
Jarlaxle:	Can I ask what the hold-up was?
Vocath Guard:	Lord Vocath wanted to make sure you were worthy of an audience. Your battles here on the dock were enough.
Havilar:	Aw, we were being watched? I would have put more flare into it if I'd known that. Can we get a redo?
Celeste:	No, no, no -- we don't need a redo. Please take us to Vocath.
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		So this is the inside of the Arena of Blood. Yep, everyone's still fighting! Get to it!
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		Some drunks have joined the fight! Defeat them!
Farideh:	So Vocath just announced a battle royale and everyone started fighting? That's all it took?
Vocath Guard:	This may be hard to believe, but folks that frequent a place called the Arena of Blood aren't nice people. Honestly, they were just itching for some fighting. And it entertains Lord Vocath.
Farideh:	He finds this entertaining?
Vocath Guard:	Lord Vocath finds anything with fighting and blood entertaining.
18	Collect 25 Githyanki Bows		The guard gives up a few things about Vocath -- like that he loves fighting and blood. Who knew?
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		Is this the most violent tour the Champions have been on? Regardless -- fight your way through!
20	Defeat the Giff Warlord		Good thing Krux isn't here -- he might owe this warlord money! Defeat the giff warlord!
Vocath Guard:	We're about to enter the audience chamber.
Celeste:	Any advice before we go in?
Vocath Guard:	Don't upset him and don't give him a reason to throw you in the arena.
Havilar:	What if we want --
Farideh:	No, Havi.
Vocath:	Greetings, Champions. Welcome to my Arena of Blood.
Xedalli:	Thank you for agreeing to meet with us, Lord Vocath.
Vocath:	[Scoff] There's no need for such titles. Call me Vocath. If my eyes don't deceive me, you look to be an astral elf noble of some kind.
Xedalli:	I come from a small collection of astral elves far across wildspace. My planet, like the one my fellow Champions are from, is under attack by the evil Xaryxian Empire.
Minsc:	What? I thought --
Jarlaxle:	[Whispers] It's called deception, big guy. Let her talk.
Xedalli:	We've come all this way to Doomspace to speak with you about lending us some of your many spelljamming vessels.
Vocath:	Hmmm. I see...
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		Well, this seems to be off to a rough start -- fight these patrons while they sort this out!
Vocath:	You know, you bare a striking resemblance to the princess of the Xaryxian Empire.
Xedalli:	...and what if I were? Why would I come here asking for your help to attack my own empire?
Vocath:	Ha! I won't pretend to know the dealings of the astral elves. But, I do find it quite suspicious.
Xedalli:	You will just have to take my word for it, then.
Vocath:	Or... I could check with the Xaryxian Empire and see if they're missing a princess?
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		The guards refuse to close the doors! Keep fighting!
Xedalli:	I wouldn't recommend that, Vocath. The Xaryxian Empire is just as likely to toss you off this station and take it for themselves. What we're trying to do isn't just save our worlds, we're trying to save everyone in Wildspace. If the Xaryxians aren't stopped now, they'll take everything in Wildspace for their own.
Vocath:	And what makes you think I wouldn't just make a deal with them? You greatly underestimate my skill of negotiation.
Xedalli:	And you greatly underestimate the Xaryxian Empire. With an attitude like that -- you'll one day find them at your doorstep, unable to do anything to protect yourself.
23	Collect 25 Vocath Coins		The guards are now trying to stop people from stealing all of these Vocath coins. May as well help them! Collect the coins!
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		Oh, come on! The guards are joining the fight now! Deal with them!
Xedalli:	If you won't listen to reason, let us prove ourselves to you then. Send us into the Arena. Let us show you that we are capable of fighting and that we are worthy of your ships.
Vocath:	Hmmm. Now that's the first interesting thing you've said. First, I need to know you're worth such a challenge. Defeat my guards here, and I'll consider it.
Havilar:	DEAL!
25	Defeat the Githyanki Gish		Maybe if you show off your combat skills, Vocath will be more agreeable? May as well find out! Defeat the githyanki!
Vocath:	That was fairly entertaining. Enough so that I'll give you a test to enter the Arena.
Jarlaxle:	That fight wasn't the test?!
Vocath:	That was just for me to consider it. The Blood Pit Tavern is located on the opposite side of the station. There you'll find a bounty hunter named Vin Ursa. Best her in combat, and I will allow you to enter the Arena.
Xedalli:	And if we win in the Arena, you'll agree to lend us the ships.
Vocath:	...If you win, and I'm entertained, I'll consider lending you the ships.
Jarlaxle:	You all may find this hard to believe, but I don't think Vocath's a very trustworthy person.
Minsc:	That is for sure. Do we really believe he's going to lend us these ships even if we win in the Arena?
Xedalli:	It's the best option I could think of in the moment and our only real option now.
Celeste:	You did great, Xedalli. Now let's spread out and find this bounty hunter.
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		It's not often that there's already fighting in a tavern when the Champions arrive -- join the fight!
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		Where is Vin Ursa? They have to be somewhere in this brawl! Keep fighting until you find them!
28	Collect 25 Mugs		The drunks are using the mugs for weapons! Disarm them and return the mugs!
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		Is that Vin over there? No. What about there? No. Oh! That might be them over there! Fight your way to them!
Vin Ursa:	So I hear you're looking for me. The question is why... Are you here to hire me, beg me for assistance, or fight?
Havilar:	The last one, actually!
Vin Ursa:	Well now, I can't say I've seen someone so eager to lose a fight, but I'm free right now.
Celeste:	We're trying to enter the Arena of Blood, but Vocath said we had to best you in combat before he would allow us in.
Vin Ursa:	Ha! Of course he did. All right, I accept.
Vin Ursa:	I'm ready -- let's do this.
Celeste:	Just right here in the tavern?
Vin Ursa:	Everyone else is fighting, may as well.
30	Defeat the Vin Ursa		It's time to best Vin Ursa in combat! Defeat her!
Vin Ursa:	I yield! WOW! You all are awesome, you know that?
Jarlaxle:	Thank you? I can't say we've gotten that reaction from winning a fight before. At least not from the people we're fighting.
Vin Ursa:	I can tell when folks are good at what they do -- and you all are great at this adventuring thing. I'm actually between contracts right now. Would you mind if I tagged along with you? Plus, Vocath will probably be annoyed that I joined you, which makes it even better.
Celeste:	We'd be happy to have you, Vin. Hope you're ready for the Arena of Blood.
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		Did Vocath say when this battle royale was going to end? Oh well, better keep fighting!
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		This is good prep for the arena, I guess? Wait, what is in the arena...? No time to think -- get back to fighting!
33	Collect 25 Lolipops		Whoa! These fighters are stealing candy from the audience! Get that candy back!
Celeste:	Vocath, we were victorious and bested Vin Ursa in combat.
Vin Ursa:	They did! And they looked really cool while doing it!
Vocath:	[Sigh] I guess I should have been more clear with my words. I was hoping Vin wouldn't walk away from the fight.
Vin Ursa:	[Shrug] OH WELL!
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		Vocath's guards aren't done with you yet! Show them their mistake!
Xedalli:	We have done as you asked, Vocath. Let us fight in the Arena now and earn those ships.
Vocath:	I will make the arrangements. In the meantime, clear out these drunks. After that make your way to the Arena.
35	Defeat the Drunken Fool		You've been followed from the tavern! Defeat the drunks!
Vocath:	Welcome! One and all! To the Arena of Blood! We are taking a momentary pause in our battle royale for our main event! Can these so-called 'Champions' last three rounds? Let's find out! Release the first wave!
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		Get your head in the fight! The first round of the Arena of Blood starts now! FIGHT!
Vocath:	As expected, the first wave was easy work for these 'Champions'. On to wave two!
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		All right, this isn't so bad so far! But this is JUST the second wave! Don't relax just yet!
Vocath:	OH NO -- a magic field? How could that have happened? Oh well! Guess they'll have to deal with it and the creatures!
38	Defeat 1 Magic Field		That magic field is going to be a problem -- destroy it!
Vocath:	They did it! ...A little anti-climatic if I'm being honest, but still good I guess. On to the next wave!
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		Things are heating up! Don't back down!
Vocath:	Here we are! The first of our three main events. They'll bash you, they'll mash you, they'll turn you into paste! Get ready for Thrasher and Gnasher!
40	Defeat the Thrasher and Gnasher		Those are some BIG creatures! Defeat Thrasher and Gnasher!
Vocath:	They have prolonged their demise a little longer, folks! Let's hear some cheers for prolonged demise!
Vin Ursa:	You know, you're really bad at this announcer thing!
Vocath:	Someone dispel that thaumaturgy -- only I get to speak here!
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		Vocath thinks this is HIS show -- show him who the real stars are!
Vocath:	Can we get some deadlier creatures in there? Chokers? Yeah, that will work!
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		Couatls and chokers are up next -- don't get caught off guard!
Vocath:	All right, we get it, you all can fight -- big whoop. But can you collect the feathers of your enemies?! Ha ha! Collect twenty-five feathers, or this will never end!
43	Collect 25 Feathers		Vocath has apparently lost his bloodlust for a moment. Get those feathers!
Vocath:	Will one of you at least lose a limb? You're making this look too easy and it's annoying. Get those chokers back on the field!
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		Scavvers and chokers -- that's not so bad, right? You've got this!
Vocath:	It's big, it's strong, it can swallow a creature whole! It's the terrifying, the powerful -- Brutus the Braxat!
45	Defeat the Brutus the Braxat		Brutus the Braxat? What's a Braxat? OH! THAT'S A BRAXAT! Defeat it!
Vocath:	UGH! Well, that's another round down, I guess. Next up for the first wave of round three we have... SPACE GUPPIES?! Oh come on!
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		Here we go -- the first wave of round three! Finish this fight!
Vocath:	What do we have next? Hugs and rainbows? ...solar dragon wyrmlings? And darkmantles? All right, that's better. Let the death -- I mean entertainment begin!
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		Solar dragon wyrmlings aren't so bad anymore! You can win this easily!
Vocath:	You all are really starting to annoy me. So you know what, collect solar dragon scales. Yep, just keep collecting them or we'll fill up this whole arena with wyrmlings!
48	Collect 25 Solar Dragon Scales		Do we at least get to keep the scales? That's a question for later -- get those scales!
Vocath:	Seriously, you game masters are terrible at this. Throw some young remorhazes in there -- they usually tear things up pretty well!
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		This is it! The penultimate wave! Pace yourself, you've got this!
Vocath:	All right, THIS IS IT! The last wave of round three, and we've saved the best for last! Get ready to face your demise as you're slowly digested for a hundred years! All bow before her royal highness -- the deadly, the terrifying, Queen Gorma!
50	Defeat the Queen Gorma		Here she is! Queen Gorma! Don't lose hope -- defeat her!
Vocath:	NO! How could you all possibly... UGH! Fine. Meet me in my audience chamber and -- What's happening? What's that sound?
Celeste:	The ceiling! Something's breaking through it! Is that... a solar dragon?!
Xeleth:	This station is now under the control of the Xaryxian Empire by high decree of myself, soon-to-be emperor! Hand over my sister, Xedalli, now, or my surrounding ships will open fire!
