Icon The Bitter End The Bitter End
Race through Motherhorn to rescue Gleam's sister before Endelyn figures out who you are!
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Witchlight Portrait EndelynMoongrave
Endelyn:
Well that performance was certainly something else. I enjoyed the part where it turned out the maiden was cursed in every possible way. I like when the tragedy is inescapable. Just like real life.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I couldn't have said it better myself. We look forward to performing many more terrible plays for you. I mean, tragic plays.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Perhaps we could explore the fortress more. Look for ideas for our next play. It's an impressive and foreboding place.
Witchlight Portrait EndelynMoongrave
Endelyn:
That it is. Good for keeping the minions in line and maintaining the tone of future works. I like considering the future. You'd do well to do the same. In fact: consider tonight. I'll have guests this evening, and I'd love to give them another show. Get another play together and I'll be very pleased.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Of course, of course. We'll just absorb the ambience--
Witchlight Portrait EndelynMoongrave
Endelyn:
I will look into my Orrery of Tragedies and divine your future. I'm sure there's something very interesting there. Assuming you survive my shadows of course. Once again, delightful play. Look forward to the next one. More inevitable deaths next time. Ta-ta!
1 Defeat 25 Enemies Endelyn's charmed by your performance, but Motherhorn teems with enemies still. Fight those shadows and darklings!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
If she's going to try and divine our futures, we'll need to hurry. It won't take long before she realizes something's up.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Well, when she realizes we are heroes, we can pivot to smashing evil, which is much better than being in a play.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] We have to save Gleam's sister first.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Right. Let's get Gleam and go find Glister.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Do you think the hag can really tell the future?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Divination is a complex magic. Not all things are set. Not all futures can be avoided.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Do you think she could tell us where Jenks and Squiddly are?
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I suspect she could do that without being able to see the future.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I don't need a divination to know we'll save Jenks and Squiddly. Prismeer's magic has kept them from harm, so it's only a matter of figuring out where it sent them. If that takes restoring Zybilna, then we'll do that. And no army of darklings and shadows will change that!
2 Defeat 25 Enemies What future lies ahead for you? Probably more shadows and darklings from the looks of it!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Celeste, you shouldn't tell the kid everything's going to work out.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
She's very worried! I'm just trying to reassure her. And it's true -- we're going to do everything we can to save them.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Which is different from saying you know we'll save them. We don't understand everything in this plane. Bad things happen.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I don't like this defeatist attitude.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
And I don't like thinking about Nat feeling like we failed her. Just keep it tempered.
Witchlight Portrait Gleam
Gleam:
Champions! How did the play go?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Well, I was amazing.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Murder-Bunny saved our skin and Endelyn bought the ruse. We've got free rein of Motherhorn. Let's go find Glister.
Witchlight Portrait Dottie
Dottie:
We've been working out the layout of Motherhorn. Break-a-Leg says the prison is this way.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We're likely to encounter more guards. We might need to subdue them. Let's collect these curtain ropes in case we need to tie people up.
3 Collect 25 Curtain Ropes Sometimes the best answer is tying up your foes. Grab those curtain ropes and be prepared!
4 Defeat 25 Enemies More shadows creep out of the darkness to attack! Be ready!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Once we get Glister free, we're gonna need a way out o' here fer ye three at least.
Witchlight Portrait Dottie
Dottie:
Right now, that's the secret tunnel. We didn't find out another way free of here!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We can light tha beacons and open tha portal again -- though it ain't gonna be easy if tha hag catches on!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Let's worry about Glister first. We have a lot of shadows to get through before we can free Glister.
5 Defeat the Goblin Shadow Boss This goblin shadow boss doesn't like the trouble you're causing! Fight past him to get to Glister!
Witchlight Portrait Gleam
Gleam:
This way! Through the workshop.
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
...What do you mean 'she loved it'?
Witchlight Portrait Darkling
Darkling:
What I said! Endelyn loved 'Love Unsoiled.' She wants another play from them! Tonight!
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
But, but, but...there's a line!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Hey, Mentor! Sounds like you heard the good news.
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
Good news? You think you can just waltz in here, some froggy little ingenue, and become Motherhorn's next star?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Well, I mean it does turn out I'm good at acting AND fighting things. Where are all these shadows coming from anyway?
6 Defeat 25 Enemies The creatures of the workshop don't care about your success! They want to bring you down!
7 Defeat 25 Enemies More shadows come after you -- Endelyn might not know your intentions, but Motherhorn is on the alert!
Witchlight Portrait Trinket
Trinket:
Anybody see a shadow come through here?
Witchlight Portrait Bauble
Bauble:
Might be carrying a magic spool of thread?
Witchlight Portrait Trinket
Trinket:
Oh! You people -- how'd you get to Yon so quickly?
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
You know these...interlopers?
Witchlight Portrait Bauble
Bauble:
Not your business, thespian.
Witchlight Portrait Trinket
Trinket:
Yeah, we need thread and shadows, not dumb questions!
8 Collect 25 Spools of Thread One of these spools of thread is the magical one the darklings stole from Bavlorna! Track it down!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Are any of these the one you're missing?
Witchlight Portrait Bauble
Bauble:
No. Thanks for trying. Hey no hard feelings about attacking you back in Hither.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I mean some hard feelings.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Do ye know an easy way ta get out o' Yon? We're gonna need a speedy exit.
Witchlight Portrait Trinket
Trinket:
I mean...yes? But it will cost you.
Witchlight Portrait Trinket
Trinket:
Look, our sister Charm's shadow is running loose. It's got to come back and get reattached to Charm, and we need the thread it's carrying for Endelyn. Help us catch the shadow and we'll owe you a lift out of Yon.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
That is the simplest of tasks! We were already going to fight all of the shadows!
9 Defeat 25 Enemies Shadows and darklings fill the workshop, but one of them is the detached shadow of Charm! Find the right one!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
How are we supposed to know which of these is your sister's shadow? There's dozens of them!
Witchlight Portrait Bauble
Bauble:
Um, it's the one that looks exactly like her? How is this not obvious?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
That one! It's got a spool of thread.
Witchlight Portrait Bauble
Bauble:
I'll grab the thread, you all do what you're good at and fight the shadow.
10 Defeat the Charm's Detached Shadow Charm's detached shadow doesn't want to go with the darklings yet -- it would rather fight you!
Witchlight Portrait Trinket
Trinket:
Got her! Stop! Fighting! You stupid shadow!
Witchlight Portrait Bauble
Bauble:
You act like you're never going to get to run free again. Wait for the next job.
Witchlight Portrait Trinket
Trinket:
Thanks for your help, Champions. When you're ready to get out of here, head to the roof. Our stormcloud balloon will be waiting.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
I'm just saying, if we get another play together, this could be like our THING! We could trick villains by doing amazing plays! And Yorven, I won't second-guess you again. You may not be as tall as Avren, but you definitely have the ability to match me in DRAMA.
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
I don't know that the opportunity will come up often. How often do you encounter villains who can be distracted by some drama?
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
More often than you'd think.
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
I am perfectly focused -- Oh! We're in the prison! Which of these cells has your sister Gleam? Is it this one? No! That's all rats and darklings!
11 Defeat 25 Enemies The prison of Motherhorn is no place to sit still! Fight those darklings and giant rats!
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
Who are you? What are you doing here? Get out! No actors allowed. Just us bad-tempered, washed-up guards.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Burly? Is that ye? Where's yer shadow?
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
Huh? Oh...You've been to the Witchlight Carnival. I'm Hurly. Burly is my brother. My handsome, successful, happy brother.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Burly? The bugbear? The one that wears a pumpkin on his head?
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
He's got a pumpkin now? Well, la-di-da! Everything's coming up Burly, as usual.
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
Gleam? Is that you?
Witchlight Portrait Gleam
Gleam:
Glister! We're here to rescue you!
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
Like that's going to do you any good. You'll never get out of here. It's impossible. You'll just get caught again.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
We've done far more difficult things than this!
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
And this is where you ended up? I hate to see what's next.
12 Defeat 25 Enemies Deep beneath Endelyn's fortress, her prison teems with enemies! Battle them back!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We've arranged for a ride out of Motherhorn. We just have to get you out of here and up to the roof.
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
Oh are we taking the giant cranes?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Tha what?
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
The giant cranes that fly between here and the Palace of Heart's Desire where Zybilna used to rule from? I heard you ring a silver bell on the roof and they still come.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
That is...good to know. We've got a balloon. Here, let's find the key to your cell and get you out of here.
13 Collect 25 Keys One of these keys will unlock Glister's cell! Gather them up!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Found it!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Thank you, Nat! Glister let's get you free and get out of here.
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
Thank you! Thank you! I'm so happy to see you, Gleam!
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
Ugh, spare me your performative sibling relationship!
Witchlight Portrait HurleysDetachedShadow
Hurly's Detached Shadow:
No, no, keep making him frustrated. It's hilarious!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Yer shadow's been stolen too.
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
[sigh] No. I snipped it off with Endelyn's enchanted scissors. Everyone says I'm too angry and grim to be a great actor. I thought maybe it would lighten me up. But instead --
Witchlight Portrait HurleysDetachedShadow
Hurly's Detached Shadow:
He's my straight man! I set 'em up, he takes the fall!
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
He means he insults me and I get mad.
Witchlight Portrait HurleysDetachedShadow
Hurly's Detached Shadow:
It's a better act than anything you've ever done!
14 Defeat 25 Enemies Goblins swarm the prison trying to stop your rescue! Defeat them!
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
I regret ever cutting you free!
Witchlight Portrait HurleysDetachedShadow
Hurly's Detached Shadow:
If that's all you regret, then you're not paying enough attention!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
All right, well you two have fun with your terrible act, we have a balloon to meet.
Witchlight Portrait HurleysDetachedShadow
Hurly's Detached Shadow:
Not so fast! Endelyn will give us top billing if I turn you in -- and we're not getting that with this mopefest alone. Get into those cells or I'll show you how dangerous a shadow can be!
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
Ugh! Just smash him and be done with it. I can't believe I ever thought you were a good idea.
15 Defeat the Hurly's Detached Shadow Oh no! Hurly's detached shadow is even more unpleasant than its owner! Stand your ground!
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
Well NOW what am I supposed to do?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Do you want to go home to the Witchlight Carnival?
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
And listen to them go 'I told you so!' No thanks!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Maybe you just need to think about what your strengths and weaknesses are. What you like doing.
Witchlight Portrait Hurly
Hurly:
Ugh! You sound like Mr. Witch and Mr. Light.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
All right, well, we'll leave you to your griping. Take care or....don't. Whatever.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
There's the stormcloud balloon!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] What is that thing? That mechanical bird thing?
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
That's Endelyn's ornithopter! It's what she flies on when she leaves Motherhorn!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
And look what's next to it.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] That's Bavlorna's lilypad! And Skabatha's rocking horse! Are all the hags here?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Not only that, but there's a whole lot o' goblins and ravens between us and tha balloon! Look alive!
16 Defeat 25 Enemies You're outside at last but so are the goblins and ravens! Weapons up!
17 Defeat 25 Enemies The scavengers are coming for their due! Fight the goblins and vultures!
Witchlight Portrait Charm
Charm:
Well, well, well -- look who made it. We were just about to take off.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
How long have those other vehicles been here?
Witchlight Portrait Charm
Charm:
Bavlorna and Skabatha's rides? Maybe an hour. When the last play finished.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
They're all still here. We could defeat the whole coven now!
Witchlight Portrait Charm
Charm:
Not before we launch. We're not waiting around for whatever those three are cooking up. It's time to set up shop somewhere else. Speaking of, could you gather those ornithopter gears? They don't look nailed down, and there's quite a market in Loomlurch for spare gears.
18 Collect 25 Ornithopter Gears The darkling merchants want those gears to sell! The vultures and ravens want them because they're shiny!
19 Defeat 25 Enemies Uh-oh, the coven's all here! What are you going to do? Well right now, you're going to fight!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
If all three hags are here...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I'm pretty sure at this point our ruse is up. Bavlorna and Skabatha have almost certainly told their sister about the band of adventurers who made a mess of their plans.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Perfect! Let's get out of here and make it three for three!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
No! We can't leave evil to grow more powerful! We should strike now while our enemies are clustered.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I think Minsc is right. We can't save Prismeer if we don't defeat the Hourglass Coven.
Witchlight Portrait Dottie
Dottie:
Look out! All your arguing has attracted a roc! You're really between a roc and a hard place now! Heehee!
20 Defeat the Roc A roc swoops down out of the mountain peaks to attack! Fight that giant bird!
Witchlight Portrait Charm
Charm:
Well? What are you waiting for? Climb in!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I don't think our work here is done. All three hags are here. We might not get another chance to take them down. Gleam, Glister, Dottie --
Witchlight Portrait Gleam
Gleam:
We'll stay with you.
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
We want to see Endelyn defeated and Prismeer restored too!
Witchlight Portrait Charm
Charm:
Weird choice, but all right. Try not to die, Champions!
Witchlight Portrait Star
Star:
[indicates] Wow! What is this place?
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
This must be Endelyn's Orrery of Tragedies. This is where she reads the futures of visitors.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Ooh! I want to see my future! Am I a glamorous evil overlord or a popular actress in weirdly compelling tragic plays?
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
...They're ALWAYS bad. It's more likely you're trapped in a demiplane or hunted by a fiend for all eternity.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Oh ew.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Or attacked by goblins? Look out!
21 Defeat 25 Enemies The Orrery of Tragedies turns in its endless cycle, while goblins and ravens seek to bring tragedy to you!
Witchlight Portrait GoblinButcher
Goblin Butcher:
You! What are you doing up here?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Excuse me? We're Endelyn's favorite acting troupe and we're doing research --
Witchlight Portrait GoblinButcher
Goblin Butcher:
You're a bunch of adventurers and you're mucking around in the orrery! Get them!
22 Defeat 25 Enemies Darklings and goblin shadows that serve Bitter End surge toward you! Hold your ground!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Minsc, the flashing inside my egg is getting brighter. I hope it doesn't hatch before we can leave Yon!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Well...if it does...I think you need blankets and boiling water. Or maybe salt and pepper and cheese for eggs. I'm not sure.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Do you think it's going to be weird? Blooshi thought it might hatch all weird because of the magic in Hither, Thither, and Yon.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Would you feel different if it were different?
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] No! It's MY crocodile and it's going to be amazing! I just hope I didn't accidentally make it evil taking it through all these realms of hags. Hmm...I wonder if one of these books of predictions can tell me what will happen!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Can't hurt to find out!
23 Collect 25 Prophecies The tragic prophecies of Endelyn Moongrave fill the shelves. See if you can get a glimpse of the future by collecting them up!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
What's this one say? 'The treachery we three have wrought, would Iggwilv forgive us? Ha! I think not.' Who's Iggwilv, and why does her name sound like it's backwards?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
What are you two doing?
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Reading tragic prophecies. This one says 'All I've wrought will be undone, when the moon blots out the sun.' That's strange. They both sound like they're about the person writing. Which would be Endelyn.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
This one's really long: 'Time was our ally, standing beside us. Giving us that which Mummy denied us. But now I feel its hands turn cold, and see its second sight unfold. The hourglass broken, the sisters three, meeting our hellish destiny. Bav and Skab will never know, that Time has always been our foe.'
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Ominous.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
I think it means we have to hit them with a clock!
24 Defeat 25 Enemies The minions of Endelyn Moongrave seek to stop you here and now! Carve a path through them!
Witchlight Portrait GoblinButcher
Goblin Butcher:
You'll go no further, Champions. Your fate ends here!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Better goblins than you have tried!
25 Defeat the Goblin Butcher This goblin butcher means business! Dodge that cleaver!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Come on! These stairs lead down into the theater. We'll be able to ask around and find out where they've gone from there.
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
YOU!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Charmay! Did you see our performance? Wasn't it amazing?
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
Oh drop the act. You're not actors -- you're adventurers! Everyone's talking about it. This was all a ploy to get past Endelyn!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
I mean, I was still pretty good. And Yorven.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
You've caught us. Guess you have to go back to being the superstar around here.
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
Excuse me, are you implying that you somehow deposed me, even temporarily? Thespians! Get them!
26 Defeat 25 Enemies Your goal to defeat the Hourglass Coven might disrupt the theater scene -- but these angry thespians and goblins might disrupt your continued existence! Stand firm!
27 Defeat 25 Enemies These thespians and wigged rats don't want you to succeed against the coven -- who will produce their plays if you do!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Hold on. If this isn't about us being more popular performers than you --
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
You were NEVER more popular than me! Look at all these playbills! Look at them! I'm highly sought after! I'm offer-only!
28 Collect 25 Playbills Is Charmay's career really on the line? Collect those playbills and figure out what she's dealing with.
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
You're here to thwart Endelyn! Admit it!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Fine. She's a villain and she's in our way. We're in the business of thwarting that.
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
Which means you're here to destroy my career! And I'm not going back to Kelek and the League of Malevolence!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
You're from the League of Malevolence? We've met some of your friends!
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
They're not my friends! They're jerks! Who don't appreciate me or my incredible powers OR my dramatic sense of timing and I'm THROUGH traipsing after Kelek looking for stupid unicorn horns! Why does he even HAVE that obsession? It's ludicrous!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Surely there's something you can do that isn't performing for the hag or becoming a villain again? Could you not join a touring troupe? Act in plays that aren't in Prismeer?
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
I WOULDN'T HAVE TO EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU! You've ruined everything!
29 Defeat 25 Enemies The theater is ruthless, but you have villains to stop and fey domains to save!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
You don't have to be an actor OR a villain! Your friend...I mean...'jerk colleague,' Warduke went off with one of Valor's Call! He's going to try being a hero. That...might go well?
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
Warduke left the League of Malevolence? Are you serious?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
He got beaten up by some children and had a crisis of self-confidence.
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
Oh this is hilarious! Kelek let Warduke get away so even if he FINDS the cauldron, he can't destroy it without Warduke's sword! What a bunch of idiots! ...Although if I came back now, they'd HAVE to appreciate me. What with Warduke gone...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
What cauldron? What are they doing?
Witchlight Portrait Charmay
Charmay:
Uh-uh -- I might have new options but helping you still isn't one of them. I'll show you what Kelek let get away!
30 Defeat the Charmay Charmay was once a member of the League of Malevolence, like Warduke and Zarak the assassin from the lake! That means she probably knows how to fight! Watch out!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Should we worry about her fleeing?
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Nah, I'm sure she will come back later and sort things out. Let's find those hags and get to evil smiting!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Look! There they are.
Witchlight Portrait EndelynMoongrave
Endelyn:
They did WHAT to your looms?
Icon NPC Skabatha
Skabatha:
Honey! And mimic glue! And they ran off with all my captured children. Honestly the whole place is a disaster and I won't make quota.
Witchlight Portrait BavlornaBlightstraw
Bavlorna:
Idiot! What quota? You're your own boss and no one wants your toys.
Icon NPC Skabatha
Skabatha:
Well, nobody cares about your bullywug rebellion either! You asked for this when you set up ruling a bunch of squabbling frogs.
Witchlight Portrait EndelynMoongrave
Endelyn:
Sisters, shush! We have a very big problem on our hands and we need to sort it out. Fortunately, I have a plan.
31 Defeat 25 Enemies Oh no! Bavlorna's lornlings and Endelyn's rats have spotted you! Fight them -- but quietly so you can keep eavesdropping!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Everyone stay quiet. We need to hear their plan before we attack.
Icon NPC Skabatha
Skabatha:
Is this about that snotty little warlock and her friends?
Witchlight Portrait EndelynMoongrave
Endelyn:
No, no. Kelek and the League of Malevolence absolutely think they're going to betray us now. Fortunately, they're still trapped in the palace and they have no idea how to use the cauldron. It's right in front of them! And they can't make it work! Delicious!
Witchlight Portrait BavlornaBlightstraw
Bavlorna:
You and your dramatic irony.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Look out! More of Bavlorna's minions!
32 Defeat 25 Enemies Fighting quietly isn't easy -- but you're getting better! Take out these minions of Bavlorna!
Witchlight Portrait EndelynMoongrave
Endelyn:
Shut up you two and listen to me! Those champions have gotten the best of both of you. But they don't know how to get to the Palace of Heart's Desire. And there are no guides left. We head there, we regroup and we come back after and clean up this mess.
Icon NPC Skabatha
Skabatha:
I'm with Lyn. Adventurers always find their limits eventually. Come on, Bav.
Witchlight Portrait BavlornaBlightstraw
Bavlorna:
Fine. But I'm calling dibs on the fountain. My skin's already drying out.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We should follow them.
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
The cranes! If we ring the bell up on the ornithopter pad, the giant cranes can take us to the palace!
Witchlight Portrait Lornling
Lornling:
Hmm, conspiracy! Reporting this!
33 Collect 25 Lornling Notepads Those lornlings have been taking notes about your activities! Don't let them turn you in! Get their notepads!
Witchlight Portrait Lornling
Lornling:
Help! Help! Intruders!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Quick! Shut them up before the hags come back!
34 Defeat 25 Enemies Shush! If these lornlings and taxidermy animals get Bavlorna's attention, you're in for a big fight!
Witchlight Portrait BavlornaBlightstraw
Bavlorna:
Lornlings! Come on, or you're getting replaced!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Quick! Hide behind that scenery!
Witchlight Portrait BavlornaBlightstraw
Bavlorna:
Is that you, Champions? Hiding for your safety I see! Hahaha! Well maybe I'll just show Skab and Lyn up and take care of you myself!
Witchlight Portrait BavlornaBlightstraw
Bavlorna:
You riled up my bullywugs! You stole my skull and my cursed thread!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Technically that wasn't us!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Yeah! And Skull Guy chose to come with me! I think. He doesn't talk a lot.
Witchlight Portrait BavlornaBlightstraw
Bavlorna:
You dried me out like beef jerky with that pinwheel! You're going to get what you've earned!
35 Defeat the Bavlorna Bavlorna Blightstraw isn't falling for your tricks again! Battle the first hag of the Hourglass Coven!
Witchlight Portrait BavlornaBlightstraw
Bavlorna:
Urgh! I won't forget this! I'll regroup and bring the worst to bear against you!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We can catch up to her at the Palace of Heart's Desire. Quick! We need to find that bell!
36 Defeat 25 Enemies Oh no! You're in the middle of Skabatha's army! Fight your way through without attracting too much attention!
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
The cranes land up on the roof. We need to get back up there.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
If we're not careful, we're going to end up fighting another hag.
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Boo is right! Was that not our goal in the first place? I say we charge ahead and find the next hag!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I'm all fer it, lad, but first we gotta get through these minions! And they seem angry!
37 Defeat 25 Enemies These tin soldiers and boggles still seem angry for the havoc you wreaked in Loomlurch! Stand your ground!
38 Collect 25 Tin Helmets Those tin helmets will provide some protection. Collect them up!
Icon NPC Skabatha
Skabatha:
Hey! Lorna! Can you throw some of my redcaps on your lilypad? I don't have room!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Skabatha Nightshade! Stand and fight!
Icon NPC Skabatha
Skabatha:
Oh, great, the adventurers caught up! Take care of this minions!
39 Defeat 25 Enemies The minions of Thither seek to pin you down on this stage and prevent your escape! Don't let them!
Icon NPC Skabatha
Skabatha:
Endelyn thinks she has the best plans, but did it occur to her that you were here listening? No!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Did it occur to you?
Icon NPC Skabatha
Skabatha:
Listen, funny boy, I don't have to put up with this! You were lucky last time, and bolstered by a whole bunch of obnoxious children! I'll take you down right here! I don't need to regroup!
40 Defeat the Skabatha Skabatha is more than ready for another fight! Don't let Granny Nightshade defeat you!
Icon NPC Skabatha
Skabatha:
Arrgh! I've had enough of this! Sit here and rot! I'll be back from the palace as soon as you stop expecting me!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Then we will never stop expecting you! Oh...she left.
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
Let her. We know where they're headed and we know how to get there. Revenge may be delayed but it will be sweeter for the waiting.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Ugh, do you listen to yourself? Come on, Drama-Bunny, let's get moving.
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
This is the belfry!
Witchlight Portrait Star
Star:
[indicates] Birds!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Why are there so many birds in the belfry? I thought that was supposed to be bats.
Witchlight Portrait Dottie
Dottie:
These are messenger birds! And also some bird messages! She must send out her letters from here!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Get down! They're diving!
41 Defeat 25 Enemies This hidden belfry is full of messenger birds -- and you don't have anything for them! Protect yourselves!
42 Defeat 25 Enemies Paper birds and falcons dive out of the air toward you! Cut them down!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
We need to find the bell in here. It's got to be somewhere!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
There are almost too many paper birds to see!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Say...if these are messages in the form of birds...maybe there's something interesting -- I mean, useful in them!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Jarlaxle, are you planning to read someone's private correspondence?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Of course not. Just...look over there for a minute.
43 Collect 25 Folded Letters These messages might contain some information about what you're heading into! See what you can find!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Ooh, this one's juicy: 'My darling Bav, Skab had the horn but either lost it or forgot where she hid it. Her head is so full of cobwebs. Imagine what she'll be like when she's senile. Your favorite sister, End.'
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The unicorn horn? Why are they tracking that?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Immense magical power? This one's interesting. 'Lord Kelek, Your missing colleague, Skylla, has been my guest for some time, but I'm afraid she has worn out her welcome. In exchange for my generosity, I'm hoping you can take her off my hands.'
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Didn't that goblin call Charmay 'Skylla' before?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I thought you didn't want to be involved in this.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Stop being smug and let me see the letter!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
It sounds like the League of Malevolence are holed up in the Palace of Heart's Desire and they and the hags are using each other. But what for? To keep Zybilna away from Prismeer? And why do they want the unicorn horn?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Look fer that bell, and we can go ta tha Palace and find out ourselves!
44 Defeat 25 Enemies More death from the sky! Take these birds out!
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
Found it! I'll just jump up and --
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Ow! That's loud!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Show off.
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
Am I? How high can you jump?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
...We should head out to the platform to see if we can spot those cranes.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Hold up, drow! We've got company! A construct sparrow!
45 Defeat the Mechanical Sparrow Ring that bell before Endelyn's mechanical sparrow pecks your eyes out!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] The cranes! They're here!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
My goodness, they're gigantic!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Marvel from up on top, we need to get moving!
Witchlight Portrait Dottie
Dottie:
Whee! We're flying!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Look! Up ahead! Is that Endelyn's ornithopter?
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Taking off and leaving her sisters behind. What a coven.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
We can catch her if we keep our speed up!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yeah, those flying monkeys jumping off the back don't bode well for that! Look alive!
46 Defeat 25 Enemies You're up so high, but the enemies keep coming! Fight among the clouds!
Witchlight Portrait EndelynMoongrave
Endelyn:
Well, Champions, we meet properly at last...and for the last time! If you think I'm letting you get to the cauldron, you've got another thing coming!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
What cauldron?
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Minsc, shush!
Witchlight Portrait EndelynMoongrave
Endelyn:
Have some paper birds to keep you busy!
47 Defeat 25 Enemies Endelyn has minions to spare, even up here! Hold the giant cranes back against them!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
What did Break-a-Leg say Endelyn's weakness was?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
An eclipse. Fat lot of good that does us!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
An eclipse? Like a selenelion eclipse!
Witchlight Portrait Gleam
Gleam:
Oh! That's us! The Selenelion Twins.
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
An eclipse at moonset, in symbol at least. Is that why she kept us separated?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
It's worth a try! We'll pluck these falcons while you get into position.
48 Collect 25 Falcon Feathers Those falcons keep attacking, but their feathers would make nice fletching! Collect some falcon feathers!
49 Defeat 25 Enemies More enemies threaten to send you plummeting into the mists! Fight back!
Witchlight Portrait EndelynMoongrave
Endelyn:
I suppose we're doing this. How tragic: you had the chance to run away and survive and instead you chose foolhardy goodness!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
I will ALWAYS choose foolhardy goodness over evil! And sometimes just foolhardiness!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
What's so special about the cauldron?
Witchlight Portrait EndelynMoongrave
Endelyn:
If you have to ask, you'll never know! Hold on tight, Champions! It's a long way to fall and there aren't that many cranes to catch you!
50 Defeat the Endelyn Moongrave Endelyn and her contraptions are the greatest threat in the skies! The giant cranes can save you if you fall -- but then you can't fight!
Witchlight Portrait Gleam
Gleam:
Presenting!
Witchlight Portrait Glister
Glister:
The acrobatic prowess of the Selenelion Twins! I am the sun, lifting the moon --
Witchlight Portrait Gleam
Gleam:
-- Right in front of her! How do you like that!
Witchlight Portrait EndelynMoongrave
Endelyn:
Curses! An eclipse! Bah! This isn't over! You won't take Prismeer! You won't free Zybilna!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
After that ornithopter!
