Enter the Palace of Heart's Desire and finally unlock the secrets of Prismeer.
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
The Palace of Heart's Desire... Zybilna's seat of power. I can't believe we're really here. This place was like a fairy tale when I was growing up.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Hold onto your monologue, Murderbunny. We don't know how much this place has been warped by the Hourglass Coven, or even what was dangerous here before. We need to get the lay of the land -- carefully -- and see if we can figure out how to free Zybilna.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I'm thinkin' tha danglin' knight wasn't an original feature. What do ya suppose he's doin' up there?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Floating in air. Maybe being dead. Ooh! He would be a pretty cool looking undead servant! With that blue armor and the big sword! Can we get him down so I can raise him?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We most certainly cannot! If we're going to do anything we're going to try and heal him.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
If we're going to anything, we're going to fight off these pests right now.
1 Defeat 25 Enemies Prismeer's pesky pixies and strange pangolins swarm around you! Cut them down!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We need to focus. The hags of the hourglass coven have almost certainly retreated here if the forces we faced in the garden are any indication. We know the League of Malevolence is here somewhere. And we have to find Zybilna's cauldron if we're going to free her.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
And we need to get that guy down so we can ASK him if he wants to be my undead servant.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yeah he seems pretty settled hanging in midair. I vote that one's at the bottom of the list of things to do.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Agreed. Let's make our way into the palace and look around.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Hiss, get away from the railing! It's not safe!
Witchlight Portrait NatsBabyCrocodile
Hiss:
Man not sssafe! Hisss ssssave him!
Witchlight Portrait Star
Star:
[indicates] How? You're too little.
Witchlight Portrait NatsBabyCrocodile
Hiss:
... Hissss... bitesss. Bitesss HEROICALLY?
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] You can't get that high. You'd have to fly. Come on, we'll find something for us to do that's heroic but less dangerous.
Witchlight Portrait Star
Star:
[indicates] Paper birds? Fluffy animals? You can get them, Hiss!
2 Defeat 25 Enemies Fluffy shambling mound pangolins and paper birds rush toward you! Don't let Hiss have all the fun!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Look at all this pretty stained glass! Oh I wish Squiddly were here. He would love to collect some.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like more signs o' a struggle.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] You don't think Squiddly and Jenks were here when this fight happened, do you?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Yorven says children are taken to safety when they're in danger. I'm sure they're fine and we'll find them. Why don't we collect some of this glass for when we find them?
3 Collect 25 Stained Glass Pieces Stained glass fragments glitter in the sunlight that streams through the windows. Get some for Squiddly and Jenks before these pixies and paper birds stop you!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Do you have any idea where to look for the kid-safe storage area, Murderbunny?
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
No. I know it exists somewhere within Zybilna's reach. So if we find her, she should be able to help us find them. But where it might lie within the planes of existence, I can't guess. Though fortunately, neither can the hags of the Hourglass Coven.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
... Hold on a second, you grew up here and got thrown into the Shadowfell by those hags. How come the safety spell didn't grab you?
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
My only guess is 'destiny.' Perhaps the Shadowfell was where I was meant to become my true, dark self. Among the --
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Matron mothers, pretend I didn't ask.
4 Defeat 25 Enemies More creatures of the Feywild crowd you, stopping your progress into the Palace of Heart's Desire. Carve a path!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Wow -- how deep does that pit go?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
It's like the sky is turned around and it's just a pit of sky. A stormy pit of sky. I wonder if Zybilna hangs all her enemies over this like 'hahaha! You fools! Now you will fall into the endless storm!' That would be amazing.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Based on everything we've been told about Zybilna that doesn't sound like her.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
I mean, she already has the one guy -- my future zombie bodyguard -- hanging up there.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Blooshi --
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] What's that wind? Where's that wind from?
5 Defeat the Air Elemental An air elemental howls up from the depths of the Court of Storms! Stop its attack!
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
Quick! Let's head through that door before any more of them attack!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Oh! This is beautiful! The night sky! I mean... I would have made certain to add the moon, as I don't think there's a more important feature of the night sky, but still. It's so realistic!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Uncanny. I dinnae like it.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
This whole place can be summed up as 'uncanny, I don't like it.'
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
In what way? It's all been fairly charming and pleasant, so far as I've seen.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Someone put a LOT of magic behind being charming and pleasant, which in my experience? Means they're neither. If you have to work hard to convince people you're something, chances are you're nothing of the sort.
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
That's why SOME of us just OWN it! Pixies! Get 'em!
6 Defeat 25 Enemies Pixies and goblins fill the Hall of Stars under the pixie leader's orders! What is she doing here?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
On no! You again!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Why are you in a teapot?
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
What do you mean 'me again'? You're the ones interrupting my spa day! I thought you were heading to Yon, anyway?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
No we've been there. Staged a play -- I was AMAZING -- and met Endelyn Moongrave. Then we fought her and her sisters and came here to find Zybilna and some kids. But there was a whole thing with a guy that had a zombie army --
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
You're boring me! That is the opposite of relaxing! Goblins! Get them!
7 Defeat 25 Enemies At the pixie leader's command, goblins and toadstools attack you! Hold your ground!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Look, we're trying to find Zybilna so we can rescue our friends and stop the Hourglass Coven. If you just point us to her cauldron, we can go our separate ways.
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
Or you can get out of my new spa! We're making BANK! Look at all our coins!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Coins? No one uses coins in Prismeer! You stole those!
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
Stole them fair and square!
8 Collect 25 Coinpurses Those coinpurses must have been stolen from people outside the Feywild! Take them back!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Your ill-gotten gains will be going back to their rightful owners
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
These are buttons...
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
Fairly stolen buttons! You give those back!
9 Defeat 25 Enemies The pixie leader's forces turn on you in a full assault! Drive them back!
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
Enough of this! This isn't relaxing at all! My oolong soak is almost up and I'm tenser than ever!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
All we need is for you to let us get past you! If you don't want to tell us where Zybilna's cauldron is that's fine -- just let us past!
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
No! I'm too angry! The only way I'm going to get my relaxation back is by pummeling you lot!
10 Defeat the Pixie Soaking in a Teapot That pixie leader won't give up! Knock her and her flying teapot out!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Do you think she's gone for good now?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No. Some things are impossible to stop and it's best you learn that now while you're young. Death, evil, nobody taking the last sandwich from the plate, and that pixie leader. Some things never change.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi... What happened here? Looks like a fight broke out. Was that pixie leader in here?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
If she was I think she made herself giant first. And maybe learned some fire spells...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Who's that woman? Saer? Well met, can you hear me?
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Lady? Lady?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Ooh, I think she's frozen like my future zombie bodyguard. Somebody's doing magic in here.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Aye, and some more o' that magic is comin' this way!
11 Defeat 25 Enemies Animated objects attack while satyrs take aim at you! Fight them off!
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
There's something on the dais beside her. Those markings. It looks as if the cauldron was here at one time. Someone must have taken it.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
My coin's on that pixie leader. Probably calling it her swimming pool and charging knots of string to use it.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Dinna forget about tha League o' Malevolence. Seems like tha kind o' magical artifact an evil adventurin' party might like ta get their hands on!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Which is why I still disagree with this 'Maybe Warduke will choose to be heroic' plan, Celeste. I know we need the sword to break the cauldron, but we ought to have a different plan for when he turns out to be exactly the same violent maniac as before.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
When you have a better idea, I would love to hear it.
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
Perhaps this can wait until the satyrs and toadstools have stopped attacking.
12 Defeat 25 Enemies More satyrs and angry toadstools charge you from the ballroom's edges! Fight them off!
13 Collect 25 Satyr Bows Those satyrs can't shoot you if they don't have bows! Get 'em!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] This knight lady is completely frozen. She doesn't even move when I poke her. See?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Try poking her in the eye. Like this!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Blooshi! Nat! Stop harassing the frozen adventurer. We're going to need to help her, but first we have to find out what's going on. I think we should move on.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
I'm into it. But like, those toadstools and satyrs and animated objects don't seem to agree.
14 Defeat 25 Enemies A disorganized swarm of enemies harries you! Carve a path to the next room!
15 Defeat the Satyr Leader The leader of the satyrs challenges you! Defeat his charge!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Oh this room is so nice! Flowers everywhere! It totally goes with my vibe. Just needs more skulls.
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
I don't see any sign of the hags, but we should be cautious. Danger could be lurking in every shadow, peril in every corner.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
In THIS room? All I see are plants. Can plants be perilous?
Witchlight Portrait NatsBabyCrocodile
Hiss:
Plantssss attacking! Attacking plantsss!
16 Defeat 25 Enemies The flowers that decorate the hall are fresh and lovely, but the toadstools and awakened shrubs are fierce and vicious! Defend yourselves!
17 Defeat 25 Enemies More awakened shrubs and pixies charge down the hall! Stop their advance!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Look! The vase has words on it. 'Take One.'
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Hm. Might be a warnin'. Like ye need ta take one ta cross tha hall safely. Might be a trap too.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Everything we've heard suggests Zybilna is kind. Not the sort to set a trap.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
As stated previously, most villains don't announce they're going to set off a trap!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Aye, tha drow has a point. Course, it looks like tha shrubs are carryin' roses already to cross tha room, so maybe that's tha clue we need!
18 Collect 25 White Roses You need these white roses to pass safely down through the hall. Gather them up!
19 Defeat 25 Enemies Your progress is tested by a swarm of enemies -- show them what it means to be the Champions!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We need to press on. There's nothing in this room to lead us to Zybilna or where the hags might be hiding.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Maybe that angry tree woman's ghost knows!
20 Defeat the Dryad Spirit The spirit of the dryad rages at your trespass! Fight back!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Well this room is crowded!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Look at all the glass people!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
And more frozen ones too. The spell that was affecting the garden must have encompassed the castle as well.
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Boo's right! Something moved over there! One of the hag's minions? A member of the League of Malevolence?
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
No, it's one of the glass statues! They're alive!
21 Defeat 25 Enemies All around you are glass statues of people and monsters -- but did that one move? Fight the glasswork golems and animated objects!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Just to be technical, they're animate, not alive.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh good, then I don't need to worry about their feelings when we cut them down to stop them attacking us.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
That isn't what I --
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
The main feeling to consider is 'evil.' If they have it, then I will strike them down!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Ooh, look another frozen guy!
Witchlight Portrait Star
Star:
[indicates] A wizard! An evil wizard?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Hmm. It's hard to tell. Like long beard sort of just means 'wizard.' Fancy staff also goes both ways. Robes are standard. He doesn't have the soul of an apprentice trapped in a jar so that's a point for good... but we don't know what's in his pockets. Undetermined.
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
We do know there's a wizard among the League of Malevolence. Those others -- Zardok, Skylla, and Zargash -- mentioned him: Kelek.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Okay point in the 'evil' column.
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
Another point -- those creatures are attacking again. We need to defend him if we're going to figure out who he is.
22 Defeat 25 Enemies Are the frozen people Zybilna's courtiers... or members of the League of Malevolence? You won't find out if these enemies destroy the wizard! Defend him!
23 Collect 25 Stained Glass Swords Those stained glass swords are beautiful but deadly! Disarm the glasswork golems!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Whoever he is, he was fine before we came, and we need to get out of here. It's a dead end and we still need to find Zybilna.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We're gonna have ta go back tha way we came.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh good, the direction all the glasswork golems and angry birds are in.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
OH GOOD! The direction all the glasswork golems and angry birds are in!
24 Defeat 25 Enemies Among the glass statues, the battle rages! Fight your way back to the White Rose Hall and escape!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Oh no! The jabberwock! It's back! Hiss, get behind me!
Witchlight Portrait NatsBabyCrocodile
Hiss:
Hisss is so fierce! Hissss is a hero!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Hiss, it's too big! You're too little!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Nat, you should both get back! I don't like the way it's looking at you!
25 Defeat 1 Jabberwock The jabberwock with eyes aflame has tracked you down! Take down this manxome foe!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That was close! What's it doin' here?
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
That thief said the jabberwock had a different mistress than the hags. Maybe it belonged to Zybilna.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
The eerie terrifying monster is the pet of our so-called fairy godmother? Blooshi, put a tick in the evil column for Zybilna, would you? And then let's get out of here.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
This palace is enormous and full of magical traps. We need to stop walking in circles hoping we trip over Zybilna's cauldron or the Hourglass Coven.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
How are we supposed to do that? Do you have a map?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Let's start by checking the doors and THINKING about where you might find a magic cauldron.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Ooh! A magic fire!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
That pixie's spa!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
If yer gonna start checkin' doors, start with tha one ye came through! We've been followed!
26 Defeat 25 Enemies The glasswork golems and their airborne friends follow you into the White Rose Hall, looking for more trouble! Give them something to consider!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
All right if we're going to start scouting for better paths, we should start testing doors. But one at a time! And carefully -- Minsc don't kick down a door just to find out that's where the jabberwock went.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Aw.
27 Defeat 25 Enemies You need to choose a different room to explore -- but these paper birds and glasswork golems won't give you a moment to consider! Shut them down!
Witchlight Portrait Star
Star:
[indicates] Help! Help!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi, lad, stop playin' in tha rug!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
That's no rug! It's... Well it is a rug, but a rug of smothering!
28 Defeat 1 White Rose Rug The rug peels up, blocking your path and trying to smother you! Defeat the White Rose Rug!
29 Defeat 25 Enemies More enemies charge you from the adjacent rooms! Push them back!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Look, this room is literally trying to kill us. I found a door that leads to some stairs. I say we go explore a different level and work on being strategic when the windows aren't fighters and the rug doesn't want to eat us.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Agreed! Agreed!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Before you do anything, we need to stop these glasswork golems following us! Especially that big one!
30 Defeat the Master Glasswork Golem The master glasswork golem gleams in a hundred vibrant shades of sharp-edged glass! Cut it down before it cuts you!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
All right, looks like we've found a library. Maybe a secret library. Seems a solid enough place to find a magical one-of-a-kind cauldron.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
If it's a secret, it's not a very good one. Look! Someone's already here!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Ooh, another wizard. Let's see... long beard? Could go either way. Ominous staff? Same. But the spiky black robes definitely have a more 'evil overlord' vibe, even if it's kind of been done. Maybe he's like an antihero wizard?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well one way or another we're going to have to find out.
31 Defeat 25 Enemies You've found what seems to be a secret library. But it's not so secret that you don't have company! Fight off these attackers and find out who that wizard is!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
I've got it. Excuse me! Wizard guy! Hey are you evil?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
[sigh] Are you Kelek?
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
What? Who are you people? Where did you come from? I don't have time for your inane questions. Of course I'm Kelek. Now unless you possess a unicorn horn, get out of my way. Go play with some giant rats or something.
32 Defeat 25 Enemies Kelek? The leader of the League of Malevolence? You can't let him roam free! Fight past these giant rats and animated tea sets!
Witchlight Portrait Star
Star:
[indicates] We do have a unicorn horn
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] I don't think we should tell him that.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Try and take it, villain! We'll never give up the horn!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Minsc!
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
I don't think you know who you're dealing with.
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
I am indeed Kelek, the leader of the League of Malevolence, the greatest wizard you shall ever meet and the destroyer of Valor's Call.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That's tha adventurin' party o' Elkhorn and Molliver! But those two ain't destroyed. Are tha others tha frozen people? Tha wizard and tha warrior and tha armored-up cleric?
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
... Yes. But once I recover a unicorn horn, I will be able to unfreeze my nemesis, Ringlerun, and claim his staff at last! And with it the League of Malevolence will be unstoppable!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Bad news. We've defeated your rogue back in the unicorn pool. Took care of your warlock back in Yon. And we defeated your cleric outside just now. So it sounds like the League of Malevolence is literally just you.
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
You've forgotten someone.
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
YAAAAAAAAAAGH!
33 Collect 25 Scrolls Warduke's arrival has scattered scrolls everywhere! You don't want those falling into the wrong hands! Gather them up!
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
Well met, Champions. We came as quick as we could.
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
Excellent and very dramatic timing, Warduke. Though I don't know why you've taken the dwarf hostage. If you have him, you might as well just kill him. But I suppose I don't keep you around for your brains.
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
You don't keep me around at all.
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
What's that supposed to mean?
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
It means I don't work for you anymore. I work with the Champions. This entire endeavor has given me a lot to think about, and the League of Malevolence doesn't have my best interests at heart!
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
You're a mercenary! I pay you! Those are your best interests!
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
WELL THEY CAN PAY ME BETTER!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
We do have a truly ridiculous amount of coin to share.
34 Defeat 25 Enemies You could cut the tension with a knife! But you should probably cut down all these enemies attacking you instead!
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
I can't believe I'm hearing this. The great Warduke, turning hero? No one will trust you. No one will have your back. No one will be your FRIEND!
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
Well hang on a minute, we've been getting along just fine!
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
Grrr, the dwarf actually asks me about my interests. He wants to know what's going on with me.
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
I ask you all the time whether you need healing!
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
But you don't ask me why I want all that treasure! You don't ask me what I want to do when we're not hatching a plan! You just talk about yourself AND bluster incessantly to hide your own insecurities. It's incredibly annoying and everyone hates it.
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
WELL, I see how it is. You can't handle being in the League of Malevolence? Then fine. I'm leaving. I'll find my own unicorn horn and you can realize these people are bound to turn on you eventually, and when they do, I'll return and laugh while you die!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
He's gone! But he left something. A big treasure chest!... Oh wait no. Definitely not.
35 Defeat the Spitting Mimic Kelek's escaped, but this spitting mimic is happy to eat you instead! Fight back!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
So... You're on our side now.
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
Well, he is. I'm hoping my friends are still around. I saw Strongheart hanging over that pit of storms on the way in.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Strongheart? Well... Maybe I can get him to change his name to like Darkheart or Shadowsoul when he's my zombie bodyguard.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Blooshi!
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
I... gave it some thought. You are a masterful group and I think I will learn a great deal from you in one way and another. And you seem honorable. So I assume I will get a cut of the piles and piles of gold.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yeah that's pretty standard. Well, welcome aboard, hope you don't try to stab us. Let's take that flaming sword of yours and try to track down this magic cauldron.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
... Boy this place is turning me around. This looks like the hall downstairs.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Mmm, the stars are subtly but distinctly different. This is a different area of the night sky.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Hold up! Someone's movin' down there.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
I don't see anything.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I swear that shadow moved!
Witchlight Portrait NatsBabyCrocodile
Hiss:
Hissss bite ssshadow! Hisss bite goblinsss!
36 Defeat 25 Enemies The Palace of Heart's Desire might be frozen in time, but these goblins have evaded the curse along with their animated tea sets! Don't let them evade your blades!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
There it is again! Oi! Come out with yer hands up and yer weapons down!
Witchlight Portrait Thinnings
Thinnings:
I have no weapons, sir dwarf. My name is Thinnings, and am here to serve. I am Zybilna's loyal butler. I have been watching your progress through the palace. I saw you dispose of that odious cleric in the garden. And the wizard? Have you dealt with him?
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
He fled. Like a coward.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Do ye know how ta find tha cauldron? We're tryin' ta save yer mistress.
Witchlight Portrait Thinnings
Thinnings:
The cauldron? It is missing. It was in the ballroom when she disappeared, but I can't figure out where it might have gone. I am searching as well.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Do you know... Where are all these goblins coming from?
37 Defeat 25 Enemies More goblins storm the hall, accompanied by the glasswork golems! Shatter their plans!
38 Collect 25 Arrows How can you have a conversation when they keep pelting you with arrows? Grab those projectiles!
Witchlight Portrait Thinnings
Thinnings:
Oh the goblins are a recent issue. I think that League of Malevolence might have let... something in.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That sounds ominous.
Witchlight Portrait Thinnings
Thinnings:
Good. Dark things are happening in the Palace of Heart's Desire, and I fear for Mistress Zybilna.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
How did ye escape tha curse?
Witchlight Portrait Thinnings
Thinnings:
I was away on an errand for my mistress. When I returned, I found the house this way. Courtiers frozen, hags giving orders, goblins running amok. It's a disgrace!
39 Defeat 25 Enemies What is agitating these goblins? Push back these enemies or you'll never find out.
Icon Portrait Nilbog
Nilbog:
Yahahaha! What a perfect place to spread some chaos! Wreck it all up, my goblin friends!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Another nilbog!... Hey wait, is 'nilbog' just 'goblin' backward?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Did you just now notice that?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Hey, your language is weird. No croaks. Also, how is he a backward goblin? He's just an extra annoying goblin!
Icon Portrait Nilbog
Nilbog:
You forgot the MAGIC!
40 Defeat the Nilbog A nilbog! Again? Why do these guys keep popping up? Fight back and stop his chaos!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Thinnings, do you know how to unfreeze the people trapped in the curse? Kelek seems to think it involves a unicorn horn.
Witchlight Portrait Thinnings
Thinnings:
I believe so. It won't remove the curse entirely -- you're right to seek out the cauldron for that. But if you touch someone affected with the curse and speak their name, it will unlock them. The hags used one to unfreeze several villains to guard the cauldron for them. But that didn't work out so well.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
What do ye think happened?
Witchlight Portrait Thinnings
Thinnings:
If I had to guess? I would suspect the jabberwock. It is her pet, you see? But not so well trained. It would drink from the cauldron and guarded it fiercely. I would assume the jabberwock has taken the cauldron into one of its nests. But I don't recommend you go in after it. Unless you want to face its claws?
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
If you still have the unicorn horn Mishka hid in the garden, then we should take it down and test it on Strongheart. If we can get him back, it can only help us against something as strong as that jabberwock.
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
Ugh, I suppose.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
You two know each other I gather?
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
We did.
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
They used to be friends. Had a falling out. Related to the... well the 'becoming evil' thing.
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
If he was my friend, he should have stood by me! I don't want to talk about it!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Is this a good time to offer some clerically approved talk therapy! Because I am very excited to offer my help. You can ask around! I'm trained in multiple disciplines and -- Wait. Pixies again?
41 Defeat 25 Enemies Pixies and paper birds! This doesn't bode well... Cut them down!
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
What's up, losers? Did you find that cauldron? You better because you can't fit your big butts in my teapot.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Oh sweet Selûne...
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
Is that a pixie in a flying teapot? Do you know her?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
We haven't found it yet. But we have some good leads!
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
You didn't find it yet? You just came tromping back into my spa without bringing your own soaking vessel? Rude. Rude, rude, rude!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We don't have time for a soak!
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
Well the manicures are booked out for three tendays, so figure something out!
42 Defeat 25 Enemies We could try a wrap? Or maybe an aromatherapy facial? Or maybe just fighting some pixies and glasswork golems!
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
Here's our newest treatment! Cold teaspoons on your eyes. It feels great and makes you look more awake!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Where are tha teaspoons?
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
You have to find them! Haven't you ever been to a spa? Trick question: those split ends in your beard say 'Never in my life'!
43 Collect 25 Teaspoons This teaspoon treatment is going to brighten your whole face! Or possibly kill you! Take those pixies down!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Okay we have the teaspoons. Now what?
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
Now you cover your eyes with them, and I steal everything in your pockets and splash hot tea on you.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
That sounds awful!
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
It's good for your circulation! Stop being a baby and let me splash hot tea on you!
44 Defeat 25 Enemies This pixie spa feels more like a brawl! Defend against the pixie leader's minions!
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
If you didn't bring your own soaking tub and you won't take the cold teaspoon-boiling hot tea facial, then what are you even doing in my spa!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Trying to get to the room full of storms! Honestly, why are you always putting yourself right in the middle of where we're trying to pass?
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
It's a high traffic area! I'm trying to attract business! You don't know anything about running a spa!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Neither do you!
Icon Portrait PixieLeader
Pixie Leader:
OH THAT'S IT! THAT'S DONE IT! WE'RE DOING THIS NOW!
45 Defeat the Pixie Soaking in a Tea Pot It always comes down to this, and it will always come down to this. It's never a goodbye, only an 'until next time' when you battle the pixie leader! Stand firm!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
You know, I almost miss her when she goes.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Do not talk to me right now.
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
There he is! We just have to get the unicorn horn up there to touch him with it.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Pretty sure if we break the stasis on him while he's floating over the storm he's just going to plummet into the void. We need to get him over here to us before we do anything.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
He's very far up. We'll need some way to fly up to him.
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
Oh I think that's unnecessary. You need to survive first, which means handing over that horn.
46 Defeat 25 Enemies Kelek returns, surrounded by animated objects! Don't let them push you over the side!
Witchlight Portrait NatsBabyCrocodile
Hiss:
Hisssss, bite. Bite heroically.
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
What... What is that thing? What did you do to that crocodile hatchling? Is that the unicorn horn? Did you glue a unicorn horn to it?
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Hiss, stay back! You're still too little!
Witchlight Portrait NatsBabyCrocodile
Hiss:
No! My horn! Hiss isss not little. Hissss isss BIG!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
... Nat, is she growing?
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
Enough of this! Quasits! Clear a path for me!
47 Defeat 25 Enemies Something's happening to Hiss, but there's no time to figure out what! Defend against those quasits and animated tea sets!
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
If you won't be sensible and give me... Seriously, what is happening to that crocodile? Is it bulging? They're not supposed to bulge.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[Signs] Hiss! Hiss! Celeste, help! Something's wrong!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I think the magic in her might be changing! Hold on to her!
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
It's... very weird. But regardless, it has no bearing on my plans! If you won't give me the unicorn horn, then I shall take it! Quasits! Empty their pockets!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
You want everything that looks like a unicorn horn in our pockets. When we've outwitted the unicorn pool, won ridiculous prizes at the Witchlight Carnival, and rifled through the costume boxes of Yon. All right. Let's see how this plays out. How much can a quasit carry anyway?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Jarlaxle, we can't risk him getting the real horn! We need to get those back!
48 Collect 25 Fake Unicorn Horns The quasits grab everything you have that looks like a unicorn horn -- which at this point is a LOT! Grab them back to make sure you have the true horn!
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
At last, I... A twisty branch? A candy container? What is this?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I told you.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Nat, do you still have the unicorn horn safe?
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
That is fair -- her attention is on Hiss. But... it seems to be stopping. I think she will be okay! But... BIGGER. She is definitely bigger. And what is bulging on her back?
49 Defeat 25 Enemies Kelek isn't going down without a fight -- he sends more animated objects and quasits at you as he searches the false horns for the real one.
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
I have tried to be reasonable --
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
You have never been reasonable. You are obsessed with power, a coward, and WHY do our plans ALWAYS come back to unicorns? What is the deal with unicorns!?
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
That's not for you --
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
Not for you to know. Right. Because I have a sword and I'll do things for money without asking questions, I don't DESERVE to know what's going on.
Witchlight Portrait Kelek
Kelek:
You're making this weird.
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
No YOU'RE making it the last fight we have! Prepare to die, Kelek!
50 Defeat the Kelek Kelek, master of the League of Malevolence, brings fire to his hands and faces you! Draw your weapons and ready your spells!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
All right, in the future, maybe wait for the rest of us before you charge in on a personal grudge against a powerful spellcaster.
Icon Warduke
Warduke:
He's dealt with isn't he?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yeah, but teamwork is important here. Celeste, what... okay, wings? Does Nat's crocodile have wings now? That's... That's new and somehow even weirder.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] She has wings! She can fly! She's big enough to ride and she can fly right up and get that Strongheart guy for us!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
That does simplify the next part of the plan. If Hiss can fly up and pull Strongheart down, we can use the unicorn horn to remove the stasis spell from him. It's a very convenient situation really.
Icon Asharra
Asharra:
... All right, I just want to point out I've been RIGHT HERE this ENTIRE TIME with my wings and... and now the crocodile is saving the day?
