Transcript[]
| Get to the Dock Ward before the city is overrun! | ||||||
| Area | Goal | Quests & Cinematics | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
On the list of cities I expect to collapse abruptly -- with or without the influence of an unknowable force -- I'm not going to lie: Waterdeep doesn't even rank in the top twenty. Who would have expected we'd be helping evacuate the entire City of Splendors? | |||||
Minsc: |
We should be staying and fighting! These evil vines are the cause of the problem. Since we know that, we know what we need to attack! It's just a matter of attacking MORE. | |||||
Celeste: |
The crystalline vines are indestructible once they reach full size. We need to get these people to the docks. We can figure out how to save Waterdeep after--people come first. | |||||
![]() Flapjack: |
While I've appreciated the tour of your, erm, fine city, I think it's best I head back to my ship. I'm going to go find Elaina. Come to the Moondancer -- it's moored at the eastern end of the docks. We'll wait until you arrive! Assuming these vine things don't, um, necessitate our leaving faster. | |||||
Nordom: |
Acknowledged! We can navigate to that location assuming pathways are not damaged. | |||||
Havilar: |
And hey, maybe we can't fight those huge vines, but we can fight the plant monsters that keep dropping from them! Silver linings! | |||||
| 1 | Defeat 25 Enemies | These strange plants are unstoppable! Head for the docks! | ||||
Squiddly: |
Do you think Nat and Jenks are all right? | |||||
Farideh: |
Laeral's with them. She'll make sure they evacuate safely. We'll meet back up when we get away from the city. I promise, we'll find them. | |||||
Havilar: |
Yeah, and they're super tough and heroic for kids. Don't worry. | |||||
Squiddly: |
Hey! | |||||
| 2 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The last thing you need are poisonous monster caterpillars! Fight back the onslaught of blights and bugs! | ||||
Celeste: |
This way! Everyone! This way! | |||||
Mirt the Moneylender: |
Champions! Thank the Watching Gods you're here! We have a situation! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
The evacuation? Yeah, we noticed. | |||||
Mirt the Moneylender: |
More than that! A crooked merchant! They've been smuggling in dangerous animals to sell as pets to bored nobles. One of those vines came up through their house and now there are hundreds of dangerous creatures milling around while we're trying to evacuate! I need your help! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
You want us to fight a bunch of weird creatures while the city is falling down around us? That feels like second-string hero work. | |||||
Celeste: |
We'll take care of it, saer. Come on, Jarlaxle. | |||||
Nordom: |
My sensors indicate those caterpillars are exceptionally poisonous to organic life. Be careful, humanoids! | |||||
Celeste: |
Actually, if we can collect their poison sacs, it's possible to make a potent antitoxin! | |||||
Squiddly: |
I'll get them! I bet I can make the best antitoxin! | |||||
Celeste: |
Squiddly, get away from those caterpillars! | |||||
| 3 | Collect 25 Poison Sacs | Those caterpillars' poison sacs make useful ingredients in Celeste's rituals! Collect them up! | ||||
| 4 | Defeat 25 Enemies | What kind of people buy pet flying monkeys and giant caterpillars? Get them away from the evacuating citizens! | ||||
Havilar: |
Ugh. The caterpillars make a really gross splat when you chop them. | |||||
Squiddly: |
Hey I found this stick! This is like a glaive, right? | |||||
Havilar: |
I mean...it's like half a glaive? | |||||
Squiddly: |
Hyah! Hyah! Let me at those caterpillars! | |||||
Havilar: |
Hey slow down...Wait, why are people screaming NOW? | |||||
Squiddly: |
Wow THAT'S a big caterpillar. Hey I bet I could hit that with my glaive-stick! Bigger means bigger target, right? | |||||
| 5 | Defeat the Spiked Caterpillar | A giant spiked caterpillar creeps through the crowds! Stop that dangerous beast! | ||||
Farideh: |
Havi, keep an eye on Squiddly. I think he's...well, he's doing what Squiddly does. | |||||
Havilar: |
Collecting junk? | |||||
Farideh: |
No, he's trying to emulate you. Like he did with Jarlaxle? And then Yorven? He's got a little bit of a hero-worshipping streak. And now he's pretending he has a glaive? Repeating what you said? | |||||
Havilar: |
Ohhh, you think he wants to be like me now. Got it. Well, I can probably teach him to use a glaive. Hey! Squiddly! You have to sweep THROUGH the strike. Like this! | |||||
| 6 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Demonic Squirrels? Flying monkeys? This is why Waterdeep has import regulations! | ||||
| 7 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The astral blights don't care about the demonic squirrels -- they're all barrelling toward you the same! | ||||
Boo: |
Squeak! | |||||
Minsc: |
Boo is right! The people fleeing will need the pieces of bread those flying monkeys are making off with! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Who in their right mind even wants a flying monkey for a pet? | |||||
Boo: |
Squeak. | |||||
Minsc: |
Boo is right. Some people can be very irrational when it comes to cute animals. | |||||
| 8 | Collect 25 Pieces of Bread | These flying monkeys are taking food the refugees of Waterdeep will need! Get it back! | ||||
| 9 | Defeat 25 Enemies | A menagerie of chaos threatens the evacuation! Cut a path through the mayhem! | ||||
Squiddly: |
Should I name my weapon? I should name my weapon. | |||||
Havilar: |
Um, you should, but-- | |||||
Nordom: |
Stick 1.0 is a good name. | |||||
Squiddly: |
It's not a stick! It's...almost a glaive. I need a blade for it though. | |||||
Celeste: |
You are ten, no blades! | |||||
Havilar: |
All right, hang on, that can't be right. I definitely had at least a short sword at his age. What if we just tie a dagger to the end? | |||||
| 10 | Defeat the Monkey Tamer | The merchant is trying to escape with some of the animals -- and she's willing to put up a fight! Doesn't she understand she needs to evacuate? | ||||
Celeste: |
...and get yourself down to the docks! We're in a crisis, this is not the time to worry about your ill-gotten wares! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Yeah, just take the stuff that fits in your pockets. | |||||
Celeste: |
Stop helping. We need to head for the docks. | |||||
| 11 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The more monsters in the streets, the fewer people can get to the docks! Make way! | ||||
Celeste: |
All these vines are making it hard to get through the city! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
The crowds are worse. There's blights rampaging, some squirrels we missed, and a whole lot of people who think this is just part of the celebration. | |||||
Nordom: |
COMMENCE SORTING! Redirect the inebriated! Cut down the rampaging! Adopt the demonic squirrels as small army! | |||||
Celeste: |
No no no no no! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Cut down the squirrels! Cut down the squirrels! | |||||
| 12 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The road is getting worse! Cut a path through the chaos! | ||||
Minsc: |
Another pile of rubble! Good thing we are prepared! | |||||
![]() Astral Elf Aristocrat: |
Halt! Hand over the royal ring and we will leave you to your doom. | |||||
Minsc: |
Our doom? That sounds like you are looking for YOUR doom! | |||||
Boo: |
Squeak! | |||||
![]() Astral Elf Aristocrat: |
Your doom is sealed for the future of Xaryxis. Give us the royal ring and you may enjoy the time you have left. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Alternately: no. | |||||
| 13 | Defeat 1 Rubble | More of those strange elves -- and now the path is blocked! Clear it before their archers take you out! | ||||
Squiddly: |
Havi! Havi! Those are the space elves! | |||||
Havilar: |
Wait, really? The space elves are real? | |||||
Squiddly: |
Yeah! They were fighting with a different space elf, a woman who had like a crown thing. I think she was a princess. | |||||
Havilar: |
Did she have a ring? A royal ring? | |||||
Squiddly: |
I dunno. She dropped this rock though. | |||||
Havilar: |
A rock is definitely not a ring. | |||||
| 14 | Defeat 25 Enemies | These strange elves think you have something they want -- well, you've got a fight in you! Give it to them! | ||||
![]() Astral Elf Aristocrat: |
For the last time, give up this foolish fight and hand over the royal ring. You may think you're aiding Xedelli, but you are only sealing your fate. | |||||
Celeste: |
This city is under attack by unknown entities. It isn't safe here. Whatever you're trying to get, it isn't worth dying over. | |||||
![]() Astral Elf Aristocrat: |
The only ones who will be dying are you pitiful worms. If you won't hand over the royal ring, I will pluck it from your corpses. | |||||
| 15 | Defeat the Astral Elf Aristocrat | This strange elf doesn't think you're much of a threat -- show her what you've got! | ||||
Squiddly: |
Hyah! Hyah! | |||||
Farideh: |
Squiddly! The fight's over! Stop swinging that stick! | |||||
Havilar: |
You're not COMMITTING to the strike. Aim for the center of your target and follow through! | |||||
Farideh: |
This is not what I meant by keeping an eye on him! | |||||
Havilar: |
Well I TRIED to get him a dagger to tie on the end, bossyboots, but Celeste said absolutely not. | |||||
| 16 | Defeat 25 Enemies | You've got to make it to the Dock Ward! Defeat these enemies and get back on track! | ||||
The Blackstaff: |
Champions! Over here! I could use your assistance! | |||||
Celeste: |
What is it, saer? | |||||
The Blackstaff: |
I need crowd control. So many people are trying to get to the docks that every blockage and back up is causing ripple effects. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Can't you just teleport them all onto the ships? | |||||
The Blackstaff: |
I'm keeping that in reserve. All the panicking while on the water and navigating landings around masts and ropes, you know. I've pinpointed the issue to an alley west of here. Find out what's going on and get people moving again! | |||||
Celeste: |
We're on it! | |||||
The Blackstaff: |
And pick off some of these blasted seagulls while you're at it! | |||||
| 17 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Seagulls don't care if astral blights are attacking! They want your rations! Fight them off! | ||||
| 18 | Collect 25 Vines | With so many buildings collapsing, more vines might help you rescue anyone trapped! Gather them up! | ||||
Boo: |
Squeak! | |||||
Minsc: |
What? How have we already run out of vines? We need those in case there are trapped people to rescue! | |||||
Boo: |
Squeak! | |||||
Minsc: |
Well, I suppose that is a worthy cause. And considering the number of blights still swarming around us, more vines are easily obtained. | |||||
Nordom: |
Crowds are increasing. This must be the 'backup' the Blackstaff spoke of. | |||||
Celeste: |
We're not even to the alley yet. What is going on? | |||||
Waterdeep Citizen: |
Help! Help! Plant monsters! Rats! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Those blights are taking advantage of the crowd! | |||||
Squiddly: |
I'll get them! Hyah! | |||||
Squiddly: |
...Oh man, my stick broke. | |||||
| 19 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The Blackstaff needs your help to clear the alley -- but the backup starts here! Fight through the dock ward! | ||||
Nordom: |
Query: Where is that ill-tempered rat catcher when you need him? | |||||
Havilar: |
We can handle some rats. | |||||
Nordom: |
Affirmative. But this is a very different rat. | |||||
Havilar: |
How different could it...oh wow, yeah. That is a very big mean-looking rat! | |||||
| 20 | Defeat the Giant One Eyed Rat | You thought the Castle Ward had a rat problem? Amateurs. This one-eyed rat will show you what a real giant rat can do! | ||||
Celeste: |
This is the alley with the back-up! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
And look who it is: Waterdeep's less-than-finest, the mechanical guard. | |||||
Farideh: |
Why are they trying to stop people from getting to the docks? You're making things worse! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Don't try to reason with the constructs, Farideh, just blast them. | |||||
| 21 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The blockage is cause by the City Guard's mechanical guards malfunctioning as they fight the astral blights! Clear them all out! | ||||
| 22 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Seagulls! Knock it off! There are mechanical guards and astral blights to fight! | ||||
Celeste: |
Well, on the bright side, we've got the mechanical guards' attention off the citizens trying to flee. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Yeah, they're just attacking us instead. | |||||
Minsc: |
Haha! Bring your worst, wicked constructs! | |||||
Celeste: |
Get their swords away from them. We don't want them going after the people we're protecting. | |||||
| 23 | Collect 25 Swords | The mechanical guards keep attacking you! Take their swords and force them to stand down! | ||||
Farideh: |
Who thought mechanical guards were a good plan? These aren't making good decisions -- they're acting like this is a riot instead of an evacuation. | |||||
Celeste: |
I heard it was one Guard member's pet project. | |||||
Farideh: |
Oh was it that rude fellow before? I hope he doesn't try to get these all working again. | |||||
| 24 | Defeat 25 Enemies | These mechanical guards seem like a poor investment in retrospect. Shut them down while you fight astral blights! | ||||
Griffon Rider: |
You again! Destroying City Guard property! After I warned you! | |||||
Celeste: |
You need to get these people to the docks. The Blackstaff -- | |||||
Griffon Rider: |
I'm going to need you to drop that weapon and stand down. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
How about we skip all the posturing and subsequent beating you and skip ahead to us being on our way? | |||||
Griffon Rider: |
That's it! Under arrest! You're all under arrest! | |||||
| 25 | Defeat the Griffon Rider | That overambitious griffon rider is back and he's not happy about what you've done to his mechanical forces! Defend yourselves! | ||||
| 26 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Time to make for the docks and help these people get there! Clear the path of enemies! | ||||
Squiddly: |
Nordom can I have one of your crossbows? | |||||
Nordom: |
That is a misidentification. These are not crossbows, they are gear spirits in the form of crossbows. | |||||
Squiddly: |
Can I have one of your gear spirits in the form of crossbows? | |||||
Nordom: |
Query: What is the purpose of this? | |||||
Squiddly: |
I want to shoot them at those seagulls attacking people! Or those vine monsters! | |||||
Nordom: |
Oooh, is this the hero worship Farideh warned about? I am very flattered. And thank you for the warning about seagulls and blights! | |||||
| 27 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Where are all these strange blights coming from? Are they related to the elves? No time to ponder -- cut them down! | ||||
Squiddly: |
I'm not hero worshipping! Why would you say that? I'm just trying out new ways to be heroic! | |||||
Farideh: |
Okay, maybe I should have chosen a different term, but I just meant you get excited about...learning how other people do things. And they should be ready for your enthusiasm. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
It's fine, Squiddly. Just stick close and don't go running into danger. | |||||
Farideh: |
And NO warlock pacts. | |||||
Squiddly: |
Wait...don't you have a warlock pact? | |||||
Farideh: |
Yes, so I know. Come on. | |||||
![]() Astral Elf Commander: |
Halt! | |||||
Havilar: |
Wait, didn't we already fight these jerks? | |||||
Farideh: |
More of Squiddly's space elves. Where are they coming from? They don't dress like any elves I've ever seen. | |||||
![]() Astral Elf Commander: |
Hand over the royal ring and we'll leave you to your fleeing. | |||||
Havilar: |
Well if they're anything like those Xanathar jerks or the Guard jerks, they'll have badges. Let's see who they're working for. | |||||
![]() Astral Elf Commander: |
Are you ignoring me? You WILL take the threat of Xaryxis seriously, Toriliians! Attack, my warriors! | |||||
| 28 | Collect 25 Sigils of Xaryxis | These elves seem like the kind to carry a sign of their allegiance on them. Search them for badges! | ||||
Havilar: |
This symbol looks like a butterfly? A mean butterfly. | |||||
Celeste: |
I've never seen this insignia before. It doesn't connect to any of the elven nations I know of. | |||||
Squiddly: |
That's because they come from SPAAAAACE! | |||||
| 29 | Defeat 25 Enemies | You've never seen elves like this before! Don't underestimate them! | ||||
![]() Astral Elf Commander: |
You have fought bravely, and now you will die bravely -- unless you hand over the royal ring. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Bit of information you might want to pass along to all of your buddies: We don't know what you're talking about! No one has a ring! Also, city's falling down. You need to evacuate. | |||||
![]() Astral Elf Commander: |
Ha! Do not trouble yourself about OUR escape. We will be far ahead of the destruction. Even if your leader survived the assassination, it's too late to stop what's happening. Your fate belongs to Xaryxis. | |||||
| 30 | Defeat the Astral Elf Commander | Another elven leader challenges you for the royal ring! But you don't have a royal ring! They don't seem good at listening! | ||||
Celeste: |
The assassin mentioned Xaryxis too. What is that? | |||||
Minsc: |
It sounds evil. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Yeah, in this case, not gonna lie it sounds like some kind of elder evil. This is the worst holiday break we've ever taken! | |||||
Minsc: |
Look on the bright side: We are nearly to the docks, so now we will have a nice, relaxing sea voyage! | |||||
| 31 | Defeat 25 Enemies | You're nearly to the docks! The vines are getting thicker and the enemies aren't letting up! | ||||
Nordom: |
This is the most direct path to the docks. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Yeah, unless it's blocked by kuo-toa. | |||||
Squiddly: |
Ahh! Fish monsters! Fish monsters! Give me a gear spirit in the form of a crossbow! | |||||
| 32 | Defeat 25 Enemies | More blights block your path and...kuo-toa? What's happening down by the docks?! | ||||
Celeste: |
Why are kuo-toa attacking? They usually don't come anywhere near the harbor. I don't like how this bodes for the evacuation boats. | |||||
Farideh: |
It's as if Waterdeep's under attack from all sides. | |||||
Celeste: |
For now, we listen to the Open Lord. If the situation changes, Laeral will let everyone know. Let's go. | |||||
Farideh: |
I think the situation changed a little! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Great, exactly what we needed -- a small army of kuo-toa swarming the docks. | |||||
Celeste: |
Then we'll be what Waterdeep needs! Push them back and take their weapons! | |||||
| 33 | Collect 25 Tridents | The seas are boiling with enemies! Stop these kuo-toa fighters and take their tridents! | ||||
Farideh: |
They're blocking the way to the ships! If we can't get these kuo-toa and those blights out of the way, people won't be able to evacuate! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Another vine just ripped through Seaswealth Hall! They're coming up closer to the water. | |||||
Minsc: |
Hey you, fishy monsters! Form an orderly line so I can smite you! | |||||
| 34 | Defeat 25 Enemies | These enemies are blocking the way to the ships! Clear the path so the citizens can flee safely! | ||||
| 35 | Defeat the Kuo-Toa Monitor | The fiercest of the kuo-toa blocks your path to the evacuation ships! Square off! | ||||
Nordom: |
Open Lord identified! Open Lord identified! | |||||
Havilar: |
I see her! There's Laeral! But I don't see Nat or Jenks! | |||||
Squiddly: |
Oh no! What if something happened? What if they got stuck up on a vine? What if they got kidnapped by space elves? | |||||
Celeste: |
Come on! We'll find out what's going on. | |||||
Laeral: |
Champions! Thank the gods you've made it back! I need your help! | |||||
Celeste: |
Anything, saer. Are Nat and Jenks safe? | |||||
Laeral: |
I sent them off on the first of the boats. I'll direct a sending to them, letting them know Squiddly is safe with you. But before you board a ship, I need these docks cleared. Something's driving the denizens of the Sea of Swords up the shore, and no one can get past. Those blights are pressing from inland. It's a mess! | |||||
Celeste: |
We'll get right on it! | |||||
| 36 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Press on! You've got blights coming from inland and kuo-toa from the harbor! | ||||
Havilar: |
Uh-oh, the brawny kuo-toa have come out! Look at those things -- do you think they train with weights? | |||||
Celeste: |
Oh no. Those aren't kuo-toa! Those are sahuagin! | |||||
Farideh: |
Didn't they...They attacked Waterdeep a long time ago. They ate people, didn't they? | |||||
Minsc: |
They still eat people! Some things never change! Except the crystal vines and possible space elves. Those are definitely new. | |||||
| 37 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Sahuagin follow the kuo-toa up from the water, hungry for flesh! And they don't care how many blights you've got to fight! | ||||
| 38 | Collect 25 Evacuation Packs | The ships aren't prepared for this many passengers! Grab evacuation packs to help supply the ships! | ||||
![]() Kraken Priest: |
Hear the wrath of the One Who Dreams of the World's End! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Elder evil. Called it. | |||||
![]() Kraken Priest: |
Hear the lamentations of the Many-Tentacled One! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Tell Xaryxis to leave off or we're going to do to it what we've been doing to its elves! | |||||
![]() Kraken Priest: |
Insolent mortal! The Maw of the Deep has no elves! The Maw of the Deep demands to know...what in the cold depths of the waters you land-walkers are doing up here? You are shaking EVERYTHING. Some great elder beings are trying to sleep! So you must be punished! | |||||
| 39 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The harbor spills out more vicious enemies. What's going on down there under the water? | ||||
Celeste: |
Wait -- is your god Xaryxis? Did it start this? | |||||
![]() Kraken Priest: |
My god is the One Who Dreams! The Many-Tentacled! The Maw of the Deep! I know no Xaryxis. | |||||
Havilar: |
Is your god an underwater butterfly maybe? | |||||
Farideh: |
Havi! | |||||
Havilar: |
What? I don't know what's down there? | |||||
![]() Kraken Priest: |
You mock the One Who Dreams of the World's End's demands! Prepare to die! | |||||
| 40 | Defeat the Kraken Priest | The kraken priest delivers the threats of its master, deep below the waves, but they're ready to fight you themselves! | ||||
Havilar: |
I don't think that guy knew Xaryxis. | |||||
Farideh: |
I don't think we know what Xaryxis is. | |||||
Boo: |
Squeak! | |||||
Minsc: |
Yes! At least the dock is cleared enough for people to reach these ships! | |||||
![]() Flapjack: |
Champions! Champions! Thank goodness I found you. Come on! Our ship's at the end of the dock there, but we've got to go! | |||||
![]() Flapjack: |
I wasn't sure you were going to make it! The vines are coming up closer and closer to the water, and then all those sea monsters started coming, and people were pouring onto the Moondancer, but I told Elaina we needed to wait until we HAD to go, because surely you were going to make it back. | |||||
Squiddly: |
It was a lot! There were wild animals and crazed mechanical constructs and space elves and I was a glaive fighter, but now I'm going to be a modron! | |||||
Nordom: |
This is an impossibility. You are chaos embodied. | |||||
![]() Flapjack: |
Did you figure out what these vines are? | |||||
Celeste: |
No, that will have to wait once we're to safety. Speaking of which, sahuagin coming our way! | |||||
| 41 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Waterdeep once fended off a massive attack from the sahuagin -- but not while defending against an onslaught of alien threats! | ||||
| 42 | Defeat 25 Enemies | You're getting down to the end of the docks, and still the sahuagin and blights attack! | ||||
![]() Elaina: |
Welcome aboard, Champions. Not a moment too soon. Hurry, come on, come on. We can't dawdle while those creatures are trying to climb over the gunwales. | |||||
Minsc: |
Do not worry! We're very skilled at stopping monsters! | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
Get those spears off of them! They're trying to attack the passengers! | |||||
Squiddly: |
Hey if I can get a sahuagin spear, that could be like a glaive OR a crossbow bolt if I fling it! | |||||
| 43 | Collect 25 Sahuagin Spears | Defend the Moondancer as Flapjack and Elaina take her out to sea -- get those sahuagins' spears! | ||||
![]() Elaina: |
Well done! Keep the deck clear though as we set off! Flapjack! Get to the helm and prepare to launch the ship. | |||||
![]() Flapjack: |
Aye-aye! | |||||
Havilar: |
Aren't we already leaving the dock? | |||||
Farideh: |
They're probably boat terms. 'Launch' is probably something to do with the sails. | |||||
Havilar: |
Oh, fair. I'll stick to what I know best. Choppin' stuff! | |||||
| 44 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The threat from the sea won't stop! Keep those monsters off the boat! That includes those seagulls! | ||||
![]() Elaina: |
Whoa! What was that? The whole ship jumped! | |||||
Squiddly: |
Something's coming up out of the water. | |||||
Minsc: |
More sahuagin? More kuo-toa? | |||||
Squiddly: |
SEA elves? | |||||
Farideh: |
It's a kraken! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
I think we're about to become acquainted with the One Who Dreams of the World's End, and it does NOT look happy to be woken up! | |||||
| 45 | Defeat the Kraken | The kraken heaves itself up from the seafloor to attack the Moondancer! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
We're free of the kraken! Full speed! | |||||
Havilar: |
Yeah! Launch the ship! Did I do that right? | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
Oddly...yes! Flapjack! Launch the ship and take us up! | |||||
Squiddly: |
THE BOAT CAN FLY! | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
No, the SHIP can fly. | |||||
Celeste: |
Oh my stars! | |||||
Farideh: |
No, no, no, no! Down, down, down! | |||||
Havilar: |
Fari, let go! I know you hate flying, but it's so beautiful! Just look! We're so high! You can see all of Waterdeep! And...a lot of crystalline vines, that is just a lot of vines all over. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
And a lot of sahuagin -- we've got hangers on! | |||||
| 46 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Whoa! You're not on the water anymore! But you've still got sahuagin along for the ride -- fight them off! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
Where are you taking this thing, Captain Sartell? | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
To safety. Relative safety. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
I don't like the sound of that. | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
Look down. Waterdeep's not the only place those vines are coming up. | |||||
Celeste: |
Oh...oh my. They're all up and down the Sword Coast. And some of them are breaking through the clouds! | |||||
Squiddly: |
Look! Some are coming out of the sea! They're everywhere! | |||||
| 47 | Defeat 25 Enemies | A flying ship? Where are we headed? Wherever it is, we don't want these sahuagin with us! | ||||
![]() Elaina: |
All right -- look alive, Champions, because I need some help. I don't have a full crew, but with this many passengers on board, I can't run up and down the deck. I need your help. | |||||
Celeste: |
What do you need us to do? | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
The energy transfer conduits get stuck when we change pressure. They need to be disconnected quickly -- but the only way to do that is to really hammer on them. | |||||
Celeste: |
...you want us to beat on those magical tubes? | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
Basically! Really knock 'em loose. Otherwise Flapjack might lose control of the ship before we break free of the atmosphere. | |||||
| 48 | Defeat 1 Work the Ship | Elaina needs your help to work the ship! It's a crash course in sailing...an air ship? You're getting very high up... | ||||
Minsc: |
Ha! Tubes defeated! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Wait a minute...did she say 'break free of the atmosphere'? | |||||
Farideh: |
Are we...how are we...? | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
Welcome to Wildspace, Champions. Is it your first time? | |||||
Celeste: |
I didn't even know something like this was possible. We're...we're right out among the stars. | |||||
Squiddly: |
We're in SPACE...Wildspace... | |||||
Havilar: |
And there's a space eel thing! | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
Gray scavvers! They're looking for an easy snack! Don't let them get too close! | |||||
| 49 | Defeat 25 Enemies | You're not on Toril anymore. And Wildspace welcomes you with a gray scavver attack! | ||||
Squiddly: |
So...you're from Wildspace? | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
I'm from a place called the Rock of Bral. But I sail Wildspace. I'm glad Flapjack and I decided to visit your planet when we did! I don't know what's happening with those vines, but it's nothing good. | |||||
Squiddly: |
Wait a minute -- do you know any space elves? | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
I've met astral elves, although they're mostly trouble. Like that assassin that went after your Open Lord. | |||||
Celeste: |
Do you think the astral elves are connected to the vines? | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
I have no idea. I've met plenty of astral elves I'd happily leave on a space clown system, if you know what I mean, but I don't know any that like to plant terrifying gardens on new planets. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
So where exactly are you taking us? | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
If you want my advice? Head to the Rock of Bral. It's a crossroads -- if those vines aren't anything you've seen before, then I think there's a chance those astral elves are connected, which means someone on the Rock might know more about it. And I don't think your planet's going to survive without uprooting those vines. | |||||
Havilar: |
Wait, our whole planet? We need that! | |||||
Farideh: |
How...how long do we have? | |||||
![]() Elaina: |
Really, I don't know. It'll take a couple of days to get to the Rock of Bral. | |||||
Minsc: |
How long until that very large scavver reaches us? I am thinking three seconds. | |||||
| 50 | Defeat the Night Scavver | A bold night scavver invades the Moondancer's air and attacks you with long sharp teeth! Defend the ship! | ||||
Celeste: |
Farideh, Havilar, will you sit with Squiddly? We're going to go check on the other refugees that boarded the ship. | |||||
Squiddly: |
Do you think...Do you think Nat and Jenks are all right? | |||||
Farideh: |
I'm sure they're very worried about you, but I think all three of you are safe. | |||||
Squiddly: |
For now...But we'll fix it, right? We'll be the heroes and we'll find the solution and fix it. And everything will be all right. | |||||
Farideh: |
We'll do everything we can. And...you'll have a very exciting story to tell them when we...What was that? Did you hear that thumping? Almost like someone knocking into a wall? | |||||
Havilar: |
Sounded like someone clunking around in the cargo hold. But why would anyone hide down there? Elaina let all these people on already. Unless...unless someone's on this ship who isn't supposed to be. | |||||
