Transcript[]
| Enter the forests of Thither and continue to unravel the mysteries of Prismeer. | ||||||
| Area | Goal | Quests & Cinematics | ||||
Celeste: |
"My! That landing was... something. Tuck the balloon behind those trees, everyone, and let's get our bearings." | |||||
Blooshi: |
"Thanks again for letting me come with you. I'm liking this 'champion' thing. Are we in a... tree... city? What is this?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Oh, that's right. Downfall's all swamp. This is a forest... at least, it looks like a forest. It feels very wrong." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Sounds about right fer a fey domain controlled by a wicked hag. Where do we go ta find this 'Skabatha Nightshade' so we can demand ta know where Squiddly and Jenks have gone and kick her off tha throne?" | |||||
Blooshi: |
"Are you asking me? I have no idea. I've never left Hither. I'd say... let's go... ooh, away from those angry... are they really big tailless rats?" | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Those are bears, lass! Watch their claws!" | |||||
| 1 | Defeat 25 Bears | This forest feels wrong somehow... and those bears don't want you here! Fight them off! | ||||
Nayeli: |
"The forest seems angry. More dangerous than I would expect." | |||||
Minsc: |
"Evil! It seems evil. Let's all just say it. Evil." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Come on. Let's get moving. Keep your wits about you." | |||||
| 2 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The animals of Thither seem to be spoiling for a fight -- better give them what they want! | ||||
Nat: |
"[signs] All these trees have wanted posters on them. And look at all the mushrooms! Pretty!" | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Dinnae touch them, lass! They might be poisonous!" | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] The raccoons seem fine." | |||||
Celeste: |
"If I'm not mistaken, this variety is useful in several rituals --" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Of course it is." | |||||
Celeste: |
"-- AND it can be eaten although it doesn't taste very good. We haven't got much in the way of supplies. Let's get what we can, and watch out for the raccoons!" | |||||
| 3 | Collect 25 Feywild Fungi | This fungi might come in handy later! Collect some for Celeste! | ||||
| 4 | Defeat 25 Enemies | If these animals are any indication, Thither is likely to be a vicious sort of domain! Push them back! | ||||
Ghost Blooshi: |
"All right, this is what I know about Thither and Skabatha. One, there's a tree city. Two, they sometimes call Skabatha 'Granny Nightshade.' Three, she rides a flying rocking horse when she comes to visit her sister. That's... about it. Mostly Downfall concerns itself with Downfall." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Yes, biweekly coups will do that." | |||||
Celeste: |
"If we keep pushing through this forest, surely we'll come to the edge." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Or we'll come to an even bigger bear! Look out!" | |||||
| 5 | Defeat the Albino Bear | An enormous albino bear lumbers out of the woods! Don't let it claw you! | ||||
Nayeli: |
"There's a trail between these trees! Come on." | |||||
Minsc: |
"Wait! What's that over there? There's a shadow." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"I don't see anything... Just trees." | |||||
Minsc: |
"It was a person, just over there. Past the wild animals snarling in those bushes!" | |||||
Nayeli: |
"This forest is certainly angry! Weapons up!" | |||||
| 6 | Defeat 25 Enemies | There's something in those shadows -- but you can't investigate it with these animals attacking! Clear the path! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
"If all Thither has to throw at us are woodland creatures, we might make it out all right." | |||||
Minsc: |
"Woodland creatures AND a mysterious shadow! Come on!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Oh no! Those bushes are full of boggles! Those are the creatures that accompanied Skabatha's thief in the carnival! Everyone stick close to Nat!" | |||||
| 7 | Defeat 25 Boggles | Boggles! Skabatha's minions flood the path! Don't let them get their greasy hands on you! | ||||
Sowpig: |
"Not last night but the night before, ninety-four Champions knocking at my door. I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said: Give us back the kids that you led away! I... said... NAY! Heeheehee! Do you like my rhyme?" | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] You took Squiddly and Jenks? Give them back!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Tell us where the children are!" | |||||
Sowpig: |
"Where's the challenge in that? I thought you were heroes. Are you just going to stand there and shout at me?" | |||||
| 8 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The shadow was Sowpig! But she's on the other side of that rotting log! Break through and chase her down! | ||||
Minsc: |
"Quickly! After her!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Wait! It might be a trap! Minsc!" | |||||
Ellywick: |
"Fairy rings! These are fey crossings that let you travel into, out of, and through the Feywild. But... they've been corrupted. Watch out -- I don't know what they'll do if you touch them." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Maybe we can test 'em by throwin' in those goblins and boggles!" | |||||
| 9 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Goblins and boggles leap out of the forest! Drive them back! | ||||
Celeste: |
"There's Sowpig! Thief! We have you cornered." | |||||
Sowpig: |
"Do you? Or do I have you right where you're supposed to be?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"[sigh] I thought it might be a trap." | |||||
Sowpig: |
"Too late! Time to die, Champions!" | |||||
| 10 | Defeat Sowpig | Sowpig is the one who lured Squiddly and Jenks here -- this thief must pay! | ||||
Minsc: |
"Ha! Take that evil!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Minsc, hold still! Whatever trap Sowpig set might still be waiting." | |||||
Awakened Toadstool: |
"Phhhbt! That's stupid! You're stupid!" | |||||
Minsc: |
"I am not stupid! I am heroic! You're stupid!" | |||||
Awakened Toadstool: |
"All I hear is PHBBT! PHBBT! PHBBT!" | |||||
Minsc: |
"Is this the trap?" | |||||
Awakened Toadstool: |
"'Ooh, ohh is THIS the TRAP?' No, Baldie, it's your BUTT!" | |||||
Blooshi: |
"HAHAHAHAH!" | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] It said butt!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"What rude little mushrooms!" | |||||
Awakened Toadstool: |
"Your face is a rude little mushroom! PHBBBT!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"That's it! Chop them down!" | |||||
| 11 | Defeat 25 Awakened Toadstools | How rude! These awakened toadstools don't want you to go on! Uproot the little monsters! | ||||
| 12 | Defeat 25 Enemies | More goblins invade these strange fairy rings! Why don't the toadstools pick on them? You'll have to pick on both! | ||||
Nat: |
"[signs] There's more of those wanted posters on the trees! They're all of kids!" | |||||
Bruenor: |
"'Will o' tha Feywild.' That's a long list o' crimes fer a small boy!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"The posters say different things. Quick, grab them and let's see what we can learn!" | |||||
Awakened Toadstool: |
"PHBBT! PHBBT! PHBBT!" | |||||
| 13 | Collect 25 Wanted Posters | Who are all these wanted posters for? Gather them up and figure out what's going on! | ||||
Celeste: |
"This poster says 'Bring me this imp alive and unharmed and I'll bury you up to your neck in silver.'" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Sounds like a good deal. This one says 'Bring this wisp of a thief to me alive and unharmed, and I'll ensure that no sword can ever break your skin.' You know, given her reputation, this Granny Nightshade seems like a generous sort. She doesn't want to kill or hurt this kid, and the rewards are something else." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"You're choosing to trust a hag's word. That's a new depth of evil, even for you." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"It's not evil, it's just business!" | |||||
| 14 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The boggles are back and those goblins have spears! Don't let them get the advantage! | ||||
Celeste: |
"Keep staying out of the fairy rings!" | |||||
Awakened Toadstool: |
"This is you: 'Durrr! Keep staying out of the fairy rings! I'm a hero!' PHBBBBT!" | |||||
Skabatha: |
"Fairy rings aren't going to do much unless you activate them. Even my funny little babies here can't open the path on their own -- especially when you've so rudely uprooted them. And after you destroyed Sowpig -- do you know how long it will take me to reassemble her? Shameful, just shameful." | |||||
Blooshi: |
"Skabatha!" | |||||
Minsc: |
"Ah! So it was a trap!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Good thing we were ready for it! Champions, form up!" | |||||
| 15 | Defeat Skabatha | Granny Nightshade herself has come to greet you. Well, this IS what you came to do, isn't it? | ||||
Skabatha: |
"Well, that was a nice bit of exercise. You've certainly proven your point -- and your value. You might be just what I need." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"We'll never aid you!" | |||||
Skabatha: |
"No? Even when I've done you no harm? You're the ones who attacked me, remember. Kicked up my awakened toadstools for being funny, and stirred up my forest creatures. And poor Sowpig! She'll be sore for weeks after I bring her back." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Your pet thief stole our friends." | |||||
Skabatha: |
"And that's what you really want, isn't it? None of this Zybilna nonsense. That's all a side quest when you get down to it. You want your kids, I can tell you where they are. But what I need in return is for you to fetch me Will of the Feywild." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"You want us to sacrifice a child in order for you to correct your own crimes." | |||||
Skabatha: |
"My crimes? You think poor, battered Sowpig has no will of her own? You think your children have no wills of their own? I'm offering to fix your problem in return for you tracking down a very slippery criminal. I've never harmed a child--ask around." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Where can we find this Will of the Feywild?" | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Jarlaxle, you wouldn't!" | |||||
Skabatha: |
"He would if he's a smart man. Head north from here -- little sneakthief hangs around with some urchins and a treant. You want to take those kids with you, that's no skin off my nose, but bring Will to me in Loomlurch, and I'll tell you how to find the ones you came in looking for." | |||||
Awakened Toadstool: |
"All done! Time to go! PHBBT! PHBBT!" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Where is Loom... Annnnd she's gone. Fabulous. Well surely SOMEBODY in this nightmare forest knows where its queen lives. Maybe one of these nasty little toadstools? Stop biting, you little... Why are you glaring at me like that, Nayeli?" | |||||
| 16 | Defeat 25 Awakened Toadstools | You're reeling from the hag's offer, but the toadstools want you gone! Dice them up! | ||||
Nayeli: |
"I can't believe you just agreed to help the hag capture a little boy." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"To be fair, I didn't agree to anything. I merely heard her terms: Find this kid -- who is a criminal, recall -- and trade him for Squiddly and Jenks. Now I think the smart thing to do would be to find Will of the Feywild and get his side of the story. Maybe he can make us a better offer." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"We can't trust the hag." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"I think our adventures thus far have shown us that we don't have any idea WHO we can trust until we hear more. Come on -- she said he was north of here." | |||||
| 17 | Defeat 25 Enemies | If you're going to get Squiddly and Jenks back, you'll have to get moving! Don't let these raccoons and toadstools slow you down! | ||||
Nat: |
"[signs] So hungry. Are there more mushrooms?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"We're running low. Most of the foragable we've seen has been poisonous or self-aware." | |||||
Campestri: |
"La, la, la, la, la!" | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] Hey! One of those talking mushrooms! Except cute?" | |||||
Blooshi: |
"Ugh, no. That's a campestri. They're annoying, all cute and singing and bouncing around. They leak over from Thither sometimes. Have you guys seriously never seen a -- OH MY MURKY WET FROG GOD WHAT IS THAT? What is that creepy thing chasing them? It looks like a little naked harengon!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"... That's a rabbit. And probably a good supper for us. Help me hunt some." | |||||
| 18 | Collect 25 Rabbit Carcasses | You're low on supplies. Some rabbit meat would tide you over! Collect those carcasses! | ||||
Blooshi: |
"You guys just have tiny naked harengon that can't talk, just running around in your forests and fields...and you also EAT them? Yorven are you all right with this?" | |||||
Yorven: |
"That's not a harengon. I don't see the problem. They look plumper than the Shadowfell variety, and sustenance is necessary for survival." | |||||
Blooshi: |
"WILD. Your plane is so bizarre." | |||||
Campestri: |
"Thank you! Thank you for saving us! Do you want to find more of the rabbits?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Yes please!" | |||||
Campestri: |
"This way! This way! La, la, la!" | |||||
| 19 | Defeat 25 Enemies | More rabbits flood the path, chased by still more goblins! Thin them out! | ||||
Celeste: |
"I think that's enough. We shouldn't hunt more than we can carry." | |||||
Minsc: |
"I can carry at least fifty more rabbits! Or one rabbit that is fifty times larger! What's that rustling in the bushes?" | |||||
Boo: |
"Squeak!" | |||||
Minsc: |
"I think that is only fifteen or twenty times larger, Boo. Do not exaggerate!" | |||||
| 20 | Defeat the Vicious Rabbit | This vicious rabbit would rather hunt you! Get ready to battle! | ||||
Bruenor: |
"What's that? Sounds like fightin'! Sounds like GOBLINS fightin'!" | |||||
Winterbow: |
"Help! Help! Back you ruffians! Have you no respect? Why if my herd were here, we'd trample you into goblin mud!" | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Called it! Come on, ye lot! Ta arms!" | |||||
| 21 | Defeat 25 Goblins | Take care of those goblins hassling the centaur! | ||||
Winterbow: |
"Thank you. Thank you so very much, my good heroes." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Not a problem. We're glad we were near." | |||||
Winterbow: |
"What is the world coming to when an old man can't trot through the forest without being beset? I ask you! [sigh] I am Winterbow, last of my herd. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Perfect. How can we find Will of the Feywild?" | |||||
Winterbow: |
"... Will of the Feywild. Do you work for Granny Nightshade then, tracking down her greatest point of resistance?" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Depends. Do you have a better offer?" | |||||
Nayeli: |
"We're trying to get information. Two children of our acquaintance were stolen from our world and transported by the magic of this place Skabatha offered us information about where they are in exchange for Will of the Feywild. We want to warn him and see if he can help us." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"SOME OF US want to do that. Some of us see a good deal when it's in front of us." | |||||
Winterbow: |
"Trading with the hags of the Hourglass Coven is a wicked act. Do you see what Skabatha has done to this place? Once, this part of Prismeer was a vibrant forest. Once my herd roamed its paths and clearings. Then the mists closed in and everything was distorted. Now the forest itself attacks you." | |||||
| 22 | Defeat 25 Enemies | More ferocious woodland creatures spill out of the woods, driven mad by Skabatha's foul magic! | ||||
Winterbow: |
"Your missing friends are only a piece of the bigger picture. If you save them and cannot defeat the Hourglass Coven, there will only be more children lured to Hither, Thither, and Yon -- more dark magic concocted by the hags." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"We need to learn more about Skabatha -- what are her weaknesses? What are her defenses?" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"What are her enemies offering us in return?" | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Jarlaxle!" | |||||
Winterbow: |
"You should go and speak with Lamorna, the unicorn that guards Wayward Pool. She was a great ally of Zybilna's and knows more of Skabatha's villainy than most in Thither. But be aware: to approach the pool you must confound its protections. You must look like... a unicorn." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"No. No, no, no. Hard pass." | |||||
Celeste: |
"... That is a peculiar requirement." | |||||
Winterbow: |
"Unicorns can be peculiar creatures. If you cannot procure a unicorn costume or suitable illusion magic, a horn or hornlike decoration will satisfy the requirements." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Maybe... there's another way around the restrictions. Those mushrooms --" | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Yes, grab them. I don't care how you use them, I would prefer that to wearing a silly horn." | |||||
| 23 | Collect 25 Feywild Fungi | The fungi of the Feywild is imbued with powerful magics. Get some for Celeste! | ||||
| 24 | Defeat 25 Enemies | These goblins seem to enjoy the animals' frenzy! They're making it worse! Fight to safety! | ||||
| 25 | Defeat the Goblin Butcher | This goblin seems ready to chop you to pieces -- chop him up first! | ||||
Winterbow: |
"That's all of them it seems. I will bide my time here. You should head north to find Wayward Pool and Lamorna. Good luck!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Thank you for all your help! Come on everyone." | |||||
| 26 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The forests of Thither are darker and more rotten than the forests you're used to. There's also many more goblins! | ||||
Nayeli: |
"What kind of spell requires you to wear a silly costume in order to bypass it? I think that centaur was trying to trick us into looking like fools." | |||||
Celeste: |
"No, it can happen. Probably it's a loophole--the spell was structured to only allow unicorns, but it tests based on whether you have a horn. We'll just find something hornlike and wear it for an hour. It's not a problem." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Most of what you just said is a problem." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Ah, stow yer pride, Nayeli. 'Tisn't a problem if we all look fools together. What's a problem are these boggles!" | |||||
| 27 | Defeat 25 Boggles | Boggles arise from feelings of loneliness -- there must be a lot of lonesome people in Thither! | ||||
Minsc: |
"Look! Sticks which look like horns! Or perhaps horns that look like sticks?" | |||||
Boo: |
"Squeak!" | |||||
Minsc: |
"You're right -- either way, they're what we need!" | |||||
| 28 | Collect 25 Fake Unicorn Horns | You'll need these horns to approach the lake. Gather as many as you can! | ||||
Nat: |
"[signs] Even the bushes here are mean!" | |||||
Minsc: |
"Those are awakened bushes! They are alive! Which means that, yes, they have the capacity to be very bad indeed!" | |||||
Dryad: |
"Who dares trespass in my grove?" | |||||
Minsc: |
"Ah! A dryad! I am very sorry, you will have to wait, because I am busy helping my friends here with heroic deeds." | |||||
Dryad: |
"I will snap your bones like twigs." | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] I think the tree lady ALSO has the capacity to be very bad." | |||||
| 29 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Even the bushes look aggressive -- oh wait! Those are awakened bushes! Cut them down to size! | ||||
Dryad: |
"Foolish heroes! There is no sanctuary here!" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"We're leaving! We're leaving!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"This must be the effects of Skabatha's magic. She's cursed the dryad and her grove." | |||||
Dryad: |
"You'll go nowhere but to your grave, you minions of the hag!" | |||||
| 30 | Defeat the Dryad | Thither has warped the dryad's nature. She's furious and ready to crush you! | ||||
Nayeli: |
"Do you still think it's no concern to ally with Skabatha, Jarlaxle? She warped that dryad into something evil." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"And she can get Squiddly and Jenks back for us -- I think that's more important. But then I'm willing to go the extra distance for them. You don't even want to put on a unicorn horn." | |||||
| 31 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The awakened shrubs and boggles follow you through the forest! Throw them off! | ||||
Nat: |
"[signs] Look! A goat!" | |||||
Bruenor: |
"That is a... very angry lookin' goat. An intelligent and angry lookin' goat." | |||||
Celeste: |
"That might not be a goat. But it's charging!" | |||||
| 32 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Those goats seem agitated. Maybe it's the boggles? Fight them off! | ||||
Celeste: |
"Boggles and goats? They're all arranged around that tree." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Oh no... are those pixies? Is that... That can't be." | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"Are you kidding me?" | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"Look, I don't have time to explain to you what a bunch of dummies you are and how you smell terrible. I'm in the middle of a small crisis -- get BACK! Or I'll turn you into something WORSE!" | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Maybe we leave her alone and let them handle this. I dinnae think any o' us likes dealin' with that pixie leader." | |||||
Celeste: |
"I feel a little guilty not helping. She seems a bit overwhelmed." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Good. If she's busy she can't bother us. And she didn't ask for help." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Let's just... Look, there's berries on those bushes we could use for our stores. We'll just gather those, and if we happen to take care of some of these goats, she can't be mad about that, right?" | |||||
| 33 | Collect 25 Berries | Your supplies are running short! Gather those berries up to sustain you! | ||||
Bruenor: |
"Moradin's hairy rump! That's no goat!" | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] It's an angry little gnome-man!" | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"It's a redcap and he's a JERK! They're all jerks! So I turned 'em into goats. But the spell ran out and they're still JERKS! Stop chopping my tree, you jerks!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"All right, she can't get mad if we help now." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"I will take that bet." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Just take care of the redcaps." | |||||
| 34 | Defeat 25 Madcaps | The goats were redcaps all along! And they're very angry about the pixies' trick! Chop them down! | ||||
Bruenor: |
"That one's still got a spell on. What's takin' it so long ta drop?" | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"Oh that one's just a goat. A really angry goat. He's still upset about when I magicked a bunch of spoons and tulips to stick to his horns. He looked hilarious! And uncomfortable! But that was hours ago, buddy! Get over it!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Um, that seems like it's getting him angrier." | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"What's he going to do? Charge at you and hit you with those big horns? Bet you wish the spoons had stayed on, huh, buddy? Woulda made a bigger racket when you tossed the dwarf into the tree!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Bruenor, look out!" | |||||
| 35 | Defeat the Angry Goat | Oh no, that goat was real! He doesn't like ANY of this! Time for a goat rodeo! | ||||
Celeste: |
"Right, well, we'll be going now." | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"What's your rush? Are you suddenly too good to fight goats and redcaps?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"No, no, nothing like that. We just have to get to --" | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"Oh I get it, when you can flex your hero skills, we're besties, but the moment I want to talk about my new business selling replica unicorn horns, where YOU can also make money selling to your friends and family through fun parties, you have somewhere to be. Pixies! Attack!" | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] You called it, Jarlaxle." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"I always call it. Get behind Minsc, Nat." | |||||
| 36 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Helping pixies is complicated! Time to rumble with the redcaps AND the pixies! | ||||
| 37 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Redcaps are subtle as a thrown battleaxe. Pixies aren't much better! Make your point aggressively! | ||||
Bruenor: |
"Oi, ya'd think that tha redcaps would fight tha pixies with us. Or tha pixies tha redcaps." | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"No, we took a vote. We all dislike you the most." | |||||
Minsc: |
"Seize the redcaps' weapons. That will slow them down!" | |||||
| 38 | Collect 25 Redcap Weapons | Those redcaps can't attack without their weapons! Snatch them up! | ||||
Pixie Leader: |
"What are you even doing here? Loomlurch is way over there! You're supposed to be fighting Skabatha I thought -- although if you fight her like you fight shrubs, I think she shouldn't worry about keeping her schedule open, just saying." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Apparently we're considering working with her." | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"You're WHAT? I thought you were heroes!" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Some of us prefer 'creative opportunists'!" | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"I don't know what to say. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. No wait, what's it called when you're really big disappointed, so disappointed you could wring someone's neck? Is that one angry? I think I'm angry! Shrubs! Hit them where it hurts!" | |||||
| 39 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The pixies don't appreciate your interference -- of course. Swat them as they attack! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
"We're not working for Skabatha! We don't 'work' for anyone but ourselves! Skabatha offered us a trade to save Squiddly and Jenks and we're looking into it." | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"Well that sure sounds like you're doing what she wants. Sounds like 'hey we're working for the hag now.' Did you tell her to stuff it? Did you try to fight her? Hmm?" | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Thank you. I never thought we'd agree with each other, but that is exactly what I've been saying." | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"I'm so glad! It's nice to have like-minded friends! Now, since you agree with me, you'll agree it's time for my bear to attack." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"What? No!" | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"NO QUARTER FOR THE HAG'S MINIONS!" | |||||
| 40 | Defeat the Pixie Leader | How many times have you fought the pixie's leader now? It feels both uncountable and brand new. You're starting to wonder if you're friends or nemeses... Oh well! Time to fight! | ||||
| 41 | Defeat 25 Madcaps | Redcaps from the forest chase you down the path! Cut them off! | ||||
Celeste: |
"We need to sort this out. Nayeli, I completely agree with you that we shouldn't help Skabatha cause any harm. But we are well out of our depths in this place, and we need more information. If this turns out to be something we would do anyway and it leads to Squiddly and Jenks --" | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Or it leads to giving Skabatha Nightshade more power." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Then we won't do it. And Jarlaxle --" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"What? Stop being the voice of reason?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Stop antagonizing... everybody! I know you're upset about Squiddly. We're going to find him. And if this is how we find him, then wonderful, but if it isn't, we're still gathering information. Got it? Good. Now everyone put on your unicorn horns and... I guess act unicornish so we can thwart this spell." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Let's hold off until these goblins are dealt with." | |||||
| 42 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Those goblins are back and causing chaos! Get rid of them! | ||||
Minsc: |
"Just look at that lake! Beautiful water -- as lovely as the lakes of Rashemen." | |||||
Celeste: |
"And absolutely magical. The waters from a unicorn's pool have many healing properties." | |||||
Minsc: |
"Also very good when you're thirsty." | |||||
Boo: |
"Squeak!" | |||||
Minsc: |
"The goblins affect the taste less than you think, actually! But you're right, we should still deal with them." | |||||
| 43 | Collect 25 Vials of Lake Water | The unicorn's pool has magical properties -- some vials of lake water could prove handy! | ||||
Nayeli: |
"Those goblins... those are Batiri goblins. From Chult!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"How did they get here?" | |||||
Blooshi: |
"Um, duh? They got taken? That's how most of the things from your world end up over here -- ESPECIALLY Thither, I hear. Like did you think those weird... tiny naked harengon just whipped up a portal without thumbs? I don't think so. Anyway, they seem to have taken to Thither. I figured that was just how goblins were over here." | |||||
| 44 | Defeat 25 Batiri Goblins | The goblins are running amok up and down the shore! You'll never find out what you need to know if you can't shut them down! | ||||
Celeste: |
"Keep an eye out for the unicorn. These goblins are crowding the shore." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Oh no. They're not crowding." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"They're stackin'!" | |||||
| 45 | Defeat the Batiri Goblin Stack | The Batiri are known for their strong sense of direction, their terrifying 'battle stacks,' and their preference for eating their defeated opponents! Knock that battle stack down! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Why are there so many goblins?" | |||||
Lamorna: |
"My mate found them amusing. They are funny little creatures. But I find with Elidon missing, they don't amuse me. I like your horns. You're some of the strangest unicorns I've ever seen though." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Oh! Are you Lamorna of Wayward Pool? We've been looking for you." | |||||
Lamorna: |
"Many seek me. What is it you would ask?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"We're trying to save some friends of ours, but we've discovered what happened to Prismeer -- we'd like to help you. We've already battled with Bavlorna Blightstraw and helped liberate Hither. We need to know what must be done to defeat Skabatha." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Preferably after she tells us where the kids are." | |||||
Lamorna: |
"I'm sorry the what? I can't hear you over the goblins." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"The kids! The kids we're looking for -- oh forget it, I'll just make the goblins quieter." | |||||
| 46 | Defeat 25 Goblins | Thither seems to be energizing for these goblins, wherever they've come from! Wear them down! | ||||
Lamorna: |
"Thank you. That is much better. Now if you seek to defeat Skabatha Nightshade, to truly achieve such a feat, you must restore Zybilna. The Hourglass Coven has imprisoned her within her castle, the Palace of Heart's Desire." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Where is that?" | |||||
Lamorna: |
"At the very heart of Prismeer. You must journey through the hags' kingdoms to reach it, and then you will need to break the spell. If only Elidon were with me still, he could assist you. I don't think your horns are powerful enough. No offense. I'm sure you'll grow into them." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Right... So we need to find Elidon. Where did he go?" | |||||
Zarak: |
"Ha! In the name of the League of Malevolence, I stab at thee, unicorn! Gimme that horn!" | |||||
| 47 | Defeat 25 Goblins | An assassin! But those goblins are blocking your way to him! Carve a path! | ||||
Celeste: |
"Lamorna! She vanished!" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"She teleported out of reach! She's up on that islet!" | |||||
Zarak: |
"I can reach her. I'm an excellent assassin! Who said otherwise? Huh?" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"You're flinging daggers all over the beach." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Oh no those goblins are grabbing them! Quick! Get them back!" | |||||
| 48 | Collect 25 Daggers | This Zarak doesn't have the best aim. Grab his daggers before the goblins do! | ||||
| 49 | Defeat 25 Goblins | More goblins target you -- are they with the League of Malevolence as well? | ||||
Zarak: |
"Bah! That was my unicorn! I almost had it! Kelek's going to be so mad. He needs that horn to unfreeze Ringlerun and get his magic staff! Do you heroes even get what you're messing up?" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Not even a little. Who is the League of Malevolence?" | |||||
Blooshi: |
"Are you hiring? Are you interested in a deep but also very edgy undead warlock with a chill vibe?" | |||||
Minsc: |
"Shush, you are a hero now. Stop trying to bond with the assassin." | |||||
Zarak: |
"There's a bunch of people frozen in that Palace the unicorn was talking about, and we're going to steal the staff from one of them, and the League of Malevolence are the ones who are going to mess you up, and by League of Malevolence I mean me! Zarak! Best assassin!" | |||||
| 50 | Defeat Zarak | Zarak makes his move against you, daggers flashing! Defend yourselves! | ||||
Nat: |
"[signs] Minsc? Does anything make sense in this place?" | |||||
Minsc: |
"Nothing really makes sense anywhere. This is something you will learn as you get older. Or travel to more planes. Or be frozen in time." | |||||
Lamorna: |
"You saved me! You are truly brave and heroic unicorns!" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Yes. Yes we are... Nayeli straighten your horn." | |||||
Lamorna: |
"If any can defeat the Hourglass Coven, I believe it will be you. Your quest to find Will of the Feywild will tell you much more about Skabatha herself. But please as you travel, look for Elidon. I know he is alive and held by the hags, and I cannot search for him without abandoning the pool." | |||||
Celeste: |
"We'll do our best. He sounds like an ally we could definitely use as we approach the Palace of Heart's Desire." | |||||
