Transcript

The Fall of Ythryn
Destroy the Ythryn Mythalar, using whatever means necessary.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Vellynne:	With Iriolarthas destroyed, I can attune to the mythallar safely. We should hurry though -- Avarice might have noticed the demilich's death.
Celeste:	Do you need to attune to the mythallar in order to destroy it? Our plan was to destroy it.
Vellynne:	We ought to ascertain what state it's in. Perhaps it can't be destroyed!
Celeste:	Plenty of mythallars have been destroyed. They were crushed in the fall of Netheril, overloaded by surges in the Weave, there's even a record of one being destroyed by someone casting disintegrate on a mythallar. They're powerful, but fragile.
Vellynne:	Well for safety's sake we should see what we're dealing with. Surely you can agree with that!
Jarlaxle:	We can argue about the mythallar once we've escaped the tower!
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		Iriolarthas is defeated, but his creations won't let you leave without a fight!
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		Without their master, the flesh golems go berserk! Carve a path to the exit!
Celeste:	Those nothics are fleeing with Iriolarthas's spell scrolls! We can't let that information escape the glacier!
3	Collect 25 Scrolls		Iriolarthas's spells will be dangerous in the wrong hands -- grab them from those nothics!
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		Those nothics want to pull secrets from your mind and spells from your books! Battle past them!
Hypnos Magen:	Halt! You murderers of Iriolarthas! You defilers of the Spire!
Bruenor:	Oi, me head! How's a voice so loud when tisn't even a voice?
Celeste:	We gave him a chance to release the mythallar! But he preferred to fight.
Hypnos Magen:	You will find that position a common one in this place. You will not leave the Spire alive.
5	Defeat the Hypnos Magen		Oh no, another hypnos magen! The Chamber of the Ebon Star will be your tomb if you can't defeat them!
Jarlaxle:	We're going to have to fight a lot more of Iriolarthas's creations to get to the mythallar. They seem to be getting frenzied in the wake of their master's death.
Xerophon:	In addition to Ythryn's other dangerous inhabitants. I am glad I travel with you Champions. The mythallar is at the base of the spire. I hope you have a plan for dealing with it.
Nayeli:	I'm more worried about a plan for what to do when Vellynne chooses her ambition over us.
Jarlaxle:	It's called 'a dagger to the kidneys'...
Nayeli:	Watching gods, we can't take you anywhere, can we?
Aspix:	Shoo! Shoo! You grabby-grabby spells! Aspix has no time for you!
Celeste:	This is an alarming number of living spells. What could the wizards have done with them all?
Vellynne:	There is a point in a wizard's quest for knowledge where need is less reason than possibility.
Aspix:	Yes! The could-not-should! As in Iriolarthas COULD make uncountable living Bigby's hands, but SHOULD he have? Aspix is thinking no.
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		The spells that remain from Iriolarthas's casting have taken on a life of their own! Don't let them grab you!
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		Powerful magics made these magen and living spells -- are you powerful enough to take them apart?
Celeste:	These scrolls might have something powerful enough to destroy the mythallar.
Vellynne:	I thought they were fragile, and destroying it was a simple thing. A little disintegrate and we're on our way.
Celeste:	They are. But from the sound of things, we may need a secondary plan if certain parties aren't willing to help.
8	Collect 25 Scrolls		Scrolls with the power to destroy the mythallar would be very useful! See what you can find!
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		More magen and living spells appear, pushing you back toward the Spire's heart! Defeat them and head for the door!
Vellynne:	All I am suggesting is that we should attune to the mythallar to assess its capabilities! It's rumored to control the weather -- wouldn't that benefit all of Icewind Dale?
Celeste:	What would benefit Icewind Dale is letting it get back to its natural climate. Which should be possible now that we've defeated Auril.
Nayeli:	Who, let it be known, also thought controlling the weather of Icewind Dale was a good idea.
Vellynne:	How dare you! Without my assistance, you would still be stumbling through that blizzard. I'm no tyrant, and I'm hurt you can't even trust I know what I'm doing.
Wulfgar:	Peace! We have bigger problems! That blade cuts the air on its own! We cannot pass it!
Aspix:	Yes! The living blade of disaster! Aptly named, aptly named!
10	Defeat the Living Blade of Disaster		A living blade of disaster blocks the exit, cutting down anything in its path!
Aspix:	So sad, so sad. Iriolarthas's demise is not the way Aspix and the others are freed of their curse.
Celeste:	Is that possible? Could you be changed back?
Aspix:	Seems possible, does it not? Magic is truly wonderous! And terrible. But Aspix does not know any more than those other nothics. Except that Aspix will not bite! Not the snack-givers! In this Aspix is smarter.
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		The arcane blight that changed these nothics persists even after Iriolarthas's demise! The only way past them is through them!
Vellynne:	We're wasting time. Avarice may have figured out the Rite of the Arcane Octad by now and will be heading for the mythallar.
Bruenor:	We're goin' as fast as we can! 'Tisn't as if we're stoppin' ta admire tha craftsmanship o' these tapestries!
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		You must get to the mythallar before Avarice does! Knock back these living spells!
Kingsport:	If I may ask -- if it's not an awkward time, and maybe it is...but if Netheril was so powerful, such skilled wizards, why did it collapse like such a wretched, wretched failure?
Celeste:	Ah, well, history tells us of an archmage named Karsus, who decided to steal the mantle of the goddess of magic. It did not end well for him -- the goddess was destroyed, and he could not contain her power. But with her so was all magic removed. And Netheril had relied too long and too heavily on magic.
Kingsport:	Oh horror! The poor people! The poor goddess!
Nayeli:	A tale of hubris and folly, wouldn't you say, Vellynne?
Vellynne:	I think it's a tale of survival and superiority. After all, the goddess came back -- she always comes back. We must all find the station we're meant for.
Celeste:	That...is one way to read it.
13	Collect 25 Ancient Relics		There is much to learn from Ancient Netheril -- beneficial and dangerous! Snatch those relics back!
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		This spell hails from a distant plane, but it seems right at home here, attacking you!
Bruenor:	Blast! Another o' those galvan magen!
Catti-brie:	They guard the doors! This means we're almost out!
15	Defeat the Galvan Magen		Look out! The galvan magen has some shocking moves!
Xerophon:	There it is! The mythallar of Ythryn!
Wulfgar:	And more magen!
Celeste:	Get closer to the mythallar, but don't touch it! Touching it will kill you -- it's extraordinarily powerful!
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		The magen don't want you to destroy the mythallar! Fight them off!
Celeste:	All right, Vellynne -- now's the time. You can cast disintegrate and destroy the mythallar.
Vellynne:	...Let's not be hasty. Think of everything Icewind Dale could do with power like this.
Nayeli:	You mean think what you and the Arcane Brotherhood can do.
Jarlaxle:	Sounds like it's dagger-in-the-kidney time!
Celeste:	Jarlaxle! No! Who else can cast disintegrate?
Alyndra:	Yes, well. it's just that it's a rather high-level spell and --
Ulkoria:	And do you know how long we've been running? How long it's been since we've had a good long rest? I spent my last good spell on that blasted magen, thinking Waffles here would be good as her word. More fool me, I think.
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		You need more time to convince Vellynne! Push those magen and nothics back!
18	Collect 25 Demos Magen Weapons		The demos magen are fearsome fighters! Take their swords and you'll stand a chance!
Celeste:	Vellynne, please. Do the right thing.
Vellynne:	I am. I'm going to attune to the mythallar and not waste its power. I've already begun -- if you try and stop me, you'll kill us all. I'm the only one who can do it.
Celeste:	Vellynne! No!
Jarlaxle:	Dagger-in-the-kidney time.
Bruenor:	Hold tha daggers fer tha magen, drow! We've got company!
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		You can't stop Vellynne, but you can stop these magen!
Catti-brie:	Oh no! More tomb tappers!
Celeste:	I think the mythallar's drawing them! Vellynne! You have to stop!
Jarlaxle:	She's too far into it. And they're trying to push us into the mythallar!
Catti-brie:	Then push 'em back, ye fool!
20	Defeat the Tomb Tappers		Tomb tappers were created to battle aberrations -- but these two seem to think you'll do just fine!
Vellynne:	...It's done. I've connected to the mythallar. I can stop the storms. I can lift Ythryn from the glacier. I can...watching gods, it's stronger than I expected...wait. Wait. Someone else is...I'm not the only one attuned to the mythallar.
Avarice:	Aw, Vellynne. Did you think you were first? What a disappointment. I've already attuned to the mythallar.
Celeste:	Avarice! Surely, we can work something out?
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		These demos magen don't want you to parley! Fight them back!
Vellynne:	Avarice, we have to work together if we're going to use the mythallar.
Avarice:	Hmm. No, that opportunity is closed to you. I offered my partnership and you turned me down. So, this mythallar will be controlled by only one person, and that person will be me. I'd say I'm sorry it had to be like this Vellynne, but we both know I'd be lying. The only thing left to do is kill you.
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		Turns out Avarice also doesn't want to share the mythallar -- defend against her cultists!
23	Collect 25 Chardalyn Shards		The Netherese used chardalyn to store spells -- you don't want to know what these cultists have stored in those shards! Snatch them up!
Vellynne:	Avarice, can't you feel that? The mythallar is too powerful for either of us!
Avarice:	Sounds like you're giving up.
Celeste:	We won't let you control the mythallar. Auril's reign is diminished.
Avarice:	Then MY reign will begin! My endless reign, and you will regret you ever stood against me. You and all the Arcane Brotherhood!
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		Reinforcements from the Tiger Tribe have arrived to protect Avarice and help her take control of the mythallar! Ten-Towns is counting on you!
Vellynne:	There's no use arguing. We have to defeat her. Maybe...maybe you've been right. This is the folly of the Arcane Brotherhood. Always looking ahead, and never looking behind. Never looking at what we have achieved already and who is supporting us.
Jarlaxle:	Or, you know, waiting with a dagger for your kidney.
Celeste:	Jarlaxle!
Vellynne:	Corruption always comes with the thirst for power. This is the only way it ends.
25	Defeat the Lich Avarice		Avarice won't back down and won't release the mythallar! If you can't defeat her, the power of ancient Netheril will be hers to command!
Vellynne:	She's...she's gone. Her hold on the mythallar is ended.
Celeste:	Vellynne, I know you don't want to do this, but --
Vellynne:	No. I see now I must. This is too much power to wield over all those people. I would only be taking Karsus's path again, like too many before me. I will destroy the mythallar.
Professor Orb:	Not so fast!
Professor Orb:	What? Did you forget about -- Yilsebek, hold me higher, they can't all see me. There, all right. Did you forget about me? While you have been tangling with that tawdry lich, I have been working to seize Iriolarthas's greatest power!
Celeste:	You won't get control of the mythallar!
Professor Orb:	The mythallar? Who said anything about the mythallar? I'm talking about this! ...Yilsebek, really, hold the staff up! Hold it up! Higher!
Yilsebek:	This is as high as I can hold the sun-blighted thing!
Professor Orb:	Yes! The staff of power! With it, I will control the obelisk. I will use its power to return to ancient Netheril with my drow and seize control of Ythryn there, obliterating this timeline. And there's nothing you can do to stop me! Yilsebek, cast the spell!
Bruenor:	A wall o' force! They're gettin' away!
Vellynne:	No, they won't. Disintegrate can destroy a wall of force just fine!
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		The drow don't care that you've just had a big battle -- in fact, they prefer it!
Celeste:	Vellynne, tell me you can cast disintegrate again?
Vellynne:	Not today -- but this was more pressing, you have to admit. We're just fortunate he's the type to monologue.
Professor Orb:	No! How did you -- Yilsebek, where is the staff?
Minsc:	This staff? Very breakable.
Professor Orb:	You brutes! Never mind. That just means we move to the next plan.
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		The drow summon up the skeletons of frost giants to force you back.
28	Collect 25 Symbols of Lolth		Even as you cut down their skeletons, the drow show no signs of backing down. Collecting their symbols of Lolth might break their resolve!
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		The chaos of battle has alerted a pack of quaggoths!
Celeste:	You won't get to the mythallar, Professor.
Professor Orb:	Yilsebek, hold up the scroll. Do you know what this little treasure is, Champions? This is something I've been very interested in for a very long time. I had no idea Iriolarthas held the same fascination with that extraordinary being.
Jarlaxle:	Oh no.
Professor Orb:	That's right. If I can't have the world I wanted, then I'm going to have some fun -- summoning the tarrasque!
Celeste:	That's...That's an actual...an actual...
Baeloth:	THE actual! What's the big idea, Professor? Stealing people's rightfully stolen acts? Come here, pumpkin. Leave the nasty...orb thing. Hey!
Bruenor:	Ya daft drow! Get out o' tha way! 'Tis rampagin'!
Yilsebek:	You said you could control the tarrasque!
Professor Orb:	Oh, I lied about that. This is going to be fun to watch. Hold me up higher.
30	Defeat the Tarrasque		He actually did it. He actually summoned the tarrasque...Don't let it crush you!
Nayeli:	Vellynne! Are you all right? It crushed the mythallar like it was a dry leaf!
Vellynne:	Yes, I'm...I'm all right. But if it managed to crush the mythallar and run off...The tales of the tarrasque must be true. It's a fearsomely strong creature.
Bruenor:	'Tis destroyin' the city! Runnin' all 'round the towers! It's...what's this puddle in the tarrasque footprint?
Jarlaxle:	Yilsebek, I think. And we'd best move if we don't want to all become puddles.
Nayeli:	We have to destroy the tarrasque.
Celeste:	Even with all of us attacking, I'm not sure we can. But we have to try.
Vellynne:	We might be able to banish it. Or perhaps trap it?
Baeloth:	You'll do no such thing! That is MY tarrasque, I'd know it anywhere! It belongs in the Black Pits and I'm not about to lose that kind of draw just because that smug ball thought he could be cute. We have to catch it.
Celeste:	Baeloth, how in the world are we supposed to catch THE TARRASQUE?
Baeloth:	Get me close. I'll do the rest!
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		Get Baeloth to the tarrasque -- but first you'll have to get through those drow fighters!
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		The tarrasque has left a streak of destruction behind it, but those drow hate losing!
Celeste:	The drow are dropping poison fungi everywhere. Maybe we can use it to subdue the tarrasque.
Nayeli:	I have a feeling Baeloth will have a problem with that.
Celeste:	It's massive! We just need to slow it down. Also, are you implying you are okay with Baeloth keeping a tarrasque in a pit in the Underdark?
Nayeli:	Fair point. I'll help you pick them up.
33	Collect 25 Poison Fungi		The drow have plenty of poisonous fungi on them. Quick! It might help you subdue the tarrasque!
Professor Orb:	What are you doing with those? I hope you aren't thinking of poisoning the tarrasque.
Celeste:	We're going to do what needs to be done! And your opinion isn't needed.
Professor Orb:	Not an opinion, a cold fact: The tarrasque is immune to poison. It won't do anything. Now that I've enlightened you from your staggering ignorance, would you pick me up? I want to see the rest of this.
Celeste:	...Nayeli, did you hear something?
Nayeli:	Only the sound of a self-important fool.
Professor Orb:	Come back here! Pick me up!
Hew Maan:	Ooooh. Look what we have found! New toy! Shiny! Putting it in the pockets.
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		If the drow are going to retreat, they might as well bring you down with them! Don't let them stop you!
Bruenor:	'Tis another o' them galvan magen! Don't they see there's bigger troubles in tha city?
Vellynne:	They're operating on the magic imbued in them when they were created. I doubt Iriolarthas prepared them for a rampaging tarrasque.
35	Defeat the Galvan Magen		Another galvan magen tries to prevent you from sullying Ythryn! Can't they see there are bigger problems here?!
Xerophon:	Quickly! The tarrasque is moving towards that bridge!
Celeste:	Oh no! That's how we got in! It leads out to the surface through a cave system!
Xerophon:	Surely it can't get through the caves?
Jarlaxle:	I don't think it will have much trouble smashing through the ice, given a path. We need to take that bridge down!
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		Nothics fleeing the tarrasque stop to test their claws on you!
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		These living spells seem spooked by the tarrasque rampaging past!
Jarlaxle:	More dragonets?! How are there still more of these?
Celeste:	There was a lot of chardalyn involved in Xardok's machinations! This has to be the last of them though. We should gather up that chardalyn so no one else gets any ideas.
38	Collect 25 Pieces of Chardalyn Dragonets		These must be the last of the chardalyn dragonets! Collect up the shards so no one else gets any ideas!
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		Gnoll vampires and frozen zombies pour through the glacier's crack -- if the tarrasque sees them, it will be able to find its way out!
Bruenor:	Alright spellcasters, give tha glacier everythin' ye've got. I don't want a gnat ta be able ta get back through tha Caves o' Hunger!
Jarlaxle:	The rest of you, hold the line!
40	Defeat the Coldlight Walker		A coldlight walker shambles toward you, seeking the warmth stolen from it in life!
Celeste:	Excellent work! The cave's collapsing! The way out is blocked!
Jarlaxle:	Well. We trapped ourselves with a tarrasque. I have to say, I didn't think this was how I would die, but maybe, since I've taken up with you people, I should have guessed.
Baeloth:	We're hardly trapped. Where do you think those other drow came from? The Astral Sea? There's a passage to the Underdark somewhere here, and THAT's what we need to find now!
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		Can a tarrasque crush a living spell? These living Bigby's hands will tear through you rather than find out!
Celeste:	There! That crack! Is that the Underdark entrance?
Jarlaxle:	I mean, it's certainly a dark hole to an unknowable void, so possibly.
Baeloth:	Well, let's get a closer look! After all the tarrasque is tremendous, so it's not fitting in that little gap without some help.
Celeste:	The plan was to collapse the passage! If the tarrasque gets down into the Underdark, it will wreak havoc there too!
Baeloth:	I won't let it wreak havoc! Not unless people pay up front!
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		The Underdark entrance is dead ahead, but you'll have to force your way through this herd of living spells!
Kingsport:	I hear the rustling of more scrolls! Oh my, oh my!
Baeloth:	MORE scrolls? Grab them quick! I don't want another 'summon tarrasque' out in the world, fouling up my fantastic finale!
43	Collect 25 Singed Spell Scrolls		Are any of these scrolls of summon tarrasque? Let's not take chances! Grab them all!
Baeloth:	All right, Champions! Here's the plan: we expand this entrance with as much magic as we can muster. Melt that ice! Smash that rock! However big you think it needs to be, MAKE IT BIGGER. I need that tarrasque.
Xerophon:	I'm very curious how you fit a tarrasque into a pit.
Baeloth:	I just said. You make the pit bigger. A LOT bigger.
Xerophon:	I should like to see this pit. But those duergar are in the way of your plans, friend.
Baeloth:	Well, then, hit the duergar!
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		The duergar have heard the chaos above and come to see what spoils they can claim. Push them back!
Celeste:	What's that sound?
Jarlaxle:	Oh no...
Baeloth:	Oh no, no, no.
Xerophon:	Why is there a turtle...vulture...praying mantis screaming at us?
Jarlaxle:	I hate hook horrors.
45	Defeat the Hook Horror		A hook horror claws its way up out of the Underdark, hungry and furious! Force it back!
Baeloth:	All right, Underdark, that's enough stalling! Everyone, hit that ice with everything you've got! I'll take care of the tarrasque.
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		You need to carve more of the glacier away, but the duergar are making that difficult!
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		Svirfneblin seize the opportunity to attack -- don't let them stop you!
Celeste:	Baeloth, the opening's enormous now, but the tarrasque isn't even coming this way. What is your plan here?
Baeloth:	Simple. We lure it with its favorite treats.
Celeste:	What...are a tarrasque's favorite treats?
Baeloth:	Well, if we had some jerkied hill giant that would be ideal, but no one has that in stock these days. Maybe Iriolarthas has some griffon pâté...but no, that wouldn't be fresh enough by now. Oh, you know what would be best? Some cheese.
Celeste:	The tarrasque likes cheese?
Baeloth:	Who DOESN'T like cheese? Now we just have to find some...
Aspix:	Does Baeloth the Magnificent Entertainer need cheese? Aspix has magic box which makes cheese!
Celeste:	The abracadabrus! Quickly, Aspix, we need as much cheese as it can make!
Baeloth:	The smellier the better! Maybe some Impilturan askata -- no, wait, some of that awful, gray dwarfcheese! Smells like sweaty boots!
Minsc:	You need the best, smelliest cheese, you need Rashemi sjorl! Smoky AND pungent!
Aspix:	All the cheeses! The magic box makes all the cheeses!
Celeste:	That is a LOT of very strong cheeses! Wow. Grab them before they roll away!
48	Collect 25 Cheese Wheels		The abracadabrus has scattered its bounty! Collect up those cheese wheels and get them where the tarrasque can smell them!
Bruenor:	Oi, pile tha cheeses up as high as ye can! We need that tarrasque ta know where it's headin'!
Celeste:	Oh, I think it's caught the scent. It's heading this way!
Jarlaxle:	The drow have caught the scent too! Back! Get back!
Celeste:	If they knock down the tower, who knows where it will rampage! Keep them from the cheese!
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		The drow have realized your plan and want to stop you! Keep them away from the cheese!
Baeloth:	There, there pumpkin! Calm down!
Bruenor:	It dinna look calm. It dinna look like it even understands ye. And it's not slowin' down!
Celeste:	Champions! Ready!
Baeloth:	Don't kill it! I mean, I don't really think that's an option here, but DON'T KILL IT! Just subdue it enough for me to get on its back.
50	Defeat the Tarrasque		Subdue the tarrasque so Baeloth can recapture it. Or capture it. Does he really keep the tarrasque in the Black Pits?
Baeloth:	Hup! There we go! See the illusion of the hill giant jerky! That's a good tarrasque! Follow the jerky! Xerophon, you coming?
Xerophon:	Me?
Baeloth:	You said you wanted to see what a pit that could hold a tarrasque would be like. This is your chance. The next time I'm charging.
Celeste:	Xerophon, thank you for all your help protecting Ten-Towns. Bring them back safely, Baeloth!
Baeloth:	What's going to bother us? We're riding the tarrasque! Until next time!
Bruenor:	Well, there they go. Leavin' us with the work o' climbin' through all that ice. Well, nothin' fer it. Kingsport, can ye scout us a path? Aspix, scout tha heights? Everyone else...start diggin' so we can get back ta Ten-Towns safely.
