The Heart of Havock
Break the second ward, find the vault, and try not to get devoured!
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Blooshi:	Do you think we scared off that hertilod enough? I REALLY don't want to face that thing again...
Vecna:	What do you care? If it eats you, you'll just come back as a ghost!
Blooshi:	WILL I? Because, to my memory, that was a power I got FROM YOU. But you don't have your powers anymore and still won't talk to me about mine.
Vecna:	[Scoffs] I'm sure it's fine. You worry about the details too much.
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		These little fish are annoying - get rid of them.
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		Do your jobs and take these attacks for me. I'm too fragile to fight!
3	Collect 25 Lunar Dragon Chunks		Grab as many of those lunar dragon chunks as you can - I'm totally not going to throw them at you.
Astarion:	Reya, can we talk?
Reya:	Of course.
Astarion:	I appreciate that you're this 'big hero' type and always looking to do the right thing - but can we PLEASE get something out of it?
Reya:	...what are you talking about? What we're getting out of it is not letting Emperor Vecna take over the entire multiverse.
Astarion:	Yes, yes - I'm happy to do that. But I think we can get more out of it than that. Take the spelljammer crew, for example. You just promised to rescue them without getting anything out of it!
Reya:	We're not making people pay for us to rescue them.
Astarion:	No, of course not - I just... Oh, never mind. It's hopeless with you.
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		Who told fish they could fly anyway? Knock them out of the sky!
5	Defeat the Brown Scavver		That scavver looks hungry - don't let it eat me!
Sgt. Knox:	Over there - another piece of the ship.
Blooshi:	Maybe the piece of the rod is in there?
Reya:	Or at least the captain. Come on, let's check it out.
Reya:	Great, space clowns; the LAST thing we -
Alvina:	[Poofs into existence out of rainbows] HELLO Blooshi! My name is Alvina - and I've been looking ALL OVER the multiverse for you!
Blooshi:	Uh, you have? Why?
Alvina:	Because I am a messenger of your new patron - the Kittenlord!
Vecna:	The what?
Alvina:	They have been SO excited to take up your patronage when your last was abandoned.
Vecna:	Hey now, I didn't -
Alvina:	The Kittenlord just couldn't stand by and let your magical powers fade away. So they picked them up!
Vecna:	This feels like a scam.
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		Kill these space clowns or whatever, I'm going to deal with this cat.
Blooshi:	So, do I still have undead powers?
Alvina:	For now. There was lingering power in your pact, but it still needs a connection. The Kittenlord has taken on that connection, but eventually, their powers will become the new pact. As long as you agree to it.
Blooshi:	Wow, I don't know what to say - thank you! Well, thank the Kittenlord, I guess.
Alvina:	I'll be sure to let them know! Hehe!
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		This cat could just be another aberration! Take out these clowns and then deal with it!
Vecna:	I don't trust this flying stuffed animal as far as I can -
Blooshi:	So what is your role, Alvina?
Alvina:	I speak for the Kittenlord. I will bring messages between the two of you and advise you on any magical abilities that I can!
Vecna:	[Rolls eye]
Blooshi:	Wow! So, you'll like, talk to me about magic stuff and not just hang out silently in my bag?
Alvina:	...who would hang out silently in your bag? You're so cool!
Blooshi:	I AM so cool, aren't I, Alvina? Wow, I think we're going to be GREAT friends!
8	Collect 25 Ray Guns		Fine, if you're not going to deal with this annoying cat you could at least pick up those ray guns.
Vecna:	This isn't how warlocks are supposed to -
Blooshi:	Alvina, can you tell me more about the Kittenlord?
Alvina:	Of course! They're just the best. Ever seen an adorable kitten?
Blooshi:	You mean besides yourself?
Alvina:	AW! You're too kind! I'm just a celestial entity that will never age - not NEARLY as adorable as a real kitten. But anyhoo - if you ever see an adorable kitten, that means it was blessed by the Kittenlord!
Reya:	Aren't all kittens adorable?
Alvina:	The Kittenlord is VERY busy.
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		[Scoffs] Just kill these clowns - maybe that will make me happy.
10	Defeat the Big Scavver		Hey, let's just leave this big scavver and maybe it will eat the - oh FINE, defeat it. You all are no fun.
Sgt. Knox:	Quickly, let's get inside the ship before more of those clowns show up.
Plasmoid:	Hey! You missed some gold! Make sure we get all of it!
Sgt. Knox:	And WHAT is going on here?
Plasmoid:	...pirating, what does it look like?
Sgt. Knox:	Not allowed! CHAMPIONS! PROTECT THIS SHIP!
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		There are plasmoid pirates? Huh, well you better fight them before they stab you or whatever plasmoids do.
Blooshi:	Can you tell me more about the Kittenlord?
Alvina:	Of course! Where to start... OH! Well, they're very nice and very kind. They really do just love everyone and doesn't get what all this evil stuff is about.
Astarion:	Sounds downright boring.
Blooshi:	I don't know... maybe I should give this good thing a try?
Reya:	FINALLY.
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		Plasmoids! Aim for the cat! What? I'm not helping them. Go fight the plasmoids! See, I'm still 'on your side'.
Plasmoid:	Hey, get our bodyguard in here! She's late!
Sgt. Knox:	That's right - send us your best!
Plasmoid:	You are REALLY into this fighting thing, aren't you? Could you maybe shut that flying cat up so we can focus on the fight more?
Sgt. Knox:	Honestly, I'm fighting and yelling to tune her out! FIGHT ME!
13	Collect 25 Infinity's Mugs		They're dropping Infinity's Mugs! I love that place! They must have been there recently - grab as many as you can!
Alvina:	Let's see - OH! The Kittenlord LOVES sushi. Have you ever had sushi? You HAVE to try it! Their favorite color is purple. They LOVE long walks on the Celestial Sea. Not a big fan of dogs, but puppies are usually fine.
Reya:	All right, this is getting to be a lot even for me...
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		Fight louder! Drown out the sounds of this darn cat!
Reya:	Vin?
Vin Ursa:	Reya! Hey, good to see you! How have you been? What are you up to?
Reya:	Well, we're trying to save the multiverse - what are you doing here?
Vin Ursa:	Oh, you know, some pirates hired me to be their bodyguard while they pillaged ships - the usual!
Astarion:	She seems fun - why isn't she on the adventure with us?
Vin Ursa:	Honestly, I had a lot of job offers, and the Champion request didn't come with any coin - so, you know.
Astarion:	SEE, Reya? A little reward goes a long way.
Reya:	UGH.
15	Defeat the Vin Ursa		Hey, I like this person - can we swap her out for Reya? OW! Fine, fight, whatever.
Vin Ursa:	Well, that was fun! Hope you all save the multiverse or whatever. I gotta get the rest of these plasmoids out of here so I get SOMETHING out of this.
Alvina:	...the Kittenlord also LOVES -
Vecna:	GODS, we haven't had a whole minute of silence since you arrived! Can you just take off for a while and let us THINK without your annoying voice in our ears?!
Alvina:	...OF COURSE! I'm just happy to make you all happy. Blooshi, if you need me, just call out to me, and I'll show up as fast as I can. Bye now! [Vanishes in a poof of rainbows]
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		FINALLY - some peace and quiet to slaughter some grell in.
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		Isn't it so much better to fight without a cat talking in your ear? Makes me wish I could properly kill things again!
18	Collect 25 Brain Fluids		I'm a little parched - collect some of that brain fluid for me.
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		There must be a grell nest nearby - wipe them out!
Reya:	Look, there, on the wall! There's a magic shimmer.
Sgt. Knox:	That must be the other security rune!
20	Defeat the Security Ward Rune		Solving problems with weapons like real adventurers.
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		We should try grilling some of those star anglers - but you'll need to cut them down first!
Blooshi:	You know, you didn't have to be so rude to Alvina.
Vecna:	Please - she wasn't going to stop talking until all the stars in the sky went out! SOMEONE had to say something.
Astarion:	I'm trying not to agree with the lich, but...
Blooshi:	Whatever. I like Alvina - and it's nice to have someone I know I can talk to.
Reya:	Blooshi, you can always -
Blooshi:	YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		Take out these wildspace critters while Blooshi is all mopey.
23	Collect 25 Angler Scales		What does a book want with - whatever, the Book of Tarchamus wants angler scales FOR REASONS.
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		Better clear out these creatures before the hertilod notices all the commotion!
25	Defeat the Star Angler Leader		That star angler is eyeing me! Kill it KILL IT!
Sgt. Knox:	Look, giff are all over this part of the ship.
Astarion:	Are we sure they're not also a bunch of disguised death slaadi?
Giff Shipmate:	I dare say, there is quite a bit of booty to be looted on this ship.
Sgt. Knox:	I think it's safe to assume these aren't.
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		Those are some hungry hungry giff! Don't let them near me!
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		If there's one thing I hate - it's annoying space birds helping giff attack us. Deal with this!
Captain Inda:	Who is that up there? Are you more giff?
Reya:	No, we've come from another part of the ship - we're here to help!
Captain Inda:	GOOD! Get rid of these giff and meet me downstairs!
28	Collect 25 Wildspace Maps		You know how you can teach these giff a lesson? Steal THEIR stuff! Take their Wildspace maps!
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		You all are taking a long time to be heroes - hurry up and win this!
30	Defeat the Swarm of Space Guppies		If giff weren't bad enough, now the space guppies are swarming! Deal with this annoyance!
Captain Inda:	About time!
Sgt. Knox:	Would you have preferred we left all the giff up there?
Captain Inda:	I'd have preferred you dealt with them faster! Hurry up, there's more down here!
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		More giff! Quick, get between me and their weapons and do something about them!
Reya:	Captain, we need to talk to you about the piece of the rod. We know you have it.
Captain Inda:	Is NOW really the right time?
Blooshi:	You'd be surprised how often we fight and talk.
Captain Inda:	[Sighs] What do you want the rod for? Treasure?
Reya:	We're trying to save the multiverse and it's vitally important that we get this piece of the rod.
Captain Inda:	Hmm... I don't believe you, I'm going to keep it.
Blooshi:	Seriously?!
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		This captain has a healthy sense of skepticism. Regardless, fight these giff!
Captain Inda:	How do you know about the rod, anyway?
Book of Tarchamus:	Hello!
Captain Inda:	You're working with THAT? How do you expect me to trust you when you travel with dark artifacts that read people's minds?
Blooshi:	It's really not that bad of a book anymore.
Book of Tarchamus:	She's right! And I don't even use people's thoughts against them anymore. For instance, I never told any of the crew that you've been keeping more treasure than they know about!
Captain Inda:	...
Book of Tarchamus:	WHAT? None of them are here!
33	Collect 25 Space Eel Filets		A pause in the assault - a perfect time to score more of that space eel filet!
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		Those maggots came from under that door over there - I'm sure that's fine and isn't a problem! Squish them!
Astarion:	Tell you what, captain. If you were to be so kind as to give us the piece of the rod, we'll make sure you and all of your crew get off this corpse - safe and sound.
Captain Inda:	...and how would you do that?
Astarion:	We have an invisible portal floating nearby that leads to Sigil - where we came from.
Captain Inda:	And you swear my crew will be safe?
Astarion:	[Smiles] On my cold, dead heart.
Captain Inda:	...deal.
35	Defeat the Giff Warlord		That big giff looks like the leader! DESTROY HIM! ...was that a little too much?
Reya:	Astarion, we were already going to save these people.
Astarion:	And she doesn't need to know that.
Reya:	But this isn't -
Astarion:	Darling, I understand that you have a creed you conduct yourself with and that it tells you to always 'do good' and 'be selfless'. But sometimes, a little bit of selfishness is necessary. Dare I say it can be 'good' even.
Reya:	It just doesn't feel right.
Astarion:	And it doesn't have to. But at the end of the day, we're going to get what we need and they're going to get what they need. Everybody wins.
Reya:	That attitude is just going to get us into trouble one day.
Astarion:	Undoubtably! But it'll be fun to see how we get out of it.
Captain Inda:	All right, before I can give you the rod, you'll need to find two security wards and -
Blooshi:	Been there, done that.
Captain Inda:	Oh, well, all right then, it's just through this - WHERE IS ALL OF MY TREASURE?!
Sgt. Knox:	If I had to guess, it was probably taken by whatever made that giant hole.
Captain Inda:	No, YOU THINK?! AGH!
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		Heh, gotta love it when bad stuff happens to good people. ...Why are you looking at me like that? Oh, go fight something!
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		I know I deal with gross things as a lich, but these are too gross - get rid of them.
38	Collect 25 Mouther Teeth		The Book of Tarchamus claims gibbering mouther teeth is a good ingredient - I think it just wants to laugh at you. Grab some either way.
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		These giff didn't get the message about their warlord - deliver it with your blades!
40	Defeat the Beholder		A beholder! Don't let it turn me to stone! I'm too pretty to be a statue!
Captain Inda:	Well, the rod was with that treasure, so go get it back!
Blooshi:	It's going to smell bad in there, isn't it?
Astarion:	In the tunnel made out of a rotting, dead god? Why would you possibly think it would smell bad in there?
Vecna:	They may have taken my powers, but at least they didn't restore my sense of smell.
Reya:	This mist - it's burning my lungs!
Sgt. Knox:	The air in here must be filled with poison. Quickly, Champions. Let's not linger here longer than we need to.
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		Kill these maggots before the air kills you!
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		Huh, the space eels seem fine in here. Are you sure you should be eating their filets?
Vecna:	You know, the air might be poisonous and we might be walking through rotting remains - but at least there isn't an annoying flying cat yapping in out -
Blooshi:	SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! Pondscum, you are just INSUFFERABLE! I can't believe I EVER idolized you - let alone was your warlock!
Vecna:	Oh come now, I wasn't a bad patron.
Blooshi:	Really? You want to go there? Well, at least the Kittenlord spoke to me in some way. At least Alvina showed up and told me what was going on - instead of just being a silent skull in bag that was COMPLETELY USELESS. No, I'm done with you. Don't bother talking to me - I won't be responding. Actually, one more thing - Alvina is a TRESSYM! Not a cat!
43	Collect 25 Maggot Eggs		Sheesh, what's her problem? Pick up these maggot eggs, maybe that will make her forget about it.
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		Anyone else realized we're in a giant heart? No? Just me? Well these guppies probably aren't supposed to be here so clear them out.
45	Defeat the Megapede		Gross! That megapede just came crawling out of a heart valve. You fight it, I'm going to be sick over here.
Blooshi:	AH! The hertilod!
Sgt. Knox:	It's scooping up the treasure in its mouth and devouring it!
Reya:	Hey! We needed that!
Sgt. Knox:	It's crawling onto the ceiling - everyone, get ready!
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		While the hertilod is out of reach - deal with these jellies!
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		The hertilod is still on the ceiling - don't let these star anglers eat me!
48	Collect 25 Ochre Jelly Jars		[Sighs] The Book of Tarchamus says we really need ochre jelly - so jar some up!
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		The hertilod looks like it's ready to come down! Clear out these enemies first!
Astarion:	So, how are we planning on getting that rod now that it's in that creature's stomach?
Sgt. Knox:	...well, I have thought of one way.
Astarion:	This is going to be gross, isn't it?
50	Defeat the Hertilod		Looks like you're going in after the rod - have fun with that and try not to be sick!
Reya:	That was... terrible.
Sgt. Knox:	I've seen things...
Astarion:	Let's never do that again, shall we?
Reya:	Good call. Well, we got the piece of the rod. Let's get back to the captain and gather up her crew.
