The Howling Peaks of Yon
Enter Yon and learn about the final fractured portion of Prismeer.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Celeste:	I think we're finally in Yon. No more forests, only mountain peaks.
Jarlaxle:	Wow, Little Oak and the pixie weren't kidding, this place is desolate.
Celeste:	With any luck, we'll be through it quickly. We know a lot more about Yon than we did about Hither or Thither. We know Endelyn likes theater. We know we need trinkets to bargain with. We know we needed to bring food into Yon because not much grows here. We know about the winds.
Bruenor:	Speakin' o' which, I dinna like tha look o' those storm clouds.
Jarlaxle:	And I don't like the look of those shadows!
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		Yon is a barren, stormy realm -- but those shadows don't mind it a bit! Defend yourselves!
Celeste:	That's a lot of detached shadows acting on their own. Say, wasn't the third thief a shadow? The one we met in the Witchlight Carnival?
Jarlaxle:	Yeah, and the pixie mentioned we didn't know anything about 'shadow scissors.' Sounds like Endelyn Moongrave might like shadows the way her sisters like lornlings and redcaps.
Yorven:	The shadows of Yon must embody those who once cast them's darkest natures. A hag eager for power and minions eager for destruction mean a force we must harness all our resolve to stand against.
Jarlaxle:	Did you literally just time that to the lightning flash?
Blooshi:	What are you doing?
Nat:	[signs] Checking my egg. The glittering didn't stop when we got to Yon. I thought it might. Now I wonder if it's going to get...Yon-infected.
Blooshi:	Uh, and then you have what? A vicious crocodile shadow? That's even better!
Star:	[indicates] What is that? New friend?
Nat:	[indicates] It will be. Soon. A very big friend who can...ouch. Ouch enemies.
Star:	[indicates] Exciting!
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		More shadowy enemies rise out of the rocks as you try to get your bearings.
Yorven:	The wind is picking up.
Celeste:	The pixie leader had a lot of warnings about the wind. If it's anywhere near as strong as she said...Maybe we should weigh ourselves down. Pick up some of these rocks and fill our pockets.
Yorven:	It's worth a try!
3	Collect 25 Rocks		If the winds you were warned about are coming, those rocks in your pockets will keep your feet on the ground!
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		The shadows of Yon are more than what's cast by the lightning! Fight them back!
Bruenor:	These ain't like regular shadows. They're vicious!
Blooshi:	'Stormy' -- I like how Endelyn Moongrave has a really well-defined vibe. Shadows plus storms plus...I guess theater. Ooh! Plus DRAMA!
Minsc:	Plus goblins.
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	A giant goblin shadow? I suppose that combines goblins, shadows, and a certain drama -- Oh! There's one attacking!
5	Defeat the Goblin Shadow Boss		This goblin shadow is bigger and more dangerous than the others! Stand firm!
Dead Ringer:	Make way! Make way! Move aside, you lumps! We're on a holy quest!
Minsc:	There's no room to move aside. This is a very narrow path!
Dead Ringer:	Go to your right!
Celeste:	What did you just say?!
Minsc:	...NEVER NEVER NEVER joke about what lies to the right!
Jarlaxle:	You madman! There are CHILDREN in this party!
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		These bell ringing goblins don't like you here! Don't let them push you off the path!
Dead Ringer:	We are the Dead Ringers! We seek to wake the spirits of our ancestors. To commune with them! To gain their knowledge!
Celeste:	Oh that seems like a worthy goal!
Dead Ringer:	To employ them in our quest to rob passing travelers!
Celeste:	...less worthy.
Dead Ringer:	You don't like it? How 'bout you tell our ancestors what you just said when you meet them in the afterlife!
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		The goblins are trying to speak to their dead -- but if they send you to the grave with a message, that could work too! Fight back!
Dottie:	Do my eyes de-seed me? Travelers and they don't look like they're from around here. Well met! I'm Dottie! Are you friendly?
Gleam:	They don't even look like they're from the Feywild. Are you all right, travelers?
Nat:	[signs] The thief! The third thief!
Minsc:	Turn back, thief! We won't fall for your tricks again!
Celeste:	Wait...I don't think that's the thief of Yon. She's not a shadow.
Jarlaxle:	She doesn't even HAVE a shadow.
Gleam:	Oh! I...take it you've encountered my detached shadow? Endelyn Moongrave stole it and put it to work for her stealing things.
Nayeli:	That's horrible!
Gleam:	I suppose. It's not the worst thing she's stolen from me though. I used to be part of a double act in the Witchlight Carnival -- Gleam and Glister! The Selenelion Twins. But Endelyn has imprisoned my twin and I can't bear to return without her.
Dottie:	And we haven't figured out how to get close to Motherhorn without being spotted. There just aren't enough dandelions around for me to blend in!
Bruenor:	We'd love ta help ye out in exchange fer some information about Yon.
Dottie:	We'd love to! I'm a plant who plans! Heehee! Speaking of planning, you should pick up those trinkets the goblins are dropping. People love trinkets!
8	Collect 25 Feywild Trinkets		These trinkets will come in handy for trade! Grab what you can!
Dottie:	If you want to get to Motherhorn, there's two ways to do it. Unfortunately, neither of them are easy.
Gleam:	Motherhorn holds Endelyn's amphitheater where she puts on all of her shows. So you can get in through the front door -- only you'll need to blend in, because 'Bitter End' will see you coming.
Dottie:	Yeah, it's better if you can get an invitation. The second way is sneakier, but you have to climb up the back slope of Motherhorn. It's very steep and you shouldn't do it without gear. Which we haven't found anyone who will sell.
Jarlaxle:	That's it? Blast. I thought this one was supposed to be simpler.
Dottie:	...well...there might be another way. It's just a rumor.
Dead Ringer:	Hey! I said get off the path! You're making us angry!
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		You'd be happy to leave these goblins to their business if they would just stop attacking!
Jarlaxle:	What is your problem? Why don't YOU go around?
Bruenor:	Say...there's somethin' familiar 'bout that goblin...
Dead Ringer:	Familiar? Or --
Nilbog:	BACKWARD! Hahahaha! That's right, Champions! More tricks for you!
10	Defeat the Nilbog		That nilbog again! You don't need its tricks! You need to get to Motherhorn!
Dottie:	My goodness! That was weird!
Jarlaxle:	Occupational hazard. What's the secret way into Motherhorn?
Dottie:	Well like I said, it's just a rumor. But I hear the brigganocks have a secret tunnel that goes straight to Motherhorn. If you could get in with the brigganocks, they might let you use it!
Jarlaxle:	All right, how do we find these brigganocks?
Dottie:	Keep heading toward Motherhorn. Take the path around the peaks toward the beacon lake. You'll find them.
Gleam:	Thank you for helping me, Champions! We'll meet you at the beacon lake later on and get home.
Nat:	[signs] Minsc! Help me! Hold onto Star! The wind's too strong and he's too little!
Minsc:	Come here, Star! Boo and I will hold tight to you.
Star:	Mew!
Nayeli:	This wind is getting fierce! And we're right on the edge of the cliff!
Bruenor:	Ain't ye glad fer those rocks in yer pockets?
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		The winds are picking up, but these goats and darklings seem used to the storms! Hold your ground!
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		The path falls away and the wind is getting stronger -- but these goats keep charging!
Celeste:	Nat! Grab her!
Yorven:	I've got her! Careful, young one.
Nat:	[signs] Thank you! The wind's too strong! It knocked me over!
Bruenor:	Aye, this ain't a wind, 'tis a tornado! We need somethin' better than tha rock solution.
Jarlaxle:	Those goats have rope leads we could tie down with! Or at least use to lash Nat to Minsc.
Nat:	[signs] Hey!
13	Collect 25 Coils of Rope		Your rock solution isn't going to be enough! Pick up those coils of rope to tie yourselves down!
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		Fighting in a tornado is more than the pixie leader warned you about! Keep pushing!
Bruenor:	Tha weather should be better once we get around this cliff! Come on!
Blooshi:	Eep! What is THAT? A rock person!?
Celeste:	A galeb duhr.
Blooshi:	...OH. We have one of those in Downfall, actually. It lives in the stepstone bridge. They look different not-wet. Hey! Hey galeb duhr! Do you know Grunch? The galeb duhr in Downfall? Uh-oh, I don't think he likes that question.
15	Defeat the Galeb Duhr		A galeb duhr rises out of the rocky landscape, ready to push you back down the slopes!
Bruenor:	There we go. That cliff should cut off tha wind fer a bit, but we'll be back in it once we come around this canyon. Least we know now how ta hold ourselves down!
Nat:	[signs] What do you think that big thing is out there? That big stick with the shape on it?
Celeste:	I think it's a lightning rod. It seems to be drawing the energy of the storm toward it.
Blooshi:	Hey, where'd all these bees come from? There's no flowers here!
Minsc:	A fact that seems to be making them very angry! Look out!
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		Bees buzz up the mountain slopes! What kind of flowers are they looking for?
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		The shadows follow the swarm of bees toward you! Swat them down!
Bruenor:	Moradin's hairy rump! Tha storm's been through here all right. Tha whole path is blocked. Guess it's time ta start diggin'!
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	Watch out for those bees and shadows while we do!
18	Defeat 1 Fallen Rock Blocker		The path is blocked by rocks dislodged by the storm! Clear the rubble!
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		Yon is a darker realm even than Thither's shadowed forest! Drive its denizens back!
Celeste:	The wind's picking up again! Bruenor, I thought we were clear until we came around the mountainside!
Bruenor:	We shoulda been! This wind dinna make any sense!
Jarlaxle:	I think I found our problem! Air elemental coming our way!
20	Defeat the Air Elemental		The wind grows fiercer and reveals an air elemental ready to battle! Don't get blown away!
Yorven:	This place reminds me too much of the Shadowfell. The barren rocks. The seeping shadows. The sudden storms. And now, we descend into this valley, shut away from any hint of sun.
Blooshi:	There's at least a hint of sun. Also bees! Wait, are there bees in the Shadowfell? Do you call them 'shadow bees'? Or like 'umbral bees'? That sounds super cool. Umbral bees.
Yorven:	Why ARE there so many bees in this place? It's almost as if we're walking toward a hive.
Blooshi:	'Umbral honey.' 'Dusky honey' -- Oooh, 'crepuscular honey.'
Yorven:	...No, they just call it 'shadow honey' in the Shadowfell.
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		The swarms of bees grow thicker as the wind dies down. Where are they coming from?
Bruenor:	This is pretty. Looks like a rock garden back home.
Blooshi:	You garden rocks? Weird. I didn't know rocks could grow.
Bruenor:	Well tha rocks dinna grow. They just look pretty where ya put 'em. Then ya admire them and think about how pretty nature is, and all.
Blooshi:	Couldn't you just do that with a swamp? Swamps are better than rocks.
Bruenor:	Not a lot o' swamps 'neath tha mountains, lass.
Blooshi:	Really? Weird. Oh hey, look! Those rocks DO get bigger...er, stand up. Oh they're not rocks, I get it.
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		Stone golems heave up out of the rocky landscape, defending the path! Don't let them stop you!
Nat:	[signs] Look! The bees live in those little hives! They're making honey!
Star:	[indicates] I love that. I want that.
Nat:	[signs] Minsc, can we get some honey? Pleeeease? We are sad children in a tragic landscape. Some sugar would make us so happy.
Star:	[indicates] So happy. Please?
Blooshi:	PLEASE?
Minsc:	That is three votes, I guess we attack the bees!
23	Collect 25 Pieces of Honeycomb		Sweet honey! Take a little for your supplies!
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		Uh-oh. The bees aren't the only things nesting in this rock garden! Defend yourselves!
Cyclops Beekeeper:	HEY! WHAT ARE YOU LITTLE RATS DOING? GET AWAY FROM MY BEES!
Star:	[indicates] Oh no. He's very big.
Minsc:	Don't worry, Star! He may be very large...Huge even...But we are the Champions and we stand firm against evil!
Cyclops Beekeeper:	GET YOUR STICKY HANDS OFF MY HONEY OR I'LL SMASH YOU FLAT!
Minsc:	That...is a very big stick.
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	Yes, Boo, I see the beehive on the end of it! I'm paying attention!
25	Defeat the Cyclops Beekeeper		The beekeeper's sting is worse than his charges'! Don't let the cyclops beekeeper smash you!
Celeste:	What are those little mousy people?
Nat:	[signs] They're sort of funny! They look like they're dancing -- Ouch!
Minsc:	It is not funny to throw rocks!
Alagarthas:	Those? Those are brigganocks. Would you mind holding this torch...Oh drat the wind blew it out. I'm never getting out of here.
Celeste:	Sorry, who are you?
Minsc:	It's also not funny to chase us with pickaxes!
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		These funny little creatures think it's amusing to torment you! Fight back!
Alagarthas:	My name is Alagarthas, Prince of the Tangled Wood. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get these beacons lit before the peryton troupe returns.
Bruenor:	Ain't it a bit windy ta be climbin' up those spires? Ye'll fall ta yer death!
Alagarthas:	Listen: I've been stuck in this horrible little domain for a year, humoring that vile witch long enough to learn how to save my people. Now the only way -- the ONLY way I can get home and put all this torment to use is to light all eight of these beacons.
Bruenor:	Could ye nae wait fer tha wind ta die down?
Alagarthas:	NO! Because it's only when the winds get high that the perytons leave. If the perytons are here, they swoop at me and attack me and put out the fires I do manage to light! It's endless! So I can scale the beacons in a possible tornado, or JUST LIVE HERE FOREVER.
Bruenor:	Ye sound like ye're a mite frustrated.
Alagarthas:	A MITE? A MITE? YEAH YOU COULD SAY THAT!
Alagarthas:	Sorry. It's been...It's been a long year. I thought, 'hey, I'm an elf! I've lived for centuries and centuries! What's one year to discover the way to save the Tangled Wood? Nothing!'
Celeste:	Did she torture you?
Alagarthas:	So much bad theater.
Celeste:	Ah.
Alagarthas:	But this is even worse! She let me go! I should be able to go home! But no matter what I do, I'm thwarted! I'll never be able to light all eight beacons! If it's not the wind, it's the perytons. If it's not the perytons, it's their backup dancers. And if it's not the backup dancers, it's the GROUPIES. And if it's none of them, it's these cursed shadows! Go away! I'm having a conversation!
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		The minions of Yon won't give you a little peace to finish your conversation! Hush them up!
Minsc:	Hey! Brigganocks! Do you have a secret tunnel?
Blooshi:	You can't just ask someone if they have a secret tunnel!
Minsc:	What am I supposed to do? Capture them and force them to show it to us? That seems deeply evil!
Blooshi:	No you have to be cool and interesting, but like not try too hard. Then they'll think we're mysterious and want to show it to us so we'll want to hang out!
Minsc:	That seems like it will take a very long time. Also they are stealing Alagarthas's torches.
Blooshi:	Ugh, rude. Okay nevermind I don't want to hang out with them anyway. Let's go back to the fighting plan.
28	Collect 25 Torches		Well the first thing Alagarthas needs is torches -- grab what you can!
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		The brigganocks sweep toward you, pickaxes out! Hold your ground!
30	Defeat the Brigganock Leader		The brigganock leader is furious you've thwarted the brigganocks! He's going to charge!
Celeste:	We can't just leave Alagarthas to his fate.
Jarlaxle:	Actually, it's really easy. We just keep walking that way --
Yorven:	Don't be a villain. That elf is trapped here just as you are, just as I was. Endelyn has made it impossible for him to succeed alone. And what are Champions for but to show the value of working together?
Jarlaxle:	Stop. I can't take this much positive messaging.
Celeste:	Alagarthas? We'd like to help you.
Alagarthas:	That's good because the wind is dying down...so THEY'LL be here soon.
Alagarthas:	Here they come.
Celeste:	It looks like...birds?
Alagarthas:	Most of them are birds. Some of them are people who've been polymorphed into birds. All of them are incredibly obnoxious. Yeah, I mean you, Xerxes! You heard me!
Celeste:	...Who is Xerxes?
Alagarthas:	Do you see that axebeak with the smug look on his face? That guy. He's the WORST. Won't stop talking about how the peryton troupe is groundbreaking performance and elven theater is all dated and emotionless. And he kicks. Literally. Those claws are razor sharp.
Celeste:	Uh...all right.
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		Alagarthas's avian tormentors return with the wind's end! Defend your new friend!
Celeste:	So...does anyone else hear these birds taunting you? Is that perhaps part of the curse?
Alagarthas:	What? No! I'm using a beast speech spell. Did you think I was actually losing my mind?
Celeste:	You're under a lot of stress. There's no shame in having difficulties with mental health.
Alagarthas:	Oh I definitely am having mental health difficulties. I mean, I'm using a spell to listen to these jerks share their plebeian tastes in performance. PANTOMIME IS DEAD, XERXES! IT'S AN ART FORM FOR CHILDREN!
Jarlaxle:	This decision to help is getting more and more entertaining.
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		Axe beaks attack from the ground! Ravens attack from above! Return the attack from all sides!
Bruenor:	All right -- Alagarthas need ta get those beacons lit. So while we fight off tha birds, we'll need ta gather fire-startin' tools.
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	Boo is correct, I suspect! The shards of stone around the birds look like flint. That will be very useful.
33	Collect 25 Pieces of Flint		If you're going to make fire, you need some flint! Gather up the pieces around you!
Nayeli:	This is very frustrating! They keep swooping at us!
Alagarthas:	This? This is only the warm-up. They're just showing off for the bigger acts. Just wait.
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		These birds are relentless! And they're not even the main act! Cut them down!
Alagarthas:	Xerxes, will you just shut up? No one wants to hear how Archilius needs another understudy. We all know you mean you.
Celeste:	Alagarthas, maybe you shouldn't antagonize the axe beaks.
Alagarthas:	No see, he won't stop without a fight and it's incredibly annoying, and --
Celeste:	And he's charging! Shields up!
35	Defeat the Axe Beak Alpha		That's the biggest axe beak you've ever seen! Stand your ground!
Alagarthas:	Oh gods. The fan club's arrived.
Celeste:	Wait, I thought the axe beaks and vultures were the fan club?
Alagarthas:	Mm, those guys were more...sycophants. They want into the troupe so they talk it up. They want to tell you LOUDLY why the peryton troupe are brilliant and show off. These geese will literally attack you if you tell them you aren't that into the perytons. They're fanatical.
Jarlaxle:	Who ARE the peryton troupe? You keep saying that like we should know.
Alagarthas:	Did you listen to a word I just said? Oh no -- they heard you. Brace!
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		The perytons send their biggest fans after you! Stomp those geese! Swat those falcons!
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		Birds of a feather...attack from all sides! Defend yourselves!
Alagarthas:	You know if you just took the opportunity to share what you love, Termina, if you welcomed people who haven't had the chance to learn about it yet, you'd probably have less of a reputation for being a toxic midden heap!
Jarlaxle:	Termina is...?
Alagarthas:	That goose that looks like it smelled something bad. WELL IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME SAYING IT, STOP MAKING THAT FACE, TERMINA! Anyway, the peryton troupe used to be a human acting troupe called the Greyhawk Mummers. They were pretty good -- I saw them perform at Motherhorn.
Jarlaxle:	Let me guess: the hag cursed them.
Alagarthas:	Got it in one. They started getting a little smug and difficult to control. So she took their voices and made them perytons. But they have a whole new following out here among the birds, so they seem to have mostly adjusted.
Bruenor:	We've got 'nuff flint fer a dozen fires. Now we need some tinder.
Blooshi:	Like a hot air balloon? I hear those burn up QUICK.
Bruenor:	Er, more like some o' that dry grass growin' between tha rocks.
38	Collect 25 Bits of Tinder		To get these fires started, Alagarthas will need some tinder! Gather it up!
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		The sky darkens with the spread of many wings -- will these flocks of birds ever let up?
Bruenor:	What tha? What's that? Tha sky went even darker?
Minsc:	A dragon!
Alagarthas:	[sigh] No. That's Lenny. He's a quetzalcoatlus, and he's pretty much king of this fan club. He's going to try and explain away the peryton troupe's problematic performance of 'The Devil and the Details,' which...let's be honest, they should have known not to bother doing. But Lenny's got a sixteen point refutation and he -- Oh, nevermind! You're lucky!
Jarlaxle:	He's not landing here?
Alagarthas:	No he's just going to attack you. Dodged the catapult there!
40	Defeat the Quetzalcoatlus		A piercing cry echoes over the lake. A quetzacoatlus dives in for its solo!
Alagarthas:	Well, at least the audience is going to be smaller at this rate. They get very rowdy. Especially when the monkeys show up.
Nat:	[signs] Monkeys?
Alagarthas:	Flying monkeys. They're always taking the front seats, pretending they're scouting for new talent, but they just don't like having to deal with having someone sit in front of them.
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		The perytons have more than birds in their fanbase! Flying monkeys join the attack!
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		Who knew geese and flying monkeys could synchronize so well? Drive them back!
Bruenor:	We've got flint, tinder, and torches. Now just an easier way fer Alagarthas ta climb tha beacons.
Nayeli:	Are those flying monkeys carrying climbing equipment? Who did they steal that from?
Blooshi:	Well they certainly don't need it. Gimme that rope, monkeys!
43	Collect 25 Climbing Gear		Those beacons are very tall -- some of this climbing gear could help Alagarthas!
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		The audience is getting restless! They want the peryton troupe!
Alagarthas:	Oh boy. Here they come. The Greyhawk Mummers and their best show: tormenting me.
Minsc:	HEY! YOU PERYTONS! I, MINSC, CHALLENGE YOU TO A --
Blooshi:	Gasp! A dance off!?
Minsc:	A BATTLE! You can pretend that it is a historical battle you are re-enacting if you wish. Perhaps you will be the wicked demon-summoners of Narfell and I will be the brave Raumiviran berserker who slays you! If we win, all of you will leave Alagarthas be! If you win, we will watch...twenty-five performances.
Alagarthas:	Uh, well...You've got their attention. Apparently it sounds like a juicy role. But Archilius wants to know if his demonbinder's motivation can be to prove to his cold father that he is indeed good enough to bind a demon prince?
Minsc:	This is acceptable! Time to fight!
45	Defeat the Perytons		The main event begins! Battle the perytons!
Alagarthas:	They're...leaving. I can't believe it. You drove them off. I'm...free. I can go home!
Nat:	[signs] Minsc, you were fantastic! That was very exciting!
Star:	You...were loud.
Minsc:	Star! Did you just speak? You can talk?
Star:	[indicates] I can talk. I talk fine. I talk like this. I like it better. I tried a different thing.
Nat:	[indicates] You use whatever way of talking works best for you. I like understanding each other.
Bruenor:	Tha perytons have flown away, but there's still a lot o' minions around.
Celeste:	Alagarthas, you start lighting the beacons and we'll keep you covered.
Alagarthas:	Honestly, knowing that those perytons aren't going to swoop down and put out the flames as soon as I light them has me so excited that I don't care WHAT might try and attack!
Jarlaxle:	All right, we're the ones down here fighting, so it would be good if you care a LITTLE!
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		Protect Alagarthas as he makes his run for the beacons!
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		More shadows seep out of the stone to attack you! Keep them away from Alagarthas!
Bruenor:	Those brigganock troublemakers are back!
Jarlaxle:	And they're dropping a lot of gems.
Celeste:	They must mine them. That explains the pickaxes. And the possibility of a secret tunnel!
Jarlaxle:	Well if they're dropping them, they must not need them so I'll just pick a few up...
48	Collect 25 Sparkling Gems		The brigganocks keep dropping these gems -- how pretty! Gather them up!
Yorven:	That's the last beacon lit! Alagarthas is coming back!
Blooshi:	Whoa, look at the lake! It's one of those forest things! Is that Thither?
Celeste:	No, I suspect it's a portal back to the Tangled Forest, where Alagarthas is from. He'll be able to go home at last!
Jarlaxle:	Well he's not going to be able to do much with all these little monsters crowding the lake. We're going to have to clear the shore.
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		The last flame is lit! Drive the minions of Yon back from the lake!
Alagarthas:	That's my home! The Tangled Forest! I can return. Oh, Champions, I cannot thank you enough. Without you I would never have been able to defeat the hag's cruel puzzle.
Bruenor:	There, there, elf. Ye're all right now. We're all gonna be all --
Blooshi:	What is that sound?
Minsc:	That is definitely a dragon!
Alagarthas:	Oh no! It's no dragon. It's the jabberwock! You're in terrible danger!
Celeste:	Alagarthas, get in the portal. We'll hold off the jabberwock! Hurry!
50	Defeat the Jabberwock		The jabberwock with eyes of flame comes whuffling up the lakeshore, teeth to bite and claws to catch! Keep it away from the portal!
Minsc:	I still say that is a dragon in all ways that count.
Bruenor:	That's no dragon, lad. I've never seen somethin' like that. I wonder which o' tha hags controls it.
Minsc:	Dragon or definitely a dragon, I will say with certainty that is the thing which left the footprints we saw in Thither. You can tell by the toe-spacing. Very easy diagnostic for dragons. And dragon-like things which are definitely dragons, even if you don't agree.
Celeste:	Those brigganocks ran to the south. I think we should follow. Now we've gotten a glimpse of the sort of airborne assault Endelyn could turn on us, I think the tunnel is a better option than ever.
Jarlaxle:	If it exists.
Celeste:	If it doesn't, we're right back where we are now: contemplating climbing a steep mountain in an endless storm to confront a dramatic hag who may or may not control a monster that may as well be a dragon. Come on, Jarlaxle. You've always liked a little risk!
