Transcript

The Lost Heir of Omu
Find and rescue the Heir of Omu from some brazen pirates.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Asharra:	The pirates of Port Castigliar have long made incursions up the river, seeking the treasures of Kir Sabal. In the chaos of the gargoyle attack, they saw opportunity - and seized the most valuable thing we protect, the Princess Mwaxanaré.
Celeste:	That's incredible. All the tales I've heard say that the royal line of Omu is no more.
Asharra:	Not so. Mwaxanaré and her young brother, Na, are under the protection of the aarakocra until the evil in Omu is undone. I blame myself for this. My place was in Kir Sabal, and I have failed in my duty.
Nayeli:	You blame yourself needlessly, Asharra. And you can help your people by leading us to this Port Castigliar. We'll find your princess.
Bruenor:	But best we make a fast start. Looks like a few stragglers from tha last fight are itchin' fer a rematch.
1	Defeat 25 Monsters		Asharra explains the circumstances behind the disappearance of Princess Mwaxanaré, and gratefully accepts your offer of aid. Now to finish up in Kir Sabal before you go.
2	Collect 25 Snake Skins		The skins of Chult's colorful flying snakes are worth collecting as you go.
Jarlaxle:	Do these beasts not realize that eating each other would be a great deal easier than trying to kill us?
Bruenor:	We're an exotic taste, ye and I. Can't blame 'em fer tryin'.
3	Defeat 25 Monsters		As you leave Kir Sabal behind and press into the jungle, a few familiar friends are there to greet you.
4	Defeat 25 Monsters		The restless undead of the jungle are always eager to join someone else's fight.
5	Defeat the Assassin Vine		You knew that pushing into the dense foliage of the deep jungle would be arduous—but you weren't expecting that foliage to push back!
Celeste:	The assassin vine is a rare creature. It's a shame to destroy it before it could be studied.
Bruenor:	That'd be one botany lesson no one needs ta learn.
Asharra:	If we want to reach Port Castigliar quietly, moving through the jungle is our best path.
Jarlaxle:	I have yet to see any path through this green nightmare that could be even charitably described as 'best.'
6	Defeat 25 Monsters		The river is the most direct route to Port Castigliar, but the pirates will be watching for pursuit from Kir Sabal.
7	Defeat 25 Monsters		The beasts of the jungle give way to lizardfolk—and they are not happy to see you!
Nayeli:	This is not a warrior tribe.
Celeste:	The way they're fighting makes me beg to differ.
Nayeli:	I simply suggest that we try to push past them with as little bloodshed as possible. Scattering their supplies might do the trick.
8	Collect 25 Lizardfolk Rations		Destroying the lizardfolk's stores might convince them to let you through this area in peace.
9	Defeat 25 Monsters		The last of the lizardfolk warriors make a defiant stand.
10	Defeat the Lizardfolk Leader		The lizardfolk leader needs to save face in front of his tribe. Too bad this fight won't go the way he expects.
Bruenor:	Looks like that big beggar missed tha memo on lettin' us pass in peace. Well, mayhap he'll remember us next time.
11	Defeat 25 Monsters		Beasts attracted to the sound of the lizardfolk battle press in.
Bruenor:	I seen some strange creatures in this jungle, but a bird that big is plain unnatural.
Nayeli:	That's a dragon, Bruenor. I wonder what could have killed it?
Jarlaxle:	I can see a few potential nominees...
12	Defeat 25 Monsters		A wide sinkhole opens up in the jungle, with the bones of an enormous creature thrust up from the muddy ground within. A tribe of goblins are the apparent defenders of this place.
13	Collect 25 Batiri Goblin Spears		This fight will end faster if the goblins can't rearm themselves. Grab their spears!
Bruenor:	Never met a goblin tribe that couldn't use with a little downsizin'.
Celeste:	There's too many, Bruenor. We're going to be overwhelmed!
Bruenor:	Ye got any ye can't handle, lass, just send 'em ta me.
14	Defeat 25 Monsters		The more goblins you drive before you, the more seem to emerge from the jungle to take their place.
Goblin Warlock:	You trespass on sacred ground! You stand before the bones of the great dragon Needle, and the mighty Batiri tribe whose spears brought the beast down!
Celeste:	I saw those bones during the fight. I would guess that poor dragon was eaten alive by quippers.
Goblin Warlock:	... The mighty Batiri might have had some small help.
15	Defeat the Batiri Goblin Warlock		The warlock leader of the goblin tribe stands before you, defiant to the end.
Asharra:	We would do best to avoid the territory around the river gorges.
Azaka:	Agreed. We'll head toward the coast from here.
16	Defeat 25 Monsters		Away from Needle's Bones, your course takes you northeast.
17	Defeat 25 Monsters		The jungle grows less dense as you push on—but no less dangerous.
Bruenor:	Look there! I just saw giant snakes watchin' through them trees.
Jarlaxle:	Odd. I thought I saw warriors on the move.
Celeste:	Oh, no...
18	Defeat 25 Monsters		The beasts and goblins of the jungle have apparently just been a warm-up for Chult's greatest threat—the treacherous yuan-ti!
19	Collect 25 Yuan-ti Idols		The serpent folk are driven by their ancient superstitions. Collecting their idols will distract them from the fight.
Jarlaxle:	There! The leader.
Celeste:	That's a mind whisperer - a powerful yuan-ti spellcaster. Watch yourselves.
Yuan-ti:	Ah, interlopersss... You have nothing to fear... In fact, you may give thanksss to us... For I have seen your future that might have come to pass in Omu... Better for you to die here today.
Bruenor:	'Nuff o' tha prophecy makin', snakeskin. Let's see if ye fight any better than ye talk.
20	Defeat the Yuan-ti Mind Whisperer		The mind whisperer that leads these yuan-ti wants a few words with you. A few last words...
21	Defeat 25 Monsters		Each time you think the jungle is coming to an end, it surprises you.
Bruenor:	Thinkin' I might need a rest outta this heat. I'm seein' odd things.
Azaka:	Your eyes are fine, friend dwarf. This is the Narwhal, or what's left of her. She's a landmark of sorts.
Nayeli:	And we're seemingly not the only ones passing this way...
22	Defeat 25 Monsters		A most unexpected sight opens up before you—the wreck of a seafaring galleon, long miles from the coast.
Celeste:	What are these creatures?
Azaka:	Vegepygmies. They are sapient folk unique to Chult, but more plant than animal.
Nayeli:	If we can find a way to get past them without killing them, let's do so.
23	Collect 25 Vegepygmy Treasure		The vegepygmies need a distraction. Claim their treasures!
24	Defeat 25 Monsters		As tough as foes three times their size, the vegepygmies are relentless in their attempts to force you back.
Nayeli:	It looks as though that one's the leader. And he's taken a dislike to us.
Jarlaxle:	No... not all of us. It's Azaka he's concerned with. I wonder why?
Azaka:	These creatures know nothing of me. Let's finish this.
25	Defeat the Vegepygmy Chief		The vegepygmy chief steps up to lead his strange folk in a final assault.
26	Defeat 25 Monsters		Continuing to bear northeast will bring you to the shore—and out of this accursed jungle at last.
27	Defeat 25 Monsters		The jungles of Chult are reluctant to see you leave—at least not without a final fight.
Jarlaxle:	No sign of the coast yet, but I can scent the sea air at last. What a disappointment it'll be to not have every living thing in this jungle trying to kill us.
Bruenor:	Hey, ye hear a buzzin'?
28	Defeat 25 Monsters		The foliage thins as you draw closer to the water.
Celeste:	Gods! That stench...
Bruenor:	No way back means goin' through. But watch them flies don't eat ye alive!
29	Defeat 1 Rotting Stegosaurus Corpse		The way ahead is clear—and is just as clearly blocked by a stegosaurus corpse. Push through!
30	Defeat the Swarm of Flies		Hidden within the corpse where they were feeding, more flies surround you as a ravenous swarm!
Bruenor:	Ha! No flies on this dwarf.
Jarlaxle:	And how long have you been waiting to make that joke?
Bruenor:	Been thinkin' on it awhile, I won't lie.
31	Defeat 25 Monsters		The last leg of your journey will be no less challenging than the path that brought you here.
Jarlaxle:	I look back fondly on the days when the creatures I love to eat weren't trying to eat me instead.
Bruenor:	Ye eat monkey? Elves are a strange sort.
32	Defeat 25 Monsters		Giant crabs threaten you from the surf. Flying monkeys attack from the jungle. Push past them all!
33	Collect 25 Crab Legs		The legs of these giant crabs will make a much-needed meal when the fight is done.
Jarlaxle:	Surrounded by food and no chance to stop fighting. I've never been so hungry in my life.
Celeste:	Try to focus, would you?
34	Defeat 25 Monsters		Giant flies normally feast on offal along the beach, but these ones are favoring a more mobile meal.
Bruenor:	This crab pack's got someone in charge.
Asharra:	And it looks like he's got a few points to make.
Bruenor:	'Ere, now! I was gonna say that!
Jarlaxle:	You see, Asharra? The time you've spent adventuring with us has taught you well.
35	Defeat the Giant Spiked Crab		A giant spiked crab joins the fight alongside its more numerous kin. Time to get cracking!
Celeste:	A bit more cover would be welcome.
Jarlaxle:	Just do your best giant crab impression. We'll be there in no time.
36	Defeat 25 Monsters		Port Castigliar is little more than open beach with a few huts. You'll need to move stealthily—and hope the continued attacks of giant crabs don't give you away.
37	Defeat 25 Monsters		More crabs press in. Fight your way past them!
Bruenor:	Them pirates has seen us. Time to stop with bein' all stealthy.
Jarlaxle:	Seriously? You've been shouting like a maniac the entire way down the beach.
Bruenor:	Yeah, but I kept me head down.
38	Defeat 25 Monsters		The huts of Port Castigliar are in sight! But as you feared, the pirates have noted your approach.
Nayeli:	It looks like we interrupted an unloading operation. Let's see if these brigands value their gold more than their lives.
Bruenor:	By all me forebears, I hope that's a choice I never have ta make...
39	Collect 25 Small Treasure Chests		The only thing pirates love more than a good fight is their treasure. Grab the chests they carry to distract them.
Bruenor:	A mimic! Now there's a sight fer a dungeon-lovin' dwarf's sore eyes.
Celeste:	I'm not sure getting reacquainted is a good idea.
Nayeli:	Too late!
40	Defeat the Greater Mimic		It looks like one group of sailors grabbed the wrong chest. And that chest is now trying to grab you!
Asharra:	Look! That vessel is the pirate flagship. They'll have had no time to move the princess yet. I warrant we'll find her there.
Bruenor:	Only a few pirates between us and it. Job's practically done.
Jarlaxle:	Remind me to borrow 'a few' gold from you at the earliest opportunity.
41	Defeat 25 Monsters		In the distance, you can see the pirate captain's ship. No time to waste!
42	Defeat 25 Monsters		Realizing the futility of taking you on hand-to-hand, new waves of pirates hang back to harry you with crossbows.
Bruenor:	Get out here and fight, ye dogs! Damn cowards hidin' behind yer little bolt shooters.
Nayeli:	If they won't stand against us, we'll take the fight to them.
43	Collect 25 One-Handed Crossbows		Teach these pirate snipers a lesson. They won't use those crossbows again!
44	Defeat 25 Monsters		A last wave of pirates stands between you and the ship. No mercy!
First Mate:	My thanks for the workout you've given my crew. Now drop your weapons and we'll discuss the terms of your surrender.
Bruenor:	Ye sure ye been watchin' tha same fight we've been havin'? Yer crew that's still standin' should consider themselves lucky and think about takin' a long walk up tha beach.
First Mate:	Clearly, you know nothing of the pirates' code, adventurer. So let me explain it to you. All hands! A chest of gold to the one who brings me the dwarf's head!
45	Defeat the First Mate		The ship's first mate thinks she can inspire her crew to stand against you.
46	Defeat 25 Monsters		Getting onto the ship is the first step. Now to fight your way past its defenders.
Nayeli:	Judging by the number of guards on this ship, Asharra's guess was right. The princess is here somewhere.
Bruenor:	Gonna be hard to find 'er in all this clutter. Time to clear tha decks!
47	Defeat 25 Monsters		No matter how many you lay out, more sailors keep coming. And those flying monkeys are becoming a real nuisance.
Bruenor:	These monkeys is makin' monkeys o' us! I ever find out who put wings on 'em, I'll be givin' 'em a piece o' me mind.
Celeste:	Fighting us is just a game to them. So let's play it their way.
48	Collect 25 Monkey Hats		Unusual foes call for unusual tactics. Grab the flying monkeys' hats to distract them!
49	Defeat 25 Monsters		Your foes rally for a final surge, but this fight has turned against them.
Pirate Captain:	Ye should know that I've got a soft spot for them that proves themselves in fightin'. Throw yerselves on me mercy now, and ye might find yerselves with a place in me crew.
Bruenor:	What kinda accent is that? Can't understand a word he's sayin'!
Nayeli:	It's the universal language of the liar and coward. I'll give this one an elocution lesson he won't forget.
50	Defeat the Pirate Captain		The captain of the pirates looks like he can handle himself in single combat. But that cannon he carries shows he has no intention of letting you get that close!
Jarlaxle:	It's a pity that cannon didn't survive the fight. There's a pack of flying monkeys back on the beach that I'd love to introduce it to.
Asharra:	My friends, Princess Mwaxanaré is here. The lost heir of Omu is safe.
Nayeli:	We had best get moving if we hope to keep her so. Though perhaps the return trip to Kir Sabal will be slightly less daunting than our road here.
Bruenor:	Oi! What a thing ta say!
Celeste:	You'll survive one uneventful trip through the jungle, Bruenor. Besides, if Mwaxanaré and the aarakocra can tell us what we hope to learn of Omu, I have a feeling there'll be plenty of adventure ahead.
