Transcript[]
| Negotiate a peace between the Korreds and Brigganocks of Yon. | ||||||
| Area | Goal | Quests & Cinematics | ||||
Celeste: |
That Jabberwock was fierce! Where did it come from? | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
I mean I think we can guess. Where does all the bad stuff in the land of Yon come from? Endelyn Moongrave. | |||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
You'd guess wrong then, Champions. That beastie's from another time and another mistress. I was wondering if you'd get this far. | |||||
Bruenor: |
It's tha thief of Yon! Tha one from tha carnival! Gleam's detached shadow! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
We met your original body. She's a lot less annoying. | |||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
And a lot less deadly. Oh well. I do hope you make it to Endelyn adventurers, so I can watch her and her sisters stuff each one of you. You'll have to get by these vultures first though. Ta-ta! | |||||
| 1 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Gleam's Detached Shadow! You should catch her for Gleam! But vultures descend from the fey beacons' summits to drive you off! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
Well she took off quick. Cursed thief. Sounds like all three hags might be here at Motherhorn. | |||||
Yorven: |
Good. Then we will snuff out the evil threatening to burn Prismeer's last vestiges of goodness away--all in one swift strike. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
...How are you making the lighting flash RIGHT when you finish? | |||||
Nat: |
[signs] Minsc, the portal is fading. We'll be able to find another way home right? I don't want to leave without Jenks and Squiddly. And I don't feel good about leaving Prismeer to the hags. | |||||
Minsc: |
That's because you are a hero! And heroes don't abandon people to evil. We'll find a way home, once we've triumphed. | |||||
Boo: |
Squeak! | |||||
| 2 | Defeat 25 Enemies | More vultures circle your party, the shadows of past goblins creeping from the rocky outcroppings! Weapons up! | ||||
![]() Dottie: |
I be-leaf we've found them at last! Well met, Champions! | |||||
![]() Gleam: |
Have you found the brigganocks yet? | |||||
Blooshi: |
We found them but Minsc scared them off by being desperate. | |||||
Minsc: |
I just asked whether they had a secret tunnel! | |||||
![]() Dottie: |
...You can't just ASK someone whether they have a secret tunnel! | |||||
| 3 | Collect 25 Vulture Feathers | Pluck those vultures! | ||||
Celeste: |
Your shadow was just here, Gleam. She makes it sound like Motherhorn is well-defended. | |||||
![]() Gleam: |
My shadow? Oh if only we'd been a little faster. I could have caught her and reattached my shadow once and for all! | |||||
![]() Dottie: |
Taking that minion from Creeping Lyn's army would be quite the blow. She's a thorn in our sides for sure! | |||||
![]() Star: |
[indicates] There's shadows here! | |||||
Minsc: |
Those aren't Gleam's shadows, Star, but they're definitely dangerous! Look out! | |||||
| 4 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Shadows lurk in the cracks of Yon's rocky peaks -- don't let them darken your path! | ||||
Celeste: |
If you two can help us find the brigganocks and convince them to let us use their tunnel to Motherhorn, we'll help you find your shadow and reattach it. | |||||
![]() Gleam: |
Gladly -- as much as I want my shadow and my sister back, Endelyn Moongrave must be stopped. | |||||
![]() Dottie: |
I think the brigganocks will be rooting for your success! They want to get rid of the hag as mulch as anyone! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
It's going to be a lot of this, isn't it? | |||||
![]() Dottie: |
Don't worry. It grows on you! | |||||
![]() Gleam: |
The brigganocks' mine is this way, around the peak and -- | |||||
Blooshi: |
Eep! One of those bear-owl things like in Thither! And it's MAD. | |||||
| 5 | Defeat the Crazed Owlbear | A crazed owlbear barrels toward you, its howls lost in the crash of thunder! Stand firm! | ||||
Nayeli: |
We're sure these brigganocks aren't working for Endelyn Moongrave? | |||||
![]() Dottie: |
You can be-leaf me...no wait, I already did that one. I'm not pollen your leg! | |||||
Nayeli: |
They attacked us before. | |||||
![]() Gleam: |
They're rather defensive creatures, protective of their space. You might have been close to one of their tunnels. | |||||
![]() Korred: |
Did you say brigganocks? Hey! Korreds! These big ones are in league with the brigganocks! Get 'em! | |||||
| 6 | Defeat 25 Enemies | These korreds and their raven companions think you're the enemy! Drive them back! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Now just a moment! We ain't in league with anybody, cept ourselves! | |||||
Blooshi: |
And this skull I found, but that's just me. | |||||
Bruenor: |
What've ye got against tha brigganocks anyhow? | |||||
![]() Korred: |
What've we got? What've we got? Villainy! Calumny! Don't act like you don't know! | |||||
Blooshi: |
Okay. We TOTALLY know. Yeah. It's so obvious. | |||||
![]() Korred: |
YOU ADMIT IT! Ravens! Attack! | |||||
| 7 | Defeat 25 Enemies | These korreds are spoiling for a fight! They won't listen to reason! See if they'll listen to your axe! | ||||
Blooshi: |
Well, THAT backfired! | |||||
Celeste: |
The wind's picking up again! We're going to be blown off the cliff! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Those hairy little guys have plenty of rope! Quick! Grab some and tie down! | |||||
| 8 | Collect 25 Korred Ropes | The winds of Yon scour the mountains and sweep the unwary to their doom! Gather some rope to tie yourselves safely down! | ||||
| 9 | Defeat 25 Enemies | More korreds join the fierce battle, dancing their way across the windy path! | ||||
Celeste: |
We need to get past these korreds to get to the secret tunnel. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Pretty sure this path leads back inta tha valley we went through before. | |||||
![]() Gleam: |
There's a trail off Lockbury Henge that should lead us to the brigganocks. It means more korreds, but we won't have to get out the climbing gear. | |||||
Bruenor: |
I think we can handle more korreds, lass. Only I wish I knew what they thought we'd done! | |||||
Blooshi: |
You could ask those korreds. Hey look it's Not-Grunch again -- oh no wait it doesn't like that! I forgot! | |||||
| 10 | Defeat the Galeb Duhr | The galeb duhr is still here -- and still angry! Get ready to fight! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
They sure do like whipping that hair around! | |||||
![]() Dottie: |
Korred hair is powerful, magical stuff! It's stronger than steel and they can move it too! Creeping Lyn likes to use it for her contraptions. | |||||
Nayeli: |
They give the hag their hair for building contraptions with? Outrageous! | |||||
![]() Dottie: |
You should take stalk of what you know about the hags -- they're thieves! Endelyn sends shadows to steal the korreds' hair. | |||||
Blooshi: |
Yeah, but we're not stealing hair! Why are they throwing rocks at us? | |||||
![]() Dottie: |
...You literally just took their ropes. Their ropes are made of their hair. That seems like enough to make them angry! | |||||
| 11 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Korreds are known for their magical hair, which makes for the strongest of ropes! Or whips! Defend against them! | ||||
![]() Dead Ringer: |
We are the Dead Ringers! We seek to wake the spirits of our ancestors. To commune with them! To gain their knowledge! To rob -- hey! | |||||
Minsc: |
Look! It's those goblins with the bells again! | |||||
![]() Dead Ringer: |
You're not getting past us this time! | |||||
![]() Korred: |
These are our enemies! Back off, goblins! | |||||
![]() Dead Ringer: |
Out of the way, hairballs! | |||||
Minsc: |
People! People! We can take both of you. We are heroes! No waiting! | |||||
| 12 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The dance of the korreds is usually joyful and raucous -- this one involves more thrown rocks! | ||||
Celeste: |
I think the korreds have gotten the wrong idea about us. We need to stop them fighting. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Ah, the good old 'steal the enemies' projectiles' plan. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Gotta love a classic! | |||||
Celeste: |
I meant we should explain our quest to them and get them to see we're on the same side. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Call that plan B. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Grab tha rocks! | |||||
| 13 | Collect 25 Korred Rocks | Getting pelted by rocks makes it hard to find the path! Take those rocks from the korreds! | ||||
| 14 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The dead ringers return! Stop these goblins from forcing you off the path! | ||||
Celeste: |
Gentle korreds! We're not your enemies! We're also trying to defeat the hag! | |||||
![]() Korred: |
They're conscripting! | |||||
Celeste: |
No! We're just passing through on our way to Motherhorn. | |||||
Minsc: |
And we are not asking if you have a secret tunnel. | |||||
![]() Korred: |
They're looking for the secret tunnel! Brigganock collaborators! Summon the wind! | |||||
Bruenor: |
Wait, they dinna like tha brigganocks? What fer? Why do -- Oh Moradin's hairy rump! That ain't tha wind! That's an air elemental! | |||||
| 15 | Defeat the Air Elemental | The wind itself comes to battle you in the form of an air elemental! Keep your guard up! | ||||
Yorven: |
We're going to be wading through korreds from here to Motherhorn. Worse, if they're right and the brigganocks are allied with the Hourglass Coven, it shall be an endless battle to the peak. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
...You're timing it to the lightning flashes, aren't you? | |||||
![]() Gleam: |
The korreds have a queen who might be able to give us more information. We should talk to her. | |||||
Nat: |
[signs] Minsc, do you see what my egg is doing? It looks like it's flashing now! It's almost like there's lightning inside the egg! | |||||
Boo: |
Squeak! | |||||
![]() Star: |
[indicates] Your 'ouch-friend' is a lightning friend? Nice! | |||||
Minsc: |
I agree, Nat. It seems like the crocodile egg is absorbing more magic from this realm, just like it did in Thither. | |||||
Nat: |
[signs] Is it going to hatch soon? Maybe we'll get a lightning-spitting crocodile that eats hags! | |||||
Minsc: |
Put it away and keep it safe. We don't want those korreds or goblins to break it before it's ready to hatch! | |||||
| 16 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The dead ringer goblins harry you as you continue on your path to the korred queen -- and the korreds fight to block you! Press on! | ||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
What's all this? I'm trying to play a nice game of Crowns, and you lot are starting trouble! Who are you people anyway! | |||||
![]() Korred: |
They're spies of the brigganocks! Hag collaborators! | |||||
Celeste: |
Your Majesty, we are not! We're on a quest to defeat the Hourglass Coven and restore Prismeer -- and save our two young friends. We have nothing to do with Endelyn Moongrave's efforts, nor those of her sisters! | |||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
Yet you're traveling with her most notorious thief. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Technically we're traveling with the body that cast the shadow that became Endelyn's most notorious thief. | |||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
Hmmm...She does seem a lot more solid than when I've encountered her before. But then you've also brought this very rude and noisy band of goblins into my court! Which seems pretty wicked if you ask me! | |||||
| 17 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Queen Argantle is willing to hear your entreaty, but the goblins are making you look bad! Fight them off and prove you're on the korreds' side! | ||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
Hm. So you aren't with the goblins either, eh? What about these accusations of brigganock sympathies? | |||||
Blooshi: |
I mean I'm sorry they're so small and mousy-looking. But we just want to use their secret tunnel to get into Motherhorn. | |||||
Celeste: |
Why do you have such animosity toward the brigganocks, Your Majesty? | |||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
Are you serious? They build all of Endelyn Moongrave's horrible contraptions! | |||||
![]() Dead Ringer: |
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Come on, shadows of our ancestors! Make these jerks suffer! | |||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
The hag's minions hunt us down to cut our magic hair, and -- | |||||
![]() Dead Ringer: |
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! | |||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
And use the hair to make ropes, which -- | |||||
![]() Dead Ringer: |
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! | |||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
Will someone shut these dratted goblins up!? | |||||
| 18 | Collect 25 Bells | The clamor of the dead ringers is too loud to talk over! Snatch those bells and get a little peace! | ||||
| 19 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The dead ringers summon the shadows of their ancestors to join their attack! Thwart their efforts! | ||||
Nilbog: |
Ya haha! Nobody's gonna shut ME up! | |||||
Bruenor: |
That nilbog again? Can't it stay gone? | |||||
Nilbog: |
Wherever there are goblins and a chance for mischief, I'll be there! Wherever someone's trying to have a serious conversation, and there are noisemakers around, I'll be there! Wherever there are precarious stacks of objects next to a slope -- | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Nope, done with this. Fighting time. | |||||
Minsc: |
YESSS! Eat sword, Evil! | |||||
| 20 | Defeat the Nilbog | That nilbog has returned to wreak more havoc! Defeat that goblin trickster spirit! | ||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
Thank you, Champions. Who would have expected a nilbog among the goblins? | |||||
Blooshi: |
To be fair, at this point we should be expecting it. | |||||
Celeste: |
If you point us toward the brigganocks' mine, we can find our way into Motherhorn and stop the hag from building more contraptions and stealing your hair. | |||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
Throw in some smashed brigganock minions, and you've got a deal! | |||||
![]() Korred: |
All right! Here you are! This is the entrance to the brigganocks' mine. Be very careful! They're evil, tricky creatures! | |||||
Yorven: |
Hold! I see something lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce! | |||||
![]() Korred: |
Oh, no, no, no. Those aren't brigganocks! Those are stone korred statues we put here to scare those wicked brigganocks out of leaving their mine! Pretty clever, huh? | |||||
Nayeli: |
It sounds like you're torturing them. | |||||
![]() Korred: |
Well...but they're basically the hag when you think about it, so it's fair. Anyway, good luck! Watch out for ravens! | |||||
| 21 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Ravens swoop down from the crags over the brigganocks' cave to peck at you! Cut them down! | ||||
| 22 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Ravens are clever, gregarious birds -- and these have all agreed to dive-bomb you! | ||||
| 23 | Collect 25 Bat Wings | The cave is dark -- and full of bats! Get those bat wings for Celeste's collection! | ||||
Nayeli: |
I'm concerned about what we've agreed to. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Why's that, lass? | |||||
Nayeli: |
What Dottie said before: The hags aren't known for their cooperation. They're stealing the korreds' hair. Are we sure that Endelyn's not stealing the brigganocks' labor too? | |||||
Celeste: |
It's definitely possible. There seem to be three sorts of groups in these places: those who are being forced to work for the hags, those who are taking the opportunity to do evil, and those who want more than anything to rescue Prismeer. | |||||
Blooshi: |
Which group am I in? The cool one I hope. | |||||
Celeste: |
...We're going to put a pin in that conversation right now and deal with these cave creatures, all right? | |||||
| 24 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Bats and giant spiders lurk in the darkness of the brigganocks' cave! Fight them off! | ||||
| 25 | Defeat the Giant Web Spitting Spider | A giant web-spitting spider lowers itself down from the dark stalactites of the cavern's roof! Don't let it wrap you in its webs! | ||||
Nat: |
[signs] What's that light up ahead? Something shiny? | |||||
Minsc: |
Sparkling monsters?! | |||||
Boo: |
Squeak! | |||||
Minsc: |
Well of course we could just go see, but the anticipation is its own excitement! | |||||
Celeste: |
So many gems! This must be what the brigganocks are mining. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Possibly for the hag. Possibly as slave labor. I don't know why anyone thinks the Feywild is better than the Underdark. | |||||
Celeste: |
What are these? I've never seen a gemstone quite like this. | |||||
![]() Brigganock: |
Get away from the wish stones! | |||||
Bruenor: |
Tha what? | |||||
![]() Brigganock: |
To arms! To arms! The wicked korreds have sent adventurers to steal the wish stones! | |||||
| 26 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The brigganocks' mine glitters with jewels, and your sudden appearance has alerted the miners! | ||||
Blooshi: |
Wait, do you guys not have wish stones? | |||||
Bruenor: |
Nay. What's a wish stone? | |||||
Blooshi: |
It's a stone that's a wish. Like I guess someone on your plane makes a wish, it appears in the mine, the brigganocks dig it up and polish it and sell them. They're pretty tacky really. Too bright. I'm surprised nobody sells them back to you all. | |||||
Nat: |
[signs] Wait do they make the wishes come true? Can we find mine? Because I NEED to be able to make cakes appear on any plate. With frosting. | |||||
Blooshi: |
Awww, I wish they worked like that. I want cake now. | |||||
![]() Brigganock: |
They're sieging the mine! They have the thief with them! | |||||
![]() Gleam: |
No! No! I promise! That isn't me -- Endelyn stole my shadow! | |||||
![]() Brigganock: |
A shadowless thief! Defend the mine from the hag's minion! | |||||
| 27 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The brigganocks seem afraid of Gleam and unwilling to hear you out! Defend yourselves! | ||||
Minsc: |
That looks like a chasm up ahead. How much of a running start will I need to leap it? | |||||
Celeste: |
MINSC! | |||||
Boo: |
Squeak! | |||||
Minsc: |
Hmmm...True. We are not all great leapers and not all small enough to ride on my shoulders while I leap it. | |||||
Celeste: |
Looks like the brigganocks have the sort of guests that need climbing gear. Let's start with that. | |||||
| 28 | Collect 25 Pitons | You'll need climbing gear to get across that ravine! Gather some pitons! | ||||
Nayeli: |
Did you hear that brigganock call Gleam the hag's minion? I think that cinches it -- they can't possibly be working for Endelyn Moongrave willingly! | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
Of course they aren't. Where'd you ever get an idea like that? | |||||
Bruenor: |
Who are ye? | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
The name's Molliver. You could say I'm the spokesperson for the brigganocks. Now I think you lot need to explain yourselves so I can decide whether I'm going to recommend they throw you into the ravine or not. | |||||
Celeste: |
We're looking for the tunnel into Motherhorn. The korreds told us that we could access it through the brigganock mines. | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
Ah, so you ARE working with the hag. | |||||
Celeste: |
What? No. Where did you get that idea? | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
The korreds give her their hair to build with. They torment the brigganocks so badly that they have to mine all day and night to drive the korreds away. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Yeah, all right, so what we've got here is a classic 'double paranoia villain manipulation'. The hag's thieves steals the korreds' hair for use in contraptions they're convinced the brigganocks are building for her. They try to keep the brigganocks in their mine. Except -- | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
What? No. The hag kidnaps the brigganocks to build those contraptions for her! Which...wow, sounds a lot like what the korreds are saying. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Right on target. So unless both the brigganocks and the korreds are working for Endelyn Moongrave and manipulating US into the middle of it, I'm going to say it's pretty certain they're both being terrified into thinking they're alone. I don't think the giant caterpillars are involved. They're just voracious. | |||||
| 29 | Defeat 25 Enemies | These giant caterpillars are voracious -- and there's not much here to eat but you! | ||||
| 30 | Defeat the Giant Centipede | The giant centipede scurries down the cavern wall, snapping its venomous pincers -- don't let it bite you in two! | ||||
![]() Molliver: |
Wow. All right, it sounds like I need to convene a meeting of the brigganocks to discuss all this. I suppose that means you need to get across the chasm -- Obud's the one you want to talk to. He's the oldest of the brigganocks and he knows where the secret tunnel is. I can lead you to the chasm, but I'll need to bring this information back to the brigganocks instead of going on with you. | |||||
Celeste: |
Thank you for your help, Molliver. | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
That's what heroes do. Not quite the same as it was in Valor's Call, but you know, the brigganocks need me. I'm doing something good here. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Wait! Ye're a member o' Valor's Call? Tha adventuring party? We met yer friend Elkhorn! | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
You've been to the Palace of Heart's Desire? Are they still safe? | |||||
Bruenor: |
Er, nay, we met him in Thither. 'Twas a prisoner o' Skabatha Nightshade's. We got him out though. He went off with that Warduke fella. | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
HE WENT OFF WITH WHO NOW? | |||||
| 31 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Your conversation is interrupted by a flock of agitated bats! Strike quickly! | ||||
Celeste: |
...so, yes, Warduke was most certainly a dangerous villain, but I think he might be turning over a new leaf. Especially with Elkhorn's help. | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
Well. I knew this place was weird, but I would never have guessed. Warduke turning over a new leaf. Huh. But he's not really smart or sneaky enough to be pulling a double-cross on Elkhorn. He didn't have a wizard with him, right? Obsessed with unicorns, big beard. | |||||
Celeste: |
...No? | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
All right then, yeah, no sneakiness. Phew. | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
Here's the chasm, Champions. Be careful crossing -- it's a long bridge and a longer fall. Good luck! | |||||
![]() Dottie: |
Let's go, people! No more mossing around! | |||||
| 32 | Defeat 25 Enemies | More bats swoop low over the Ravenwish Chasm, threatening to send you tumbling in! Hold your ground! | ||||
![]() Star: |
[indicates] Ooh, what are these? | |||||
Blooshi: |
Those? Well they look like uncut wish stones. But they're kind of murky looking. Oh! I bet these are the evil wish stones. | |||||
Minsc: |
The stones are evil? | |||||
Blooshi: |
No, the wishes. If you, like, wish to mind-control all the jerks in your village to go around acting like they're giant snails, wriggling around on the ground, it doesn't make a pretty wish stone. It makes one of these. | |||||
Nat: |
[signs] That's a very specific example. | |||||
Blooshi: |
Well, they were jerks. Anyway, these are supposed to go in the chasm I think. Let's see how long it takes to hear them hit! | |||||
| 33 | Collect 25 Malignant Wish Stones | Wishes for wicked things become malignant wish stones! These are waiting to be discarded -- gather them up! | ||||
| 34 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Flameskulls dart out of the darkness to force you off the bridge! Cut them down! | ||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
Well, well, well -- where do you think you're going? | |||||
![]() Gleam: |
Shadow! I can't let you keep harming people! You need to come back to me. | |||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
Oh okay, let me just give up my freedom and rejoin you -- Not happening. I like being a thief. I like being wicked. And I especially like throwing you off this bridge! | |||||
| 35 | Defeat the Gleam's Detached Shadow | Gleam's detached shadow doesn't seem to want a reunion -- or for you to make it to Motherhorn! Make a stand! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Blast! She's gettin' away! | |||||
Celeste: |
Let her go. We'll catch up to her soon enough. We need to talk to Obud about using the secret tunnel to Motherhorn first. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Well this here is a nice cavern. Bit o' a grotto, wouldn't ye say? | |||||
Celeste: |
I suppose. Where's Obud? | |||||
Bruenor: |
Got a good ratio o' stalagmites ta stalactites. Good flow in tha space. Ye could fit a small dwarf family in here. | |||||
Blooshi: |
How small do dwarves get? Smaller than brigganocks? | |||||
Celeste: |
Flameskulls! Flameskulls! Focus people! | |||||
| 36 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Flameskulls pursue you as you enter the grotto! Knock them from the air! | ||||
![]() Obud: |
Huh? Who's there? What are you people doing in my grotto? | |||||
Blooshi: |
Awww, his tiny house is on that pony's back! | |||||
![]() Obud: |
Where's that friendly shadow? She should have sent you back. I don't have any quests for you. Go away. | |||||
Celeste: |
Friendly shadow? You mean Endelyn's thief? | |||||
![]() Obud: |
What? No, no, no -- you're mistaken. She guards the bridge from those horrible korreds! if she hadn't come here, we'd never have realized their wicked ways. Now what have you done with her? | |||||
| 37 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The cavern's fauna dart out of the shadows to attack with tooth and claw! | ||||
![]() Gleam: |
Please, Obud, you must listen! That shadow was my own. Endelyn snipped her from me and made her into a thief. She's turned you against the korreds, but you're both victims of the hag! | |||||
![]() Obud: |
Hmmm, you do look very similar. But she's never stolen from ME. How could she be a thief? You sound like you're trying to trick me! Maybe YOU'RE the ones who work for the hag? Hmm? | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Double paranoia villain trap. Every time. | |||||
![]() Obud: |
Get out of here -- I don't want to have to feed you to the crabs. I have to EAT those crabs, and if I know you're what they ate, it's gonna be moss for weeks. Blech. | |||||
Blooshi: |
You just eat crabs and moss? Gross. | |||||
![]() Obud: |
What else would I get down here? | |||||
Nat: |
[signs] I have some candy from those goblins in Thither. | |||||
Blooshi: |
Ooh, do you want candy? It's great. It's sweet and sticky and comes in a ton of flavors. Do you want to -- hey! | |||||
Nat: |
[signs] Hey! Those crabs grabbed my candy! | |||||
| 38 | Collect 25 Lollipops | The crabs have stolen all the candy! Get it back so you can sweet-talk Obud! | ||||
Nat: |
[signs] Give him the candy! See if he likes it! | |||||
![]() Obud: |
Hmm. Mmmmph-mmm yummm. Schticky. | |||||
Nat: |
[signs] Taffy. It's super sticky. | |||||
![]() Obud: |
But tasty! Thank you, young lady. That was very kind. I think that you can't be so kind and also work for Endelyn Moongrave. There's some misunderstanding here I think we should work out. Let's find my shadow friend. | |||||
| 39 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Crabs snapping your feet, flying snakes diving at your head! It's chaos in here! Defend yourselves! | ||||
| 40 | Defeat the Flying Snake Swarm | The flying snakes have formed a swarm -- a twisting knot of reptiles attacking from above! Hold your position! | ||||
Celeste: |
There! That should allow us to cross the bridge again. | |||||
Blooshi: |
You sure have a lot of animals living in these caverns. | |||||
![]() Obud: |
We do all right. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
What's that racket? Someone's coming across the bridge. | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
Your Majesty, put the brigganock down! His name is Trig and he's very sensitive! | |||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
You! What is this? I thought you were going to clear these villains out so we could march on Motherhorn! | |||||
![]() Obud: |
Villains! We're not villains! Get out of my grotto or I'll sic my crabs on you! | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
He's very sensitive and he bites when he's scared! | |||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
Don't you threaten me! This one tried to threaten me and if you hag-lovers do anything I'll...I'll throw him off the bridge! Just see if I -- OUCH! He bit me! Korreds! Attack! | |||||
Nayeli: |
We can't kill the korreds -- this is all a big misunderstanding! Your Majesty you have to listen! | |||||
| 41 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The korreds aren't convinced the brigganocks aren't enemies! They're worked up and ready to attack! | ||||
| 42 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Defend the brigganocks from the frightened korreds! Surely you can find a path to peace! | ||||
![]() Obud: |
Your Majesty, these Champions have revealed we've been at each other's throats for no reason at all. My bridge's shadow guard told us YOU were working for the hag, selling her your hair to build those awful contraptions. | |||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
Lies! The hag assaults us and steals our magical hair to build the contraptions YOU design for her! | |||||
![]() Obud: |
But we don't! She kidnaps us and forces us to design and build them! These candy-gifting champions have made me see that we have been duped into hating each other, rather than focusing our anger TOGETHER on Endelyn Moongrave. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Double paranoia villain trap. | |||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
Wait, they gave you candy? | |||||
Minsc: |
This is very touching and also good progress for Good over Evil, which I am always in favor of, but we did not clear this cavern and there are giant spiders descending! | |||||
| 43 | Collect 25 Webs | Peace between the brigganocks and the korreds is finally at hand! But now spiders descend! Fight the spiders and gather their webs! | ||||
| 44 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Cave spiders hide in the darkness, dropping down on a single thread to seize their prey! Cut them down! | ||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
I think it's high time the korreds and the brigganocks made peace. | |||||
![]() Obud: |
I concur. From now on, our peoples will be united. By our desire to bring down Endelyn Moongrave. | |||||
![]() Queen Argantle: |
And our shared love of this land. And also candy. Thank you, Nat. | |||||
Nat: |
[signs] You're welcome. Minsc, can we get some more candy? They took it all. | |||||
Minsc: |
[signs] As soon as we can get not-cursed candy. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Bah! More spiders! Can we move this accord out o' tha way o' tha tarantula? | |||||
| 45 | Defeat the Tarantula | A tarantula skitters out from the shadows of the grotto to pounce on you! Take it out at the leg segments! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Ye get some big spiders down here. | |||||
![]() Obud: |
That we do! Save the carcass. They're pretty tasty when all you've had is crabs and moss. | |||||
| 46 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The korreds and the brigganocks are happy at last -- but you've still got to make your way to Motherhorn! Battle those pesky bats! | ||||
![]() Molliver: |
If you're heading on to the Palace of Heart's Desire, you'll probably run into the rest of Valor's Call. If you end up in the same sort of confusion as here, you can tell Ringlerun I vouch for you. Tell him he owes me for the tavern in Darmshall. He'll know what it means. | |||||
Celeste: |
Thank you for your help, and for the advice. | |||||
![]() Molliver: |
Thank you for helping sort out the hag's manipulations! Everything is going to be a little better now. Which will help because we're still dealing with these strangely aggressive bats! | |||||
| 47 | Defeat 25 Enemies | A group of bats is sometimes called a 'cauldron' -- well, stop this cauldron from chasing you away! | ||||
| 48 | Collect 25 Broken Stalagmites | Obud's grotto is littered with broken stalagmites now! Pick them up and clear the floor. | ||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
What a charming scene. I guess the jig is up. | |||||
![]() Obud: |
How could you! I thought we were friends! | |||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
More fool you, I suppose. Well, I'll just have to find a new way to do my job. But I can start with driving you Champions back off the bridge! | |||||
![]() Gleam: |
Stop right there! You're not going to hurt anyone else! | |||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
Oh no? Try me. By the way, your sister says hello. Pity you won't be around to hear more from her. Shadows! Get them! | |||||
| 49 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Gleam's shadow has returned -- and she's brought friends! Fight the shadows! | ||||
Celeste: |
Gleam's not alone this time! You can't defeat her. | |||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
We'll see about that! | |||||
| 50 | Defeat the Gleam's Detached Shadow | One last stand: Either you reunite Gleam and her shadow or you fall trying! | ||||
![]() Gleam: |
I...I think...My shadow's returned! It's back! I'm whole again! | |||||
Blooshi: |
And you don't feel...thief-ier right? | |||||
Celeste: |
I'm glad we could help you. We need to head on to Motherhorn now. | |||||
![]() Gleam: |
I owe you a debt of gratitude, Champions. I'll accompany you to Motherhorn. After all, I have one final thing that Creeping Lyn stole from me to collect: my sister Glister. | |||||
