The Rod of Seven Parts
Assemble the completed rod and discover what happens next.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Reya:	At last, we have all the pieces of the Rod of Seven Parts.
Astarion:	Finally. All that world-hopping was starting to disagree with my stomach.
Sgt. Knox:	All that's left to do now is to hand it over to the Wizards Three.
Kas:	Then we take the fight to Vecna and finish this.
Blooshi:	Aww, look! The Blood War followed us home!
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		Dispose of these vermin of Avernus!
Windfall:	Do we even have a plan to find the other Vecna? We have no idea where he is right now.
Astarion:	With your luck, Windfall, we should seriously consider throwing darts at a chart of the Great Wheel. It might work.
Vecna:	Not to worry. The other Vecna and I are echoes of one another. I know myself. I know where I would go. Leave it all to me.
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		They just keep coming. Rout these fiends!
Kas:	You seem determined, lich. There's a look in your eye I've not seen in a long time. Need I remind you of your powerless state, and what's at stake?
Vecna:	I am all too well aware. Know this, Kas: I will not suffer this pretender to my name. This so-called Emperor Vecna must be defeated, one way or another. Soon, this will all be over.
Sgt. Knox:	The fiends found their way into the pantry!
Astarion:	Why is it that everything that follows us back here tries to steal the food?
Blooshi:	Look, Alvina! Treats!
Reya:	Focus up! We don't want the wizards being distracted by hunger. We need their expertise for what comes next.
3	Collect 25 Wizard Snacks		Stop those snack bandits!
Alvina:	Mmm, delicious. This one has some quasit spittle on it.
Blooshi:	Ooh, let me try! I'll trade you this glob of dretch slime!
Vecna:	[Sighs, mutters to self] She looks happy. Very well.
Reya:	There's so many of them. Our work is never done.
Vecna:	Indeed. We're wasting time with this distraction. I'll take the rod pieces to the wizards. It's better than standing here and barking orders at you all. I may as well be useful.
Reya:	Hm. Good point. We'll wrap things up here and see you soon.
Kas:	[Narrows eyes] I'll go with him.
Reya:	No, Kas. I need you here. He's been through a lot with us. At this point, I think we can trust him to handle a small task.
Kas:	You don't know him like I do. [Frustrated growl] Fine. Lich! No. Vecna. Do not make me regret this.
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		Suppose I'll take the lead again, then. With me, friends! Charge!
Vecna:	[Starts to leave, pauses, turns around] One more thing. Blooshi? I've been a terrible warlock patron to you. I see that now. You deserve better.
Blooshi:	Uh, okay? Whatever you say, Skull Guy. Come on, Alvina, let's build a house with the abyssal chicken bones!
Alvina:	Ooh, find me one with some gristle.
Vecna:	[Whispers] Treat her well, Kittenlord. [Leaves]
Sgt. Knox:	Rally to me! Break their ranks! Charge! Chaaarge!
Astarion:	I miss Vecna already. Give it a rest, will you, darling? It's a bit much.
Reya:	I'll take it from here. Get ready, everyone. Something bigger is stepping through the portal now.
5	Defeat the Shoosuva		That's a shoosuva demon! Ready yourselves, Champions!
Explosion:	BOOM!!!
Astarion:	What the hells was that?
Tasha:	[Enraged] You monster!
Alustriel:	[Out of breath] We trusted you!
Sgt. Knox:	It came from the workshop!
Reya:	I have a bad feeling about this. Come on!
Reya:	Oh, Zariel, no.
Sgt. Knox:	This place looks like it was hit by a tornado. What happened here?
Kas:	What do you think? The same thing that always happens. Betrayal.
Astarion:	We don't know that for certain. Where are the wizards? We heard them shouting.
Windfall:	First things first. I see rogue fire elementals, and they're getting closer.
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		Keep those elementals away! I burn easily, darlings. Trust me.
Injured Mordenkainen:	[Beleaguered] Champions! There you are!
Reya:	Mordenkainen! Where are the other wizards? Where's Vecna?
Injured Mordenkainen:	[Disgusted] That villain assembled the rod and attuned to it. He attacked us and fled. [Worried] Even with his magic sealed, the rod is powerful enough to make him a formidable threat. Tasha and Alustriel are convalescing in their chambers. They can barely move.
Reya:	[Angry disbelief] No. No, there must be some mistake. He traveled with us. He helped people. He was making progress. Why!?
Kas:	[Tired disappointment] This is what he does, Reya. He lies. The only mistake here was us giving the lich a chance.
Windfall:	What's with the elementals, old man?
Injured Mordenkainen:	The energy unleashed in our brief battle left chaos in its wake. Please, help me. In my current state, I cannot stop them alone.
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		What are they all talking about? Oh well. Hey Alvina, let's play with fire!
Injured Mordenkainen:	Curses. The sanctum has stone golems to defend it in case of an emergency.
Astarion:	Why do you say that like it's a bad thing?
Injured Mordenkainen:	Because they only listen to Alustriel. Their standing orders are to attack anything and anyone that isn't her. We'll need to destroy them, unfortunately.
Blooshi:	Hear that, Alvina? We get to knock things over!
8	Collect 25 Animated Stones		Ooh, when the rock things fall down they leave pretty magic stones! Fetch them for me.
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		Ugh, these golems are slowing us down. We need a plan. Deal with them. I'm thinking.
Windfall:	Got it. Hey, Feathers. If the rod was strong enough to leave magic hanging in the air for this long, we could follow it to track your lich.
Reya:	That's brilliant! Let's hurry up and finish things here before the trail goes cold.
Reya:	Alright, team. I'm taking command. We need to clean up this mess, then find Vecna and take back the rod before he makes everything worse.
10	Defeat the Living Blade of Disaster		The ambient arcane energy has formed into a wicked blade. Protect Mordenkainen!
Reya:	That should do it. The sanctum is still in shambles, but at least the wizards will be safe now. We need to move.
Windfall:	Ah, Sigil. Cesspool of the multiverse. Ready to see how annoying my good luck can really be?
Sgt. Knox:	It can't really be that bad, can it?
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		Where did these bandits come from? Out of our way, blackguards!
Astarion:	Let me guess. You know these brigands?
Windfall:	I've had some business here in the past with a rival casino owner. This gang owes me some coin. How lucky our paths crossed, right?
Sgt. Knox:	Ah. Alright, I get it now.
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		These bandits are causing a scene. We need to take control of the situation before we attract unwanted attention.
Harmonium Captain:	Stop right there, criminal scum! You've violated the law!
Windfall:	[Sarcastic] Oh, how LUCKY the Harmonium shows up to arrest these bandits!
Reya:	Officers! These scoundrels waylaid us. You're here to arrest them, right?
Harmonium Captain:	You're ALL under arrest for disturbing the peace!
Windfall:	[Prolonged groan] Every. Single. Time.
Astarion:	Honestly, how do you live like this? It must be exhausting.
13	Collect 25 Manacles		We don't have time for this. I can't believe I'm the one saying it, but we need to resist arrest! Take their manacles!
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		Push them back! They don't realize the importance of our mission!
Harmonium Captain:	You're all going away for a long, long time!
Reya:	Stop! You don't understand! We're here to vanquish evil and protect our home!
Harmonium Captain:	Vigilante justice, eh? Save it for the courts!
15	Defeat the Harmonium Captain		I'm really sorry about this, but we can't let the Harmonium stop us now. Knock them out!
Windfall:	I'll assume that you're not really all that familiar with Sigil, so let me be the one to tell you that fighting the Harmonium is a bad idea. More will come. A lot more. We need to get out of here.
Reya:	Which way? This city is a maze.
Kas:	Follow me. I smell the rod's magic, mixed with the stink of Vecna's vile soul. This way.
Astarion:	Is that a vampire thing? When do I get that?
Morte:	Whoa! Watch it, berks! I'm floatin' here!
Blooshi:	Cool! Hey Skull Guy, it's another Skull Guy! Skull Guy? Wait, where'd he go?
Reya:	Blooshi, you can't be serious. Were you not paying attention?
Harmonium Peacekeeper:	Find them! They can't have gone far!
Morte:	Outsiders bangin' around the Cage, eh? Whatever your ride, scan this. It's too late to garnish 'em, so you better stop rattlin' your boneboxes if you wanna give these Hardheads the laugh, or you'll have to pay the music!
Astarion:	Amazing. I didn't understand a single word of that.
Morte:	Do you wanna end up deaders? Enough wigwag! Get outta here! I'm headed back to my kip. [Floats away] Sheesh! Poor sods.
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		These Harmonium are relentless. Keep fighting!
Windfall:	We need to lose them. Head for the rooftops! They can't climb in that armor.
Blooshi:	Can we stop somewhere? I'm getting hungry and I'm gonna whine about it until someone gives me food. Right, Alvina?
Alvina:	[Adorable nodding]
Windfall:	Careful what you wish for, kid. Especially around me.
Gertrube:	Look, look! Our first guests! You're a bit early, dearies. We're still setting up shop, you see.
Sgt. Knox:	Bakers? On a roof? That's new.
Windfall:	[Deadly serious] You all need to listen to me. Do NOT take anything they try to offer you.
Gertrube:	Oh don't be like that, dearies! You'll be perfect taste-testers for our latest batch of goodies! Now, open wide! [Maniacal laugh]
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		We don't have time to sample any suspicious pastries! Clear a path through these crazed bakers!
18	Collect 25 Bags of Flour		These rooftop chefs are up to no good. Take their flour to foil their scheme!
Gertrube:	[Cold malice] We'll remember this. We'll remember YOU. Cakers! Roll out!
Astarion:	Well, that was strange. Shall we?
Wererat:	Wrong turn, berks.
Astarion:	[Exasperated] What is it now?
Wererat:	You're disturbin' a delicate operation, see? [Whistles] Give 'em the squeaks!
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		Never a dull moment in the City of Doors. Exterminate these vermin!
Corvus:	I needed this crew. You fools have compromised my mission. My master will be displeased. Who sent you?
Blooshi:	Uhh, Mordecai, Ken, something?
Reya:	Hush! We have no quarrel with you, saer. We're chasing after--
Corvus:	Mordenkainen? Interesting. Time to die.
20	Defeat the Assassin		This one looks deadly. Get ready!
Reya:	Listen! Whoever you are, whatever you're up to, the Champions are not here for you. We have more important things to do.
Corvus:	The Champions, is it? I'll remember this slight. May we meet again. [Vanishes into shadows]
Astarion:	Can we PLEASE go five minutes without earning a grudge!?
Reya:	At least we've shaken the Harmonium. Let's get off these rooftops.
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		Keep up the pace! We can't let him get away!
Kas:	The rod's magic is thicker here. We're getting close. Stay alert.
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		Eyes open, people! He's around here somewhere!
Blooshi:	Oh, hey! There he is! Wait up, Skull Guy!
Vecna:	Already!? No! I'm done feeling powerless!
Blooshi:	Why's he running away from us? Or, floating. Whatever.
Windfall:	Okay, it was cute at first, but she's actually that dense?
Astarion:	[Shrugs] I'm told you get used to it.
Vecna:	[Thinking] They're catching up. I need a distraction.
Sketchy Merchant:	[Loudly complaining] Oh, man. I had a special delivery for some wizard's magical menagerie today, but the whole building exploded! Now what'll I do with all these Captive Arcane Beasts of Beauty and Great Exotic Specimens?
Vecna:	Sure. That'll work. [Points rod at cages]
Explosion:	BOOM!
Sketchy Merchant:	Oh, no! My C.A.B.B.A.G.E.S.!
23	Collect 25 Sketchy Keys		The street is flooded with strange creatures! We must help this poor merchant!
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		These monsters are causing a panic! Round them up!
25	Defeat the Sketchy Monster		This is the last of them! Come on! We have to hurry!
Sketchy Merchant:	Gee, thanks! How can I ever -
Reya:	NO TIME TO TALK!
Sgt. Knox:	What the? We're back at the sanctum!
Kas:	The lich led us in a circle. Coward! Stand and fight!
Windfall:	He's smart. There must be a reason.
Warforged:	[Shouting] Find the Greymatter Engine! It's here somewhere!
Windfall:	Friends of yours?
Reya:	[Facepalms] You have got to be kidding me.
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		We do NOT have time for this! Drive back these intruders!
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		More of them! We can't let them ransack the sanctum!
28	Collect 25 Pieces of Scrap		The wizards will need materials to rebuild when this is over. Turn them into scrap metal!
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		How did they even find this place? Nevermind, just keep fighting!
Landro:	[Shouting] Help! Help me!
Glaive:	[Shouting] There you are! You're coming with us! The Lord of Blades has great plans for you!
Reya:	Landro! We're coming!
30	Defeat the Mechanical Sparrow		That construct warbeast will tear the sanctum apart. We have to stop it!
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		We can't let them take Landro! The consequences would be dire!
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		The warforged have redoubled their efforts! Show them no quarter!
Injured Mordenkainen:	[Groans]
Sgt. Knox:	There's Mordenkainen! He's being crushed beneath that statue!
33	Defeat 1 Fallen Statue		Get that statue off of the wizard! We have to save him!
Reya:	[Uses Lay on Hands]
Injured Mordenkainen:	[Groggy] Champions? Argh, it hurts. These warforged came pouring out of the portal soon after you left. They must be here for -
Reya:	The Greymatter Engine. Landro. We know. We'll handle it. More importantly, where is Vecna?
Injured Mordenkainen:	Vecna? You were chasing him. But, if you're back here, then - oh no. He's returned to use the portal! Hurry!
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		There's too much to do! We have to hurry!
Sgt. Knox:	There he is! He's activated the portal!
Reya:	Vecna! Don't do this!
Kas:	LICH! FACE ME!
Vecna:	[Activates portal] Finally. It all ends in Pandesmos.
Blooshi:	Skull Guy! Wait!
Vecna:	[Looking back, a pained expression of sadness and determination] I have to do this. Alone. [Steps through]
Reya:	NO! We're too late.
Glaive:	Oh, revenge IS sweet. Greetings, Champions.
Glaive:	I wasn't sure what to make of it when a portal appeared before me, and a whisper in my mind, but I understand now. It was a trade. We get what we want, and distract you while he escapes. How does it feel? To be outwitted? To be betrayed?
Reya:	[Cold] Destroy her.
Astarion:	Reya? Darling? Are you feeling alright?
Reya:	It's like you said, Astarion. Clean hands can't save the world. We're taking back Landro, and making sure the Blades are never a problem for us again. Go. NOW.
Kas:	[Sadistic smile] With pleasure.
Glaive:	Blades, look sharp! We end this now!
35	Defeat the Glaive		Get rid of this distraction. We're going after Vecna.
Landro:	Thank you. I sleep now.
Windfall:	You're full of surprises, Feathers. Didn't know you had it in you.
Reya:	I told you. I am Zariel's mercy, AND her wrath. Now, come on. We're going through the portal.
Injured Mordenkainen:	Wait, Champions. The portal is damaged. If you pass through now, you may not be able to return.
Reya:	[Grim determination] So be it. Let's go.
Injured Mordenkainen:	Good luck. May all the watching gods be with you.
Astarion:	Oh sweet hells, what is this horrid place?
Sgt. Knox:	[Shouting] What!? I can't hear you! This howling wind is deafening!
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		Form up! We don't know what to expect here! Be ready for anything!
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		More shadows! Zariel, protect us!
Blooshi:	[Shouting] Where are we? Alvina, I'm scared! Alvina? Where'd you go? Don't leave me here!
Windfall:	[Shouting] This is what cats do! They come and go as they like! She told you herself!
Blooshi:	[Shouting through tears] Alvinaaa!
Kas:	[Shouting] Steel yourself! Strength is needed now if we are to survive this place!
38	Collect 25 Mouther Teeth		Mouthers? Those abominations will devour us! Defang them!
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		They won't let up! Keep it together!
40	Defeat the Gibbering Mouther		That huge mouther leads the pack! Smite it!
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		And now aberrations? What other horrors await us here?
Windfall:	[Shouting] Feathers! Where are we even going right now!?
Reya:	[Shouting] I don't know! But we have to keep moving!
Sgt. Knox:	[Shouting] We need a plan, Reya! Think!
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		Keep those gazers at bay! They'll try to pick off the vulnerable!
Kas:	[Shouting] Even these monsters should understand fear! Carve them up!
43	Collect 25 Gazer Eyestalks		It's grisly, but it's worth a shot! Swords at the ready!
Sgt. Knox:	[Shouting] That did it! The gazers are on the run!
Windfall:	[Shouting] But now the other ones look hungry!
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		Keep it together, people! We'll weather this storm!
45	Defeat the Grell		There! Take out their leader and the pack will disperse!
Reya:	[Shouting] This way! I hear rushing water!
Astarion:	[Shouting] How does that help us!?
Reya:	[Shouting] Do you have any better ideas!?
Astarion:	[Shouting] It's just a geyser! This might not even be water! We don't know anything about this horrible place!
Sgt. Knox:	[Shouting] Enemies! Fiends on approach!
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		Demons, too!? Weapons up!
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		Keep fighting!
Reya:	[Shouting] New plan! Windfall! Take the lead! We need your luck!
Windfall:	[Shouting] Okay! Everyone, fan out! Look for clues!
48	Collect 25 Clues		Look for anything that could lead us to Vecna!
Kas:	[Shouting] These demons carry Vecna's symbol! They must be here on his bidding!
Reya:	[Shouting] Which Vecna!?
Kas:	[Shouting] Does it matter!? It's our only lead!
Windfall:	[Shouting] Then we follow the fiends!
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		Harry these demons! If we follow them, they may lead us toward Vecna!
Sgt. Knox:	[Shouting] What in the name of all that is good is that monster!?
Windfall:	[Shouting] Vlazok! Chargers in demon armies! They stomp and gore anything smaller than themselves!
50	Defeat the Vlazok		Hold the line! Don't let these fiends break our resolve!
Blooshi:	[Shouting] I don't want to be here! This isn't fun anymore!
Reya:	[Shouting] This was never supposed to be fun, Blooshi! We're fighting for our lives! We're here to save EVERY world from total annihilation! Or worse!
Blooshi:	[Shouting] If Skull Guy was here -
Reya:	[Shouting] He's the entire reason WE'RE HERE! He betrayed us, Blooshi! Just like Kas said he would! He lied to us, manipulated us, and abandoned us! Vecna abused our trust!
Blooshi:	[Quietly] Vecna...
