Icon The Roots of Loomlurch The Roots of Loomlurch
Follow these carefully laid out plans - is this crayon? - to save the other kids trapped in Loomlurch!
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Witchlight Portrait WilloftheFeywild
Will:
Those screaming scarecrows will have alerted the hag's minions. We don't have much time before someone from Loomlurch comes. Bobi, Sloane, Zennor, Star, Nat -- get to your places. We need to move seamlessly for this plan to rescue the captured kids to work!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
How are YOU going to sneak in? The hag has your face plastered all over this domain! Everyone knows what you look like.
Witchlight Portrait WilloftheFeywild
Will:
With a clever disguise, of course!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Well met, good saer! I am Phil of the Pheywild, noted adult, here to do a business with the hag! How are your stocks doing?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Whoa! Where did Will go?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I'm starting to wonder if this adventure is an extended prank. The constantly attacking raccoons make me want to say 'yes.'
1 Defeat 25 Enemies You've got to play it cool, but these enemies are very distracting! Drive them back!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Nat be careful. Also we need to talk about this crocodile egg! You can't just --
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Just keep it warm and don't let it crack! I promise I'll be careful and you be careful too! Not just with my egg but don't break the egg!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Nat! Nat! She's turned away so she can't see me talking. That child!
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
Welcome, travelers. I am Chucklehead. Are you here to see the hag?
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Yes, indeed! I, an adult, would like to discuss her insurance premiums! And I definitely know what those are!
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
...Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like Will of the Feywild?
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Haha, I wish I looked that young! No, no, I'm Phil. Phil of the Pheywild. A pleasure to meet you, my good goblin.
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
Ah! My mistake Mister of the Pheywild. Do forgive me!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Everyone on this plane is delusional.
2 Defeat 25 Enemies The wild beasts of Thither charge you from the verge! Dodge their sharp antlers and hungry teeth!
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
If you don't mind my saying so...you don't look like the hag's usual associates.
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Haha! I wish I looked that young!
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
No, no...you look like a bunch of heroes. You wouldn't be intending to save the children in the workshop, would you?
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Not unless they know a good accountant! Haha!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I think we have another one of those 'helpful bystander becomes enemy' moments coming up.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Aye, feels that way.
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
So hypothetically...if you were heroes...you would want to rescue the children...right? That's standard hero work. Nobody good would be able to tolerate knowing those poor innocent *sniff* children can't *sniff* experience the joys *sniff* of childhood.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Are ye crying?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Hypothetically. That sounds like a heroic thing to do. But not if the hag knows. We'd really be obligated to stop anyone who was going to try to tell her.
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
*Sniff* Right, right. But...if you had an ally on the inside? Someone who cared very much for the poor *sniff* trapped children?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Uhhh, are those deer supposed to be doing that? They're tearing up the root bridge!
3 Collect 25 Dried-Out Roots Those charging deer are tearing up the bridges! Get back those dried-out roots to shore it up!
4 Defeat 25 Enemies Raccoons might seem cute with their sharp teeth, their human-like hands, their surprising dexterity, the rabies...On second thought, fight the beasts back!
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
Thanks for your help. We have a rule of reciprocity around here. So..since you helped me I have to help you. That's perfect.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I'm feeling led.
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
I'm working for the weekend! Whatever that is!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
What are you thinking, Chucklehead?
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
Maybe...if someone were going to rescue the children it would be helpful if the hag was distracted. You get my meaning?
5 Defeat the Feywild Porcupine This porcupine is bigger and more magical than a normal porcupine -- and its quills are much sharper! Dodge its attack!
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
Come with me. I'll show you the way in.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Hang on, this is so obviously a trap I can't believe we haven't just chucked this guy into the river.
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
No, honestly -- look this situation is a little complicated, I'll admit. But the rule of reciprocity IS simple. You helped me, and I'll help you.
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
This is the goblin market. They sell candies primarily, although...they're not for you, let's leave it at that.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Why not! I love candy!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
I do too! I mean...if I were not an adult I would love candy.
Icon Portrait GoblinGardener
Goblin Peddler:
Beasts! Boggles! Get away from here! Do something, you lumps!
6 Defeat 25 Enemies The goblin market is open to the forest -- and the forest is wreaking havoc! Rebuff the wild beasts and boggles!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Not to be judgemental, but you're not...really like the other goblins, Chucklehead.
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
That is true! I was. But now I have a maggot in my head, eating my brain. That's why you can trust me.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oookay. That sounds terrible.
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
Well, on the one hand I am going to die. On the other, I understand empathy! I'm pretty happy all things considered, and I'll be happier knowing Mishka's okay.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Hold that thought! There's boggles!
7 Defeat 25 Enemies Boggles slink in, leaving behind their greasy oil! It's making those skunks angry too!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Now, who is Mishka?
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
Oh, Mishka is one of the children. She's really very kind and thoughtful -- even before this maggot started eating my brain, so you know she means it! She's tried to run away three times, but Skabatha has her chained up in the kitchen now so that she can't get away. If you can save Mishka, my help will be paid for.
Icon Portrait GoblinGardener
Goblin Peddler:
Eep my wares!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Ooh, candy! I mean, ooh no! Your wares!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Come on everyone, let's help by picking them up.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
And eat them!
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
Oh, yeah no, you shouldn't do that. These aren't...normal candies.
8 Collect 25 Candies Candies gleam all over the ground! Pick them up before they get trampled!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Uh, Shelesh?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Well. I see you are foaming at the mouth. Great. Did you eat the goblin candy after Chucklehead specifically said not to do that.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
...Muh-buh.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
In her defense it was delicious looking.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Uh-huh. Do you want to explain why your hands are swelling up like balloons?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I do NOT.
9 Defeat 25 Enemies Oh dear, the candies are cursed! Keep yourselves together while you drive off these attackers!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Look out! There's a moose!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Maybe it also wants some of the candy?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like it's too late fer a peace offerin'! It's chargin'!
10 Defeat the Brown Moose Moose are the largest and heaviest members of the deer family -- and this one's going to throw his weight around! Defend the market!
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
Well, Champions, this is where I leave you. The door to the kitchen is on the other side of the market. It's unlocked and you should be able to slip right in. Save Mishka and the other children, and I shall die happy to be doing the right thing.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
This is terrible. Let me try and heal you.
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
No! If you heal me, the maggot will be gone and I will return to my selfish, wicked self. I can't do that, not now that I see the difference. I still have some time -- I can still do some good!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Thank you, Chucklehead. You're an inspiration to us all.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Some of us, anyway.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Yeah, SOME of us who aren't dark and mysterious. Wait, why are you walking away muttering, Jarlaxle? Come back!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
All right, so let's go over the plan one more time. First --
Icon Portrait GoblinGardener
Goblin Peddler:
Hey! You lot! Buy something or move along!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Keep yer britches on! We're just havin' a conversation!
Icon Portrait GoblinGardener
Goblin Peddler:
You mean 'causing chaos and blocking the right of way'! You mean 'leading all these wild beasts to wreck up our wagons!' And stealing candies! Goblins! Attack!
11 Defeat 25 Enemies You just helped these goblins, but they don't see it that way! Stand against the angry peddlers!
Icon Portrait GoblinGardener
Goblin Peddler:
We know you stole the candies!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Whaaa? Who woof dayew say sush a thin?
Icon Portrait GoblinGardener
Goblin Peddler:
You! You would dare, foam face! You and the dark elf with the balloon hands and the harengon whose feet are plinking out a funeral dirge with every step!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Yorven!
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
..Even the darkness likes delicious candies.
Icon Portrait GoblinGardener
Goblin Peddler:
The price is blood! Eat arrows, thieves!
12 Defeat 25 Enemies The goblins don't like that you led the beasts to the market -- or that you sampled their candy! This is all a misunderstanding!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We can't go on like this. Yorven's making music with every step. Jarlaxle's blowing up like a balloon. Blooshi can't stop foaming at the mouth.
Icon Portrait GoblinGardener
Goblin Peddler:
Well we can sell you the antidote candies.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Great! How much!
Icon Portrait GoblinGardener
Goblin Peddler:
Your dignity! Haha! Pick them out of the dirt!
13 Collect 25 Antidotes Those candies are the antidotes to the cursed candies! You'll be able to focus with that magic lifted! Gather them up!
14 Defeat 25 Enemies There's no consumer protection in Thither -- except your weapons! Defend yourselves!
Icon Portrait GoblinGardener
Goblin Peddler:
More thieving! This cannot stand!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ye gave us tha antidote candies! Ye said it yerself!
Icon Portrait GoblinGardener
Goblin Peddler:
I changed my mind! You're going down!
15 Defeat the Goblin Butcher The market boss swings his cleaver -- a fair exchange is your lives? I think not!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Boy, you guys get in a lot of fights.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
We're pretty good at it.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Don't get cocky, kid. Where's this door?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Phew! This place stinks like burning sugar and rotten eggs!
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
Hello? Who are you?
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
If anyone asks, I'm Phil of the Pheywild, but actually --
Witchlight Portrait WilloftheFeywild
Will:
Owww! I thought that mustache would come off more easily.
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
You're Will of the Feywild! You're here to rescue me? Rescue all of us?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Hold that thought a moment! We've got company!
16 Defeat 25 Enemies The kitchen is hot and greasy -- or maybe that's the animated coals and boggles! Swat the little minions!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
I will break the chain and we can begin the plan.
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
Be quiet! Granny Nightshade's guards are in the other room, and the dragon --
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
I fear no dragon! Did you not hear how I slew two green --
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Minsc! Not now!
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Tin soldiers? What do you...Oh, those tin soldiers!
17 Defeat 25 Enemies The first of Skabatha's tin soldiers marches in, alert to the sounds of your rescue! Don't let them report back!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
We need to get the fire good and hot before we add the pumpkin bomb. It's got to catch all the fireworks we stuffed in the central pumpkin so the kablooey is epic!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
'Kablooey'? Is that a technical term?
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Of course.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
I've definitely heard that. Like: 'The kablooey of a mud explosion near the palace has encompassed the docks. A coup is suspected.' See? Sounds very technical.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I thought where I came from was weird.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Get some tinder and we'll start building up the fire.
18 Collect 25 Pieces of Tinder The pumpkin bomb needs a fire laid under it! Get some tinder and start building!
19 Defeat 25 Enemies There's too many cooks in this kitchen! Cut the number down!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Okay so we load up the stove and -- Yaaah!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
A fire elemental! That's what's powerin' the hag's stove!
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
Quiet! Quiet!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
We'll defeat this monster!
20 Defeat the Fire Elemental A fire elemental surges up from its lair in the stove! Cool it down!
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
I'm so glad you're saving me, but you really have to be quiet! Skabatha's bedroom is near here, and the dragon --
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Dinnae worry, lass. Let's get those chains off.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Urgh! There! You are free. Now let us defeat the evil and move on to the part of the plan where we get Nat back.
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
Wait! My friend in the floor!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Yer what?
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
Mishka! What's happening up there?
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
His name is Elkhorn. He's an adventurer that Granny Nightshade captured. He's locked up under that trapdoor. We can't leave him.
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Ooh, yeah, we shouldn't. This place is going to be pumpkin gut carnage once the bomb goes off.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
All right, there's a padlock, which seems like it's simple enough to--
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Urgh! Oof!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
-- ignore as we rip the door off its hinges.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
You are most welcome! Now excuse me, either the rage is upon me or the kitchen implements are attacking.
21 Defeat 25 Enemies The hag's kitchen comes to life -- and attacks! Defend against the mimics and coals!
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
Thank you for freeing me. Was starting to think I might spend the rest of my days in that dank little cell.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Of course! We are happy to thwart the efforts of evil. Assuming you are not evil ... Possibly we should have checked first.
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
Of course I'm not evil! Haven't you ever heard of Valor's Call?
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Not even a little.
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
An adventuring company, noblest in all the lands. Came over to ask Zybilna for advice with a sticky problem, and everything went a bit sideways. Came out of the Palace looking for the solution and got nabbed by the hag. And here we are. Now: what's the plan? Have to get all the children out, that's not negotiable.
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
I like this guy!
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
I built the fire up. It's ready when you are.
Icon Yorven
Yorven:
More of Skabatha's minions are attacking. If we don't face them, we won't have the space to assemble the pumpkin bomb and the darkness of the hag's reach will spread further crushing joy from --
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
'Get rid of the mimics,' just say, 'Get rid of the mimics.'
22 Defeat 25 Enemies The fire is set, the plan's ready to go -- but you're still under attack! Get some space!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
This is it! I'll put the core in, but then we need to pack the rest of the rotten pumpkin pieces around it. Everyone grab some.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
This is disgusting.
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
That's the idea!
23 Collect 25 Rotten Pumpkins Let's get this messy chaos plan started! Fill the oven with rotten pumpkin bombs!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
That's stage one set! Operation Orange Slime Everywhere is a go! Let's move, people! You don't want to be here when it goes.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
..I mean, I kind of do. I want to see the kablooey.
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Of course you do! It's going to be amazing! But if all goes right, it should kablooey right up the chimney!
24 Defeat 25 Enemies Make a break for the exit! You don't have time to waste!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
The exit's cleared! Let's go!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
What's that hissin' sound?
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
Nooo! We weren't quiet enough!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
That box is moving! Mishka, what's in the box!
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
Cradlefall! The hag's dragon!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Now we are talking!
25 Defeat the Cradlefall A green dragon wyrmling uncoils from a box by the door. Here's the foe Will warned about! Time to fight!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
This is the textile mill. Stage two of our plan. We gum up the looms with the honey we collected, everything overheats, Skabatha has to waste time cleaning it up.
Witchlight Portrait Sloane
Sloane:
Hey Champions. I was wondering if you'd given up and run back off to your plane. I guess it's cool you didn't. Where's Will?
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Sloane, it's me.
Witchlight Portrait Sloane
Sloane:
Who?
Witchlight Portrait WilloftheFeywild
Will:
Owwww! Me! The mustache is a disguise.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
You can sort out whose face is what later -- more tin soldiers! And I don't like the look of those chairs!
26 Defeat 25 Enemies The looms of Loomlurch clatter along -- for now! Strike down their guards to get this plan moving!
27 Defeat 25 Enemies Those aren't chairs! These mimics will drag you down!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Oh! Oh! Phil! I have an idea! A really WICKED idea!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
The plan is set and I don't like improvising.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
But mimics make mimic glue, right? It's REALLY sticky. There's goopy patches of it on all these chairs.
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
What's your point?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
What if we mix it with the honey and pour THAT on the looms! That would really goop up the works!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
I love this and I love improvising. Let's do it! Scoop up that mimic glue!
28 Collect 25 Vials of Mimic Glue Mimic glue would make that honey plan even stickier! Scoop up as much as you can!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Blooshi, mix up that honey and mimic glue. Sloane, get those kids out of here and back to Little Oak. The path through the kitchen ought to be clear.
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
Let me run 'em back and rejoin you. Give the kids some cover.
Witchlight Portrait Sloane
Sloane:
Um, who's this guy? And why should we trust him?
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
That's Elkhorn!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Sorry ta say, friend, but looks like tha kitchen path's been overrun! There's more minions comin' out of that door!
29 Defeat 25 Enemies Those kids need to get out of here! Hold back the guards!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Nothing for it -- we need to bring the kids with us through Loomlurch. Elkhorn, keep an eye on them and don't let anybody wander off.
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Watch it, buster! This is my mission!
Witchlight Portrait Sloane
Sloane:
Uh, guys? That pile of armor is moving.
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
Oh no! The animated armor that guards the looms! It's waking up!
30 Defeat the Animated Armor The clatter of the looms is drowned out by the clatter of a suit of animated armor coming together! Stand firm!
31 Defeat 25 Enemies Clear the room so that you can execute the plan! Fight those mimics and boggles!
32 Defeat 25 Enemies Skabatha's minions are growing thicker! Battle your way through!
Witchlight Portrait Sloane
Sloane:
Come on, kids. We're getting out of here.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Celeste, is Nat's crocodile egg still safe?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I've got it tucked under my armor. Do you know why it's glittery green?
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Presumably because Nat has taken excellent care of it! She will be an excellent ranger with a fortunate animal companion one day. She's been very responsible!
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Ah, yes, also Gromma mentioned it might be soaking up the magic of this place, so possibly it will be an unnaturally fierce crocodile. Or perhaps one that is sassy like those toadstools! It will be a surprise!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
All right, the stuff is all mixed. Be careful, it's very sticky.
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Perfect! That's exactly what I need! Everyone, help me spread this over the loom workings!
33 Collect 25 Pots of Sticky Honey Time to go! Pour that honey-mimic glue mix over the looms and gum them up!
34 Defeat 25 Enemies Mischief achieved! Time to fight your way out of the textile mill!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Weird, it smells like honey in here now.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Who would have thought if you coated an entire textile mill in honey and mimic glue it might smell of honey. I was definitely expecting roast potatoes.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Sweet Mother Selûne! A bear is climbing in the window! The smell of honey must have lured it in!
35 Defeat the Grizzly Bear Oh no! Lured by the smell of honey, a grizzly bear forces its way into the mill! Drive it off!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Quick! This way! The dormitories are through here!
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
Oh! That's the tin soldier barracks!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
There's no other way to get to the kids' dormitory. Everyone be brave!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
This is very cute for a barracks. Look at their tiny houses! So colorful!
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
Oh! They're very fierce soldiers though! Even if they're made of tin!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Is there anything in this place that isn't surprisingly fierce?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
No. We shouldn't have sent Nat off alone.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Nat is very brave! Also she has an animal companion! She is fine. Do not worry. Here! We can defeat these adorable tin soldiers to distract us!
36 Defeat 25 Enemies Little tin soldiers all in a row -- ready to knock you down! Get your guard up!
37 Defeat 25 Enemies You have to get through the tin soldiers' barracks to reach the dormitory! Nat is counting on you!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
We're not going to be able to send off these kids as fast as I'd like. Those tin soldiers' helmets would help them blend in!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I don't know. People here seem very observant and not at all fooled by obvious disguises.
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
We have to try!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
...I don't know if it's the fumes from the mimic glue, but I'm starting to believe in the mustache.
38 Collect 25 Tin Helmets These tin soldier helmets will help disguise the kids! Pick them up!
39 Defeat 25 Enemies You're almost through the barracks! But here's more redcaps and goblins to reinforce the tin soldiers!
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
Hurry! Hurry! The dormitories are up here! Eep!
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Indeed! That tin soldier is too large and angry to be adorable!
40 Defeat the Tin Soldier Leader A tin soldier, larger and stronger than the others, marches out of his cupboard, ready to take charge! Hold the line!
41 Defeat 25 Enemies It's time to move! Get past these minions and get to the kids!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Nat! Oh thank goodness! Are you okay?!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] I'm fine, but that boy isn't well. We're trying to figure out what to do.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Wait, why did you draw all over that blanket? How is that helping?
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] I made this is so Star can communicate. He can't sign like me and he has trouble talking, but watch. I tap the pictures. [indicates] Sad. Child. Hurt. Where? Help.
Witchlight Portrait Star
Star:
[indicates] Sad. Small. Person. Hurt. Animal. Long. Ow. Mouth. I-Me. Pounce.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Ooh! Ooh! Is it a snake? Did he get bitten by a snake? Maybe that one?
42 Defeat 25 Enemies What are all these snakes doing in this dormitory? Don't let them get to the kids!
Witchlight Portrait Star
Star:
[indicates] Happy. Happy. Pounce. Long. Ow. Animal.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Thank you, Star! You are a very helpful kitten!
Witchlight Portrait Star
Star:
[indicates] You're welcome. Proud. I-Me.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Nat, that was very clever. And kind.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] I knew he could do it. It's frustrating when you can't get people to understand. I think Star is much happier now....Wait, why is Will wearing a mustache?
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
Those snakes got in? Poor Brottor!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
You have a problem with snakes?
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
They live in the garden. Some of them can make you sick. But the hummingbrella mushrooms will cure him. The tin soldiers always have some in their compartments, just in case.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well then it sounds like we know what to do!
43 Collect 25 Feywild Fungi One of the kids is poisoned! Oh no! Get those mushrooms to cure him!
44 Defeat 25 Enemies More snakes, more boggles, more tin soldiers, more trouble! Drive them back!
Witchlight Portrait Star
Star:
[indicates] Up. Big. Many. Long. Animal. Ow.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Oh no! A swarm of snakes!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Children, get back!
45 Defeat the Flying Snake Swarm A huge swarm of flying snakes wriggles through the window, ready to poison all of you! Cut it down!
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
Come on, children. No time to waste.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Will...I mean Phil, is there a way out through this side of Loomlurch?
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Yes! Through the barracks again, and then they can go through the parlor to Little Oak. We just have to get through these boggles and the chairs they brought.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Those are no chairs!
46 Defeat 25 Enemies We've got half our plan done, but we need to get out of here! Fight your way past the mimics and boggles!
47 Defeat 25 Enemies More of Skabatha's minions pour into the room! Redcaps and tin soldiers, oh my!
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[indicates] I-Me. Hold. Talker.
Witchlight Portrait Star
Star:
Mrow! [indicates] Please. Thank you!
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
Oh! That reminds me! My blanket! Please, I want my blanket! It's the coziest thing we have here.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
We can gather up all the blankets! The ones which have been adapted to be communication boards and the ones which are cozy!
48 Collect 25 Patchwork Blankets Loomlurch is a prison, but the kids have made it their home. Get their favorite blankets to take with them!
49 Defeat 25 Enemies You're almost out! Fight past the boggles, mimics, and tin soldiers!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Nat, I'm sorry for what I said. It probably felt like I didn't trust you --
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] You didn't.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Fair. I didn't. But mostly because I was worried something might happen to you. I'm afraid we failed Squiddly and Jenks, and while I KNOW we will find them again, safe and sound, I worry about them.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Me too. I imagine they are telling each other jokes about farts and boogers in some fairy palace though, and I worry a little less.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
...I might be worrying a little more now. But what I wanted to say Nat is that I'm so impressed with how brave you've been and how much you've used what you know and can do to help others. You protected these kids. You helped Star communicate. And you've done a very good job with this egg.
Icon Portrait Nat
Nat:
[signs] Oh! It's still safe! And glittery. Good job Celeste. And thank you for helping me and not sticking it back in the mud. I'm going to be the best crocodile companion. Especially if it comes out glittery.
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
Now that we've gathered everything up, let's get out of here.
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
Not so fast.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh for crying out loud. You can't do a surprise villain turn when we were sure you were a villain from the start! That's just lazy!
Icon NPC Skabatha
Skabatha:
Ah, but it's ever so much more complicated than that. He was wicked and then the worm got at him. The maggot made him good. And then I healed him so we're back to the beginning.
Witchlight Portrait Chucklehead
Chucklehead:
Only now I have a trebuchet! Hahahah!
Icon NPC Skabatha
Skabatha:
And I have some sabotage to rectify. You weren't as clever as you thought you were, Champions. Clean up the mess when you're done, Chucklehead.
50 Defeat the Chucklehead Oh no! Granny Nightshade has made Chucklehead turn against you! And he's taken the trebuchet! And...are those mudballs on fire??!
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
No! Chucklehead!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Sorry, kid, he turned out to be evil without that worm in his head.
Witchlight Portrait Mishka
Mishka:
That's not TRUE! He's my friend! He snuck me sweets and told me I was brave enough to escape one day and he helped me. A worm didn't do that! I'll bet that hag cursed him. We have to save him!
Witchlight Portrait Elkhorn
Elkhorn:
Give him over. I'll carry him until we can fix him up. Then he'll have to answer, mind. He still turned on us.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Although matters are different if he was cursed. But we don't have time to worry about that right now! We have to get out of Loomlurch and stop Skabatha!
Witchlight Portrait PhilofthePheywild
Phil:
She's trying to undo all the sabotage we started, but we still have some tricks up our sleeves! We've got the sewing room and -- WHOA! That boom! The pumpkin bomb wasn't supposed to be that big! Bobi, I told you to hold back on the fireworks! Now we definitely have to move!
