Transcript[]
| Follow these carefully laid out plans - is this crayon? - to save the other kids trapped in Loomlurch! | ||||||
| Area | Goal | Quests & Cinematics | ||||
![]() 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! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
How are YOU going to sneak in? The hag has your face plastered all over this domain! Everyone knows what you look like. | |||||
![]() Will: |
With a clever disguise, of course! | |||||
![]() 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? | |||||
Blooshi: |
Whoa! Where did Will go? | |||||
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! | ||||
Celeste: |
Nat be careful. Also we need to talk about this crocodile egg! You can't just -- | |||||
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! | |||||
Celeste: |
Nat! Nat! She's turned away so she can't see me talking. That child! | |||||
![]() Chucklehead: |
Welcome, travelers. I am Chucklehead. Are you here to see the hag? | |||||
![]() Phil: |
Yes, indeed! I, an adult, would like to discuss her insurance premiums! And I definitely know what those are! | |||||
![]() Chucklehead: |
...Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like Will of the Feywild? | |||||
![]() 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. | |||||
![]() Chucklehead: |
Ah! My mistake Mister of the Pheywild. Do forgive me! | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() Chucklehead: |
If you don't mind my saying so...you don't look like the hag's usual associates. | |||||
![]() Phil: |
Haha! I wish I looked that young! | |||||
![]() Chucklehead: |
No, no...you look like a bunch of heroes. You wouldn't be intending to save the children in the workshop, would you? | |||||
![]() Phil: |
Not unless they know a good accountant! Haha! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
I think we have another one of those 'helpful bystander becomes enemy' moments coming up. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Aye, feels that way. | |||||
![]() 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. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Are ye crying? | |||||
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. | |||||
![]() Chucklehead: |
*Sniff* Right, right. But...if you had an ally on the inside? Someone who cared very much for the poor *sniff* trapped children? | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() 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. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
I'm feeling led. | |||||
![]() Phil: |
I'm working for the weekend! Whatever that is! | |||||
Celeste: |
What are you thinking, 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! | ||||
![]() Chucklehead: |
Come with me. I'll show you the way in. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Hang on, this is so obviously a trap I can't believe we haven't just chucked this guy into the river. | |||||
![]() 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. | |||||
![]() Chucklehead: |
This is the goblin market. They sell candies primarily, although...they're not for you, let's leave it at that. | |||||
Blooshi: |
Why not! I love candy! | |||||
![]() Phil: |
I do too! I mean...if I were not an adult I would love candy. | |||||
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! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
Not to be judgemental, but you're not...really like the other goblins, 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. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Oookay. That sounds terrible. | |||||
![]() 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. | |||||
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! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
Now, who is Mishka? | |||||
![]() 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. | |||||
Goblin Peddler: |
Eep my wares! | |||||
![]() Phil: |
Ooh, candy! I mean, ooh no! Your wares! | |||||
Celeste: |
Come on everyone, let's help by picking them up. | |||||
Blooshi: |
And eat them! | |||||
![]() 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! | ||||
Blooshi: |
Uh, Shelesh? | |||||
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. | |||||
Blooshi: |
...Muh-buh. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
In her defense it was delicious looking. | |||||
Celeste: |
Uh-huh. Do you want to explain why your hands are swelling up like balloons? | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
I do NOT. | |||||
| 9 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Oh dear, the candies are cursed! Keep yourselves together while you drive off these attackers! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Look out! There's a moose! | |||||
![]() Phil: |
Maybe it also wants some of the candy? | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() 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. | |||||
Celeste: |
This is terrible. Let me try and heal you. | |||||
![]() 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! | |||||
Nayeli: |
Thank you, Chucklehead. You're an inspiration to us all. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Some of us, anyway. | |||||
Blooshi: |
Yeah, SOME of us who aren't dark and mysterious. Wait, why are you walking away muttering, Jarlaxle? Come back! | |||||
![]() Phil: |
All right, so let's go over the plan one more time. First -- | |||||
Goblin Peddler: |
Hey! You lot! Buy something or move along! | |||||
Bruenor: |
Keep yer britches on! We're just havin' a conversation! | |||||
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! | ||||
Goblin Peddler: |
We know you stole the candies! | |||||
Blooshi: |
Whaaa? Who woof dayew say sush a thin? | |||||
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! | |||||
Celeste: |
Yorven! | |||||
Yorven: |
..Even the darkness likes delicious candies. | |||||
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! | ||||
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. | |||||
Goblin Peddler: |
Well we can sell you the antidote candies. | |||||
Celeste: |
Great! How much! | |||||
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! | ||||
Goblin Peddler: |
More thieving! This cannot stand! | |||||
Bruenor: |
Ye gave us tha antidote candies! Ye said it yerself! | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() Phil: |
Boy, you guys get in a lot of fights. | |||||
Blooshi: |
We're pretty good at it. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Don't get cocky, kid. Where's this door? | |||||
Blooshi: |
Phew! This place stinks like burning sugar and rotten eggs! | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
Hello? Who are you? | |||||
![]() Phil: |
If anyone asks, I'm Phil of the Pheywild, but actually -- | |||||
![]() Will: |
Owww! I thought that mustache would come off more easily. | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
You're Will of the Feywild! You're here to rescue me? Rescue all of us? | |||||
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! | ||||
Minsc: |
I will break the chain and we can begin the plan. | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
Be quiet! Granny Nightshade's guards are in the other room, and the dragon -- | |||||
Minsc: |
I fear no dragon! Did you not hear how I slew two green -- | |||||
Celeste: |
Minsc! Not now! | |||||
Boo: |
Squeak! | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() 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! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
'Kablooey'? Is that a technical term? | |||||
![]() Phil: |
Of course. | |||||
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. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
I thought where I came from was weird. | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() Phil: |
Okay so we load up the stove and -- Yaaah! | |||||
Bruenor: |
A fire elemental! That's what's powerin' the hag's stove! | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
Quiet! Quiet! | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() 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 -- | |||||
Bruenor: |
Dinnae worry, lass. Let's get those chains off. | |||||
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. | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
Wait! My friend in the floor! | |||||
Bruenor: |
Yer what? | |||||
![]() Elkhorn: |
Mishka! What's happening up there? | |||||
![]() 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. | |||||
![]() Phil: |
Ooh, yeah, we shouldn't. This place is going to be pumpkin gut carnage once the bomb goes off. | |||||
Celeste: |
All right, there's a padlock, which seems like it's simple enough to-- | |||||
Minsc: |
Urgh! Oof! | |||||
Celeste: |
-- ignore as we rip the door off its hinges. | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() Elkhorn: |
Thank you for freeing me. Was starting to think I might spend the rest of my days in that dank little cell. | |||||
Minsc: |
Of course! We are happy to thwart the efforts of evil. Assuming you are not evil ... Possibly we should have checked first. | |||||
![]() Elkhorn: |
Of course I'm not evil! Haven't you ever heard of Valor's Call? | |||||
Minsc: |
Not even a little. | |||||
![]() 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. | |||||
![]() Phil: |
I like this guy! | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
I built the fire up. It's ready when you are. | |||||
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 -- | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() 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. | |||||
Nayeli: |
This is disgusting. | |||||
![]() 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! | ||||
![]() 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. | |||||
Blooshi: |
..I mean, I kind of do. I want to see the kablooey. | |||||
![]() 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! | ||||
![]() Phil: |
The exit's cleared! Let's go! | |||||
Bruenor: |
What's that hissin' sound? | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
Nooo! We weren't quiet enough! | |||||
![]() Phil: |
That box is moving! Mishka, what's in the box! | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
Cradlefall! The hag's dragon! | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() 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. | |||||
![]() 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? | |||||
![]() Phil: |
Sloane, it's me. | |||||
![]() Sloane: |
Who? | |||||
![]() Will: |
Owwww! Me! The mustache is a disguise. | |||||
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! | ||||
Blooshi: |
Oh! Oh! Phil! I have an idea! A really WICKED idea! | |||||
![]() Phil: |
The plan is set and I don't like improvising. | |||||
Blooshi: |
But mimics make mimic glue, right? It's REALLY sticky. There's goopy patches of it on all these chairs. | |||||
![]() Phil: |
What's your point? | |||||
Blooshi: |
What if we mix it with the honey and pour THAT on the looms! That would really goop up the works! | |||||
![]() 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! | ||||
![]() 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. | |||||
![]() Elkhorn: |
Let me run 'em back and rejoin you. Give the kids some cover. | |||||
![]() Sloane: |
Um, who's this guy? And why should we trust him? | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
That's Elkhorn! | |||||
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! | ||||
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. | |||||
![]() Phil: |
Watch it, buster! This is my mission! | |||||
![]() Sloane: |
Uh, guys? That pile of armor is moving. | |||||
![]() 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! | ||||
![]() Sloane: |
Come on, kids. We're getting out of here. | |||||
Minsc: |
Celeste, is Nat's crocodile egg still safe? | |||||
Celeste: |
I've got it tucked under my armor. Do you know why it's glittery green? | |||||
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! | |||||
Boo: |
Squeak! | |||||
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! | |||||
Blooshi: |
All right, the stuff is all mixed. Be careful, it's very sticky. | |||||
![]() 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! | ||||
Blooshi: |
Weird, it smells like honey in here now. | |||||
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. | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() Phil: |
Quick! This way! The dormitories are through here! | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
Oh! That's the tin soldier barracks! | |||||
![]() Phil: |
There's no other way to get to the kids' dormitory. Everyone be brave! | |||||
Minsc: |
This is very cute for a barracks. Look at their tiny houses! So colorful! | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
Oh! They're very fierce soldiers though! Even if they're made of tin! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Is there anything in this place that isn't surprisingly fierce? | |||||
Celeste: |
No. We shouldn't have sent Nat off alone. | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() 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! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
I don't know. People here seem very observant and not at all fooled by obvious disguises. | |||||
![]() Phil: |
We have to try! | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() Mishka: |
Hurry! Hurry! The dormitories are up here! Eep! | |||||
Boo: |
Squeak! | |||||
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! | ||||
Celeste: |
Nat! Oh thank goodness! Are you okay?! | |||||
Nat: |
[signs] I'm fine, but that boy isn't well. We're trying to figure out what to do. | |||||
Celeste: |
Wait, why did you draw all over that blanket? How is that helping? | |||||
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. | |||||
![]() Star: |
[indicates] Sad. Small. Person. Hurt. Animal. Long. Ow. Mouth. I-Me. Pounce. | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() Star: |
[indicates] Happy. Happy. Pounce. Long. Ow. Animal. | |||||
Minsc: |
Thank you, Star! You are a very helpful kitten! | |||||
![]() Star: |
[indicates] You're welcome. Proud. I-Me. | |||||
Celeste: |
Nat, that was very clever. And kind. | |||||
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? | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
Those snakes got in? Poor Brottor! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
You have a problem with snakes? | |||||
![]() 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. | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() Star: |
[indicates] Up. Big. Many. Long. Animal. Ow. | |||||
Nat: |
[signs] Oh no! A swarm of snakes! | |||||
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! | ||||
![]() Elkhorn: |
Come on, children. No time to waste. | |||||
Celeste: |
Will...I mean Phil, is there a way out through this side of Loomlurch? | |||||
![]() 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. | |||||
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! | ||||
Nat: |
[indicates] I-Me. Hold. Talker. | |||||
![]() Star: |
Mrow! [indicates] Please. Thank you! | |||||
![]() Mishka: |
Oh! That reminds me! My blanket! Please, I want my blanket! It's the coziest thing we have here. | |||||
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! | ||||
Celeste: |
Nat, I'm sorry for what I said. It probably felt like I didn't trust you -- | |||||
Nat: |
[signs] You didn't. | |||||
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. | |||||
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. | |||||
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. | |||||
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. | |||||
![]() Phil: |
Now that we've gathered everything up, let's get out of here. | |||||
![]() Chucklehead: |
Not so fast. | |||||
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! | |||||
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. | |||||
![]() Chucklehead: |
Only now I have a trebuchet! Hahahah! | |||||
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??! | ||||
![]() Mishka: |
No! Chucklehead! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Sorry, kid, he turned out to be evil without that worm in his head. | |||||
![]() 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! | |||||
![]() 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. | |||||
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! | |||||
![]() 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! | |||||
