The Twilight Grove
Enter the Twilight Grove and the terrors within.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Celeste:	Watch yourselves, friends. These unnatural vines are tapping into the power of the Gulthias tree.
Bruenor:	'Tis a favor that tree's doin' us, then. We'll be able ta follow this growth straight ta tha heart o' tha Twilight Grove. Ain't always that evil lays out tha welcome mat like this.
Nayeli:	That evil grows stronger with each step we take. This will not be an easy fight.
Bruenor:	Tha hard fights are tha one's worth fightin', I say. Come on!
1	Defeat 25 Monsters		The Twilight Grove stands ahead of you -- and its blight defenders are out in full force!
2	Defeat 25 Monsters		A scout party of goblins wasn't expecting to run into you. But they seem intent on making trouble just the same!
3	Collect 25 Rotting Vines		The rotting vines that fill these halls are closing in. Cut them down before you're hemmed in!
4	Defeat 25 Monsters		Tearing through these vines has disturbed the creatures lairing here. Giant rats are on the move!
Minsc:	Many rat tracks through here. More of these creatures will be found, I fear.
Celeste:	And they're healthier specimens than the diseased rats we fought on the levels above. This Belak the Outcast will be keeping the grove's strongest defenders in close. Erky, while you were imprisoned, did you hear any talk of what we might find down here?
Erky Timbers:	Very little, my lady. The goblins feared this place as much as I do. A few are forced to patrol this level, and they spoke of a bugbear hunter who protects the approaches to the grove. But these unnatural blights are likely to be the worst of it.
Bruenor:	I'll second that. Them mad plants is movin' faster down here. Like they're drawin' on that dark tree's magic. We gotta step up our game if we wanna make it through.
Balsag:	Well, look here. Visitors to the Twilight Grove? You will make a fine quarry.
Vlahnya:	I'm sorry, but before this all breaks down into threats and inevitable violence, I just have to say: Bold choice with the antler headgear, but I'm not sure it's quite working for you.
Balsag:	Prattle, prattle little mice. And be thankful Balsag the hunter has business elsewhere and can't waste my time on you. But I'll leave you some company. Grip! Fang! Give these outlanders a proper welcome!
Bruenor:	Look out! Them monster rats at his side is chargin' like huntin' hounds. And tha pack is with 'em!
5	Defeat the Bloodthirsty Rats (2)		The smaller rats take their lead from these two monstrous and bloodthirsty specimens! Hit them hard!
6	Defeat 25 Monsters		The giant rats are fleeing in disarray -- but that doesn't stop the last of them from lashing out in rage as they go!
Bruenor:	Somethin' odd on tha air here. Smells like smolderin'. But these vines is too wet ta burn.
Jarlaxle:	It's not the vines that are on fire. Watch out!
7	Defeat 25 Monsters		As you get closer to the heart of the grove, things are heating up! Fire snakes and burning rats guard these vine-filled halls!
8	Collect 25 Fire Snake Scales		The scales these fire snakes are dropping are valuable to the right buyers. Grab them up!
9	Defeat 25 Monsters		The snakes are starting to fall back before you -- but another wave of burning rats presses in!
Balsag:	We meet a second time, trespassers. This will not go well for you. Grip! Fang! Come to me!
Bruenor:	Hate ta break it ta ye, but yer wannabe hounds dinna make it through tha last fight. Ye'll just have ta make do with what allies ye've got here.
Balsag:	I need no allies to deal with the likes of you! I am Balsag the Hunter, defender of the Twilight Grove! Get ready to meet the cook pot!
10	Defeat the Balsag the Hunter		Balsag the Hunter intends to make prey of you all. Time to show him his job description is due for a rewrite!
Bruenor:	That's one more loud-talkin' goblinoid who bolts as soon as tha fight goes against him. Wonder if he's fallin' back fer reinforcements?
Erky Timbers:	From what I heard from the goblins, Balsag preferred to fight alone. But even with him out of the way, I doubt we'll have an easy time of it.
11	Defeat 25 Monsters		The last of the burning rats scatter -- and drive their non-burning kin into a frenzy!
Nayeli:	The tenor of the dark magic here is changing. I sense undead ahead.
Bruenor:	That's a solid heads-up. Let's get ready fer 'em. Elf, can ye see what we're facin'? Is it them ghouls from tha crypts up above?
Jarlaxle:	No, not ghouls. Skeletons by the look of them. But that look is... unusual...?
12	Defeat 25 Monsters		This section of the grove level is tended by skeletal gardeners. Clear these undead out!
13	Collect 25 Gardening Tools		These undead are a bit too skillful using their gardening implements as weapons. Disarm them to tip the balance in this fight!
14	Defeat 25 Monsters		The skeletons are falling back -- straight into a nest of irate fire snakes that are quick to join the fray!
Minsc:	Burning snakes to all sides! We must break through!
Jarlaxle:	They're spreading out from that one spot ahead. There! They're taking direction from that one leader.
Bruenor:	Then that's where we make our push. Come on!
15	Defeat the Fire Snake Leader		A boss fire snake drives the rest of its pack into a fighting frenzy! Hit it hard!
Nayeli:	My sense of the undead grows fainter. They've scattered, I think.
Celeste:	But not because of us. Listen. That horrid scratching sound. We're surrounded by twig blights. And they're getting closer.
Bruenor:	Let 'em come. Tha faster we hack down these weeds, tha faster we get this business finished.
Celeste:	But they won't stop coming, Bruenor. The Gulthias Tree can sense our approach, and it'll spawn more blights the closer we get.
Nayeli:	Fighting endless evil is what the Champions do best, Celeste. And we'll win this fight like we have all the rest.
16	Defeat 25 Monsters		As you push farther into the grove, packs of vicious twig blights swarm!
17	Defeat 25 Monsters		Skeleton gardeners and the blights they tend attack in a frenzy! Watch yourselves!
18	Collect 25 Twig Blight samples		Understanding the unnatural magic that animates these blights might be key to defeating them. Take some samples from the fallen!
19	Defeat 25 Monsters		As fast as you drive these foes back, more push out from the mass of vines that surrounds you!
Nayeli:	The skeletons are having trouble regrouping! Hit them hard now! Finish them off!
Bruenor:	Can't reach 'em... them blasted blights is always in tha way. We gotta move around, push through alongside tha wall ta get behind 'em.
Jarlaxle:	Bruenor, watch yourself! There, within that mass of vines! Something's moving!
20	Defeat the Shambling Mound		A shambling mound erupts from the cover of the vines and lurches in to attack!
Bruenor:	Shamblin' mound down! And is that tha last o' them skeleton gardeners?
Nayeli:	I think so. But I can hear more twig blights on the move.
Celeste:	We're going to end up surrounded if we continue on this way. We need to fall back. Everyone, look for halls where the vines are thinner. If we can find a route where the power of the Gulthias Tree is weakest, we might have a chance!
21	Defeat 25 Monsters		The vines that obscure these halls begin to thin -- even as the attacks of the twig blights grow more intense!
22	Defeat 25 Monsters		Your fight with the blights disturbs a colony of bats that lairs here. Clear them out!
Minsc:	Through here, friends! No vines at all! A safe space, I think.
Boo:	Squeak!
Bruenor:	Aye, Boo, and it's a strange space, ta be sure. What is this place?
Celeste:	lt has the look of a laboratory... but a most unnatural one. Belak the Outcast has been performing dark experiments here, I'd wager. Collect some of this fungus for me. It might help me understand what that dark druid has been doing.
23	Collect 25 Fungal Samples		Collecting these fungal samples should be easy enough -- but these swarming bats keep getting in your way!
24	Defeat 25 Monsters		The bats continue their frenzied flight, even as another pack of twig blights surrounds you!
Nayeli:	The twig blights are breaking off. Celeste was right! Their power is weakened here.
Jarlaxle:	Or -- and this is just a wild theory, mind you -- they might be running from something else.
Bruenor:	Feh. These is mindless plant creatures. What'd make them bolt?
Jarlaxle:	That, right there.
Bruenor:	Oi! By me gran's finest cleaner! 'Tis another diseased monster rat like that one we fought upstairs!
Celeste:	The poor creature is in agony. We must put it out of its misery.
Jarlaxle:	Pretty sure it's going to try to put us out of ours first! Here it comes!
25	Defeat the Diseased Giant Rat		The horridness of this diseased giant rat threatens to overwhelm you. End this creature, and quickly!
Bruenor:	Right. That was a fight-and-a-half, but we got no time fer a respite. We gotta keep movin'.
Jarlaxle:	Just a minute. I'm still scraping bits of that fight off my cloak. Minsc, any sense of what's ahead?
Minsc:	Boo slips through darkness, comes back to say he sees more garden places. Most strange.
Celeste:	More of Belak's workspaces, no doubt. We might find valuable information there. Come on.
26	Defeat 25 Monsters		A pack of skeleton gardeners is attempting to establish new colonies of vines in this section of the dungeon. Clear them out!
27	Defeat 25 Monsters		Vine blights grow in ranks in this humid arboretum -- and are intent on not letting you pass!
Celeste:	There's so much foulness in this place, it's hard to determine where to start breaking it down.
Deekin:	All this investigating is hungry work. Deekin needs a snack. Ooh, look! Apples!
Celeste:	Deekin - NO! Don't touch any of those. Look at this. All these rotten apples must be test crops Belak created while trying to perfect the dark magic the goblins have been spreading.
Bruenor:	Best we don't leave 'em lyin' around, then. Everybody start pickin'!
28	Collect 25 Rotten Apples		Grabbing up this foul fruit is made harder by the press of vine blights and skeletal gardeners around you. Work fast!
29	Defeat 25 Monsters		Each time you drive the vine blights back, the skeleton gardeners hinder your ability to finish them off. One more push!
Goblin Gardener:	What's all this racket? I step out for an hour, and you blasted skeletons start... Hey! Who are you? What are you doing in my garden?
Bruenor:	We're tryin' ta get outa yer garden as fast as we can, goblin. But these skeletons o' yers ain't makin' it easy on us.
Goblin Gardener:	No! The master's experiments! My precious sprouts! My mushrooms! All of it, ruined! You'll pay for this! You'll all pay!
30	Defeat the Goblin Gardener		The goblin gardener treats her fungi and plants like her children -- and looks ready to fight to the finish to protect them!
Bruenor:	I tell ye, that goblin had a lot o' fight in them fer someone armed with a shovel. All this gardenin' they been doin' down here is toughenin' these blighters up.
Celeste:	It's the power of the Gulthias Tree, Bruenor. It corrupts all it touches. And its pull is getting even stronger now.
Minsc:	End of gardens is just ahead, Celeste. More hallways beyond. More vines. Be wary, all. Minsc will lead the way.
31	Defeat 25 Monsters		A last rising of vine blights threatens you -- just as a pack of twig blights attacks from the other side!
32	Defeat 25 Monsters		The twig blights redouble their efforts to drive you back. Hold fast!
Nayeli:	The air here grows fouler. The sense of evil is so heavy I can almost touch it.
Celeste:	Everything here is tainted by the power of the grove and the Gulthias Tree. But we might use that to our advantage. Come.
33	Collect 25 Soil Samples		The soil of these halls holds the dark magic of the grove level. Take some samples while you can!
34	Defeat 25 Monsters		Still more twig blights press in. Don't let them surround you!
Bruenor:	We got blights ta all sides o' us! Everybody back! Set up a defensive line!
Jarlaxle:	Watch yourself, Bruenor! The ground is moving there.
Bruenor:	What tha... it's more undead risin'! Stay sharp!
35	Defeat the Armored Skeleton		An armored skeleton lurches up and into the fray -- and sets its sights on destroying you!
Bruenor:	This seems a mighty strange place ta be buryin' that powerful a threat. Ye ask me, that skeleton warrior was guardin' somethin'.
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	Is as Boo says! Friends! A dark cavern ahead, just beyond this hall. Packs of blights standing fast. Vines everywhere, and all is dark with purple light.
Celeste:	The Twilight Grove. We've made it, my friends.
Bruenor:	Made it ta tha entrance at least. But I ain't doubtin' that we got a lot o' ground still ta cover before tha end.
36	Defeat 25 Monsters		As another pack of twig blights presses you, a scout party of goblins attacks from range!
37	Defeat 25 Monsters		You need to clear out this goblin mob, and quickly -- but these twig blights keep your forces in disarray!
Nayeli:	Those goblins were keen to break in the end. Clearly, they fear Belak only slightly less than they fear us.
Celeste:	I shudder to think of what the druid might have done to bend the goblins to his service. But they'll be free of that service when we're done with him.
38	Defeat 4 Barricades		An eruption of briars slows you down -- and allows the twig blights to attack with impunity! Clear the way!
Jarlaxle:	More goblins inbound. And there's a familiar voice shouting at them.
Balsag:	Form up that line! Now move, curse you all! Time to teach these surface-dwelling scum a lesson!
Bruenor:	There's that bugbear hunter back again, and hidin' behind them goblin troops like a craven. Oi, Balsag! If it's a fight ye're lookin' fer, ye can find it right here!
39	Defeat 25 Monsters		Balsag is back, but this mob of goblin thralls makes for chaos on the battlefield!
Balsag:	Stand fast, you weak-willed goblin maggots! Any of you who run will face my wrath! And if any of these adventurers disturb Belak, I'll have all your heads!
Bruenor:	I think yer wrath has had its day, hunter, same as yer master's dark magic. Ye're gonna let these goblins go their way. And then ye and I can finish this once and fer all.
40	Defeat the Balsag the Hunter		The goblins respond to Balsag's commands with fearful rage. Hit this bugbear hunter hard!
Bruenor:	That's tha last o' tha goblins gone. And no sign o' them blights. Does that seem suspicious ta anyone else?
Celeste:	Whoever's controlling them has realized that we can't be taken down in a frontal assault. They've fallen back to make a defensive stand. We're close to the end.
Bruenor:	Ye think it's that Belak who's pullin' them blights' strings? They followin' his orders all mental-like?
Celeste:	No. I think the Gulthias Tree is the true master here. And when we face Belak, we need to remember that.
41	Defeat 25 Monsters		Nasty needle blights guard this cavern -- but the swarming of giant flies makes this dangerous ground! Watch out!
Celeste:	These blights are a veritable army! We must push them back!
Belak:	Better you would try to push back the tide, heathen. For the power of the Gulthias Tree is a black tide that will wash across all lands. And where its bright fruit spreads, its blighted children will take root.
Bruenor:	Belak tha Outcast, I presume? Ye're a hard one ta find. But now that we found ye, ye'd best make yer peace with whatever gods o' malice brought ye here.
Celeste:	That's how this works. I understand it now. The magic apples are spread by the goblins, and where their seeds fall, blights grow and flourish. They'll cover all Faerûn in the end.
Nayeli:	Where are the adventurers? Talgen, Sharwyn, and Sir Bradford? Tell us.
Belak:	Oh, you'll meet Sharwyn and Bradford soon enough. But Talgen was unfortunately disposed of by that wretched hobgoblin chief, whose death I should thank you for. It saves me the trouble of dealing with his insolence. But how to choose which of you will take his place?
Nayeli:	You think any of us would serve you, madman?
Belak:	Serve me? No. But you will all serve the power that dwells here. Listen! The Gulthias Tree is calling you...
42	Defeat 25 Monsters		As the needle blights fall back, vine blights press in -- protecting the sinister figure who does the bidding of the Gulthias Tree!
43	Collect 25 Giant Fly Wings		Keeping these flies on the ground might be the only way to hinder their swarming!
44	Defeat 25 Monsters		Twig blights! Vine blights! Needle blights! All the unnatural forces of the grove are arrayed against you!
Bruenor:	We got this druid close ta down and beaten. But these blasted blights is like a wall around him!
Belak:	You think you can defeat the power of this grove, dwarf? Kill me if you can. But even if you do, the Gulthias Tree will be the end of all of you!
Nayeli:	Your death will be small atonement for your crimes, druid. And I promise that when we're done with you, the evil of your tree will not survive you for long!
45	Defeat the Belak the Outcast		Belak the Outcast makes a last stand! Time for the master of the grove to pay for his evil deeds!
Celeste:	The blights started falling back as soon as the druid fell. Answering the call of their creator.
Nayeli:	And still no sign of the surviving prisoners. I fear the worst.
46	Defeat 25 Monsters		The ruins that surround the center of the grove are swarming with blights! Push through!
47	Defeat 25 Monsters		The faster you clear them away, the faster these blights seem to push out from the ruins around you!
Nayeli:	There! On the far side of the ruins. The Gulthias Tree!
Bruenor:	By me gran's topiary tarrasque! That's some sinister-lookin' plant, and make no mistake.
Jarlaxle:	I can see someone there. Two figures, watching our approach.
Erky Timbers:	That's Sharwyn and Sir Bradford! I recognize them. But why are they just standing there? Are they bound? Or...?
Celeste:	No... it's worse than that, I fear. The power here... Belak's threat that we would serve. The tree has corrupted them. We need to reach them, and quickly!
48	Collect 25 Black Bark Samples		The black bark shed by the Gulthias Tree feeds the growth of the blights. Gather it up to slow their advance!
49	Defeat 25 Monsters		A guardian pack of giant frogs surrounds the evil tree. Push through!
Bruenor:	Oi! Lady Sharwyn! Sir Bradford! We're here ta help ya!
Nayeli:	Oh, gods... their eyes...
Celeste:	I'm sorry, my friends. We're too late. The corruption of the Gulthias Tree has consumed them, mind and soul. They'll defend it to the last.
Nayeli:	Then we need to put an end to their suffering by vanquishing this evil. The Gulthias Tree must be destroyed!
50	Defeat the Gulthias Tree & Its Thrall		Though you're too late to save the tree's enthralled guardians, you can ensure that no one else ever succumbs to its evil. Finish this fight!
Bruenor:	Everybody okay? Nayeli? That tree's naught but kindlin' now. We all done good here.
Nayeli:	I'll be fine, Bruenor. So much loss just makes the victory sting.
Erky Timbers:	We can lay Sharwyn and Sir Bradford to rest up above. And look here -- each wore a signet ring. I can return these to their families. They'll have some closure at least.
Celeste:	Champions, our mission here is done. Time to leave this place and take some well-earned rest, before we discover where the fates will take us next.
