Thieves of the Coven | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dive deeper into the mysteries of the Witchlight Carnival while you continue to look for Jenks & Squiddly. | ||||||
Area | Goal | Quests & Cinematics | ||||
Bruenor: |
"Right, kenku. Ye've gotta long list of crimes. Ye've bin ruinin' the carnival, pretty sure yeh've stolen that mime's voice, and now yeh've kidnapped our Squiddly and Jenks!" | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Give back Candlefoot's voice and then you're coming with us, thief." | |||||
Kettlesteam: |
"It was only for attention. No harm, no foul--let the man speak! But listen to me: I have a fey pact with Zybilna of Prismeer. Zybilna must be freed!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Your patron has been captured? Why do you think that?" | |||||
Kettlesteam: |
"Hello? Hello? No one's answering. Something's rotten in the Witchlight Carnival! 'Good day to you, Mistress Kenku, enjoy the show but trouble us not.'" | |||||
Minsc: |
"Minsc knows that voice! It's that fancy long elf, Mr. Light!" | |||||
Boo: |
"Squeak!" | |||||
Minsc: |
"No, Boo, rabbits do not speak the common tongue--oh wait you mean there are rabbits pouring into the tent! Look out!" | |||||
1 | Defeat 25 Rabbits | Vicious rabbits storm the Big Top Stage! Something is clearly awry! Clear them out. | ||||
Celeste: |
"So, your patron isn't responding to your entreaties, and you think Witch and Light have something to do with it? It's not as if this carnival is a portal to the Feywild." | |||||
Kettlesteam: |
"Oh, but it is! Down the dim and dusky dell -- but the door won't open. I can't even find it. It's not for me. Those elves know more than they're saying. 'Enjoy the Show but trouble us not.'" | |||||
Celeste: |
"You think they can open the door to Prismeer but they're dodging you?" | |||||
Minsc: |
"So many different voices from one beak! It is giving me a headache." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Not to interrupt this incredibly awkward exchange, but we haven't finished with the rabbits." | |||||
2 | Defeat 25 Rabbits | These rabbits are reproducing like...rabbits! Take care of them! | ||||
Kettlesteam: |
"Listen! Listen! 'Someone's going to find out about this, Mr. Witch! They'll shut us down!'" | |||||
Celeste: |
"That's Mr. Light, and he sounds afraid." | |||||
Kettlesteam: |
"'We agreed to this pact. Our hands were forced but our eyes were open. We let the Hourglass Coven take what it wants, and in return we stay in business.'" | |||||
Nayeli: |
"And that gravelly voice must be Mr. Witch's! But what is the Hourglass Coven?" | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] Is that who took Squiddly and Jenks?" | |||||
Kettlesteam: |
"The only way to be sure is to open the door. We're on the same side! Witch and Light, they know too much. Help me, Champions, you're my only hope!" | |||||
Burly: |
"Get back here you boggles! Give back those tickets! Argh! Why is everything going wrong?" | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] It's that bugbear from before! The one that reports to Witch and Light." | |||||
Burly: |
"Champions? There you are! The bosses sent me to fetch you." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Oh, that gives me an idea..." | |||||
Burly: |
"But I gotta get these tickets back first--the boggles definitely didn't pay!" | |||||
3 | Collect 25 Oily Tickets | Those boggles are back and they've stolen more tickets. Grab what you can before they get away! | ||||
4 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Boggles AND rabbits? There's hardly anywhere to stand! Clear the floor. | ||||
Nayeli: |
"I don't like this plan. It's wicked, stealing from the owners." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"First of all, we're not stealing. Kettlesteam is. Second, don't you want to find Squiddly and Jenks?" | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Of course I do! But there are consequences for wicked actions. We steal because it furthers our plans--is that not every thief's excuse? What about the next person who steals from you?" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"I mean, they can try." | |||||
Celeste: |
"We're giving back the Witchlight watch when we're finished. The trouble we're causing is limited." | |||||
Pixie: |
"OH IS IT? I warned you to stay away, and now look what's happened!" | |||||
Bruenor: |
"'Tis that blasted pixie again! Get yer axes up!" | |||||
5 | Defeat the Pixie riding a Rabbit | That pixie is back with an army of boggles and rabbits! Send her back where she came from! | ||||
Celeste: |
"If that pixie is going to keep following us, I wish she'd at least be more specific about her warnings." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"If we're wishing, let's just wish she'd stay away." | |||||
Burly: |
"Are you coming to talk to the bosses?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Of course, Sir Bugbear. Lead on." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"If we're gonna make the drow's plan work, we need to get to Mr. Light and Mr. Witch a'fore Kettlesteam does." | |||||
Celeste: |
"That would be a lot easier if there weren't so many boggles on the path! Where are they all coming from?" | |||||
Burly: |
"All I know is that bad things keep happening at the carnival. It didn't used to be like this. I hope that's what the bosses want from you -- getting real tired of swatting boggles myself." | |||||
6 | Defeat 25 Boggles | Your path to Mr. Witch and Mr. Light is crowded with grimy boggles. Clear the way so you can put your plan to action! | ||||
7 | Defeat 25 Boggles | The boggles continue to ruin the carnival's fun. Take care of them before they cause any more trouble. | ||||
Mr. Light: |
"Ah the Champions at last! Let me introduce my associate, Mr. Witch. He's heard a great deal about you." | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"Yes, I've heard you're causing chaos all over our carnival." | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"I'm sure you mean clearing up chaos. That business with the goblins was well-timed indeed. Ah Burly, where's your hat? You look so strange without it. So...plain." | |||||
Burly: |
"That dratted pixie stole it, and then riled up the giant frogs! They're jumping around, smashing all the pumpkins up. I can't make a new hat with these battered jack-o-lanterns!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Surely one of these gourds can be salvaged?" | |||||
8 | Collect 25 Lightly Smashed Pumpkins | Gather up the least smashed pumpkins to make a new hat for Burly the bugbear. | ||||
9 | Defeat 25 Giant Frogs | The giant frogs are running amok in the pumpkin guts -- what a slippery, slimy mess! Take care of them! | ||||
Burly: |
"How do I look?" | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"Much, much better. The orange sets off your...face." | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"Well Champions, I suppose you've 'saved the day' again. And made a mess of our staff area." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Hmm. He's charming. I'll bet my plan sounds a lot better now." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Did that man being unpleasant resolve the inherent moral issues? No, it did not." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"We gotta keep those two distracted long 'nuff for Kettlesteam to steal the Witchlight watch. But what's gonna keep their attention that long?" | |||||
Baeloth: |
"This sounds like a job for Baeloth the Entertainer. Ah, Mr. Witch, Mr. Light, I notice your carnival lacks some more martial options." | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"People fighting is bad for business. My partner gave you all a pass, but --" | |||||
Baeloth: |
"No, no, I don't mean battling for free -- you'd charge admission! I'm talking about a combat performance! A show of gladiatorial strength! It's very popular in my neck of the woods." | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"A combat show? That sounds difficult to...clean up after." | |||||
Baeloth: |
"Not at all! Why with a little illusion you can create anything you want and then make it all go away. Let me show you why they call me Baeloth the Entertainer!" | |||||
Baeloth: |
"Picture this, my friends: the Champions arrive on stage. Lights! Music! Maybe a suitably dramatic mist rolling across the floor. Then! A figure appears! One of the most dangerous enemies I myself have ever faced! The Master of Undermountain himself --" | |||||
Havilar: |
"Hey, I know that guy! It's...Alabaster Bootyclap!" | |||||
10 | Defeat Alabaster Bootyclap | Battle, uh, Alabaster...Bootyclap? Give Mr. Witch and Mr. Light a good show! | ||||
Mr. Witch: |
"..." | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"..." | |||||
Baeloth: |
"Extraordinary exploits, wouldn't you say?" | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"That's it? Your show is fighting one wizard?" | |||||
Baeloth: |
"Defeating the one and only Halaster Blackcloak of Undermountain! A sinister and superior spellcaster feared across Faerûn!" | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"You can't rely on the audience knowing who all your friends are, pal. Good effort, but we'll pass." | |||||
Havilar: |
"Also, I'm pretty sure he was called Alabaster Bootyclap." | |||||
Baeloth: |
"You're not helping! And I'm not finished! That was just the opening act!" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"I see Kettlesteam over there by the tent wall! Keep their attention on you!" | |||||
Baeloth: |
"Now that the crowd's warmed up, let's add in something very distracting -- I mean dramatic! Very dramatic! TWENTY-FIVE FANCY RED PANDAS ON UNICYCLES!" | |||||
11 | Defeat 25 Illusory Fancy Red Pandas | These red panda illusions are very distracting! Keep Mr. Witch and Mr. Light's attention off Kettlesteam with your flashiest fighting skills! | ||||
Mr. Witch: |
"I'm confused. And yet, I can't look away." | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"I didn't know red pandas could ride unicycles." | |||||
Baeloth: |
"What's that? You want more? DOUBLE THE RED PANDAS!" | |||||
12 | Defeat 25 Illusory Fancy Red Pandas | Bigger! Better! Faster! Stronger! Give Mr. Witch and Mr. Light the show of a lifetime! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Kettlesteam is right behind Mr. Witch. Keep talking!" | |||||
Baeloth: |
"Then, just when the crowd is growing tired of adorable red pandas on unicycles, we bring in the PINK ELEPHANTS!" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Wait! What? No, no, no, no, no! Not that! Anything but that!" | |||||
Baeloth: |
"Anything? How about pink elephants WITH TRUNKS FULL OF GLITTERING GEMS! Whoops! They're getting everywhere. How distracting! I mean, dazzling!" | |||||
13 | Collect 25 Piles of Gems | Those sparkly gem piles might buy you some time. Collect them up for Mr. Witch and Mr. Light. | ||||
Bruenor: |
"At some point elf, you're gonna hafta tell the tale o' why yer so afraid of pink elephants." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"How could you possibly suggest I stop in the middle of this very important operation to save two innocent children, so that your curiosity can be sated? I'm going to pretend you didn't mention this." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Oi, it's real embarrassin', ain't it?" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"...Quite." | |||||
Baeloth: |
"Then the music builds, the lights sweep the stage -- suddenly all of our excellently engaging and eye-catching foes have returned, battling us together in a chaotic crescendo!" | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"GASP! They were working together all along?" | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"The cute red pandas and funny elephants?" | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"Shh! Shh! Shh! This is getting good!" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"And Kettlesteam is going in for the grab." | |||||
14 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Kettlesteam is stealing the Witchlight watch from Mr. Witch's pocket. Redouble your efforts to keep his attention -- Squiddly and Jenks are counting on you! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Kettlesteam's got the watch! Now we have to cover her escape!" | |||||
Baeloth: |
"Not to worry, I've saved the best for last. We've wowed them with perplexing pandas and phenomenal elephants. They think they know what's coming and that's when we bring in the RAGING RED DRAGON!" | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"Whaaaaaat?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Baeloth, a little restraint!" | |||||
Baeloth: |
"I have to give the people what they want! And Mr. Light clearly wants a red dragon! Just look at him! I have him in the palm of my hand!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"But Mr. Witch looks less convinced." | |||||
15 | Defeat the Young Red Dragon | This red dragon might only be an illusion, but you've got to make it look good! Cover Kettlesteam's escape and finish off Baeloth's show! | ||||
Celeste: |
"Kettlesteam's gotten away! Thank the Moonmaiden this scheme is nearly finished." | |||||
Baeloth: |
"Well, what did you think of the show?" | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"Enthralling! You lost me with the dragon though. It was big...but it lacked presence. Who is this dragon? Why is it here?" | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"I don't foresee us doing business together." | |||||
Baeloth: |
"...I beg your pardon?" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Stay calm, Baeloth. The whole thing's a ruse, remember." | |||||
Baeloth: |
"But my ruses work! Mr. Witch, Mr. Light, surely two such discerning fellows --" | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"Wait a moment! My watch! Some thief has stolen my watch!" | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"The Witchlight watch isn't just a timepiece. It controls the whole carnival! In the wrong hands, they could take the Witchlight carnival anywhere they wanted!" | |||||
Nayeli: |
"Sounds like something you wouldn't want in the hands of an untrustworthy person with a grudge who you've only just met." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Don't glare at me like that." | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"I'll bet it's that kenku who's been making trouble all over the carnival! I knew she'd make all our problems worse!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"What problems are those Mr. Light? Is there something wrong with the carnival?" | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"Nevermind that! Can you or can't you find that kenku and my watch?" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"I think we can handle this matter just fine." | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"Start by cleaning up your friend's mess -- those red pandas have made a mess of the Bubble Pot Teapot." | |||||
16 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The plan to steal the Witchlight watch has come together perfectly. Now to find Kettlesteam! Fight your way through these red pandas and acid bubbles | ||||
Celeste: |
"Is it possible Kettlesteam has used our needs to her own ends? Was this all a trick to claim the Witchlight watch for herself?" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Possible? Of course, it's possible -- people are terrible. Present company excluded, of course." | |||||
Minsc: |
"Minsc would note, we defeated the kenku once before. If needs be, we can do it again." | |||||
Boo: |
"Squeak!" | |||||
Minsc: |
"Fair point -- we should find her first." | |||||
Ellywick: |
"Well met, Champions. You've been busy!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Ellywick, did you discover anything about what's going on in the Witchlight Carnival?" | |||||
Ellywick: |
"Not enough, my new friend. But the ballad I will make of this adventure will be legendary! The creatures menacing the carnival tell me that my lute strings have led me into something too big for just one plane. Boggles, pixies, angry wildlife--something is very wrong in the Feywild, and I suspect it begins with Prismeer." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Indeed--given Kettlesteam's concerns about Zybilna not responding to her, I think it's very likely Prismeer is missing its queen. What happens when a fey realm loses its archfey?" | |||||
Ellywick: |
"Why someone else steps in to take her place, most assuredly. Power rushes in to fill a void--and looks like acid bubbles rush in to fill an absence of red pandas. Let's take care of these!" | |||||
17 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Now to clear out the acid bubbles the red pandas left behind. This ride will be good as new soon! | ||||
Celeste: |
"Selûne preserve us -- who left that disgusting log in the path?" | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] It's covered in poop! Hahaha!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Nat!" | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Gonna give it a guess and blame tha blasted pixies! They're back again!" | |||||
18 | Defeat 25 Enemies | This disgusting log is blocking the path and giving those pixies space to attack! Clear it out! | ||||
19 | Defeat 25 Pixies | Without the poop-covered log in your way, you can take out the pixies still causing trouble. | ||||
Celeste: |
"I don't know what is happening in the Feywild, or whether that's what is upsetting these pixies, but it's no excuse for leaving...excrement in the path." | |||||
Ellywick: |
"Hold that thought. The pixies are tricksy, but I think I spy our true troublemaker over by the Big Top Stage." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"That little grayish-green thing? It looks like a frog met a tiny hag. What is that?" | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Wha'e'er it is, it's headed inta tha tent where Kettlesteam's suppose ta be." | |||||
Celeste: |
"After it!" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Look, there's Kettlesteam--I told you she'd hold up her end." | |||||
Celeste: |
"There's Kettlesteam, but she's being mobbed by those strange creatures." | |||||
Kettlesteam: |
"Get back! Get back! I've got my ticket! I'm off-limits!" | |||||
Lornling: |
"No ticket, no ticket. Greasy boggles have thy ticket, so lornlings have thy treasures. Tribute for Hither, Tribute for Bavlorna." | |||||
Kettlesteam: |
"Get your filthy hands off me!" | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"Yaaaah! I told you there'd be trouble! I told you so! Now look what's happened!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"We don't know what's happened -- stop shouting vague things at us, it's very rude!" | |||||
Pixie Leader: |
"That's it! Pixies! Attack them all!" | |||||
20 | Defeat the Pixie Riding a Crocodile | You've found a strange new enemy--the lornlings--but that pixie is back again making trouble. Defeat her quickly and figure out what's going on! | ||||
Kettlesteam: |
"Lornlings and their sticky fingers! They made off with the Witchlight watch!" | |||||
Ellywick: |
"You lost your ticket, didn't you. What a twist they've discovered! Whispers say there are strange thieves that work the Witchlight Carnival--that they cannot steal from the paying customers, but they have free rein on the ones who sneak in." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Oi, these lornlings might be tha ones who made off with our Squiddly and Jenks too! After them!" | |||||
Minsc: |
"More tracks -- many tiny, wet feet bounding this way, two of them carrying something heavy. This is definitely where those lornlings went." | |||||
Boo: |
"Squeak!" | |||||
Minsc: |
"Ah, correct, Boo. They are also right in front of us." | |||||
21 | Defeat 25 Lornlings | A swarm of lornlings surges over the path. Time to get these creepy fey under control! | ||||
Dirlagraun: |
"Back you foul creatures! You're bound by the carnival agreement!" | |||||
Lornling: |
"The agreement, aye, the agreement. But we have a tribute that will change things, yes. Guard your tongue, fearsome beast, and when Bavlorna comes, you might serve." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Dirlagraun's being menaced by those lornlings! And they've got the Witchlight watch!" | |||||
22 | Defeat 25 Enemies | What an unpleasant bunch! Stop the lornlings that are harassing Dirlagraun and try to get the Witchlight watch back. | ||||
Bruenor: |
"Blast! Tha lornlings with tha watch've scarpered off!" | |||||
Dirlagraun: |
"They've left a mess--lost items everywhere--and it's drawing will-o'-wisps! Help me chase them away Champions! Before the children start following after these tricky lights!" | |||||
23 | Collect 25 Lost Items | Collect up the lost items before the will-o'-wisps make off with them and lure more children away! | ||||
24 | Defeat 25 Lornlings | Now that's cleared up, take out more lornlings looking for the Witchlight watch thieves. | ||||
Lornling: |
"Persistent hunters, yes. But we have helpers, even in this world. You want to follow, it will not be simple. Pixies! Bring us a defender worthy of Bavlorna Blightstraw!" | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Another shamblin' mound!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Well, whoever this Bavlorna is, their aesthetic is very clear. And swampy." | |||||
25 | Defeat the Shambling Mound | The lornlings have enlisted a shambling mound to cover their escape. Defeat it and get after those thieves! | ||||
Ellywick: |
"Bavlorna...hmm...Bavlorna Blightstraw." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Do ye know somethin', bard? Now's the time ta share it." | |||||
Ellywick: |
"Unfortunately, I do not. But the way the pixies have fallen in to assist--though their distaste is clear as a nursery song melody--suggests that this Bavlorna is powerful and probably fey." | |||||
Celeste: |
"And muddy. Let's chase down those lornlings and get back the watch." | |||||
26 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The lornlings are fleeing through the Witchlight Carnival, enlisting the local will-o'-wisps to distract you! Stay focused! | ||||
27 | Defeat 25 Lornlings | These grimy little fey are slippery! Clear a path to the one with the Witchlight watch! | ||||
28 | Collect 25 Fey Mushrooms | The lornlings are throwing mushrooms at the giant riding dragonflies, and the whole swarm is spooked! Gather those tricky mushrooms up. | ||||
Nat: |
"[signs] Look there's Candlefoot!" | |||||
Candlefoot: |
"Champions! I'm not sure what you did, but I've got my voice back! I was just about to seek out Palasha, to tell her of my good fortune--and try my suit again!" | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Quick! Have ye seen any teeny frog-hag beasties around, lad?" | |||||
Candlefoot: |
"...I'm sorry? Have I seen what?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"They're called lornlings and they've stolen the Witchlight watch." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"That's right. THEY'VE stolen the watch. Let's all remember that." | |||||
Candlefoot: |
"Oh! We're not supposed to talk about the thieves. But they're not supposed to harm the carnival--that's what Mr. Witch and Mr. Light told us. And if they have the Witchlight watch all manner of worse things could happen! But I haven't seen them." | |||||
Celeste: |
"I think we're close--I see some of their allies coming this way!" | |||||
29 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Defeat the giant riding dragonflies and will-o'-wisps those lornlings have sent after Candlefoot! | ||||
Lornling: |
"You should not have followed, Champions, you should not have followed at all! Now lornlings have the high ground, yes. The highest ground! You cannot stop us! We make for Hither with our precious tribute!" | |||||
Ellywick: |
"For Bavlorna, yes? Of the Hourglass Coven perhaps?" | |||||
Lornling: |
"Hiss! That's not for you to know, planeswalker. Lornlings! Attack!" | |||||
30 | Defeat the Lornling Riding a Giant Dragonfly | That lornling thief has found a mount! Knock the giant dragonfly out of the air and reclaim the Witchlight watch! | ||||
Lornling: |
"Oof! This plane is hard, yes, hard and cold. We mislike it." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Aye yer grounded now, ye little frog-hag beastie! Now yer gonna tell us what's goin' on! Who're ye workin' for? Where're our Squiddly and Jenks? But firs' hand over the watch." | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] Wait! It doesn't have the watch!" | |||||
Sowpig: |
"Trinket, trinket, Sowpig has the trinket..." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Over there in the shadows! It's another of the thieves!" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"That creepy little girl in the mask?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"The Moonmaiden's powers suggest you mean 'little ghoul'! And she's getting away with the watch!" | |||||
31 | Defeat 25 Will-o'-Wisps | Pursue the masked thief--but first, these lornlings haven't fled back to the Feywild yet. Send them running! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Seems like the Witchlight Carnival's not as thief-free as advertised." | |||||
Ellywick: |
"I'd bet my lute they're part of the deal the owners have with the Hourglass Coven. The lornlings noted Kettlesteam didn't have a ticket anymore, which made her fair game. And Candlefoot said the thieves weren't allowed to harm the carnival." | |||||
Nayeli: |
"And now Jarlaxle's scheming has allowed them a way to do just that." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Given you'd probably have a lecture for me about how we shouldn't use time-altering magic, even if we had some, let's leave the past to the past. Two doesn't make a coven--there will be more thieves afoot." | |||||
32 | Defeat 25 Lornlings | More lornlings linger in the carnival path as you chase the masked ghoul! Defeat them quickly! | ||||
33 | Collect 25 Waterskins of Clean Water | This thief has riled up the boggles again! Greasy, grimy messes everywhere! Collect clean water to wash the carnival path! | ||||
Palasha: |
"Ah! Help! Get away boggles! Away! You're dirtying my water! And redcaps? How can I perform under these conditions?" | |||||
Sowpig: |
"Sing us a song, a song, a song! Lure them to the shore and then they'll be no more!" | |||||
Palasha: |
"Excuse me, I am not that kind of mermaid!" | |||||
Sowpig: |
"Pretty lady is that kind of distraction though--keep them busy and Sowpig scampers off to Thither. So many treats Skabatha will give for this lovely, lovely trinket..." | |||||
Candlefoot: |
"Palasha my love! No!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"All right, this has gone on long enough! Give us the Witchlight watch!" | |||||
34 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Beat back the boggles and redcaps threatening Palasha the mermaid so you can get to the masked thief! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
"As one professional to another, I suggest you forfeit that watch, little girl." | |||||
Sowpig: |
"Skabatha says mustn't talk to strangers..." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Skabatha? That's the name of the one who controls you? Are they an archfey like Zybilna?" | |||||
Sowpig: |
"Zybilna won't trouble you, sweetling. She's just a fairy story now." | |||||
Kettlesteam: |
"Villains! Monsters! What have you done with her?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"It doesn't have to be like this, Sowpig. You could come with us instead." | |||||
Sowpig: |
"Skabatha says mustn't talk to strangers...Skabatha says smash them instead!" | |||||
35 | Defeat Sowpig | You've cornered Sowpig! Take back the Witchlight watch before she can escape to the Feywild! | ||||
Sowpig: |
"Cheater, cheater, boggle-eater--you're tricksy heroes, that's what you are!" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Enough with the creepy singsong! Give us the watch!" | |||||
Sowpig: |
"Hmmph. Tricksy AND imperceptive. Don't have the watch, didn't you notice? Stupid shadow that pretends to be Gleam snatched it." | |||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
"That's my cue. Goodbye, Champions. Endelyn will send her thanks for the gift from far-off, rocky Yon. Maybe." | |||||
Celeste: |
"A third thief!" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Oh great, a shadow. And she's getting away!" | |||||
36 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Sowpig has fled, but her minions are still menacing Palasha! Clear out these redcaps and boggles before you pursue the last thief! | ||||
Candlefoot: |
"...and so you see I couldn't speak to you, my love. My voice had been stolen. But now that it's returned, I wish to ask you the most important of questions. Will you marry me?" | |||||
Palasha: |
"Oh, Candlefoot! Nothing would make me happier!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Awwww! Let's...give them some privacy." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"And chase that thief! Are you forgetting we still don't have the watch? And we don't know where Squiddly and Jenks were taken!" | |||||
Ellywick: |
"But we do know more about the thieves' masters: We have a Bavlorna, a Skabatha, and an Endelyn. Three is a more appropriate number for a 'coven', don't you think?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Let's catch that shadow and find out." | |||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
"Redcaps--how Thither. Let's put a little twist of Yon in this escapade. Chaos and shadow it is." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Look, 'tis those protestin' goblins! They're back again. But they're fiercer than ever. They're fightin' with the redcaps!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"And that shadow thief is escaping! Clear a path!" | |||||
37 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The shadow went this way--but the redcaps Sowpig left behind are warring with those goblins! Take them out and clear the path! | ||||
Ellywick: |
"Bavlorna, Skabatha, Endelyn...Hither, Thither, and Yon...I wonder..." | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] I'm so chilly!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"It's cold wherever that shadow passes! Poor Nat! Here, if you gather up some of those goblin leg warmers, we can make a blanket." | |||||
38 | Collect 25 Goblin Leg Warmers | Those goblin leg warmers look nice and furry. Collect enough to fashion a blanket for Nat. | ||||
Nikolas: |
"Why if it isn't Gleam, the marvelous acrobat? Haven't seen you around here in ages! You're looking...thin. Where's your sister?" | |||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
"Ages and ages--Gleam's almost forgotten this place." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Nikolas! Look out! That's nae yer friend!" | |||||
Nikolas: |
"Oh, Champions! You can't have seen all the carnivals delights already? Have you ridden the Bubble-Pot Teapot? It's my favorite. And have you met Gleam? She and her sister would perform the most amazing feats of acrobatics...but she's, uh, she's been gone a long time." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"And she's still gone, ya fool! I said that's nae yer friend! And those bubbles dinna look fun swoopin' in as they are!" | |||||
39 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Goblins and acid bubbles--oh no! You'll never catch the shadow thief if you can't carve a path to her! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
"All right, let's try this again: We have you cornered thief! Hand over the Witchlight watch!" | |||||
Kettlesteam: |
"Zybilna! Do you hear me? What have you done with her?" | |||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
"These sound like questions for someone who cares. Get out of my way, I'm expected back. You wouldn't like what happens when you disappoint Endelyn Moongrave." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"And that sounds like a threat for someone who cares--Champions, attack!" | |||||
40 | Defeat Gleam's Detached Shadow | You've surrounded Gleam's shadow--defeat her and get the Witchlight watch back! | ||||
Celeste: |
"Gleam's shadow is getting away! She's heading toward the Hall of Illusions!" | |||||
Nat: |
"[signs] But we got the Witchlight watch! Your plan worked, Jarlaxle!" | |||||
Nayeli: |
"I think 'worked' is a bit strong." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"I'm willing to admit this plan was more complicated than I anticipated. I blame the otherworldly thieves I couldn't possibly have predicted." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Enough! I think it's time to get some answers from Mr. Witch and Mr. Light." | |||||
Ellywick: |
"So, Mr. Witch and Mr. Light are protecting a Feywild crossing to Prismeer. The thieves serve the Hourglass Coven who those two have made a deal with. And Zybilna, ruler of Prismeer is missing--likely because of the coven, if I understood those thieves' intimations. That sounds like it might be the source of the carnival's troubles too. And maybe what's taken your friends." | |||||
Celeste: |
"That's why we should move with all haste. We're so close to finding Squiddly and Jenks!" | |||||
Nikolas: |
"Hold up a moment! You can't just leave! What am I supposed to do about all these goblins running amok! I'm an old man! Brawling with goblins is a young person's game!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Um, we're in a bit of a hurry--" | |||||
Nikolas: |
"Nonsense! Shouldn't take you more than two flicks of a wyvern's tail! And you can't see the bosses while the carnival's falling down around us!" | |||||
41 | Defeat 25 Goblins | The goblins have overrun the entrance! Help Nikolas by driving them back! | ||||
42 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Oh no! More goblins have gotten into the carnival and sabotaged the Bubble Pot Teapot! You know what to do! | ||||
43 | Collect 25 Goblin Trinkets | The goblins are scattering souvenirs all over! Help pick them up before you head on! | ||||
Mr. Light: |
"Dratted machine! What's gotten into it? These bubbles won't stop coming! They're peeling the paint from the wagons where they pop! How dreadful!" | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"It's those goblins again, I'm sure of it." | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"Or the boggles or the redcaps or the frogs--you have to admit, old friend, we've stuck our hands in the hornet's nest. This deal is coming back to sting!" | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"Shush! The Champions have returned! I trust you've not come empty-handed?" | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"Forgive us for not meeting you, but there's a situation with the Bubble Pot Teapot!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Don't worry! We'll handle it for you!" | |||||
44 | Defeat 25 Acid Bubbles | The acid bubbles make this area too dangerous to talk--pop them carefully or they'll damage you too! | ||||
Celeste: |
"Mr. Witch! Mr. Light! We're back and we've got--" | |||||
Baeloth: |
"A finale to blow your hats back! Sit back and enjoy as Baeloth the Entertainer presents--" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Baeloth! We're done with this part! Show's over! The con didn't work!" | |||||
Baeloth: |
"My cons ALWAYS work, and I'm not leaving until they admit my show is better than anything they've got going. So, get on your marks, Champions, and Mr. Witch, Mr. Light: enjoy, as Baeloth the Entertainer presents, fresh from the far off lands of Chult--or something like it anyway--the new and improved KING OF FEATHERS!" | |||||
45 | Defeat the King of Feathers | Yes, this is happening! Defeat Baeloth's illusion--and do it with some STYLE! | ||||
Mr. Light: |
"That...was..." | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"Magnificent! Monumental! Most thrilling, indeed!" | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"We'd be honored to add your King of Feathers act to our Big Top show!" | |||||
Baeloth: |
"Thank you, thank you, thank you very much...but you can't possibly afford Baeloth the Entertainer, I won't embarrass you with numbers. Anyway, something about a Feywild crossing? Us going to Prismeer?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"[sighs] Thank you, Baeloth." | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"You...know about the portal to Prismeer?" | |||||
Celeste: |
"We do, and since we've recovered the Witchlight watch, I think it's only fair you explain what's going on to us." | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"Zybilna is the Witchlight Carnival's...benefactor, let us say. We guard her crossing most carefully. Whatever is stolen here is stolen because rules were broken, and it's taken back to Prismeer and Zybilna." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Including children?" | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"Some questions we don't ask. But Zybilna isn't a wicked sort. She takes care of her realm and all those in it." | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"But Zybilna's not responding anymore. Your deal's with someone else now." | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"We...couldn't say." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Couldn't or won't?" | |||||
Lornling: |
"Shush! Shush! Little shadow elves talk too much!" | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"Lornlings everywhere! Oh, ruin and doom! We're in big trouble now!" | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Oi, give us a tick, ye panicky elves! We'll sort 'em out." | |||||
46 | Defeat 25 Lornlings | Those lornlings are back! Protect Mr. Witch and Mr. Light! | ||||
Mr. Light: |
"It's this way. In the Hall of Illusions. That's where the passage to Prismeer is kept." | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"We don't know for certain what's on the other side anymore. We can't prepare you." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"Didya miss we're tha Champions, lads? We're plenty prepared!" | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"There is one thing you should know: you cannot turn back. Once you travel through the mirror, you will be in Prismeer--or whatever is left of it--until and unless you can find another route home." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Wait! Was that Sowpig running past? Are the thieves still around?" | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
"Her boggles are certainly still around! Look alive, Champions!" | |||||
47 | Defeat 25 Boggles | The boggles Sowpig set after you are still ready to fight! Clear the way! | ||||
Mr. Witch: |
"Those thieves seem like they've found a way around the bargain. They're destroying the carnival. Once you're through, Champions, we'll need to pack up and move along." | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"Look at this mess! Insolent troublemakers! They have no respect for joy or delight! People love our Witchlight vane toys, and they're just throwing them in the dirt to be crushed and forgotten! That's a child's joy you're crushing, Sir Redcap! A child's joy!" | |||||
Celeste: |
"Let's just pick these up as we go. I don't think the redcaps are going to help." | |||||
48 | Collect 25 Witchlight Vanes | Those snarling redcaps are making a mess! Let's clean it up--and make then regret causing trouble! | ||||
49 | Defeat 25 Will-o'-Wisps | The will-o'-wisps seem drawn to the Hall of Illusions. Take them out before they lure people away! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
"I don't see the thieves...but they ran in here. Everyone stay on guard." | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"The mirror is right through here. Remember: you cannot come back this way." | |||||
Gleam's Detached Shadow: |
"Well for some it is. For us, the door's happy to open whichever way we want." | |||||
Sowpig: |
"You, we don't want. You're no fun, Champions." | |||||
Lornling: |
"Better, yes, you forget Prismeer and Zybilna, and your little friends too." | |||||
Celeste: |
"Not a chance! Now step aside!" | |||||
50 | Defeat the Thieves of the Coven | The thieves want to prevent you from traveling to Prismeer! You'll have to defeat them first. | ||||
Mr. Light: |
"Quickly! Now's your chance!" | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"Everything you seek and more lies beyond this mirror. If you mean to step through, then stand in front of the glass and repeat this rhyme: 'Hither, thither, here and there; wander, yonder, show me where.' Then step through." | |||||
Bruenor: |
"All right! Form a line, Champions! Let's do this orderly! For Squiddly and Jenks!" | |||||
Mr. Witch: |
"Mind the rule of three: future, present, past." | |||||
Mr. Light: |
"Find the alicorn and free the dormant queen at last." | |||||
Ellywick: |
"Interesting...sounds like there's more to this quest than saving some orphans. Legendary, indeed." | |||||
