 Bruenor:
|
"It's the Feast of the Moon, a time for the living to pay respects to the dead. The Innkeeper back in Longsaddle told me of a crypt nearby where the local folk have buried a number of their most beloved heroes. I'm off ta pay my respects."
|
 Vlahnya:
|
"You ever get a sense of deja-vu, Bruenor?"
|
 Bruenor:
|
"Every day. What's it to ya, elf?"
|
 Vlahnya:
|
"I have an odd feeling that we've all been here before."
|
 Stoki:
|
"I know, right?"
|
 Krond:
|
"I'm feeling a bit angrier than I used to. Does that count?"
|
 Arkhan:
|
"It feels like someone is rebuilding me from the inside."
|
 Jarlaxle:
|
"OK. That's it. I'm definitely not going in this crypt. Wait. Wait up!"

Defeat the Bloodthirsty Rat
|
|
A rat jumps out at you, but so does a lich! Look out!
|
 Jarlaxle:
|
"OK. So. It's not just you. I never thought I'd see a rat and a lich team up."
|
 Binwin:
|
"You haven't seen anything. Wait till you see a pit trap and an acid trap team up. Poor, poor Aeofel..."
|
 Celeste:
|
"Did you hear that? We're not alone in here."
|
 Bruenor:
|
"Someone else payin' their respects? It is the Feast of the Moon after all."
|
 Jarlaxle:
|
"Yeah. That's definitely what it is."
|

|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
You hear strange moans from deeper in the crypt. Perhaps the cries of a grieving widow?
|
 Celeste:
|
"Look here, there's a tablet in the wall with details on all those buried here."
|
 Deekin:
|
"Deekin found his uncle!"
|
 Stoki:
|
"Oh! The Couragous Kobold of Cold Keep?"
|
 Deekin:
|
"No. The Kale Kobold King! Cooked in his own pot! Uncle always enjoyed dipping his toes in the stew. Mmmmm. Toe lint."
|
 Delina:

"Ew."

Larger than normal spiders appear, skittering out of the shadows.
|
 Celeste:
|
"This chamber holds the remains of the Brave Baker of Triboar."
|
 Bruenor:
|
"How'd a baker end up in a crypt of heroes?"
|
 Jarlaxle:

"Perhaps he made very, very, very good cakes."

|
Defeat the Brave Baker of Triboar
|
|
Without warning, the Baker emerges from his tomb and begins stumbling towards you. He's followed closely by another large zombie!
|
 Celeste:
|
"I don't get it. There's no note on the rubbings of a Red Fellowship Commander. Where did he come from?"
|
 Vlahnya:
|
"That's what I'm trying to tell you, Champions. I have a feeling the weave isn't right in this crypt. I'm sensing a connection to other areas of Toril and planes beyond."
|
 Jarlaxle:
|
"That sounds wonderful. Stuck in a crypt with all of you, and a host of unknown baddies."
|
 Bruenor:
|
"Don't ya love a good adventure, elf!"
|
 Celeste:
|
"This chamber is said to house an Orc hero, the Menace of Morgur's Mound."
|
 Calliope:
|
"That's quite a mouthful!"
|
 Deekin:
|
"New boss? Probably not. Orcs treat Deekin like play thing. Also, boss is dead."

|
We must be getting closer to the Menace of Morgur's Mound. Stay sharp!
|

Defeat the Skull-Face Spider
|
|
The tomb is empty! Where the Menace should be, a skull-faced spider and a will-o'-wisp have prepared an ambush instead!
|
 Bruenor:
|
"Where is that old Orc? We've got another rogue undead to track down."
|
 Celeste:
|
"Something is definitely not right here, Bruenor."
|
 Minsc:
|
"BOO! There are villains to slay!"
|
 Boo:
|
"Squee!"

|
"Right. We must pay our respects. RESPECT! NOW PAY!"
|

|
|
The Hero of the Vale rises from his grave once again. And this time, he has a new friend!
|
 Bruenor:
|
"I thought we already dealt with the Hero of the Vale."
|
 Celeste:
|
"They must have moved him here after Highharvestide."
|
 Farideh:
|
"Are your adventures always this... adventurous?"
|
 Jarlaxle:
|
"More than most. What I wouldn't give for a normal con."
|
 Nayeli:
|
"A what?"
|
 Jarlaxle:
|
"Job. A normal job."
|
| 21
|
Defeat 25 Enemies

|
The zombies have backed off and are replaced with Skeletons who clatter their bones together in a seemingly uncoordinated symphony of noise.
|
| 22
|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
You make your way to the next level of the crypt while dodging Skeleton clubs and arrows.
|
 Jarlaxle:
|
"Look at all the coin we have here!"
|
 Bruenor:
|
"Hands off, elf."
|
 Jarlaxle:
|
"They're dead Bruenor. What do they need it for?"
|

|
Defeat 25 Enemies

The chamber just ahead seems unnaturally darker than the others. Hurry forward to investigate.
|
 Jarlaxle:
|
"This darkness is unnatural. Be careful!"
|
| 27
|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
Your hunch was right. The end of this chamber is completely in shadow, even though your torches should illuminate the whole room.
|
| 28
|
Collect 25 Shadowy Gems
|
|
The light from your torches reflects off several dark gems on the floor. Collect them.
|
 Bruenor:
|
"What is that thing?"
|
 Celeste:
|
"It's a physical wall cloaked in darkness. It could crush us if we're not careful!"
|
 Nayeli:
|
"Let's just smash it and move on."
|
| 29
|
Destroy the Strange Wall
|
|
A seemingly physical wall of shadow appears in front of you. Bash it down.
|
| 30
|
Defeat the Shadow Ghoul
|
|
From behind the wall comes a ghoul almost completely consumed by the shadow, and it's flanked by an undead triceratops? How did the horrors of Chult reach the mainland?
|
 Vlahnya:
|
"It's been a while since I've been to Chult. I think that Triceratops is enough of a reminder for me to stay on the mainland."
|
| 31
|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
You're happy to be out of that room. The shadowy infection doesn't appear to extend beyond it.
|
| 32
|
Collect 25 Skeleton Bows
|
|
These skeletons are just picking up the bows of other skeletons you kill. Gather up some bows before they can recycle them.
|
 Celeste:
|
"There's another burial chamber ahead, Bruenor."
|
 Bruenor:
|
"Let's hope its dead aren't so restless."
|
| 33
|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
There's another burial chamber up ahead. Will its resident still be properly dead? There's only one way to find out.
|
| 34
|

|
This chamber is said to hold the remains of the Heroine of Longsaddle, a Harpell whose bravery and beauty both were famous throughout the land.
|
| 35
|
Defeat the Heroine of Longsaddle
|
|
The heroine is here, and she has an undead girallon as a guest!
|
 Celeste:
|
"The tombs contain additional undead that were not listed on the tablets we found earlier. We have to put them all to rest."
|
| 36
|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
This hallway is lined with pockmarked crypts, each holding an intricate urn filled with ashes.
|
 Bruenor:
|
"Look at this mess!"
|
 Celeste:
|
"We've got to make it right."
|
| 37
|
Collect 25 Discarded Ashes
|
|
Someone has spilled the ashes from several crypts all over the place. Attempt to put it right.
|
| 38
|

|
| 39
|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
As you enter the chamber you are surprised to see a living human, a disheveled cultist by the look of it, standing over the hero's tomb holding a mysterious raven-black leather book.
|
 Bruenor:
|
"You there! Halt!"
|
 Cultist:
|
"Who's there? Stay back! Cyric will forsake me if I don't finish his work."
|
 Celeste:
|
"What are you doing here? Are you behind awakening the undead in this crypt?"
|
| 40
|
Defeat the Daring Dwarf of Dessarin
|
|
As the cultist runs off, a Zombie T-Rex bursts through the wall!
|
 Celeste:
|
"That cultist must be raising all of the heroes and making them go mad by raising more undead around them."
|
 Bruenor:
|
"If we hurry, we can catch up and ask her."
|
 Celeste:
|
"Be careful. There's something about that book she was carrying... It seemed familiar for some reason."
|
 Deekin:
|
"Anyone else want a dinosaur tooth? No? Just me?"
|
| 41
|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
With the dwarf dealt with, you hurry after the strange disheveled cultist and her mysterious book.
|
 Jarlaxle:
|
"Wait, something's not right!"
|
| 42
|
Collect 25 Impaled Armor Pieces
|
|
The floor opens up beneath you and you find yourself falling into a spiked pit! You narrowly avoid the razor sharp spikes, but not everyone has been so lucky in the past.
|
 Deekin:
|
"Deekin doesn't like pits. Reminds him of old Kobold saying: Don't fall in the pit. I'm not pulling you out again."
|
 Delina:
|
"That's an old Kobold saying?"
|
 Deekin:
|
"It must be. Deekin's mom used to say it all the time. Till Deekin fell in the pit."
|
| 43
|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
The walls of the pit are too smooth to climb here, but the pit continues forward for some distance.
|
| 44
|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
You see a way out of the pit just ahead. Someone has thrown a rope down from above.
|
 Strahd:
|
"Vlahnya. We meet again."
|
 Vlahnya:
|
"Strahd von Zarovich. How did you escape Barovia?"
|
 Strahd:
|
"That is for me to know, and you to agonize over."
|
 Vlahnya:
|
"I'll not let your evil infect Toril."
|
 Strahd:
|
"Then it seems we have reached an impasse. Look out for the Orc to your right."
|
| 45
|
Defeat the Impaled Menace of Morgur's Mound
|
|
Just as you're about to climb up out of the pit, a massive undead orc attacks. It's the Menace of Morgur's Mound who was missing from his tomb!
|
 Celeste:
|
"Well, at least we know what happened to the Menace of Morgur's Mound."
|
 Deekin:
|
"He should have listened to Deekin's mom."
|
 Vlahnya:
|
"Where did Strahd go?"
|
 Celeste:
|
"He and his nightmare disappeared into mist."
|
 Vlahnya:
|
"This is bad, Champions. Strahd cannot be let loose on this plane."
|
| 46
|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
Having escaped the pit, you keep a wary eye for more traps while you follow the cultist's footprints through the dust and grime.
|
| 47
|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
This room is much larger than the others you've explored.
|
| 48
|
Defeat 25 Enemies
|
|
You spot the cultist at the far end of the room. The book she was holding is open and she's reading from it feverishly.
|
 Cultist:
|
"I do Cyric's work! The dead must be roused!"
|
 Celeste:
|
"You must be mad. Cyric is the prince of lies. You shall never earn his favor."
|
 Cultist:
|
"Heretics! It's all here... in this book. Let me tell you about it!"
|
 Celeste:
|
"WAIT! I remember where I've seen that book before. Raven black leather... golden hinges... grinning skulls... It's... it's the Cyrinishad! Everyone, plug your ears!"
|
 Bruenor:
|
"What's going on Celeste? It's just a book."
|
 Celeste:
|
"That's no ordinary book! We've got to destroy it! Whatever you do, don't listen to that madwoman read from it!"
|
| 49
|
Collect 25 Candle Wax
|
|
Find some Candle Wax to plug your ears so you can't hear the cultist's dictation.
|
 Vlahnya:
|
"What is that?!"
|
 Bruenor:
|
"I cannae hear ye. CANDLE WAX!"
|
 Nayeli:
|
"Watch out for the lich!"
|
 Deekin:
|
"Dooooooooooooom! Doom. Doom. Doom. Doooooooooooooom!"
|
| 50
|
Defeat the Mad Cultist of Cyric
|
|
Seeing her plot foiled, the mad cultist rushes towards you, waving the book in front of her.
|
 Bruenor:
|
"Can ye tell me why we had to plug our ears now, Celeste?"
|
 Celeste:
|
"This book, the Cyrinishad, is a book of legends. Those who read from it can never stop, and fall under the sway of Cyric, the Prince of Lies."
|
 Bruenor:
|
"Moradin's beard! What do we do with it?"
|
 Celeste:
|
"It's too dangerous to be out in the wild. It must be taken to Candlekeep, where it can be safely stored."
|
 Vlahnya:
|
"I can't find any trace, magical or otherwise of the lich or Strahd. If Toril is under assault by Strahd & other undead denizens, it'll need all the help it can get."
|
