Icon Vecna Out! Vecna Out!
It's just you and Vecna - and a citadel worth of baddies!
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
Now that Vecna has his hand and his eye back, he has everything he needs to complete the rituals he's been planning -- he'll be far more powerful, but that also makes the Hand and the Eye more vulnerable. If Kas can strike him down, they'll both be destroyed for good.
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
What do you mean 'if'? I have a score to settle with that lich, and I mean to do it. I'll kill him again and destroy the Hand and Eye of Vecna for good.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Well we'd better do it fast. He's got to be close to getting that barrier in place, sealing out all the gods and other planes, and if he gets that up, we have to count out the possibility of reinforcements from Mount Celestia and the Nine Hells --
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
And there's the barrier. I don't think we're getting off this flying fortress either. That looks double-thick.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
If this fortress is still flying... the mythallar must be operating. A Netherese floating city would collapse without one. He must be using it to power the spell. Do you still have that scroll of disintegrate that Elminster gave you? Or did you waste it on the tarrasque?
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
I didn't have time to go digging out scrolls when Vecna threw that thing at us! Let me find it. Keep those monsters back.
1 Defeat 25 Enemies Vecna's got the hand and the barrier's up! You need to stop him, but first you'll have to get past these gargoyles and crawling claws!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Here we are.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Great! So we just find the mythallar and disintegrate it? Boy, that's easier than I expected!
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
Are you just going to bring the frog-girl along? She's pacted to Vecna!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
And? I want spells from him, I don't want to live under his undying rule.
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
He'll be aware of everything we do!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
I'm pretty sure he thinks a tarrasque ate us and he's busy doing that ritual to become a god. So he ought to be pretty impressed when I manage to thwart him! With you guys, I mean.
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
I... don't think you know Vecna very well at all. But the first part of your argument is sound, so let's go.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
The book's probably right -- Vecna's almost certainly using the fortress's mythallar to power his ritual. But something that size... And he's trying to pull in all that divine energy... There are going to be multiple spell anchors.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Hmmm... You make a good point. Those ought to be dealt with first. It will reduce the risk the mythallar just... violently explodes killing us all.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Gonna say that's top priority.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
The mythallar is going to be located down in the base of the fortress, but if Vecna's planned well... The spell anchors will be higher up.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Either way, we're heading inside. Past those crawling claws and mimics.
2 Defeat 25 Enemies More crawling claws and now mimics swarm you! Batter them back!
3 Collect 25 Symbols of Vecna Even the gargoyles serve Vecna! Snatch those symbols of their allegiance!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
If Vecna becomes the god of everything... does that mean everything becomes undead or does that mean Vecna has to take care of things like crops growing and storms and things?
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
I... can't even imagine that. Vecna, god of magic? Sure. Vecna, god of love and beauty? Nope.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Huh. You don't think so?
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
Ew, Blooshi. Ew.
4 Defeat 25 Enemies The minions of Vecna fill the landing balcony! Stand firm or be knocked to the ground!
5 Defeat the Veserab The eerie mount of a Netherese prince, a veserab dives at you with its toothy maw agape! Fight back!
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
That won't likely be the last remnant of old Netheril in the fortress. Be careful.
6 Defeat 25 Enemies Signs of the previous owner persist, but the skeletons are all Vecna! Fight the mimics and skeletons!
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
Xerophon, is this like the fortress you were imprisoned in?
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
Similar, but much smaller.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
I suspect this is part of the fortress of an arcanist called Veridon. I can't quite recall the name... he had created a spell of freezing that he used to preserve great harvests of fish his spells pulled from the water.
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
All this magic and he used it to store food?
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
It sounds like a wise use of power to me. Wiser than making nothics!
7 Defeat 25 Enemies Nothics come hunting what the skeletons are fighting! Don't back down!
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
To be fair, one seldom MAKES nothics. They're... a side effect of the search for knowledge.
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
That isn't much better.
Icon Reya
Reya:
So many mimics! Gah!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
They're so sticky!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
That glue's a useful adhesive! We don't know what we're in for -- maybe we'll need it too. Take these vials.
8 Collect 25 Vials of Mimic Glue Those mimics are sticky! Collect up some of their glue in case you need to be sticky too!
9 Defeat 25 Enemies These hallways teem with foes! Hold your ground!
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
Do you ever feel like it takes way longer to walk somewhere than really makes sense? It feels like this fortress can't possibly be this big. But we're still walking.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Not really. I usually just zone out and imagine my future as a powerful necromancer.
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
You just... fight while you're not paying attention?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
You're paying attention?
Icon Reya
Reya:
Both of you pay attention! Spitting mimic, dead ahead!
10 Defeat the Spitting Mimic A spitting mimic lunges out of the shadows toward you -- move quickly and dodge its attacks!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
There! That glowing thing on the other side of the room. That ought to be the first spell anchor.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Ugh, I can't hit it from here. Stupid giant Netherese rooms.
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
Looks mighty choppable! Get me over there! I'll take care of it! Just swing me through the zombies and we'll get there in no time!
11 Defeat 25 Enemies Vecna's zombies patrol the fortress along with the sad remains of the arcanist's apprentices -- don't let the nothics and the undead get you!
12 Defeat 25 Enemies You need to get to the spell anchor and disrupt Vecna's barrier! Fight through the skeletons and nothics!
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
This spell anchor is holding onto the barrier that Vecna's put up between this plane and the others. Time to take it out!
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
Weirdly convenient that it's here in the fortress.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Maybe he WANTS to be stopped. Maybe this is a test for certain warlocks. Did you think about that?
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
...Or it's a trap? [gasp] Did I just out think Vecna?
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
It's a standard spell anchor, stop overthinking it. He's probably got four or five others across the plane, but these are the ones tying it to the mythallar. Break it down so we can get to the main power source.
13 Defeat 1 Spell Anchor That spell anchor is helping to power Vecna's ritual! Destroy it!
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
Yesss! Hahaha! Take that, Vecna!
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
We're not nearly finished. How many of these do we have to destroy before I can face Vecna?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
If he's done it properly, there should be three triangulating on the mythallar. But we need to hurry -- he'll notice the power shifts if we dawdle.
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
Excellent! More minion slaying! Appetizers for the main course! Hahahaha!
14 Defeat 25 Enemies Hurry! There are two more anchors and Vecna might notice at any moment! Carve a path through the minions!
15 Defeat the Mummy A mummy blocks your path to victory -- form up, Champions!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Watching gods, I hate doing spell geometry. But another spell anchor ought to be in here somewhere. Much farther west and it would set up some pretty unpleasant vibrations.
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
Spread out -- look for another glowing plinth.
Icon Reya
Reya:
But not too far! There are still scores of undead and magical enemies to deal with!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Awww, look! The crawling claws and Bigby's grasping hands are playing together! That's so cute!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
It's going to be less cute when they go for your throat!
16 Defeat 25 Enemies Deeper into the fortress, you press on toward the next spell anchor -- but grasping hands, magical and undead, reach for you!
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
There it is! Behind that... swarm of nothics. Oh great.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Is it called swarm of nothics? I would have thought it had a fancy name.
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
A fancy name?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Yeah, like you have a murder of crows, an army of frogs, a parliament of owls. Maybe a winking of nothics! Or a zeal of nothics. Or a clawing of nothics!
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
That last one sounds about right!
17 Defeat 25 Enemies More of the foul remnants of magic gone awry! Fight those living Bigby's hands and nothics!
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Here's our second spell anchor. You know what to do.
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
The only thing I know how to do! Let's destroy it!
18 Defeat 1 Spell Anchor The next spell anchor glows with wicked power! Smash it to bits!
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Does it ever bother you to consider you've been cut off from the more complex thoughts of your original mind? That Vecna prevented you from being able to contemplate anything more than destruction?
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
...I'm a sword. I don't see how contemplating anything else would bring me joy OR purpose.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
I suppose that's fair...
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
It's a very 'book' question, I have to say.
19 Defeat 25 Enemies More enemies swarm you, preventing you from escaping! Carve a path!
20 Defeat the Living Blade of Disaster A living blade of disaster, a terrible spell given sentience by a foolhardy wizard, cuts toward you! Defend yourselves!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Two down, one to go... then the mythallar. I have to say, book, your help has been invaluable. Eventually.
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
I... appreciate that. Having eventually made peace with my circumstances, it's easier to see how I can improve them. Although it's not so hard to want to improve things when the other option is being ruled over by a megalomaniacal lich who couldn't even ASK for my help without being smug about it.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
You do what you can. Want us to put in a good word for you with the Blackstaff?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
No, no. Vajra and I have an understanding. I don't know what either of us would do if the other didn't annoy the... well, let's say 'dust' out of them.
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
Man, the hallways in this place are like a labyrinth. I hope this is the right room.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
There's the spell anchor! Hey, we're getting good at this!
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
Now we just slaughter our way through these enemies to the plinth! This is the best day I've had in eons!
21 Defeat 25 Enemies The third spell anchor pulses with power -- you must destroy it, before these enemies destroy you!
22 Defeat 25 Enemies Dark shadows and twisted nothics race toward you! Hold your ground!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Once this goes down, we're going to need to hurry to the mythallar. I've got the scroll of disintegrate on top of the bag. Be ready to run. Book, do you think you can lead us to the mythallar?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Assuming Vecna hasn't redecorated foolishly? Of course.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Then let's take out that spell anchor.
23 Defeat 1 Spell Anchor Vecna's ritual is coming apart -- but not fast enough! Destroy the spell anchor!
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
All right everyone, get moving!
24 Defeat 25 Enemies Minions of the fortress attack from all sides! Weapons up! Spells ready!
25 Defeat the Galvan Magen A galvan magen, servant of the unseen wizard, arrives to punish your trespass! Fight back!
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
It ought to be down this way... Ah! There it is. The pinnacle of Netherese magic, the source of the arcanists' strength -- the mythallar.
Icon Reya
Reya:
And an entire room full of zombies.
26 Defeat 25 Enemies The only thing left is to destroy the mythallar! Fight your way through the zombies!
27 Defeat 25 Enemies The former wizards' magical minions don't appreciate your meddling! Clear the path to the mythallar!
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
Ulkoria! Cast the disintegrate scroll!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
I'm a little busy right now! Get back you -- oof!
Icon Reya
Reya:
The scrolls! They're everywhere!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Quick! Pick them up! We need that disintegrate scroll!
28 Collect 25 Scrolls Your scrolls have fallen everywhere! Gather them up so you can destroy the mythallar!
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
Where's the scroll?
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
I've got teleport, delayed blast fireball, magic circle... no disintegrate.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Here's that Tenser's transformation. We could... uh... make the mythallar very good at fighting?
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
Keep looking.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
It's no use. One of them must have made off with the scroll. We're going to need a new plan.
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
Here's a plan: Chop the mythallar in half!
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
You so much as touch that thing and you're going to be blown to pieces. Either you destroy it all in one go or you don't.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
...I'm guessing the Tenser's transformation plan is out... Is the fireball strong enough?
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
...Oh. Could we teleport it? Send it off somewhere else?
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Hmmm... Not a bad idea. And if I time it right... maybe we can use it to punch through the barrier as it drops. I just need some space.
29 Defeat 25 Enemies Change of plans -- you need to teleport that thing away, but you don't want the spell disrupted by these minions! Clear the room!
30 Defeat the Hypnos Magen A powerful hypnos magen interrupts your plans! Defeat it and get moving!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
All right, here we go, everyone! Start heading into the other room unless you want to visit the plane of endless water! One, two, three...
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
Is everyone all right?
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
Oof, what happened?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
When the mythallar was teleported away, the fortress's ability to fly went with it. We're likely in the Sea of Swords and sinking now.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Well good thing I can swim. I don't know about the rest of you though.
Icon Reya
Reya:
We need to get out of here and find Vecna! Come on!
31 Defeat 25 Enemies The fortress has collapsed into the sea -- now you need to get out! Fight your way through the mimics and skeletons!
32 Defeat 25 Enemies Skeletons and flesh golems don't need to breath! They attack even as the waters rise!
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
The water's coming up fast. We need to get higher!
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
Here. This wall broke in the fall. We can take the stones and build a ramp up out of the water.
33 Collect 25 Stones Gather up those stones and make a path up out of the water!
34 Defeat 25 Enemies The minions of Vecna grow frenzied! And the fortress is still sinking! Fight back!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Come on, I think we can get out this way -- EEP! What is THAT thing!?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Ah, a thaalud. Unparalleled phaerimm hunters. I didn't know Veridon had created any!
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
That was a lot of words I don't know! That's not helpful!
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
...Aim at the mouth.
35 Defeat the Tomb Tapper A thaalud of ancient Netheril breaks free of its prison -- coming for you! Defeat the tomb tapper!
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
Where is Vecna? Vecna! Come out and face me! Vecna!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Probably out of this water! Keep moving!
36 Defeat 25 Enemies Climbing higher, the sea water laps your heels, while more undead attack from the front!
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
I'm getting that feeling again... like everything is taking way longer than it should.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Hm? I wasn't listening. I was pretending these specters and zombies were my undead army.
37 Defeat 25 Enemies Specters and zombies seek to push you back into the depths of the sea! Hold your ground!
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
The tapestries are floating away -- grab them, we can fashion ropes from them.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Fancy ropes, but I'd rather get out of here than worry about it.
38 Collect 25 Tapestries These tapestries could be fashioned into a rope to help you escape! Catch what you can!
39 Defeat 25 Enemies The foul creations of Vecna pummel you further! Fight back!
40 Defeat the Bone Naga A bone naga rattles up from the sinking stones, ready to take a bite out of you! Knock it down!
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
This way! We can get outside through here!
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
We're outside! And... we're sinking.
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
Vecna!
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
You people are a scourge.
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
You are the scourge. This is where you die.
41 Defeat 25 Enemies Balanced on the sinking fortress, you face Vecna at last -- but first, he sends waves of flameskulls and specters!
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
Kas, I don't know where you've been all these years, but you seem to have spent them entrenching yourself in delusions of grandeur.
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
Me? I'm not the one trying to become the one and only god of this plane!
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
'You're going to end me' 'This is where I die.' I've heard it all before and where are we now? Here again, and me at my full power. You are nothing more than a bump in the road to my ultimate form, Kas. Even if you somehow strike me down, I will just be back, more powerful and more angry than before.
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
Not if I destroy your artifacts of power there!
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
You and what army?
42 Defeat 25 Enemies You could really use those reinforcements! Cut down those flameskulls and skeleton archers!
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
How long do you think this posturing is going to take?
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
Hopefully not long. We're sinking fast.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Yeah, good thing we can all breathe water!
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
...
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
....
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Wait... You guys can't breathe water? If we sink, you'll drown! This is a HUGE problem! Why didn't you say anything before? Ulkoria, Ulkoria, is there some way to make them breathe water? DID YOU KNOW THEY CAN'T BREATHE WATER?
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
[sighs] Get me some straw and we can cast a spell of water breathing.
43 Collect 25 Pieces of Straw If the fortress sinks any lower you'll need to cast a spell of water-breathing! Gather some pieces of straw as components!
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
It's almost tragic that you've gone through all this trouble and all you've gained yourselves is a chance to drown.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Um, some of us can breathe water!
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
And you -- did you actually think you could stand against me and not lose all of your powers?
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Well... I mean I only know Kas's situation and he became a vampire darklord, so it doesn't seem like all my options would be bad! And I'm not going to turn on my friends. You're going down -- and I hope that you are super proud of my resourcefulness when you do.
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
I return to my previous question, Champions: You and what... What? Where did those celestials come from? Why are there so many devils?
Icon Reya
Reya:
The barrier's down! The wizards must have made contact! Our reinforcements have arrived!
44 Defeat 25 Enemies The cavalry has arrived! Zariel and Bel have sent armies to your aid! Fight through these last of Vecna's minions!
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
Oh are we inviting other planes to join the party? Fine. Take that.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Um, what is that and why is it full of demons?
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
Oh that's a portal to Thanatos, the one-hundred and thirteenth layer of the Abyss. You're not the only one with friends in strange places. Orcus owes me a favor or three.
Icon Hitch
Hitch:
Undead goristro! Look out!
45 Defeat 1 Undead Goristro Oh no! Vecna's summoned his own assistance -- from Orcus! An undead goristro joins the flameskulls, ready to tear you to pieces!
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
I can't say this is enjoyable... But I appreciate that now you're getting your comeuppance. You sought to outflank me, and I DID warn you, right from the beginning that if you decided to be foolish, this would end it your deaths. Now here we are. Symmetry.
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
Kind of the opposite of your face! Ha... Oh wait, you... have your eye back. And your hand.
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
Indeed. A pity I did not invest you with more intelligence. Maybe you would have told him it was safer to stay rotting in that dread domain.
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
Kas! He has them both attuned! We have to get you up there!
46 Defeat 25 Enemies Now demons join the undead fray! But you've got to get Kas and his sword to Vecna! Carve a path!
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
Kas, Kas, Kas... What will you even do with yourself if you defeat me? Begin obsessing about the next time we meet?
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
I've given that up.
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
Have you? Seems to me you only broke free because you learned I was out here, succeeding. You're obsessed with me. You're only dooming yourself to a lifetime of wondering when I'll be back, what I'll be able to do. You could make this so much simpler on yourself by joining me again.
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
You think I would ever join you again?
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
Why wouldn't I? At my side is the only place you've ever been remotely successful. And your new allies aren't much to speak of.
47 Defeat 25 Enemies Vrocks and specters and shadows -- at least you aren't fighting that dracolich?
Icon Reya
Reya:
Zariel's forces and the devils are holding back the demons!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Vecna's raising every corpse that's not nailed down. But if we can keep them from summoning more demons... I don't like the looks of those component pouches the cultists are pulling out.
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
Quick! Stop them!
48 Collect 25 Component Pouches The ingredients to power a spell are precious and necessary! Get those component pouches!
49 Defeat 25 Enemies Vecna's army makes a fierce attempt to hold you off! Cut a path to the lich!
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
Kas, you need to do it now! You need to strike him down with the Sword!
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
...I know... but... what if I can't? It nearly killed me last time... And he's not wrong...
Icon Xerophon
Xerophon:
You're not alone this time, you have us. And you know more now! Defeating Vecna while he has the Hand and the Eye means those will be destroyed. Even if he returns, he won't ever be this strong again.
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
You're right. This ends here!
GrandTour Portrait Vecna
Vecna:
Face me then, coward! We both know how this ends.
50 Defeat the Fully-Formed Vecna Vecna waits, fully restored and unspeakably powerful, to send you to your doom! This ends now, one way or another! Defeat the Whispered One!
GrandTour Portrait Kas
Kas:
He's... He's gone. The torment of my eternity, the maker of my sorrows... He's gone. That... that was...
GrandTour Portrait SwordofKas
Sword of Kas:
EXTREMELY SATISFYING! Did you see me? I was AMAZING. 'Vecna Out' indeed! Hahahaha!
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
And if those very localized bursts of magic mean anything, the Hand and the Eye were destroyed. Now we just have to get off this sinking tower and clean up Candlekeep. You ready to go back on the shelf, Book?
GrandTour Portrait BookofTarchamus
Book of Tarchamus:
Perhaps. I must admit you Champions have given me much to think about. And you, too, Kas. Perhaps I can... compromise more with fellow travelers. Not take out my frustration and vastly superior intelligence on my companions. Perhaps we might travel together, now that the plane is safe again.
GrandTour Portrait SkullGuy
Skull Guy:
SAFE AGAIN FOR NOW.
Icon Blooshi
Blooshi:
Wait, what? I thought you were dead. I was sort of planning on going and convincing Bel I would make a really great warlock, since my pact was clearly not going to work anymore.
GrandTour Portrait SkullGuy
Skull Guy:
WERE YOU NOT LISTENING? DEATH IS ONLY AN ANNOYANCE TO ME. I'LL RETURN, YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT. KEEP YOUR PACT -- I DO LIKE THE INITIATIVE. IT MIGHT COME IN HANDY TO ME ONE DAY. VECNA OUT.
