Will of the Feywild
Face off against the next member of the League of Malevolence while you try to understand Skabatha's plans.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Nayeli:	We should be close to Will of the Feywild's hideout at Little Oak. I still don't like this plan. We're helping a hag we had sworn to defeat, and worse, we're helping her track down and capture a child!
Jarlaxle:	First of all, we're not helping her, we're trying to get information on saving Squiddly and Jenks. Helping her is irrelevant. But also we're really buying some time. Let's see what this Will of the Feywild has to offer.
Celeste:	We're going to have to defeat Skabatha in order to set Prismeer right. Possibly we'll have to defeat her to even get to Yon. Will seems like the best ally for that.
Jarlaxle:	But is he the best ally for saving Squiddly and Jenks?
Yorven:	He's a criminal, but who's to say he wasn't driven there by circumstance? The cruelty of Skabatha Nightshade, the viciousness of Thither. Who might Will of the Feywild be if Prismeer hadn't been torn apart, twisted by the foul hags of the Hourglass Coven, leaving him --
Jarlaxle:	Thank the gods for wild beasts! Your monologue's over. We're under attack.
1	Defeat 25 Enemies		Wild creatures surge from the underbrush, claws out! Drive them back!
Nat:	[signs] Minsc, do you think my crocodile will hatch soon? I would like to sic it on Skabatha Nightshade. I think that would solve a lot of problems.
Blooshi:	Or make a lot of problems. She's way mean. And creepy. I bet she'd turn your crocodile into poisonous candy.
Minsc:	That sounds terrible. And very unappetizing.
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	Well you do have a very refined palate, my friend. Hmm...the other crocodile eggs hatched when we were back in Downfall. But then, we did help them along with Gromma's magic...I'm sure the egg knows what it's doing.
Blooshi:	So, like, you agreed to stop the Hourglass Coven. You need to rescue Nat's friends. You're going to find some missing unicorn and also Zybilna.
Nat:	[signs] And the displacer beast's lost kitten! Star!
Celeste:	One thing at a time. Nat, watch where you're going!
Nat:	[signs] Stop babying me! I'm fine!
Bruenor:	Get down, lass! There's axe beaks comin' at us!
2	Defeat 25 Enemies		Thither's fiercest predators race toward you! Stop those axe beaks!
Catti-brie:	I'm low on arrows! Those axe beak feathers make perfect fletching! Can we grab some?
Nat:	[signs] I will!
Celeste:	You will not! Get back Nat!
3	Collect 25 Axe Beak Feathers		Axe beak feathers are perfect for fletching arrows. Gather some up!
4	Defeat 25 Enemies		The wilds of Thither teem with ferocious beasts! Don't get eaten!
5	Defeat the Axe Beak Alpha		The axe beak alpha prepares to charge! Dodge its sharp claws!
Nat:	[signs] I know losing Squiddly and Jenks made everyone freak out, but I'm not going to jump in front of an arrow. I just want to help.
Blooshi:	Adults are like that. They think they know everything.
Nat:	[signs] It's kind of funny that we're looking for another kid to tell them what to do.
Blooshi:	Ooh that is funny! You know what would be even funnier? If the kid was actually a horrible monster in disguise that ate them.
Nat:	[signs] Why is that funny?
Blooshi:	Hmm, maybe you're not old enough to get it. Or maybe I'm just too dark for you.
Blooshi:	What's going on with your egg?
Nat:	[signs] What do you mean? Wait whoa...when did it get all those glittery green flecks on it Minsc! Minsc! What's going on with my egg?
Minsc:	Hmmm. It appears that your egg has changed appearance. Possibly it purchased a new skin. Did you give it any gems?
Nat:	[signs] What? No! I didn't do anything different. I just looked at it and it was all...sparkly.
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	I don't think it has anything to do with those wild beasts, but the egg will have to wait until we fight them!
6	Defeat 25 Enemies		Once Prismeer was a land of peace and plenty. Now Thither's forests are filled with angry beasts! Defend yourselves!
Nat:	[signs] I think I have to show someone else my egg. Someone who knows about eggs and things changing in weird ways.
Blooshi:	Do you know like a sorcerer who does strange magics using eggs?
Nat:	[signs] No, do you?
Blooshi:	Not yet.
Nat:	[signs] I think I'm going to ask Gromma then.
7	Defeat 25 Enemies		Skabatha's boggles sneak between the animals, leaving an oily trail behind! Cut them down!
Nat:	[signs] Hey, hey, Gromma? This is a secret, but do you know what's wrong with my egg?
Gromma:	Oh my, when did you lay an egg?
Nat:	[signs] No, I found it and I'm raising it, so I can have a crocodile mount that I ride around Waterdeep Harbor and chase the mean Watch officers with. But look it looks kind of weird. Is that a thing crocodile eggs do? Get sparkly?
Gromma:	No, no it is not. But being in strange places can cause unspecified effects on living creatures. Look at Yorven! He left Prismeer and turned into...how does Jarlaxle put it? A murderbunny?
Nat:	[signs] Thank you, Gromma. I'll ask Yorven.
Minsc:	Look, there's a trail of something moving through here. The branches are broken as though something large has passed this way. Perhaps many somethings -- the ground is churned up.
Nayeli:	Is it Skabatha's minions?
Jarlaxle:	Is it Will's minions?
Minsc:	Hmmm...the mud does not say. Maybe the branches will tell us!
8	Collect 25 Bent Branches		Something big has passed this way -- gather up the branches it's broken and see what you can discern!
Minsc:	The branches are...inconclusive.
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	Yes, they are shady characters, branches. We will have to do this the old-fashioned way and hunt the evil-doers down!
Bruenor:	What's tha plan fer when we find Will? Do we lay it all out?
Nayeli:	Of course we do!
Jarlaxle:	Of course we DON'T! We don't know this kid's angle!
Nayeli:	The swiftest way to find out his 'angle' is to explain the situation and ask for what we need.
Jarlaxle:	And then if it turns out he's a worse villain than Skabatha?
Nayeli:	Then we fight him! Where have you been? That's how this works! Do you need a demonstration? Here, watch closely!
9	Defeat 25 Enemies		The beasts of Thither interrupt your discussions -- they don't care for your plans! Buy yourself some time!
10	Defeat the Large Scarred Bear		An enormous scarred bear shoulders aside the brush that lines the path and roars its fury! It's coming right for you!
Celeste:	We're almost to Little Oak, so here's how it's going to go: Jarlaxle, Will must already know Skabatha is hunting him -- there are wanted posters everywhere -- so there's no point being coy about it. We only tell him we want to defeat Skabatha and find the kids, and ask him what he wants, and we make a decision.
Nayeli:	Fine by me.
Jarlaxle:	Fine by me, let's just get this done.
Blooshi:	There's their hideout! That's a pretty big tree! And it can move!
Bruenor:	Well, that's a surprise! Little Oak is a treant!
Will:	Get back, you boggles! You redcaps! We'll mash you flat! Zennor! Hand me another mudball!
Celeste:	Oh no, Skabatha's minions have beaten us here!
Jarlaxle:	Don't you want to make him think we're on his side? Here's a very good chance!
Nayeli:	That's a peculiar way to say 'let's defeat those evil minions.'
11	Defeat 25 Enemies		Skabatha's minions swarm the clearing! Battle back those redcaps and boggles!
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		The boars of the prime material are plenty dangerous, but these are infected by Thither's ferocity! Dodge those tusks!
Nat:	[signs] Yorven! Yorven! Can I ask you something before we start talking to Will and those kids?
Yorven:	Of course, Nat, though much in life is mysterious, and I have sworn to protect the innocent from the darkness that threatens, so if your question --
Nat:	[signs] Wait, wait, wait. I just want to know how fast the Shadowfell made you different. Was it right away or did it take awhile? And did it hurt?
Yorven:	...You're not going to the Shadowfell. I can't allow it. No child should have to experience --
Nat:	[signs] Not me! I have this egg and it started changing. Gromma said that sometimes being in different places can affect things. Like how you got all shadowy and intense from the Shadowfell. See? It's glittering. What does it mean? Also please don't tell Celeste.
Yorven:	That is strange...and possibly dangerous. It does indeed look like your egg is taking on the magic of Thither. What that means for the creature growing inside...well, what part of Thither is it taking on?
Will:	Get out of our grove, you snotty little chaos gremlins!
Nat:	[signs] Snotty little chaos gremlins! I like that!
Celeste:	Nat!
Jarlaxle:	I genuinely don't know how to choose sides here...Hey look another wanted poster!
13	Collect 25 Wanted Posters		The redcaps carry wanted posters of Will! Gather them up and double check your sources!
Jarlaxle:	All right, I will give you this much. Not much on here is an actual crime. He just sounds like he's annoying the hag.
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		The boggles and redcaps have turned their attentions to you! Show them what you've got!
15	Defeat the Injured Alpha Boar		What's more deadly than a boar of Thither? This injured alpha boar is happy to demonstrate!
Will:	Hey you! Grown-ups!
Blooshi:	Um, rude.
Will:	I don't know who you are or why you're here, but I like how you fight!
Nayeli:	Thank you and likewise. We're here to discuss alliances!
Will:	That's presumptuous! I may look like a kid, but I wasn't born yesterday! Walk out of this grove and we won't come after you next!
Nayeli:	Excuse me?
Will:	How do I know you aren't working with the hag?
Jarlaxle:	He's got you there.
Nayeli:	Don't you even start.
Jarlaxle:	Hey kid, we could be working with the hag. But we're negotiable -- what have you got that's better?
Will:	Go kiss a goblin, you fancy-pants turncoat!
16	Defeat 25 Enemies		Goblins ambush you from the edge of the grove! Defend yourselves!
Bruenor:	Well that dinna go well.
Celeste:	We need to convince Will we're on the same side.
Jarlaxle:	Fighting off Skabatha's minions seems like a good start.
Nayeli:	I'll agree with you there!
17	Defeat 25 Enemies		How can you convince Will that you're on the right side? Fighting off these goblins and redcaps is a good start!
Goblin Guard:	Oi! Are you the ones the hag said would be meeting us here? You've got the helmet, but you're a bit short.
Bruenor:	I beg yer pardon!
Nayeli:	We're not working with the hag!
Jarlaxle:	Or are we? Maybe just go home and think about the price of loyalty, hmm?
Goblin Guard:	Archers! Attack!
18	Collect 25 Bows		Goblin archers rain arrows down on you! Steal their bows and stop the onslaught!
19	Defeat 25 Enemies		An army of minions surrounds you! Drive them back!
Bruenor:	What do ye suppose that goblin meant by me havin' tha right helmet?
Minsc:	Perhaps there is an enemy with horns still coming. We should be alert for them!
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	That is a horned enemy indeed! And it's charging! Brace yourselves!
Bruenor:	That's tha goblins' pack goat! Are ye sayin' I look like a goat?
Boo:	Squeak!
20	Defeat the Angry Goat		That goat is angry with the goblins -- but it doesn't like you either! Watch out!
Minsc:	If the goat is not the horned enemy, then who is?
Warduke:	What you are seeking is a HELMED enemy -- and I've arrived.
Warduke:	The hag sent me to finish off her enemy. Where is Will of the Feywild?
Will:	Higher than you can climb, Tin Can!
Warduke:	A child? Well it will be simple to break you then. Minions!
Jarlaxle:	All right look, I was open to the possibility that a kid could be an enemy, but I hope no one thinks I'm okay with THIS guy.
Nayeli:	...
Jarlaxle:	Don't look at me like that!
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		Waves of goblins and boggles sweep into the grove! You aren't the only one Skabatha's sent to capture Will!
Warduke:	Get out of the way, you meddling peasants! I will take the thief and there's nothing you can do to stop me. The hag has promised me the unicorn horn if I do!
Celeste:	Unicorn horn? From Elidon?
Warduke:	I neither know nor care about its provenance! I only know Kelek requires it and he and the League of Malevolence are the ones paying me -- and that you will not stop me in this! Zombies! Attack!
22	Defeat 25 Enemies		Goblin zombies accompany this strange fighter! Keep your guard up!
Celeste:	The League of Malevolence? That was who that assassin by the unicorn pool worked for!
Bruenor:	Aye, they seem desperate fer a unicorn horn! I wonder what they mean to use it for.
Warduke:	Fortunately, you won't need to worry about that soon! Zombies! Attack!
Will:	Now!
Warduke:	What the -- !
Warduke:	Let me OUT of this cage! Arrrrrgh!
Will:	Thanks for the distraction, Grown-Ups. We'll take it from here.
Nat:	[signs] That cage isn't going to hold! He's smashing it up and it's starting to burn!
Minsc:	We will deal with him! Champions! Attack the evil!
23	Defeat 1 Defeat Warduke before he escapes!		The kids' trap worked! But Warduke is trying to break free -- battle him through the cage's bars before he gets out!
Warduke:	Arrrrgh! You weakling fools! Now you'll face the wrath of Warduke! Goblins, deal with them while I regroup!
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		Warduke retreats behind these goblins to gain a little cover -- but he'll be back for more! Fight through the goblins!
Warduke:	All right, 'champions,' let's see how you deal with the League of Malevolence's greatest warrior. Don't expect pity from me!
Blooshi:	Back at you, helmet-head!
25	Defeat the Warduke		Warduke advances on you, ready to make you pay for this indignity! Show him why you're the Champions!
Warduke:	You haven't seen the last of me!
Will:	That is tomorrow's problem. Well, Champions, either that was an extremely elaborate attempt to convince me you're trustworthy, or I had you all wrong.
Jarlaxle:	Eh, six of one, half dozen of the other.
Nayeli:	We were glad to be of assistance, and we'd like your help with Skabatha too.
Will:	I think we can come to an agreement.
Will:	Let me introduce everyone. This is Bobi.
Bobi:	Hiya! Hiya! Hiya!
Will:	This is Sloane.
Sloane:	So glad to meet you. Not.
Will:	This is Zennor!
Zennor:	Well met, but Will, seriously, there's so many more boggles!
26	Defeat 25 Enemies		Will's got a plan! But to hear it you'll have to clear Little Oak's grove of goblins and boggles!
Will:	And this is our newest member and mascot. He doesn't talk. And he's kind of grouchy -- he might bite you.
Star:	Mew.
Nat:	[signs] Wait, he has a star on his forehead!
Celeste:	Are you Dirlagraun's kitten? Star?
Star:	Mew!
Nat:	[signs] We've been looking for you!
Will:	Well, Champions, if you're going to help, here's the plan: Skabatha has captured a bunch of kids to work in her factory in Loomlurch. We're going to break them out. Skabatha will be distracted, so if you want to take her down, that will be an ideal time.
Nayeli:	Wait, I thought children in peril were whisked away before they could be harmed. I thought that was a fundamental part of Prismeer that still worked?
Will:	That's why she takes a lot of care not to harm them. But they still can't leave, and they didn't ask to be there, so we're busting them out.
Jarlaxle:	Hold that thought, kid. We've got eavesdroppers.
27	Defeat 25 Enemies		Skabatha's minions would love to carry this plan back to their mistress! Don't let them!
Will:	So listen close: The kids are held in several locations. The kitchens, the textile mill, the sewing room, the workshop, and the dormitory. We're going to hit each of them with a distraction that will keep the hag busy and get the kids out of there.
Celeste:	Where are you going to take them?
Will:	They'll all fit in Little Oak, of course! We'll make our getaway in the Getaway Gang's headquarters! So, first step: The kitchens. We're going to load a pumpkin bomb in her stove. Give it a few minutes and it will blow! Rotten pumpkin everywhere!
Blooshi:	Hahahah! Oh wow, that's hilarious.
Will:	Um, it's a very strategic strike that will take up a lot of the hag's attention and buy us time. We've been growing pumpkins over there and they're finally good and squishy. Let's gather them up.
28	Collect 25 Rotten Pumpkins		Will's plan includes a bomb made of rotten pumpkins? Sounds like you need as many rotten pumpkins as you can collect!
Celeste:	This all seems rather chaotic and dangerous.
Will:	Exactly! Skabatha won't know what hit her!
Celeste:	No, I mean you're putting yourself and these other children into danger.
Nat:	[signs] She is ALWAYS like this. Celeste, Will is a wanted criminal. I think he knows how to plan a prison break.
Nilbog:	I agree! Sounds like chaos! Hahaha!
29	Defeat 25 Enemies		Those goblins don't like the sound of this messy plan! Stand your ground!
Nilbog:	Far be it from me to interrupt your plans! I do love a good injection of mischief into the humdrum ordinary.
Celeste:	A nilbog! They're goblins possessed by trickster spirits. Watch out!
Bruenor:	Is Skabatha workin' with 'em?
Nilbog:	At the moment? MAYBE? Hahahahaha!
30	Defeat the Nilbog		Nilbogs are possessed by a trickster spirit, sowing chaos among their enemies AND their allies! Be careful!
Will:	Come on! Let's get underway -- the longer we stay here the more likely it is that one of Skabatha's minions gets our plan back to her. Especially since there's a lot more plans to explain!
Celeste:	I have a bad feeling about this...
31	Defeat 25 Enemies		Hurry to Loomlurch to save the kidnapped children! These minions of Skabatha's can't stop you!
Nat:	[signs] Do you like living in Thither?
Sloane:	Does it look like I like living in Thither?
Nat:	[signs] Well, you have a cool tree-friend, no grown-ups babying you, and there was a lot of candy in that hideout. So maybe?
Sloane:	Maybe.
Nat:	[signs] If -- hypothetically -- someone were going to absorb some magical aspects of Thither, what would be the top three?
Sloane:	What?
Nat:	[signs] Hypothetically, would an egg that was absorbing...Thither-ness have something more like...pooping endless candy? Or more like endless viciousness? Like those wolves! Help!
32	Defeat 25 Enemies		Wolves of Thither are more aggressive and more ferocious than any ordinary animal! Don't let them hunt you down.
Will:	Getting out of Loomlurch, we'll need cover. That's where this comes in!
Bruenor:	Ya built a trebuchet?
Will:	Yes we did! A trebuchet for mudballs. What is easier to manufacture and yet gives you the most mess for your investment? What will both slow down and block sight better than mud?
Minsc:	Swords. They are more expensive but you get more impact overall.
Celeste:	We are not giving these kids swords!
Will:	So you'll help us make mudballs! Brilliant! We need at least twenty-five.
33	Collect 25 Mudballs		Mudballs for the trebuchet? Can do! Stomp those redcaps and goblins first!
34	Defeat 25 Enemies		The creatures of Thither hunt you relentlessly! Cut them down!
Redcap Leader:	Stop right there! You're not getting any nearer to Loomlurch! We've heard your nasty plan and --
Jarlaxle:	Then it sounds like you know we don't have time for this.
Redcap Leader:	Oh there's always time to die! Dye my cap with your blood! Hahaha!
35	Defeat the Redcap Leader		The leader of the redcaps reveals himself and makes his challenge! Don't let him take you down!
Will:	So the next part of our plan is right through here.
Jarlaxle:	Please don't tell me it's those awakened toadstools.
Awakened Toadstool:	Wah! Wah! Please don't tell me it's your BUTT! Phhbt!
Will:	Haha! No, those guys are hilarious. But very unreliable. And pretty evil! Better to fight them.
36	Defeat 25 Enemies		Back in the fairy rings of Thither, awakened toadstools and giant bees try to stop your progress!
Nat:	[signs] What are we looking for?
Zennor:	Beehives. We need honey for the next part of the plan. But you have to watch out -- there are a lot of wild animals in the forest.
Nat:	[signs] Would you say that's a hallmark of Thither? Like if something's from Thither, it's definitely wild?
Zennor:	No? That's a weird question. I mean, it's confusing too -- there's Thither, and there's Prismeer, and how do you say it's one thing but not the other? Stuff was here before, and some of it seems like it was always wild. Some of it seems like it changed. Some of it still isn't.
Minsc:	Children! Get away from the bushes! There are bears attacking!
37	Defeat 25 Enemies		Bears break through the underbrush, searching for honey too! But they're happy to settle for a snack of you!
Will:	The next step is my favorite. After we leave the kitchen, but before the pumpkin bomb has gone off, we hit the textile mill.
Nat:	[signs] Do you need help with that? I can chop the loom threads. Or maybe set it on fire!
Celeste:	Nat!
Will:	Better! We're going to dump honey on the works! Everything will be a sticky mess and the machinery will grind to a halt!
Celeste:	Well, it's better than a fire --
Will:	Glad to hear that! Try not to get stung while collecting the honey!
38	Collect 25 Pieces of Honeycomb		Honey should stick up the textile mill works very well! Don't let these giant bees stop you collecting it!
39	Defeat 25 Enemies		The bees are angry! The bears are angry! The awakened toadstools are just irritable!
Minsc:	Wait! There are tracks here. Someone has pulled an unladen cart through here.
Boo:	Squeak!
Celeste:	Is it Warduke again? Maybe more goblins?
Jarlaxle:	What's that....deep hooting sound? And that rattling?
Blooshi:	BEAR-OWL THING! BEAR-OWL THING!
Bruenor:	An owlbear-pulled chariot! And it's heading this way!
40	Defeat the Owlbear Chariot		Who left this owlbear chariot unattended? It's going for a joyride -- right through you!
Minsc:	Oh ho ho! These are much more interesting tracks than those owlbear chariot tracks!
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	Yes, they DO look like a dragon's! And yet also not a dragon's! Both at the same time!
Nayeli:	What is it then?
Minsc:	I have no idea. Something evil and Feywild-ish no doubt. But you can rest assured they were not made by those boggles or the snarling wolves. They are much too small.
41	Defeat 25 Enemies		There are strange tracks through here, but these swarms of enemies didn't make them! Weapons up!
42	Defeat 25 Enemies		Awakened toadstools are just rude! And their bite's pretty bad too! Squash them!
Will:	The last thing we need is the trickiest to get: Boggle oil. Perfect for destroying the fabric in the sewing room AND for making the floor too slippery for her tin soldiers to come after us.
Bruenor:	Think you oughta go over those threats before we get too much farther, lad. Tin soldiers?
Will:	They're the ones that guard the kids. I'm sure you'll be able to make short work of them. A lot more easily than the green dragon!
Minsc:	Actually, funny story, I am very good at defeating green dragons with surprising ease.
43	Collect 25 Vials of Boggle Oil		Boggle oil will make Skabatha's sewing room a slippery mess! Get as much as you can!
Celeste:	Did the green dragon Will's talking about make the tracks?
Boo:	Squeak!
Minsc:	Boo, you do not need to correct Celeste so rudely! She doesn't know the distance between a green dragon's toes is much smaller. That is specialized ranger knowledge. Please excuse my friend, Celeste. He doesn't mean it.
44	Defeat 25 Enemies		You're so close to Loomlurch! Don't back down from these enemies!
Nat:	[signs] So my friend Yorven over there, he's all shadowy and intense because he had to grow up in the Shadowfell. Do you think there's anything about growing up in Thither that maybe changed you?
Bobi:	I'm not grown up! I barely even have my beard!
Nat:	[signs] What about if a baby was here? And the baby was growing up here? And it started glittering all green what would that mean?
Bobi:	Uhhh...it jumped in a pile of slime candy cast-offs from Loomlurch? No, wait, babies can't jump. Hmmm...Well, the only baby I know is the displacer beast kitten. But you can't ask him.
Nat:	[signs] I can so! Watch me!
Nat:	[signs] Star, is there a way you like to talk?
Star:	Mew.
Nat:	[signs] Hmm. I can't read your lips, but I can tell you're making sounds. And you're using your eyes and your tentacle things to get my attention. You talk with those don't you?
Star:	Mew!
Nat:	[signs] Your mother could use her voice to talk to the others. Maybe you will too...Or maybe you need another way to talk to people because Will said you can't talk. I think that's stupid -- there's lots of ways to talk that aren't making mouth words. No wonder you're grouchy if that's how they are. Let's figure out a way to talk to each other.
Celeste:	Nat! Star! Move! There are wolves attacking!
45	Defeat the Alpha Wolf		The wolves of Thither are driven wild by the hag's magic! This one's ready to tear you limb from limb!
Will:	There it is ahead. Loomlurch. Granny Nightshade's factory of nightmares. And our final goal. Let's go over the plan once more --
Bruenor:	Nay, lad! First we're gonna have ta fight these spiders!
46	Defeat 25 Enemies		The forest grows dark as you approach Loomlurch at last! Giant spiders ambush you from the shadows!
Will:	Skabatha should be sleeping when we arrive. I'll sneak in the back to the kitchen to plant the pumpkin bomb and free the kids there. The Champions will come with me. Sloane, you get to the textile mill and free the kids. As soon as we get there with the honey, you make a break for Little Oak.
Sloane:	Well that sounds easy. What could go wrong?
Will:	Bobi, you get to the sewing room and get those kids together. We'll show up with the boggle oil and cover your escape to Little Oak!
Bobi:	I'm so excited! I can't stop bouncing!
Jarlaxle:	Small interruption. We're still fighting off spiders. And now boggles. And bears. So hold that explanation for just a moment.
47	Defeat 25 Enemies		You try to cement your plans for this heist, but more monsters creep from the dark forest!
Will:	If I may continue? So Zennor, you're going to hit the workshop. Get the trebuchet in place and then round up the kids. This will possibly be the trickiest step, because there's a good chance Skabatha will wake up by now and we'll need to use the mudball trebuchet to cover your escape.
Celeste:	Stop. If we're doing this, we're doing it right.
Will:	What does that mean?
Celeste:	It means...your mudball trebuchet has some weak points. The arm's going to have too much stress on it here, and the...is this tree sap?
Will:	Marshmallows.
Celeste:	It won't hold well under tension. Look, let's get some of that spider silk and brace up these supports. It'll be strong enough for chaos in no time.
48	Collect 25 Strands of Spider Silk		Those spiders have silk that would help secure the trebuchet! Gather it up!
Will:	All right, any questions?
Zennor:	Yes -- you forgot the dormitory. Star isn't ready for his part of the plan.
Star:	Mew!
Nat:	[signs] I could help him do it.
Celeste:	No, you're staying with us where you'll be safe. You -- What is that sound?
Will:	Screaming scarecrows! The alarms have been sounded! We don't have much time.
49	Defeat 25 Enemies		Oh no! These screaming scarecrows have sounded the alarm! Silence them!
Nat:	[signs] The kids will be scared if a bunch of adults show up! And those tin soldiers will stop you if you try to sneak in -- the kids have to all be ready to run. I can do this! I might be the only one who can do this!
Will:	She's right. She's the missing piece.
Celeste:	We already lost the two boys! We can't lose her!
Nat:	[signs] You won't! And this is exactly what Squiddly and Jenks would want me to do. Which I realize, now that I've said that, probably isn't a good argument. Let's go back to me not being obvious!
Minsc:	She is right, Celeste. Although I am ready to dress as a small child if it helps.
Nat:	[signs] Celeste don't! I see you thinking about it.
50	Defeat the Crazed Owlbear		One last threat from the forest: a crazed owlbear rushes out from the trees!
Will:	The screaming scarecrows will certainly lure someone here soon enough. Everyone get to your places!
Zennor:	Come on, Nat. We'll show you where you can sneak in.
Celeste:	Nat, wait. I haven't given you the freedom I think you've earned, but you need to really understand how dangerous this is. You are brave and resourceful and so smart, and you can't get hurt here, but I don't want to lose you. Promise me you'll be careful.
Nat:	[signs] More careful than Minsc dressed up as a little girl would be? No, I promise. I guess I understand. You're taking care of me so whatever happens, feels like it's your fault too. I sort of understand that feeling more now... so, Celeste ... Could you do something for me? Just in case?
Celeste:	Anything.
Nat:	[signs] Okay so I've been keeping this crocodile egg in my pocket since we got to Hither and Minsc is going to help me hatch it into an animal companion and it might be turning vicious, or candied or maybe growing a unicorn horn, but keep it warm and don't let it break, and if it hatches, I'M its mom, okay bye see you after the rescue!
