Icon Xanathaaaaaaar! Xanathaaaaaaar!
Investigate a trading post nestled in an asteroid while you try to secure a new spelljamming helm!
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Nordom
Nordom:
Status report: We are marooned on an asteroid with a broken ship.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
The Xanathar abandoned us with a bunch of space clowns.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Our entire planet is under attack by a selfish, elven empire.
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
You have misapprehended the situation! 'Attack' sounds so ugly -- we are merely trying to preserve our way of life.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We're going to put a pin in that. We need to find a way to get off this asteroid. Elaina knows the lay of the land. We should follow her and Flapjack to this market. If what we need is a new spelljamming helm.
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
It is. We're not going anywhere without a way to control the ship. The market is nearby fortunately. Unfortunately, it's on the other side of those space clowns and saboteurs.
1 Defeat 25 Enemies You're marooned on this asteroid, far above Toril. You're under attack by space clowns and the remainders of the Xanathar's minions. What's there to do but fight?
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
Why are the space clowns trying to kill us? I thought clowns were supposed to be funny and entertaining.
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
Clowns are...? What? What is wrong with your system? Space Clowns are terrifying!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
They come from the Clownspace system. They set up carnivals on unsuspecting worlds to lure travelers.
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
Ooooh-kay. Is that bad?
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
THEY LURE YOU TO THE CARNIVAL IN ORDER TO FEAST ON YOUR FLESH!
2 Defeat 25 Enemies Are the mutineers working with the space clowns? At least their goal -- to defeat you! -- is the same!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
None of these blasty weapony things we took off the space clowns before does anything.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Maybe we should take more! One surely will work!
3 Collect 25 Ray Guns These ray guns could come in handy -- if only one of them worked! Keep looking!
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
While I won't fault your efforts to disarm the space clowns, you do know their ray guns only function in the hands of a space clown, right?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Lady, until a few songs ago, we didn't know space clowns existed. Why would we know about the arcane rules of their weapons?
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
It just seems like common knowledge is all. It's like you aren't even taking an interest in your surroundings. Maybe this is a blessing for you -- you will get to see how the world really works!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I have a feeling that it's the other way around.
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
I beg your pardon?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
You seem very out of your element, your radiant highness. I get the feeling you're about to learn firsthand how the world really works.
4 Defeat 25 Enemies This whole battle is a carnival sideshow! But with teeth! Fight the space clowns!
5 Defeat the Night Scavver Another night scavver comes searching for prey! Stop its hunt!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
That scavver scared off the last of the space clowns. Let's head for the market!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
My goodness! This was all under the surface of the asteroid.
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
Of course! The natural caves make for a much more stable structure AND keep most of the scavvers out.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
But not the psurlons!
6 Defeat 25 Enemies This asteroid is bustling! Surely someone here can sell us a new spelljamming helm! We just have to get past these psurlons!
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
What's that? What's THAT?
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
Look, just don't touch anything. There's a dohwar merchant down here I've done some deals with. I bet he has a spelljamming helm.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Devils! Look out!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
They're probably just shopping. Leave them alone.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Does shopping in Wildspace involve waving your weapons menacingly and advancing on your fellow shoppers? Because if not, I think we should fight instead!
7 Defeat 25 Enemies All manner of peoples shop the asteroid's bazaar -- who knew this was up here? Don't let those psurlons and spined devils push you out!
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
Wait a tick! Did they remodel? There wasn't a wall here before.
Icon Portrait XanatharCommander
Xanathar Guard:
You're trapped now, Champions!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Really? The Xanathar left you behind to hassle us? Did he say when he was coming back?
Icon Portrait XanatharCommander
Xanathar Guard:
Sometime after you're dealt with! You're not leaving this asteroid!
8 Defeat 1 Shadowy Wall A strange wall blocks your path! And the Xanathar's minions use it to pin you down! Clear the way!
9 Defeat 25 Enemies The Xanathar has already given orders to keep you from escaping the asteroid! Battle with the Xanathar Guild!
Xaryxis Portrait DohwarVendor
Marko:
Best deals on the asteroid! Mangonel stones! Tentacle upgrades! Come and get them!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
Marko! Hey! How's it going?
Xaryxis Portrait DohwarVendor
Marko:
Elaina Sartell, you old so-and-so. How's the old Moondancer?
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
Not great. Picked up some refugees off the planet and they mutinied. I need a new helm.
Xaryxis Portrait XanatharTroublemaker
Xanathar Troublemaker:
You're not buying anything!
10 Defeat the Xanathar Troublemaker This troublemaker doesn't want you to make the trade! Fight back so you can move on to the next vendor!
Xaryxis Portrait DohwarVendor
Marko:
Look, Elaina. I don't want any trouble. We get all sorts here, and if I have to pick sides, I lose business.
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
You're going to lose MY business if you side with that blasted beholder. Sell me the helm!
Xaryxis Portrait DohwarVendor
Marko:
Fine. Fifteen thousand.
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
...Are you insane? That's three times the price of creating one new!
Xaryxis Portrait DohwarVendor
Marko:
And you've got an angry crime lord. You want to create one new, get on it. Otherwise...well, you've got Torillians. You head down the market a bit, Feena's always looking to buy curios.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
When he says 'curios' --
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
Feena buys...'collectibles.' Stuff she can sell to travelers who think your planet is interesting. We should take inventory of what we've got.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yes. But just to be clear, curios is not going to include people of any sort.
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
You could probably get at least ten thousand for the modron.
Icon Nordom
Nordom:
Negative! I am not a fungible item. I am a person!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
All right, everyone, just check your bags for -- Hey! That sailor snatched my bag! Get back here!
11 Defeat 25 Enemies Hey! That sailor tried to rob you! Fight back and head for the vendor you seek!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
So what do we have to trade with the merchant? I suppose we shouldn't give up weapons and armor or spell components. What else did you all bring with you?
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
I have these neat shaped pieces of driftwood, these seashells, my rock necklace, and some string.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
I have about fifteen chapbooks. Well, I have eighteen, but I'm not done with the new Black Viper, this copy of the Giantess's Curse is special, and I just got this one: Rafe Slade and the Queen of High Imaskar. It's got time magic.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
I don't know how you can read those. They're so trashy.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Excuse me, Rafe Slade is a gentleman and a scholar. And a chronomancer and a master thief and they're not smutty, they're classy.
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
Uh, Havilar maybe stop waving that chapbook around! You seem to have gotten the attention of those space swine! Oh no they're charging!
12 Defeat 25 Enemies Space swine look like pigs, but my they're glamorous! And dangerous!
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
That pig could fly!
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
That's a space swine. The dohwar use them for guard animals. But they're a little touchy sometimes!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
And they clearly don't appreciate fine literature.
13 Defeat 1 Smashed Pile of Goods The brawling sailors have blocked the hallway with smashed goods! Clear away the rubble so you can get on your way!
Xaryxis Portrait OtherDohwarVendor
Feena:
Get your souvenirs of Toril! Waterdhavian dragon coins! Boots made of leather! Cart wheels galore!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
Are you Feena? Marko said you might be in the market to buy some fresh curios off the planet.
Xaryxis Portrait OtherDohwarVendor
Feena:
Always willing to take a look. What have you got? The modron looks interesting.
Icon Nordom
Nordom:
Not for sale! Not for sale!
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
I have this driftwood and these seashells. Fresh from the Sargauth, deep beneath Undermountain!
Xaryxis Portrait OtherDohwarVendor
Feena:
Ooh, a story helps sell things. I'll give you fifty for the lot. Hey! Hey you lot! Calm down! We're trying to do business here!
14 Defeat 25 Enemies This marketplace is buzzing with activity -- and fighters! Defend yourselves!
Xaryxis Portrait OtherDohwarVendor
Feena:
Anyway, fifty for the batch.
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
I'm looking for fifteen thousand.
Xaryxis Portrait OtherDohwarVendor
Feena:
Then you need to offer me something better to buy. You all attached to your weapons?
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
She offered ten thousand for the modron! Why not seize it?
Xaryxis Portrait OtherDohwarVendor
Feena:
You're traveling with a Xaryxian? Elaina, have you lost your mind.
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
It's a temporary thing we're working out still. Like what specifically that means. But we're not selling the modron, or anyone for that matter so let's see what else piques your interest.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
What about chapbooks? I have all these.
Xaryxis Portrait OtherDohwarVendor
Feena:
Now we're talking. Let's see...some Red Bess, a Secrets of the Obarskyrs. Ooh a volume one and a volume three! They didn't make a lot of those. These are actually in pretty good shape.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
I'm careful with my reading material. Despite what SOME people say.
Xaryxis Portrait OtherDohwarVendor
Feena:
A reader after my own heart. Look I can give you five thousand for these. I'd love to offer more, but I'll be honest, half of these are going into my personal collection. I've got a buyer who will want the Lonely Dragonborn Princess because that was discontinued.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Ugh, we still need nine-thousand nine hundred and fifty!
Xaryxis Portrait OtherDohwarVendor
Feena:
Now if you had the new Rafe Slade, hoo boy, I would pay ten thousand for that one. But we never get those -- they sell through immediately and the secondary market is very stiff. I -- Hey! Back off, dhergoloth! I don't have your order in yet!
15 Defeat the Dhergoloth The dhergoloth spins beneath its fearsome head, snapping its claws at you!
Xaryxis Portrait OtherDohwarVendor
Feena:
That blasted yugoloth. What a mess.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
[sigh] I can make your day better and ours too. Here.
Xaryxis Portrait OtherDohwarVendor
Feena:
Is that...no! That's a mint condition Rafe Slade! The new one!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Where he time travels back to High Imaskar. Yeah. It's supposed to be great. Will you give us ten thousand for that so we can buy a spelljamming helm?
Xaryxis Portrait OtherDohwarVendor
Feena:
SOLD! I'll even throw in these enamel pins of famous Torillians! You HAVE made my day!
16 Defeat 25 Enemies Space swine were bred by the dohwar to serve many needs -- headbutting you is only one of their skills!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Havi, that was very generous.
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
What else was I going to do? Make you rot on this asteroid?
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
No. I...I shouldn't have called it trashy. Those chapbooks make you happy. And obviously you're not the only one who loves them!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Yeah, that Feena has good taste. Too bad it's a limited print run.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Then it's a good thing I know amanuensis. We'll find a copy and I'll make you one...and then we can send the author some money, because I don't feel good about stealing their work.
17 Defeat 25 Enemies The Xanathar's sabotage extends throughout the market! Fight against those minions!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Curses! The Xanathar's agents have set up a barricade! We need to get back this way to buy the spelljamming helm.
Icon Portrait XanatharCommander
Xanathar Guard:
We've got you pinned down, Champions!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Or is it WE who have YOU pinned down?
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
AAHHHHH DIE, EVIL!
18 Defeat 1 Smashed Pile of Goods More smashed goods block your way through the market! Clear the way before the arrows stop you for good!
19 Defeat 25 Enemies You're so close to your goal -- so the Xanathar's saboteurs redouble their efforts!
Xaryxis Portrait DohwarVendor
Marko:
Huh. You're back. Did you actually have enough stuff for Feena to make up the difference?
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
Fifteen thousand, you utter thief.
Xaryxis Portrait DohwarVendor
Marko:
Don't blame the vendor, blame the market. Here you go, Flapjack. Don't get too speedy with it.
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
Looks like a solid helm. This should work perfectly if we can get it back to the Moondancer.
Xaryxis Portrait DohwarVendor
Marko:
Of course it will work perfectly! What do you take me for? Listen, have a nice journey, and don't let the devourer consume you on the way out.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
...The what?
20 Defeat the Devourer All manner of beings reside in wildspace...but you were sort of hoping the devourer wasn't one. Do your best!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
We get back to the ship and get the helm installed, and we can be at the Rock of Bral in just a few days.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
This might be a good chance for Xedalli to explain exactly what's going on with 'Xaryxis.'
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
Of course. Xaryxis is our star. It requires fuel, lest it fail. So periodically the emperor chooses a system to consume the energy of. I'm...sorry, that it was your system this time. It wasn't personal.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
If you're sorry, you'd help us reverse it.
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
I...Well, to be honest, I'm not sure if I can. My father is dying. The throne was meant to pass to me but also to my twin brother, Prince Xeleth...he does not wish to co-rule. I was kidnapped and dropped on your planet to be...consumed with the rest of you.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
This is incredibly illuminating but I need to point out those space clowns are back!
21 Defeat 25 Enemies Those space clowns are back, with their pet gazers! This isn't funny anymore!
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
It's possible the process can be halted or even reversed. We've never had to try -- indeed it's been more important that we continue so the Light of Xaryxis never goes out. But I cannot do anything of the sort without reclaiming my throne. And I...may have lost my royal ring in the struggle with my captors.
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
I saw that fight! You were so brave, your radiant highness.
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
...Thank you. That is very kind of you to say.
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
It's not a ring, but I saved this fancy-looking rock from where you ran off!
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
Oh my stars! That's it! That's the enclosure I hid the ring in! You clever, clever child!
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
With this ring, I can reassert my claim on the throne. Squiddly, you have done a great service to me and to the Xaryxian Empire. I cannot repay you properly but...here.
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
...You're giving me my rock necklace back?
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
Remember, it is a secret enclosure. And now it is a medal of bravery!
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
Oh nice! Nat and Jenks are going to be so jealous!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Assuming they have a planet to survive on.
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
Perhaps instead of judging me, you should focus on those space clowns.
22 Defeat 25 Enemies A space clown walks into a bar...and eats everyone's faces off. Don't let it happen to you!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
These space swine seem as though they would make excellent animal companions.
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
I meant for YOU. I am set. But I think that these pointy helmets are not helping matters. We should remove them and see if that makes their attacks less vicious.
23 Collect 25 Swine Armor Pieces Space swine wouldn't be so dangerous without their spiked helmets! Get rid of them!
24 Defeat 25 Enemies The circus of death needs to end quickly! Fight those space clowns and gazers!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Who is THAT guy?
Descent Portrait Arcanaloth
Arcanaloth:
Is this your ship? I'm in the market for a crew to take care of some--
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
You sound evil, are you evil?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Fiendish, I'd say.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Then I think we know what to do now! Squiddly! Be my battle cry!
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
Ooh, ooh, okay: AHHHH DIE EVIL!
25 Defeat the Arcanaloth This slippery arcanaloth wants to make a deal -- but you'll lose out, one way or another! Fight back!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
Well that's one way to deal with a problem.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
In my experience it is the one, best way to deal with many problems.
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
Let's get the helm down to the bridge and get off this rock.
Icon Portrait WizardPrisoner
Elf Refugee:
We should have listened to The Xanathar... Look at how poorly this ship is run!
Midwinter Portraits GraveRobber
Half-Elf Refugee:
Listened to The Xanathar? Do you hear yourself?
Icon Portrait WizardPrisoner
Elf Refugee:
I almost got eaten by a SPACE CLOWN!
Midwinter Portraits GraveRobber
Half-Elf Refugee:
All right, that's fair, but also I don't think it's the ship's fault exactly.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
We're back, people. Move aside so we can get this helm in place.
Icon Portrait WizardPrisoner
Elf Refugee:
AHHHH! LOOK BEHIND YOU! SPACE CLOWNS!
26 Defeat 25 Enemies More stowaways! Those space clowns aren't looking for rescue, just victims! Drive them off!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
How many people are trying to get off this asteroid? Get off my ship!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
What are those buggy devil things?
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
Oh those are mezzoloths.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
They don't look friendly.
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
Not at all!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Well. I have some experience blasting fiends.
27 Defeat 25 Enemies The grunts of the yugoloth army, these mezzoloths are happy to fling themselves against you! They won't even get in the Xanathar's sailors' way!
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
You're a pretty good mage!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Um, thank you.
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
Look, this might seem sort of abrupt. I know we don't really know each other THAT well, but I think I'm a pretty good judge of character. All flumphs are, really. We don't have a backup mage to run the ship. I've been telling Elaina for AGES we need to train someone. But well, nobody's been available. So: Do you want to?
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Do I want to...learn to fly the ship? Flapjack, I'm...terrified of flying. This has all been a lot to deal with. It's only a little better because there's no air.
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
It's the being out of control, isn't it? You're scared you won't be able to stop yourself. But...that's the thing. If you're using the helm, you're in complete control. Nobody's flying YOU. You're flying the ship! Just think it over.
28 Collect 25 Tridents Those mezzoloths can't fight back without their tridents! Snatch those weapons!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
Set it down there, and I'll start hooking things up.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Flapjack, if I wanted to...to learn how to use it -- just to make sure we're safe and there's a backup mind! How...how long would it take?
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
You would need to attune to it. That takes about an hour. You sit in the helm and let it connect with you -- feel out the ship, test the systems, just get to know the Moondancer.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Does...Does it hurt?
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
Sort of prickles? It's not too bad though and you get used to it.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
All right, but...Could you be the only one here? I don't want an audience. Especially not these mezzoloths!
29 Defeat 25 Enemies You can't learn to spelljam with an audience like this one! Defeat those enemies!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
There we go! Take her up!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Okay...Okay. It's not too bad. It's -- okay that is definitely UP.
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
You're doing great!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Who is making the ship hop around? Farideh! What are you doing?
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Maybe this was a bad idea!
Xaryxis Portrait Flapjack
Flapjack:
No, no, this is just what it's like starting out! It's a little choppy -- you're just learning the ship! But the -- what in the melting heart of Doomspace? A chain devil!
30 Defeat the Chain Devil Even the Nine Hells can reach Wildspace! The chain devil attacks with clanking lashes!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Maybe I shouldn't be doing this. Maybe that was a message from Asmodeus!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
If Asmodeus doesn't want you to fly a spelljammer then I think that means you should absolutely do it!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
What was that?
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
Flapjack! Take the helm! I think we hit something. All of you come with me!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Ugh! More rats! The explosion must have shaken them loose!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
All ships have rats! Even in Wildspace! Just clear them out!
31 Defeat 25 Enemies What was that boom? All the rats pouring from the ship walls make it hard to get your bearings! Fight those vermin!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Is THAT what we hit?
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
Oh no. A space moth. We're under attack!
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
A Xaryxian war ship! Oh dear oh dear.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
And you STILL have a rat problem!
32 Defeat 25 Enemies Get to the deck! You're under attack! Sweep those rats away!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
All right first things first: get the rats out of the way. If we're going to deal with attackers, we don't need to be trying to maneuver around a swarm of rats at the same time.
Icon Nordom
Nordom:
There are nets! That would capture a higher number of rats than taking individuals out.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Great idea! Grab the nets!
33 Collect 25 Nets It would be a lot easier to defend the ship if the rat problem was dealt with! Grab some nets and trap those rats!
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
Blast! They're boarding us!
Xaryxis Portrait AstralElfCommander
Astral Elf Commander:
Attention Vessel Moondancer! This is the vessel Dark Star. We believe you have taken contraband off the planet Toril. Prepare your ship to be boarded and searched.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh we're prepared all right!
34 Defeat 25 Enemies Astral elves are boarding the Moondancer! And the burning rats don't seem to bother them! Defend the ship!
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
Jarlaxle! Jarlaxle! Jarlaxle! I may have done something.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
What sort of something?
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
The space elves were attacking and the rats were everywhere and I thought I would make a distraction but I think I just made it angry! And now it's coming up here!
35 Defeat the Giant Burning Rat A giant flaming rat crawls out of the hold! Battle that monster so you can focus on the invaders!
Xaryxis Portrait AstralElfCommander
Astral Elf Commander:
Attention Moondancer! Cease your efforts and be boarded peacefully or we shall be forced to destroy you as a precautionary measure!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I'm feeling like the solution is to board THEIR ship and get those cannons pointed elsewhere.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Then let's get to fighting!
36 Defeat 25 Enemies The astral elves press a full assault against the Moondancer! Don't give up the ship!
37 Defeat 25 Enemies These strange elves are fearsome fighters. But YOU'RE the Champions! Show them what you've got!
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
They ALL have magical rings. Is that a space elf thing?
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
That is a favored jewelry in Xaryxispace, yes?
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
If these are your people, can't you tell them to back off?
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
I'm afraid these are my brother's people. So they're more likely to kill me than to listen to me.
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
Well then they don't DESERVE magic rings!
38 Collect 25 Magical Rings Magical rings wink from the fingers of most of these elves! They don't need that advantage -- collect those rings!
39 Defeat 25 Enemies Their moth-like ship looming over the Moondancer, the astral elves increase their efforts!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Xedalli get behind this pile of crates.
Xaryxis Portrait AstralElfAssassin
Astral Elf Assassin:
Where is the Princess Xedalli? We know you have taken her!
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
Please don't turn me over, I beg of you.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
She...She's back on the asteroid. She was really rude to us, ordering us around, and we left her. You'll have to go look there.
Xaryxis Portrait AstralElfAssassin
Astral Elf Assassin:
Lies -- you feral humanoids think you can outwit the brightest of Xaryxis? You shall fail as your world does. To arms!
40 Defeat the Astral Elf Assassin The astral elf assassin lands on your deck, ready to end this once and for all. Fight back and repel the boarding!
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
I...Thank you for protecting me.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Well we need you. To save Toril....And maybe it's really not fair your own brother is turning on you like this.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Now's our chance. Get over to that ship!
Icon Portrait Squiddly
Squiddly:
Whoa! This ship really does look like a giant moth!
Xaryxis Portrait AstralElfAristocrat
Astral Elf Aristocrat:
Intruders! It's the Torilians! Hand over Princess Xedalli!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Nah, we're just here to sabotage YOUR ship.
41 Defeat 25 Enemies On the deck of the Moondancer, astral elves demand the return of Xedalli...but they don't seem friendly about it!
42 Defeat 25 Enemies Astral elves continue their assault of the Moondancer! Stand your ground!
43 Collect 25 Arrows Those astral elves can't fire their bows if you take their arrows! Cut this fight short!
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
Cease this! I will not return with you! Xeleth can have the throne! Just let us go in peace!
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
No, no, no! We need you to fix the vines!
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
I don't even know if that's possible, and they are going to kill all of you!
Xaryxis Portrait AstralElfAristocrat
Astral Elf Aristocrat:
Ah, Princess Xedalli. There you are. You of all people should know peace was never an option. Seize them!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Seizing us was never an option either! Die evil!
44 Defeat 25 Enemies Who is Xedalli if they want her this badly? They're not explaining so much as attacking you, so fight back!
Xaryxis Portrait AstralElfAristocrat
Astral Elf Aristocrat:
How dare you! You who know better than most what is required for the Xaryxian Empire to remain strong! You should have stayed on that planet and died to prevent weakness on the throne!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Your culture sounds deeply messed up!
Xaryxis Portrait AstralElfAristocrat
Astral Elf Aristocrat:
Insolent creature! No one said you could speak!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
Like I'd listen if you did! Eat glaive!
45 Defeat the Astral Elf Aristocrat The astral elf aristocrat demands you bow down. Counteroffer: let's fight!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well, I have no idea how this kind of ship works, so I have no idea how much time I've bought us. But either way, we should get back to the Moondancer.
Xaryxis Portrait ElenaSartell
Elaina:
That may be easier said than done! The whole crew is up in arms!
46 Defeat 25 Enemies The astral elves block your way back to the Moondancer! They can't let you escape!
47 Defeat 25 Enemies You haven't travelled this far to lose your ship-to-ship space battle! Take those astral elves down!
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
If my brother sent this ship, perhaps they are a rogue force. Perhaps my father yet lives!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
How could we tell?
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
Check them to see if they bear his personal signet.
48 Collect 25 Sigils of Xaryxis Surely these astral elves have some symbol of their allegiance! Check their pockets!
Icon Havilar
Havilar:
More mean butterfly badges.
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
Oh. Oh no. That is the royal insignia. Xeleth must be acting as emperor now.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Then we can't wait around here!
49 Defeat 25 Enemies The Dark Star sends another wave of astral elves toward you! Clear some space to make your escape!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
What was that?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Another ship! Why are they attacking?
Xaryxis Portrait Xedalli
Xedalli:
Because they are githyanki! Those are pirates! We need to flee!
Xaryxis Portrait AstralElfCommander
Astral Elf Commander:
You're not going anywhere, your radiant highness.
50 Defeat the Astral Elf Commander A githyanki corsair appears, attacking the Dark Star! But the commander can't let you flee! Fight your way free and get back to the Moondancer!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Now we definitely have to get back to the Moondancer. Maybe we can get away while the gith attack.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
And hurry on to the Rock of Bral. If there's any chance of stopping the Xaryxian attack on Toril, we need to find it soon.
Icon Nordom
Nordom:
And we should be concerned about more astral elves. They may try to seize Xedalli again.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
I maintain they should be concerned about US. Let's go!
