Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Thank the fates! I don't think anyone was badly hurt by that fireball!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I won't say the same for the nimblewright that threw it. We need to get onto the Gralhund estate and find it!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Catchin' up ta that runaway construct and findin' tha Stone o' Golorr is still on tha ta-do list fer sure. But right now, we got more pressin' concerns. Everyone ta me! And get ready ta fight!
1 Defeat 25 Monsters In the aftermath of the missing nimblewright's fireball attack, the Zhentarim make their move! And these seagulls are getting in the way of your counterattack!
2 Defeat 25 Monsters Giant rats have been driven from the shadows by the fireball blast!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
These Zhents aren't giving up. And they're drawing a suspicious number of reinforcements from close by.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
It seems a safe bet that the Gralhunds and the Zhentarim are in some sort of alliance. I look forward to the day when I meet a noble in Waterdeep who doesn't have a relationship with the criminal underworld.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Now, now. Without corruption, the forces of good and law would have nothing to do with themselves. So really, we provide a valuable service for people like you.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
'We', Jarlaxle?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I said 'they.' You must not have heard me correctly...
3 Collect 25 Zhentarim Spy Emblems These Zhentarim spies get too much confidence from the rigid hierarchy of their organization. Shake that hierarchy up a bit!
4 Defeat 25 Monsters Another force of spies pushes you hard. Stand fast!
5 Defeat the Zhentarim Troublemaker The troublemaker who leads these Zhentarim spies seems to think this is a fight the Black Network can win. Show them all the error of their ways!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I think that's the last of them. Though I don't doubt there'll be more Zhents inside the estate.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
It'll be a nice reunion, then. We'll have all sorts o' things ta talk about, like what a fine sight their friends've made so far as we mowed our way through 'em.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I'll sure that'll be quite the conversation starter.
6 Defeat 25 Monsters The grounds of the estate seem relatively safe. But these swarming rabbits aren't making it easy to get through.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I'm still not seeing any sign of trouble. No Zhents in sight.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
But no house guards either. Does that strike you as odd?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
They might be outside the grounds, helping with the fire effort. But the nimblewright detector says we're on the right track.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. That fireball must o' hit me harder than I thought. Still got a buzzin' in me ears.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Pretty sure that's not from the fireball. Also, look out!
7 Defeat 25 Monsters Giant bees from the gardens have been disturbed by the rampaging rabbits!
8 Collect 25 Bee Wings Keeping these bees on the ground will slow their swarming!
9 Defeat 25 Monsters Cats that patrol the gardens have apparently mistaken you for vermin! Clear this clowder out!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Ow! I swear, if I get stung one more time...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. Ain't but a scratch, elf. It'll toughen ya up.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
It's not me I'm worried about. My new cloak looks like a pincushion... wait, hang on. There's someone up ahead.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
It looks like the groundskeeper. Perhaps he can help us get these bees under control?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Based on how he's screaming incoherently and setting his dogs on us, I'm pretty sure he's got other plans...
10 Defeat the Groundskeeper and Mastiffs This groundskeeper has taken particular offense at your presence. Time to convince him you're just passing through!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
The readings on the detector are getting stronger. I think the nimblewright is inside the Gralhund villa.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like a kitchen through that there open door. Good a way as any ta get inside. Come on.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Watch your step, though. I can see bodies ahead.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
It's the house guards! We're too late to help these ones. This is the work of the Zhentarim, no doubt.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like it, judgin' from tha general sloppiness o' it all. Ain't never met a Zhent yet that'd take tha time ta do anythin' with pride. Even killin'.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Listen up! Footsteps. It's more guards on the way!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
And finding us with these bodies, it's a safe bet what they're going to think...
11 Defeat 25 Monsters The Gralhund house guards don't know you're not the enemy. Put them down easily before someone gets hurt!
12 Defeat 25 Monsters The Zhentarim join the fray from the other side, eager to help the Gralhund guards finish you off!
13 Collect 25 Rations This endless fight is going to leave you famished! Better stock up on snacks while you can.
14 Defeat 25 Monsters The Zhentarim take point! Don't let these blackguards get the upper hand!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
'Ere now! This fightin' has gotta stop. We ain't yer enemy, leastwise not unless ye and these Zhents is closer than ya look!
Icon Portrait GralhundGuard
Gralhund Guard:
Save your speeches, dwarf! We'll drive back all enemies of the Gralhund house, I don't care what livery you wear!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Waste of time talking to this one. But if what we've seen of them is the best they can do, I'm not worried.
Icon Portrait GralhundGuard
Gralhund Guard:
Time to take the fight to these intruders! Release the beast!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Say what now?
15 Defeat the Crazed Owlbear The Gralhund guards have a secret weapon! And you've got a real fight on your hands!
16 Defeat 25 Monsters With no sign of the Zhentarim, the Gralhund guards once more focus their wrath on you!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I have to say, I admire the decor here. It's not everyday you get to assault a force of house guards amid such style.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
You've got a weird sense of what seems important during a fight, drow.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Listen, just because we're in the middle of a murderous slog through enemy territory doesn't mean we lose our sense of aesthetics.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Less barkin', more harkin', elf! Is that dogs I'm hearin'?
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I hear them too. A lot of them...
17 Defeat 25 Monsters Wild dogs from the city have entered the house and are running amok! Look sharp!
18 Collect 25 Keys The guards' free movement through the house is letting them get behind you. Grab their keys to limit that movement!
19 Defeat 25 Monsters You have the guards where you want them -- but another pack of dogs is suddenly in your way!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
These dogs are relentless. I can barely read the nimblewright detector. I don't know if we're still heading in the right direction.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
We can take the time for a proper reading once this miscreant mob of guards is dealt with. I can see that boastful beast master ahead. Everyone with me!
Icon Portrait GralhundGuard
Gralhund Guard:
They're attacking again! Release lord Gralhund's falcon! Let's collect some eyes from these reprobates!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Gotta say, I'm kinda attached ta seein', friend. But maybe we'll do a compromise, and we'll all look tha other way while ye and yers run while ye got tha chance!
20 Defeat the Falcon The chaos of the fight seems the perfect opportunity for a hunting falcon to pick you off! Stay close!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I've got a reading again. We need to keep moving, through this library.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Looks like the Gralhund guards are fond of reading. The place is mobbed... no, wait. That's not just guards.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Cultists of Asmodeus! What are these foul fiend-worshippers doing here?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Only one way ta find out, I'm guessin'. Come on!
21 Defeat 25 Monsters The Gralhund estate is growing busier by the hour. Clear these cultists out!
22 Defeat 25 Monsters No matter that you're ultimately aiding them, the Gralhund guards show no sign of appreciating your hard work.
23 Collect 25 Questionable Books Whatever books these Asmodeus worshippers want are undoubtedly bad news. Grab them before the cultists can!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Tyr be praised, I think we have these cultists where we want them. Now if we can just avoid any complications.
Icon Portrait GralhundGuard
Gralhund Guard:
There they are! Everyone look sharp now! Attack!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ah, that's fine. I'd hate ta have too easy a time o' things. Wouldn't be sportin'.
24 Defeat 25 Monsters Guards and cultists press in from both sides. It's a two-front fight!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Wait... I sense something. There's an evil presence ahead.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That nimblewright, maybe? Most o' them construct types walks some kind o' balance, but that Nim who created this one said it went mad. Maybe it's taste fer killin' is stronger than we thought.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
No. It's undead I'm sensing. There!
25 Defeat the Tiefling Specters Lost lore isn't the only dangerous thing hiding in this library. Put these specters down, and quickly!
26 Defeat 25 Monsters The Gralhund fortune was made from weapons and mercenaries, and the latter half of that business appears to be booming. There's no end to these guards!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Look sharp! There's someone ahead giving orders to the guards.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I recognize her. That's Yalah Gralhund, the matriarch of the family.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Maybe try ta get a word in with her, then. She can call these guards o' hers off us finally.
Icon Portrait YalahGralhund
Yalah Gralhund:
I see you there, villains! You should know your invasion of my home will not stand! The Watch have been called and are on the way!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Right, so what was plan B?
Icon Portrait YalahGralhund
Yalah Gralhund:
Curse these Zhentarim and their broken promises. Where are the full forces I was promised?
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Well, there's confirmation of our earlier guess. We need to talk to this one.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Then we're gonna have ta get ta her first. Come on!
27 Defeat 25 Monsters As fast as you drive them back, another wave of guards presses in!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Look! Those crates in the corridor ahead... how interesting.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
What is it? Some kinda trap?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No. But these markings show them as property of the City Watch. Stealing these sorts of labeled goods is risky. We need to be careful handling this sort of contraband.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
'We' again?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Quite certain I said 'they.' The din of this battle must be affecting your hearing.
28 Collect 25 Crates of Stolen Goods These ill-gotten goods will make solid evidence of the Gralhund family's connection to the Black Network. Grab some crates!
29 Defeat 25 Monsters A brute squad of Zhentarim thugs closes in. Hit them hard!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Yalah Gralhund! We are not your enemies unless you will it so. Call off your guards and we might show you clemency. We come seeking the nimblewright that fled to your estate.
Icon Portrait YalahGralhund
Yalah Gralhund:
You show some nerve speaking to your betters that way. Ziraj! Protect me! And teach these rabble a lesson!
30 Defeat the Ziraj Fate has granted you a rematch -- and the half-orc assassin Ziraj the Hunter won't escape you a second time!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Finally got a moment o' quiet in here. Looks like we got tha Zhents and tha Gralhund guards thinkin' twice about gettin' in our way.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
And in good time, too. The nimblewright detector is showing a strong presence. The construct is here, and close by.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I don't see it anywhere ahead. But it looks like it's created some company for itself...
31 Defeat 25 Monsters Your pursuit of the nimblewright seems to be back on track -- at least to judge from the mechanical guards suddenly pressing you!
32 Defeat 25 Monsters More mechanical guards push in! Drive these clockwork threats back!
33 Collect 25 Mechanical Pieces Gralhund house guards have joined the fray again! Perhaps a bit of reconstruction will slow these mechanical guards down!
34 Defeat 25 Monsters With two forces pressing you at once, you can't get an edge in this fight!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. These mechanical guards need a real beatin' ta get 'em ta fall. But we're makin' headway, I think.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Hold that thought. Does anyone hear a familiar chirping sound?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
It's a mechanical sparrow like the one that attacked us as we searched for Nim!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That blasted Nim-nimblewright seems ta have made sure that its friend learned all its clockwork-makin' tricks. Watch yerselves!
35 Defeat the Mechanical Sparrow This mechanical sparrow is as potent a threat as the last one you fought. Look sharp!
36 Defeat 25 Monsters Finally, a reprieve from endless waves of guards! Thankfully, these cultists are ready to keep you company.
37 Defeat 25 Monsters Catching the cultists by surprise has given you the advantage. Now finish them!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. Looks like them Gralhund house guards has regrouped. And one o' them's shoutin' somethin'.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No, not them. It's coming from behind that barricaded door.
Icon Portrait OrondGarlhund
Orond Gralhund:
Save me! Remember who you take your orders from! I'm too important to die! Keep them out, out, out!!!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well, if that's not an invitation to meet, I don't know what is. Let's go!
38 Defeat 1 Baricaded Door This force of guards seems intent on keeping you on the wrong side of the door. Bad idea.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Right! Looks like we got a boss ta fight!
Icon Portrait OrondGarlhund
Orond Gralhund:
Fight?! Ah, no! Please! I'll do anything! I was trapped in here by those guards! I'm the real victim!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I recognize this one, too. Orond Gralhund, the patriarch of the family.
Icon Portrait OrondGarlhund
Orond Gralhund:
Orond?! Never heard of him! You want someone else! Mercy, please!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Right, not so much a fight as a withering collapse.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
No time ta be disappointed. Grab him up and let's keep movin', before that nimblewright gets away.
Icon Portrait OrondGarlhund
Orond Gralhund:
Ah! All right, enough! I'll talk! It was my wife's idea, all of it! She was the one who came into possession of the Stone of Golorr. She had claimed that crazed nimblewright as her servant! She told it where to take the stone, but I don't know where! I swear it to you, please don't hurt me again!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Actually, none of us touched you. I think you just got a splinter off that doorjamb there.
Icon Portrait OrondGarlhund
Orond Gralhund:
What? Oh... well, it hurt. It was right in the soft part of my palm.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like none o' us is comin' through this day unscathed. Keep this blighter talkin', and let's move.
39 Defeat 25 Monsters The chaos in the manor is bringing forth vermin looking for easy spoils. Push past these giant rats and get out of here!
40 Defeat the Bloodthirsty Rat This rat pack is led by a bloodthirsty brute! Cut this rodent down to size!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Gotta say, fer people o' means, these Gralhunds could do with spendin' some coin on an exterminator. This rodent problem o' theirs is substantial. Oi! Where'd that Orond go?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Slipped away during the fight. He said something about being too important to be eaten by rats.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
And you let him escape?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
With pleasure. Five minutes listening to him confess, and there's nothing I don't know about the Gralhunds' illegal business dealings. I'll fill you in.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Look! The nimblewright detector is active again. The construct is straight ahead.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Makes sense. Orond said that's where we'd find his wife. Come on.
41 Defeat 25 Monsters More mechanical guards are running amok! Deal with these clanking thugs!
42 Defeat 25 Monsters The Gralhund guards are finally taking the fight to the Asmodeus cultists! Or at least they were until both groups decided to focus on you!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I don't like the look of this. There are relics and cult materials all over this area. There's some sort of ritual being set up here.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
What in Tyr's name are all these noble families up to with their evil rites?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
That's a question we'll need to answer...
43 Collect 25 Ritual Artifacts These dark ritual artifacts must hold some clue to what's going on here. Grab them, and quickly!
44 Defeat 25 Monsters The Gralhund house guards make another stand. Push through this mob while you can!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I'm hearin' shriekin' again. Is them rats back?
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
That's not coming from inside. Look, through the window! Those are the mounts of the Griffon Cavalry.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
They're circling the estate. And I'm quite certain they'll be looking for someone to blame this attack on.
Icon Portrait UlkoriaStonemarrow
Ulkoria:
Then we don't have much time...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
The detector's signal is clear. The nimblewright is near. But I'm losing its direction...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I'm going to guess that it's straight beyond that bodyguard running a defensive pattern in front of us.
Icon Portrait Hrabbaz
Hrabbaz:
Ruffians, all of you! You will not have my lady Yalah Gralhund this day!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Look here, friend. First thing we want from yer lady is answers, and it'll be easier on both o' ya...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Save your breath, dwarf. And brace for impact!
45 Defeat the Hrabbaz This half-orc bodyguard looks like he packs a punch! Finish him before the nimblewright escapes!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
There's Lady Gralhund! And she means to make this a real fight to judge by the number of guards she's surrounded herself with.
