Transcript

The Ring of Regeneration
Explore a strange temple while trying to save a dying noble.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Bruenor:	A dying noble in Daggerford wants me ta recover a magical item from a nearby temple. Sounds easy enough. Ye walk through any temple long enough, and yer bound to trip over somethin' ta help ye heal.
1	Defeat 25 Monsters		Head out of Daggerford, cleaning up a few rats along the way.
2	Defeat 25 Monsters		You're almost immediately set upon by bears and wolves. How predictable.
3	Defeat 25 Monsters		Suddenly the bears and wolves back off. You've strayed into boar territory.
4	Collect 15 Boar Tusks		Gather some boar tusks to show off back in town.
5	Defeat the Momma Boar		The Momma Boar has shown up, and she doesn't seem happy with you.
6	Defeat 25 Monsters		Free of the boars, you're back on the path towards the temple.
7	Defeat 25 Monsters		Zombies begin to appear interspersed with the wolves and bears native to these forests.
8	Collect 10 Colorful Rags		There's something odd about these zombies. Gather some of their strange colorful rags.
9	Defeat 25 Monsters		The temple is just ahead. Press forward through the mass of zombies.
Celeste:	I think that's the temple we're after up ahead.
Bruenor:	The temple with the magical life-saving ring is infested with undead? That's irony fer ya.
10	Defeat the Zombie Cleric		As you approach the temple, an undead cleric shuffles from the entrance and attacks.
11	Defeat 25 Monsters		Slinking in the shadows are several unfamiliar undead. Suddenly, they attack.
Nayeli:	This stonework is unlike anything I have seen before.
Celeste:	You're right, Nayeli. It is not native to this land. I swear I have seen it someplace before, though.
12	Collect 20 Vine Samples		Collect some of the temple's flora for further study. It's never the wrong time for scholarship!
13	Defeat 25 Monsters		Ghouls roam the halls in packs, driven by an insatiable hunger for humanoid flesh.
14	Defeat 25 Monsters		The ghouls seem to have been driven back for now, but a seemingly unending horde of zombies continue to attack.
15	Defeat the Temple Guardian		A hulking construct leaps out of the shadows.
16	Defeat 25 Monsters		This section of the temple appears to be less intact than the others. The floor is slightly slanted as well.
Celeste:	I recognize these symbols. They are the symbol of Ubtao, the ancient god of Chult.
Nayeli:	What would a temple dedicated to Ubtao and Chult be found here?
Celeste:	Ubtao abandonded Chult many years ago. Perhaps some of his followers left as well?
17	Collect 18 Stone Symbols		Collect some of the fallen stone symbols.
18	Defeat 25 Monsters		Hold off the undead while your party studies the symbols.
Celeste:	I am starting to think that the temple itself may be from Chult.
Bruenor:	How is that possible? Ye cannot lift a temple onto a cart and drag it across the land.
Celeste:	Perhaps some great magic moved it here. I do not know for certain.
19	Defeat 25 Monsters		Chult, a jungle peninsula off the coast far to the south, is largely shrouded in mystery.
20	Defeat the Ghoul Lord		An enormous ghoul appears from behind a crumbling column.
21	Defeat 25 Monsters		The next chamber over is filled with snakes. Flying snakes.
22	Collect 25 Flying Snake Wings		Clip some wings and see if that helps dissuade the others.
23	Defeat 25 Monsters		It didn't help. Just keep fighting.
24	Defeat 25 Monsters		The snakes seem to slither from every crack in the stone.
25	Defeat the Flying Snake Swarm		A large swarm of snakes conglomerates in the darkness and attacks.
26	Defeat 25 Monsters		The walls here have crumbled, allowing wolves and bears from the nearby forest to flood in.
Nayeli:	Ugh, what's that smell?
Jarlaxle:	It looks like we're not the first to explore this temple.
27	Collect 10 Adventurer Packs		The corner is littered with corpses of adventurers. Scrounge for supplies.
28	Defeat 25 Monsters		Protect the dignity of the adventurers by fighting back the wildlife attempting to drag them off.
Celeste:	These corpses were laid out deliberately and respectfully.
Bruenor:	What are ye saying, Celeste?
Celeste:	Someone survived whatever attack killed these adventurers. They may still be around.
29	Defeat 25 Monsters		Some undead begin to appear from behind you. Battle both them and the wildlife.
30	Defeat the Zombie Adventurer		Suddenly one of the adventurers stands up. He's not looking too healthy.
Celeste:	I don't think that was our mysterious survivor, but rather one of the unfortunately dead who was animated. Let's keep going.
31	Defeat 25 Monsters		You break into another ruined chamber. The air here is dense and moist.
Voice:	Why did you come here?
Bruenor:	Moradin's beard! Who said that?
Voice:	Only death can be found here. Death. Death. Death.
32	Defeat 25 Monsters		The darkness is pervasive. You can't tell where the voice came from.
33	Collect 15 Damp Torches		Search for a torch that can be lit.
Voice:	I couldn't save them. Not even the Nine Gods could. Death. Death. Death.
Bruenor:	Show yourself!
34	Defeat 25 Monsters		Whispers from the darkness mix with the shrieks and moans of the undead.
Mad Tabaxi Hunter:	Salvation? Or just another trick? Curse you, Nine Gods! Death. Death. Death.
35	Defeat the Mad Tabaxi Hunter		The adventurer finally reveals themself. For whatever reason, they've gone mad.
36	Defeat 25 Monsters		You find yourself in a dark passageway leading sharply upwards.
37	Collect 20 Tangled Vines		The passageway is clogged with vines and moss. Clear some of it out.
Bruenor:	Aha. The pinnacle of the temple. If the ring is anywhere, it's here.
38	Defeat 25 Monsters		You reach the pinnacle of the temple and are immediately set upon by snakes swarming around it.
39	Defeat 25 Monsters		Push the snakes back away from the center of the pinnacle.
40	Defeat the Zombie Flying Snake		A giant flying snake with dead eyes crashes out of the trees and flaps towards you, hissing.
41	Collect 15 Flying Snake Skins		The snakes seem to be shedding their skins and fleeing now that their undead leader is dead.
42	Defeat 25 Monsters		Undead swarm from the passage behind you. Defend yourselves!
Celeste:	Look at all the lockboxes. People left offerings to Ubtao up here.
Nayeli:	Maybe the ring is in one of them.
43	Collect 10 Rotting Lockboxes		Gather rotted lockboxes in an attempt to find the Ring.
44	Defeat 25 Monsters		There's a crash from down below. There's something big down there. And it's coming up here.
45	Defeat the Girallon Zombie		With a final crash of shattered stone and moss, a zombified ape appears from the passage.
Bruenor:	Look here. That thing was wearing the ring we're after.
Bruenor:	Let's head back to town and collect our reward. I've had enough undead for one day.
46	Defeat 25 Monsters		With the Ring of Regeneration in hand, it's time to get back to town.
47	Defeat 25 Monsters		A horde of zombies and ghouls appears on the path behind you, driven mad by some unseen force.
Bruenor:	We're back, but these undead are relentless.
Noble:	Do you have the ring?
Bruenor:	Of course. Here you go. Now, about that reward...
Noble:	Patience, dwarf. The reward is only yours if this ring is the real thing.
48	Defeat 25 Monsters		Hold off the zombies while the noble attempts to make use of the ring.
Noble:	It didn't work. I don't understand. Are you sure this is the right ring?
Bruenor:	Celeste tried it out on the way back from the temple and it worked for her.
Noble:	Then the rumors are true...
Bruenor:	What rumors? Tell us what's going on here.
49	Collect 12 Lit Torches		Gather some torches to force the zombies back and buy more time.
50	Defeat the Wight		A horrific apparition appears from the zombie horde.
Noble:	I suppose it's time I told you the truth. I have been resurrected before, and now, due to this curse, I am slowly wasting away.
Celeste:	That's terrible. Isn't there anything that can be done?
Noble:	I have tried everything. This ring was my last hope, but it has no effect on me.
Celeste:	Is there anything more we can do to help?
Noble:	I have no more leads beyond the ring, but I will contact you if I learn anything more.
