Split the party and reveal the kobold threat!
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ah, this is tha life. Beautiful day fer walkin', don't ye think?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I don't even know what day it is. All we do is walk. This endless slog across the Sword Coast will be the death of me...
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Blah, blah, blah. Listen to those two up at the front, always prattling on. Maybe ask the leader of the Sirens for assistance once in a while and we wouldn't be battling angry rabbits all the time!
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
Oh, come now, darlin'. Bruenor's right! It's another wonderful day in the light!
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Fate take your light. And fate take riding shotgun while they solve the worlds problems!
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
Now, now, friend Vlahnya. I've know Bruenor Battlehammer many a year, and I promise you he leads not from arrogance. A brave dwarf, Bruenor is. Why I could tell you tales...
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Oh, listen! There's Jarlaxle shouting again, like he's the only one in this party who ever spots anything. Giant frogs attacking. That seems worth our time.
1 Defeat 25 Monsters The roads of the Sword Coast go ever on and on. Time to get this journey hopping!
2 Defeat 25 Monsters This forest seems endless -- but these giant bees are intent on hurrying you along.
Icon Deekin
Deekin:
Deekin just saying. No one says where we go. The bosses know. The bosses don't say. Deekin senses doom ahead!
Icon Korth
Korth:
Deekin senses nothing but doom. Deekin also talks too much by far. Doom brings the chance for glory in combat. And these so-called 'bosses.' Anyone could lead this group as well as they. And some could lead it better.
Icon Warden
Warden:
Worthless talk from all of you. You style yourself a leader, lizard? Such power is wasted on the living.
Icon Korth
Korth:
Tough words, warforged. You have someone better in mind? Or do you give me an excuse to prove my point?
Icon Zorbu
Zorbu:
Ooh, Celeste is calling! There's an important task at hand! Let's go!
Icon Warden
Warden:
A challenge at last. Perhaps a task worthy of me, finally... or not...
3 Collect 25 Rabbits Rabbits swarm the roadway -- and will be in trouble when the next wagons come along. Clear these critters out!
4 Defeat 25 Monsters Ancient vermin lurk in the old heart of these woods. Take them out!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
There's an unnatural feel to these woods. We should proceed carefully, I think...
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Oh, really? How grateful we all are for your advice, Celeste. I would have looked forward to running through the trees like a maniac otherwise.
Icon Spurt
Spurt:
It's REAL QUIET here at the back of the party isn't it?!
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Gah! Well, it was till you started screeching, kobold. Being stuck back here is bad enough, but you could at least leave me in peace.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Everyone hold up! There's a pack of boars straight ahead. Rooting for grubs in the undergrowth, it looks like. They haven't seen us yet...
Icon Spurt
Spurt:
Grubs!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I think them boars'll let us pass if we give 'em space. We just gotta... no! Spurt, YER NOT QUIET! Oi, there he goes. And here they come!
5 Defeat the Alpha Boar A boar pack has closed in around this fallen giant. And they don't take kindly to trespassers!
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
My friends, I've scouted ahead, and there's a village. But we may have trouble there.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
If by 'trouble,' you mean 'angry mob,' I think you're definitely right.
Icon Portrait OverAmbitiousMayor
Overambitious Mayor:
There they are! Those tiny reptilian rabble! Hand them over, I say, in the name of the mayor's office!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Oh, Tyr task me... it's you again! The Griffon Cavalry of Waterdeep gave you your marching orders, I see?
Icon Portrait OverAmbitiousMayor
Overambitious Mayor:
Aha! You so-called Champions! I should have expected to find you harboring known bandits and scalawags! Turn over those kobolds at once!
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
Hey now! These kobolds are Champions same as all the rest!
Icon Deekin
Deekin:
Yeah! Deekin scaly, sure. But no wagging here!
Icon Birdsong
Birdsong:
I don't mean to interrupt this little bit of acrimony and misjudgment, but all eyes to the woods! Boar pack, coming in fast!
6 Defeat 25 Monsters The misunderstanding with these forest villagers just needs a bit of quiet time to get sorted. Too bad the boars that have followed you didn't get that memo.
Icon Portrait OverAmbitiousMayor
Overambitious Mayor:
This attack is a ruse, I tell you! The kobolds and their allies mean to distract us! Insolent creatures! Take them down now!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
You make a single step toward any of the Champions, and you'll pay for it.
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Now, now! Everyone calm down. Nayeli, take a step back and relax. I'll talk to our new friend and see what's going on. Let someone else take charge for a change, eh?
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
There, you see? Getting some fresh faces up in the front ranks can work wonders for diplomacy. The village has been attacked repeatedly by kobold bandits. That's what has them up in arms about our short, scaled friends.
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
That mayor apologized, but he's still downright rude, if you ask me.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
He's that and more, Ishi. But these folks'll give ye a fair shake now.
Icon Zorbu
Zorbu:
Fascinating. I've spoken to the villagers as well, and they have the most marvelous tales. There are goblins in the wood, selling magical apples to folk across the forest twice a year. A red apple at midsummer brings health and wellness. A white apple at midwinter brings death!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ye sound a tad too excited about that, Zorbu. But where's these goblins comin' from?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
The villagers speak of an old ruin not far from here. The Sunless Citadel, they call it.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Sounds like a thing worth investigatin' if ye ask me. Just need ta keep an eye out fer trouble on tha way.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
We won't need long to look, Bruenor. There! Kobold attack!
7 Defeat 25 Monsters A kobold attack puts the villagers in a panic! Time for the Champions to step up!
8 Collect 25 Boar Livers The kobolds retreat, but these boars won't let you pursue. Maybe marking a few of them for the butcher's shop will convince the others to flee.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Them kobolds has scarpered, sure 'nuff. Best leave 'em fer now, then. We should try ta find this Sunless Citadel before night falls.
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
What foul magic those goblin pests have tapped into must be determined, yes. But are the kobold bandits not the more direct threat, Bruenor? There are other villages at risk.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
We need to deal with one threat at a time. And dark magic in the hands of goblins would be my priority...
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
They're all talking up at the front again. Can anyone hear what they're saying?
Icon Warden
Warden:
All words are wasted. Action is all that matters. When the final dark comes, our deeds will be remembered. Our words will be as chaff on the wind.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
So that's a 'no'? Maybe I'll try to get closer. Whoops! Everybody! We've got company!
9 Defeat 25 Monsters Another kobold war band is on the move -- and vultures attracted to the fallen boars are in your way!
10 Defeat the Kobold Dragonshield This dragonshield holds the loyalty of these kobold warriors. Take out the leader to send this war band packing!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
These kobold pests ain't showin' no signs o' fear. Thinkin' maybe ye're right, Wulfgar. We should be settin' up fer a hunt.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I don't know, Bruenor. The villagers' talk of apples has me worried. There are old stories... I think we need to find out what secret those goblins are holding.
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
Well, then allow me to make a suggestion. Let us divide our forces. Celeste, you can lead a team to seek this citadel. The rest of us will pursue these kobolds. Hopefully, when we meet, we'll have two successful missions to report.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Can't say I'm fond o' splittin' tha party. But in this case, I think ye might be right. Champions! We got foes ta find and plots ta solve, and not 'nuff time. Pick yer team and go quick. We'll meet back here if we don't see each other sooner.
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Well! Finally a chance to lead a mission. This has been a long time coming.
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
A long time indeed. But pray tell, what makes you think the mission will be led by you?
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Oh, you're such a charmer, wizard. Come on. We've got hunting to do.
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
The tracks are clear enough. The kobold bandits aren't far ahead of us.
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
'Alleged kobold bandits.'
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
I don't know, Ishi. They attacked us, remember?
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
Allegedly attacked us. Look, fine, yes -- the kobolds we're looking for have some issues. But when we jump to conclusions, mistakes get made. It never hurts to try talking.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Point taken, Ishi. Our job is to disrupt this banditry, and if parley serves as well as swords, so be it.
Icon Korth
Korth:
It becomes clear that I have taken up with the wrong group. I came to fight.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Oh, I think you'll get your chance, Korth. Look out!
11 Defeat 25 Monsters Keeping after these kobold bandits would be easier without this surprise giant fly assault!
12 Defeat 25 Monsters Kobolds on the ground and flies in the air are a relentless combination. Fight on!
13 Defeat 2 Damaged Huts Kobold archers have set up behind barricades and are looking to cut you down. Push through!
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
All right, I acknowledge that talking has not been as productive as I might have hoped. But at least we have the kobolds on the run.
Icon Warden
Warden:
I disagree. I found the discourse of the bandits I dealt with most enlightening.
Icon Spurt
Spurt:
LIGHTNING?!
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Spurt. Perhaps you could scout ahead? Some arbitrarily large, quiet distance?
Icon Spurt
Spurt:
Sure! I run up there with the wolves! Rargh puppies!
Icon Birdsong
Birdsong:
Wait! Spurt, no! Everyone, come on!
Icon Korth
Korth:
Are you certain? This could be fun to watch.
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
Enough with your jokes, Korth. Come Champions! For Tempus!
14 Defeat 25 Monsters The kobolds have scattered at last -- but a wolf pack quickly fills the gap!
Icon Zorbu
Zorbu:
I've analyzed this wolf pack's attacks, and their movement suggests an alpha is nearby. Straight through there, then left. What's that in the trees?
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
That's another kobold, darlin'. And he's doing that hand-waving wizard thing.
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
How dare you? That's a sorcerer, not a wizard. That should be as plain as day.
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
I tend to worry less about subtle distinctions, and more about potential destruction. Everybody scatter!
15 Defeat the Kobold Scale Sorcerer These wolves are under kobold control! Take out this scale sorcerer, and quickly!
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
There are kobold tracks everywhere. But there's something else too. We're not the only ones after this band of ruffians.
Icon Birdsong
Birdsong:
What kind of tracks?
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
I'm not sure. Thin... spindly...
Icon Warden
Warden:
The trees are moving.
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
Almost like that, yes.
Icon Warden
Warden:
No, fool. The trees are moving.
Icon Birdsong
Birdsong:
Twig blights! Watch out!
16 Defeat 25 Monsters As you move through the wood, the wood moves at you! Twig blights are swarming!
Icon Birdsong
Birdsong:
Those blights have a scent that's easy enough to track. But there's something else over it here... goblins!
Icon Deekin
Deekin:
Deekin spot kobold camp ahead. Doom has come to them. Doom and goblins.
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Indeed? It looks like we've completed our own quest and picked up on the others' as well. That'll show them who should be in charge. Now, here's what we're going to do...
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Pretty sure I can take it from here, but thanks for your suggestions, Dhadius. Everyone! Goblin hunt!
17 Defeat 25 Monsters Even as you move forward against a goblin raiding party, another force of twig blights pushes in!
18 Collect 25 Twig Samples These unnatural blights need further study. Snap off a few samples while you can!
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
This incessant goblin babble is wearing at me. Can't they simply die quietly?
Icon Deekin
Deekin:
Boss! Someone shouting in Draconic! Listen!
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
Ow! Let me go! Leave me to despair! Oh, Calcryx!
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
The goblins have a kobold prisoner. Come on!
19 Defeat 25 Monsters A force of goblin warriors unleashes an assault while archers try to pin you down!
Icon Portrait GoblinWarleader
Goblin Warleader:
Flee while you can, interlopers! These woods are ours!
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
By Tempus, these woods are the realm of any folk willing to share the land in peace. Your warlike actions bring this fight down on you, goblin!
Icon Portrait GoblinWarleader
Goblin Warleader:
Impudent tallfolk! We claim this land! Our forest! Our citadel! Our future! No kobolds, no tallfolk, no intruders will take it from us! Kill them all!
20 Defeat the Goblin Warleader The warleader who directs this band talks a good game. Now to see if the goblins' fighting skill lives up to it!
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
That's shown them. Run, goblins! And look, the prisoner! Deekin, cut him free.
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
Oh, woe. Meepo is still here, and all is despair. Just let them take Meepo. Meepo probably tastes good. Like stringy meat singed with sadness.
Icon Warden
Warden:
I like this one. He'll make a good pet. Come, pet!
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
Watch that talk, you big meanie. Here now, Meepo. You're safe. All is well.
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
No, no, no! Meepo is sad and nothing helps. The goblins stole Calcryx! The clan's dragon! Gone!
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
A dragon, you say? This is interesting news. This Sunless Citadel where the goblins lair. The dragon is there?
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
I like how you're thinking, wizard. A dragon means a hoard. Meepo, I think you should take us to this citadel. Show us where the dragon is, and quickly. If we can get there before our... other friends, I think we can help you.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
Well, that's quite the sight.
Icon Spurt
Spurt:
Looks safe!
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Well, it's a good thing you're as brave as you are, Spurt. Come on. That's one of Jarlaxle's silk ropes along the stairs. The others must already be inside the citadel. If we want to beat them to this dragon, we'll need to move quick.
21 Defeat 25 Monsters These circling vultures seem especially angry. Drive them back!
22 Defeat 25 Monsters With the vultures retreating, a flock of flying snakes emerges from hiding!
Icon Korth
Korth:
Watch out ahead. Rats, pressing up the stairs. Delicious!
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
... Sweetie, I don't think you used the right word there.
Icon Korth
Korth:
No, that's the word. Rats are happiness wrapped in a sticky shell. Quite good.
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
Korth, those rats are dripping with disease! You eat one of them, you'll be having a three-course plague for dessert!
Icon Korth
Korth:
Even better. Fermented rat. Fine dining.
23 Collect 25 Diseased Rat Tails These diseased rats show no signs of fear. Taking a few trophies might change that.
24 Defeat 25 Monsters As fast as you drive these rats away, more skitter in to take their place!
25 Defeat the Falcon It's a crazy fight as a swarm of giant flies buzzes over the rat attack! And this territorial falcon means to take advantage of the chaos!
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
That was an arduous descent. Made worse by the others, no doubt. Getting those monsters riled up, then leaving them for us.
Icon Birdsong
Birdsong:
Seems pretty clear to me that they thinned the ranks of the vultures and the rats for us. Your attitude doesn't do you much service, Dhadius.
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Thank you for your opinion, bard.
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Now, now. Everyone gets along, so we can get going. Meepo, lead the way.
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
Yes, Meepo lead! You help Meepo get Calcryx back! All will be well again!
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Yes, we'll certainly consider that as a serious option to be tabled when the time comes. Quickly now! Let's go!
26 Defeat 25 Monsters Getting off the stairs and into the dungeon hasn't made the going any easier. Another pack of diseased rats attacks!
Icon Korth
Korth:
The pathway branches. One hall is clear, one crumbling.
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
The crumbling hall, yes! The rats go that way, into goblin territory. Calcryx is there!
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Lead on, then, my kobold friend. And everyone move carefully. We don't need this place coming down on top of us.
27 Defeat 25 Monsters No matter which way you go, these rats are intent on following!
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
This room's a dead end. But that dragon sculpture has magic in it...
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
It's fine. Sculpture safe. Asks a riddle to open secret door here.
Icon Portrait DragonStatue
Dragon Sculpture:
We come at night without being fetched; we disappear by day without being stolen. What are we?
Icon Spurt
Spurt:
Oh! Spurt knows this one! Shoes! Champions go to sleep with shoes on, shoes always gone by morning! *belch*
Icon Zorbu
Zorbu:
What? That's ridiculous. The answer is clearly bats. And specifically, the shadowhunter bat, which seeks its prey exclusively...
Icon Deekin
Deekin:
Ha! Deekin knows the answer. Self loathing! Always there at night, always gone by day. Except when it comes back...
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
I'm beginning to think this smaller party isn't quite small enough...
28 Collect 25 Spider Webs The riddle game isn't going the way you want it -- and this pack of giant wolf spiders isn't giving you much time to think!
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Right, the spiders are dealt with. Can we get the answer now please? Meepo?
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
Stars.
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Well done, my kobold friend. What, Dhadius, you didn't know the answer after all that?
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Just trying to keep the kobold feeling useful. That's one of the skills of leadership. Watch me, Vlahnya, and you might learn a few things.
29 Defeat 25 Monsters Another pack of spiders presses in -- just as a rat pack catches up to you!
30 Defeat the Skull-Face Spider A monstrous skull-face spider leads this wolf spider pack. Take all these arachnids down!
Icon Korth
Korth:
Another successful battle. This journey is becoming most auspicious.
Icon Birdsong
Birdsong:
Glad you think so. Though I wouldn't mind an easier route if it comes down to that.
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
No doubt the other Champions have taken the easy way. It's just like them to leave the hard slogging to others.
Icon Birdsong
Birdsong:
I think maybe you know Bruenor and the rest less well than you think you do, then.
Icon Warden
Warden:
Listen. Anyone else hear that?
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
That screaming, you mean? It'd be hard to miss. What in fate's name is that?
Icon Warden
Warden:
Sounds like a troll. They live with no fear of death, so when they come face to face with it at last, their shriek carries an existential dread.
Icon Birdsong
Birdsong:
Whatever it is, and whatever that all means, we'd do well to stay away from it. Come on.
31 Defeat 25 Monsters A straight shot down this hallway should get you away from these diseased rats at last. But the rats have other ideas...
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
Look there! Goblin watchpost! Usually many guards, but they're gone.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
If the other Champions are here, they'll be keeping the goblins busy, no doubt. But at least the rats have fallen back. Have they finally lost the appetite to fight?
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
It seems more likely they just don't want to get stuck in a fight on two fronts. There! Twig blights! By Tempus, we're surrounded!
32 Defeat 25 Monsters This abandoned watchpost is overrun with feral flora! Watch out!
33 Collect 25 Rations These blights are tearing through crates of rations stashed here. Don't let these stores go to waste!
34 Defeat 25 Monsters The twig blights are starting to break under your assault -- but their needle blight kin are out for blood!
35 Defeat the Greater Mimic The needle blights fall back -- to lead you into a greater mimic ambush!
36 Defeat 25 Monsters The diseased rats you drove off have returned for a rematch! And they're looking to spoil your perfect record!
37 Defeat 25 Monsters Even as you gain the edge on one rat pack, another presses in!
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
Plenty of traffic through here. But these tracks are fresh. And not goblins, nor kobolds. I think our friends came this way.
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Blast it. If they find that dragon before we do, this will all have been wasted time. Quickly, now. We need to break through these rats and keep up to the others -- then try to get around them if we can.
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
Come with us in the other group, they said. It won't just be all slogging through monsters like all our other missions, they said.
Icon Korth
Korth:
You joke and fight at once. Very multitalented you are, small friend.
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
Glad someone appreciates it...
38 Collect 25 Dusty Footprints Rats swarm you from out of the darkness. Following the trail of your compatriots will get you through!
Icon Korth
Korth:
The rats fall back. Sadness.
Icon Portrait Yusdrayl
Yusdrayl:
I'd be careful on that count too if I were you. You're in our territory now. And if I hadn't seen you fighting those accursed goblins, you'd be facing more than just rats right now.
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
Yusdrayl! My kobold queen! Meepo has returned to you after being kidnapped, saved, and maybe kidnapped again!
Icon Portrait Yusdrayl
Yusdrayl:
You weren't kidnapped, fool. We gave you to the goblins after your incompetence lost us our dragon!
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
As much as I'd love to listen in on this happy reunion, let's just quickly establish that we're here to rout the goblins. No problem with kobolds at all. Look! Right here in our group. Happy, happy kobolds!
Icon Spurt
Spurt:
Happy AND quiet!
Icon Portrait Yusdrayl
Yusdrayl:
Fortunate for you. Another group came through and met our wrath. Friends of yours perhaps?
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
You've got our promise that if we catch up to them, we'll tell them how lucky they were to get away.
39 Defeat 25 Monsters The kobolds who control this area are giving you a free pass -- but the rats make a frenzied assault from all sides! Stand fast!
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
The rats are running. Or are they just regrouping again?
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
No, they're running. Something's got their attention down that side corridor. But there's something else pushing in! Watch out!
40 Defeat the Troll The rats have scattered, but a pack of twig blights is coming in fast -- and the burning troll chasing them is close behind!
Icon Birdsong
Birdsong:
Pretty sure I remember saying we'd be better off not meeting that troll we heard earlier. I feel like whoever's in charge here needs to step up their game.
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
That would be the wizard, I think.
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Oh, really? Who was it who groveled us past the kobold queen and into these monster-infested halls in the first place?
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
Such leadership you have here! But Meepo interrupts to say he knows where we are. Goblin territory is here. Calcryx is near. Come!
41 Defeat 25 Monsters Entering goblin territory brings you face to face with an ambush squad. Hit them hard!
42 Defeat 25 Monsters The noise of this fight has every goblin within earshot coming at a run!
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
Ha! We've got these goblins on the run. Tempus!
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
For Lathander! For the light!
Icon Warden
Warden:
For nothingness and the void that each moment of battle fills!
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
So good when all the party members can share a little bit about themselves during the fight, don't you think?
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
All I can think about is how much I wish 'silence' was on my spell list...
Icon Portrait GoblinGuard
Goblin Guard:
Draw them in! Good! Now trigger the arrow trap!
Icon Korth
Korth:
It's a trap!
43 Collect 25 Arrows This arrow trap is going to tear through you unless you can stop it! Grab up spent arrows to plug the trap's firing holes!
44 Defeat 25 Monsters Goblin archers pick up the volley where the trap left off -- even as a squad of melee fighters presses in!
45 Defeat the Hobgoblin Leader A hobgoblin calls the shots for this goblin band. Take out the leader and the goblins might reconsider their bravery!
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
Goblins running! We've done it! Meepo, is this the place?
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
Yes! Heart of goblin lair is ahead! Calcryx is there! Feel the chill! My pet! My dragon!
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
Whoa, there! Slow down, short stuff! Oh, golly, he's gone.
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Well, so much for the element of surprise. Let's move!
46 Defeat 25 Monsters These goblins' frostiness extends to more than just their unwelcoming demeanor. The white dragon is near!
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Can anyone see that accursed kobold? I swear, if he gets that dragon back before we can negotiate for her hoard...
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
Calcryx! My pet! Aaaggghhh!!!
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
Yeah, he just sprinted into the next chamber. And that sounded like dragon breath to me...
Icon Zorbu
Zorbu:
Zounds! It just occurred to me. We all accepted that Meepo loved his dragon, but we never asked whether the feeling was mutual...
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
Aaaggghhh! Why does love sting like pain!?
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Thanks for that sharp investigative follow-up, Zorbu. But let's maybe table that discussion while we've got goblins to kill!
47 Defeat 25 Monsters Meepo is in trouble in the trophy room ahead -- but another wave of frosty goblins hits you hard!
48 Collect 25 Coin Pouches This frost rat pack guards the treasure the goblins must have collected. Time to lighten their swag load!
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
Right, we're in. Everybody keep an eye out for Meepo.
Icon Farideh
Farideh:
I can see him.
Icon Portrait WhiteDragonWyrmling
Calcryx:
Stand still, worm!
Icon Portrait Meepo
Meepo:
Don't eat me!
Icon Vlahnya
Vlahnya:
Well, at least he's still moving. So let's follow suit. Come on!
49 Defeat 25 Monsters Pushing into the trophy room reveals the white dragon that is your prize -- but even more frosty rats attack!
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
Ah, there she is... a white dragon... wyrmling?! What?! We risked our necks for a wyrmling? What kind of hoard is she going to have?
Icon Portrait WhiteDragonWyrmling
Calcryx:
My hoard is gold and frozen bones, human. And I'll take both from you!
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
I know these white dragons of old. There'll be no negotiating with this one now that the rage is in her. We need to take her down!
50 Defeat the White Dragon Wyrmling This white dragon wyrmling channels all the chaotic fury of her kind. Finish her before she finishes you!
Icon Ishi
Ishi:
Meepo! Is he all right?
Icon Evelyn
Evelyn:
He's a little frosty around the edges, but he'll be okay. He's had healing. Now let him rest a spell.
Icon Dhadius
Dhadius:
You call this a hoard? Between the goblins and the dragon, the amount of wealth that's here is barely worth dividing up.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi! That was quite tha fight. Well done, friends. That dragon's small 'nuff fer now, but she would o' made herself a menace to tha local settlements before long.
Icon Wulfgar
Wulfgar:
Well met, Bruenor. Our quest was successful, and then some. I hope the same is true for you.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Aye, them kobolds and them goblins is both dealt with, thanks to all o' ye. But we got some intelligence ta share -- and then we best all get ready for tha fight that's comin'.
