Icon A Mysterious Summons A Mysterious Summons
Patrol the streets of Waterdeep at the request of an old friend.
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Remind me again why we're interrupting a night out to drag ourselves to Blackstaff Tower?
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
Because when Vajra Safahr sends a summons, you freaking follow it, elf. The Blackstaff doesn't mess around.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yes, but strictly speaking, the summons was for members of Force Grey, which is you. I don't recall ever wanting to become part of that particular club.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Then just call it a favor for a friend of a friend, Jarlaxle. Vajra's an important force in the city. If she needs aid, it would be remiss of us to not offer our assistance.
1 Defeat 25 Monsters Wild dogs! Giant rats! Welcome to Waterdeep!
2 Defeat 25 Monsters Not all the rats of the city go on four legs. Show these thieves that crime doesn't pay.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Never seen a city in all me life in more dire need o' some urban renewal.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
These thieves are the lowest of the low. Preying on the downtrodden and destitute.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well, it's a good job the City Watch is here to deal with them. Leaving us free to go our own way, yes?
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Scum like this know the Watch can't be everywhere at once. We can teach them this lesson ourselves.
3 Defeat 25 Monsters The thieves scatter before you. But for every one you send packing, another steps in to take their place!
4 Collect 25 Stolen Goods These scoundrels are fighting hard to protect their loot. Maybe lightening the load of their ill-gotten gains will convince them to break.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
All right, there's the boss. Time to negotiate a truce, yes? We go our way, they go theirs?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi. Best ye turn them elf eyes o' yers on. Is that yer hat that boss is wearin'?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Nonsense. My hat's right... Wait...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
It looks better on him, if we're being honest...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No time for honesty. Thieves to kill.
5 Defeat the Shifty Bandit Thief A shifty-looking bandit is the boss of these street thieves. Make an example of him!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
All this fightin' makes a body hungry. Good time to grab a snack. Ah, Empress Pepperoni. Best in tha city.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
And awfully pungent. My word.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I can't believe you're eating Waterdeep street food. You have no idea who it's been.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Don't you mean 'where it's been'?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Pretty sure I know what I meant. Wait... what's that sound...?
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
Freaking seagulls are flying in that open window! Bruenor, your stinking pepperoni has them swarming!
6 Defeat 25 Monsters These gulls will make a mighty mess of Blackstaff Tower. Clear them out!
Dragonheist Portrait VajraSafahr
Vajra:
Calliope, thank you for coming, and thanks to your friends... Excuse me, but is that birds I hear outside?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Seems unlikely ta me. Best we focus on yer quest, me Lady Blackstaff.
Dragonheist Portrait VajraSafahr
Vajra:
Yes... Well, my need is for a stout band to patrol the Dock Ward this evening. Keep a lookout for suspicious activity, and report what you find to me.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Aye, and sounds easy 'nuff. But any things in particular ye want us watchin' fer?
Dragonheist Portrait VajraSafahr
Vajra:
Just... suspicious activity. You'll know it when you see it, I think.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
It shall be done. Thank you, my lady. Let's go, troop.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Wait, what? This is what we've been dragged out for? Night duty in the Dock Ward?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Hush, Jarlaxle. A friend of a friend.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
More and more, I'm of the opinion that this whole 'friends' concept needs some serious rethinking.
7 Collect 25 Gnawed Bones Getting to the Dock Ward is its own challenge. Gather up the old bones these wild dogs gnaw on to clear them out.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
There, in the shadows. Some of those rats are standing a little taller than I like.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Wererats! That's tha ticket fer a night ta' remember.
8 Defeat 25 Monsters The giant rats you've fought are suddenly seen as part of a bigger -- and much more sinister -- picture.
9 Defeat 25 Monsters The wererats fight with endless ferocity. Show them you won't back down.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
At last, they're falling back.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Not far, though. Their leader has finally put in an appearance.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Good. No more rats fer it ta hide behind means this is tha last o' them. Leave that mangy maniac ta me...
10 Defeat the Wererat Leader The leader of the wererats gathers the lycanthropes to its side. Make their last stand a short one!
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
The Dock Ward. Look sharp, folks. And remember the Blackstaff's orders.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That would be easier if she'd actually given us orders. We should keep track of anyone we see not looking suspicious down here. It'll be a shorter list.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Settle yerself, elf. It'll be an easy night's work. Here, have yerself a bite.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Gah! Not that blasted pepperoni again!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The seagulls are back! Look out!
11 Defeat 25 Monsters The fauna of the Dock Ward refuse to leave you alone. Time to show them you mean business!
12 Defeat 25 Monsters A good number of sailors are hitting shore leave a bit too hard. Calm this crowd down!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Drinkin' and fightin' on tha docks don't seem like what tha Blackstaff wanted us ta look out fer. Not real suspicious, if ye know what I mean.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
It might not be suspicious, but it's getting dangerous. This unsavory behavior is ready to explode!
13 Defeat 25 Monsters It's an all-out brawl! Time to teach these motley crews some respect for the law.
14 Defeat 1 Smashed Pile of Goods These lawbreakers can't hide from you behind old crates. Take down that barrier!
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
There! That drunken lout will be the leader of this mob. I know her type.
Dragonheist Portrait DrunkenSailor
Drunken Sailor:
Here, now! You will row shespect... show fespect roar... show respect for the wailors of Dock Sord... the dailors of Sock Drawer...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Pretty sure we ain't got time ta get ta tha end o' this speech. Oi, Captain Cockeyed! Time ye set sail fer a cold shower and forty winks.
15 Defeat the Drunken Sailor The leader of this mob has the bravery of the bottle in her. Teach this drunken lout some manners.
16 Defeat 25 Monsters A few straggling sailors didn't get the message you delivered on the docks. Smack them down.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Finally, a few moments to rest... Aargh! What is that infernal stench?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Look here, now. A dwarf's gotta eat...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Not these gulls again! Will you get rid of that pepperoni, dwarf!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi! I be eatin' as fast as I can!
17 Defeat 25 Monsters The scavengers of the Dock Ward are still riled up. Fight your way past to see what's got them agitated.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Ah, this night just gets more repetitive. Sailors ahead... No, wait...
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
Don't keep it to yourself, drow. What do you see?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
A familiar swagger. Those sailors have a force of Zhentarim mercenaries backing them. And this fight just got interesting.
18 Collect 25 Zhentarim Missives The presence of the Zhentarim along the docks is an unwelcome surprise. Find out what these Black Network spies are up to.
19 Defeat 25 Monsters The Zhentarim are using the sailors of the docks as shields. Break up this mob!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That one at tha back. That's tha leader, or I'll be shaved.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No one of rank, by his look. Just a troublemaker. But where he runs, the others will follow.
20 Defeat the Zhentarim Troublemaker Deal with the troublemaker behind these Zhentarim to send his lackeys a message.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
Dark on the Dock Ward. Now the real troublemakers start showing up.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
As opposed to all the mock troublemakers we've been beating down so far?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Look sharp. More sailors lookin' fer trouble.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
And a wearingly familiar swarm of seagulls with them...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi, ye blasted birds! I just had one bite!
21 Defeat 25 Monsters A brawl you weren't looking for erupts around you. What's put these sailors in a fighting mood?
22 Collect 25 Seagull Feathers As the sailors break, rats replace them and more seagulls swarm. Clip these birds' wings!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
More trouble. Wait... what's this?
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
Drow, I'm getting really tired of the dramatic long-range darkvision pauses all the time. Just tell us what you freaking see!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
More sailors, but backed by thugs from the Xanathar Guild. Your Blackstaff's mission is getting more suspicious all the time...
23 Defeat 25 Monsters Another unexpected foe! What business brings these fighters from the Xanathar Guild to the docks this night?
24 Defeat 25 Monsters Backed up by loyal sailors, the Xanathar fighters try to hem you in!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I'm losin' count o' tha number o' these blighters we put down.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I think the end is in sight. That troublemaker there seems to be calling the shots.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well, let's see if he's as good at callin' tha end o' this scrap as he was tha start.
25 Defeat the Xanathar Troublemaker The arrogant troublemaker leading the Xanathar thugs makes a last stand. Show these guild toughs who's in charge!
26 Defeat 25 Monsters Giant rats swarm the alley -- but what are they fleeing from?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well, well... Look at that.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
Okay, I will seriously remove your eyes and wear them myself. Is it the Xanathar Guild? The Zhentarim?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Right on both counts...
27 Defeat 25 Monsters Xanathar Guild fighters and Zhentarim spies are in a knockdown fight to the finish. Hasten that finish for both sides!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I been tryin' ta get info out o' some o' these rotters, but they ain't talkin'.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
You think the fact that you're leaving them unconscious has something to do with that?
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
We might not need them to talk. Look, this one's got some sort of coded message. Let's see what the others are carrying.
28 Collect 25 Xanathar Ciphers The ciphers the Xanathar Guild fighters carry might hold a clue to their actions.
29 Defeat 25 Monsters Zhentarim and Xanathar Guild forces continue to flood the street. The Dock Ward is in the midst of a full-blown gang war!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The last of them are ready to scatter. Hopefully the Watch and the Guard have been alerted. They can help mop up this mob.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
I can see guards coming. Well, one guard.
Wintershield Portaits OverambitiousCityGuard
Overambitious City Guard:
Stand down, you scoundrels! The law of Waterdeep has you in its sights!
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
Not sure why he's running straight at us, though...
30 Defeat the Overambitious City Guard Finally, the tide of the battle turns -- except now the enemies on all sides have a common foe in you!
Wintershield Portaits OverambitiousCityGuard
Overambitious City Guard:
I say stand down, scoundrels!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
This cannot be happening again...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi! Tha time ye made us waste dealin' with ye, tha criminals has got away!
Wintershield Portaits OverambitiousCityGuard
Overambitious City Guard:
You waste your breath with denials, ruffians. I saw you in the heart of that fray!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Because we were fighting...! We're on your side...! There's no...!
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
Look, as much as I know this conversation means to you, we need to make up time. There's a Zhentarim warehouse close by. Let's go!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Dear gods, not again...
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
What? Is it an attack?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Only on our sanity. Bruenor, would you burn the last of that pepperoni before it's too late?!?
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
It's too late...
31 Defeat 25 Monsters Only gulls and rats patrol the dark streets now -- but they're still more than happy to get in your way.
32 Defeat 25 Monsters The Zhentarim warehouse is under heavy guard. Time for some heavy guard lifting.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
Check out this equipment. This is a high-end counterfeiting operation. Breaking this up will be a good night's work.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Them Zhents has regrouped! No time fer talkin'.
33 Collect 25 Counterfeit Coins Breaking up the Black Network's counterfeiting operation will set their ambitions back.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Jarlaxle, your pockets are suspiciously full. What are you doing?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Me? Nothing. Gathering evidence, I mean. For the City Watch. Just doing my bit. You know.
34 Defeat 25 Monsters The Black Network is best known for its mercenary services -- and these Zhent thugs are happy to show off their combat skill.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. Always saddens me heart to see a fellow dwarf on tha wrong side o' tha law.
Dragonheist Portrait IstridHorn
Istrid Horn:
Oddly enough, I could say the same. Under normal circumstances, I might offer you a rich bounty to switch sides. But I suspect you're all do-gooder types. You have that smug sense of superiority.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
So how much rich bounty are we talking about, exactly...?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
'Nuff o' this guff. Don't know yer clan, dwarf, but I'm sure they'll be pleased ta hear ye've given up this life o' crime fer honest prison labor.
Dragonheist Portrait IstridHorn
Istrid Horn:
Unfortunately, I have previous engagements. But I'm sure I can fit your funeral into my schedule.
35 Defeat the Dwarf Moneylender The dwarf moneylender who runs this warehouse hides behind her Zhent guards. Time to convince them to take up another line of work.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
That's the last of the Zhents. But where's the dwarf master?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Gone. I saw her slip out the back in the last moments of the fight.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
We'll never find a single freaking dwarf in the city this time of night. With the Zhents broken, I say we go after the Xanathar Guild. Whatever their business with the Black Network, I'm sure we can convince them to spill it.
36 Defeat 25 Monsters The ciphers carried by the Xanathar Guild direct you toward the city sewers -- and it's the usual rat race to get there.
37 Defeat 25 Monsters With the streets and alleys deserted, rats and wild dogs have free run of the Dock Ward this night.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Ah, lovely. And this night was going so well up to now.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
It's just a sewer, drow. You get a good rainstorm washing it out, it's the cleanest place in Waterdeep.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Is there any chance we can wait for the weather to turn, then?
38 Defeat 25 Monsters The sewers of Waterdeep are as much a marvel as any other part of the city -- and just as treacherous.
39 Collect 25 Crocodile Eggs Clearing these sewer tunnels of crocodiles is only a short-term solution. Breaking up the caches of eggs you find will keep their population in check.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Xanathar Guild thugs! We come ta tha right place.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
We'll be in trouble if they raise an alarm. Take this group out, and quickly!
40 Defeat the Dwarf Thief The Xanathar Guild's sewer hideout is guarded by a well-trained force, led by a dwarf thief who has no intention of letting you pass.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
So much fer makin' a quiet entrance. Looks like tha whole o' tha guild's come out to greet us.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Worse, those archers are pinning us down.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. They can try, but they ain't gonna keep this dwarf down fer long.
41 Defeat 25 Monsters Pushing further into the hideout reveals even more Xanathar Guild guards -- and raises the question of what they're protecting?
42 Defeat 25 Monsters While ranged attacks hem you in, close-quarter fighters press the attack!
43 Defeat 1 Barricade The last of the archers falls, but the barricade that protected them still stands. Tear it down!
44 Defeat 25 Monsters A most fearsome foe fights alongside the Xanathar Guild guards. Take out these intellect devourers before it's too late!
Dragonheist Portrait Nihiloor
Nihiloor:
Look at you there...
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
That voice... in my head. Do the rest of you hear it?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Aye. And I wish I dinna.
Dragonheist Portrait Nihiloor
Nihiloor:
Rats from the sewers, I think. Seeking your betters. And now that you have found them, what will you do?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That's a mind flayer, that is. Ain't been anxious ta hear one o' them foul voices in me head again. Stay sharp...
45 Defeat the Mind Flayer What business does a mind flayer have with the Xanathar Guild? Only one way to find out!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The last of them are breaking. Get to the mind flayer!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Too late! It's gone. That's some sort of teleportation device.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
And it needs a magical key to operate. That's another foe we won't find this night.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
So we're done, then?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
No, we ain't. If there be no answers comin' from tha Xanathar Guild or tha Zhents, we've got one other person we can talk ta.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Vajra Safahr.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
Huh? What are you talking about?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
He's talkin' tha truth, and tha elf and I be thinkin' alike there. That wizard knew somethin' big was up in tha city, and she sent us out without barely a warnin'. Time ta find out what's goin' on.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Oh, gods, no. Not more seagulls...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Nay! Get away, ye scurvy birds! I've had me mettle and me patience tested this night. But I swear, ye'll get me breakfast pepperoni over me cold dwarf corpse!
46 Defeat 25 Monsters Waterdeep's streets are eerily empty in the deep night. Well, empty of people at any rate.
47 Defeat 25 Monsters Wild dogs try to test you, sensing your weariness. Show them you've still got more fight in you than they can handle.
48 Collect 25 Stolen Coin Purses Thieves gather by night to count up the spoils of their daytime crimes. Seize those spoils for the City Watch.
49 Defeat 25 Monsters Another mob of thieves thinks they can claim the loot you took from their fellows. Time to clear these streets for good.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
Look, just for the record and one last time, I'm opposed to this idea. It's the middle of the freaking night. We're all exhausted. We can talk to Vajra at first light.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
These dwarf eyes see just fine by night, bard. We be gettin' our answers now.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks all quiet in tha tower.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Except for that cloud of seagulls battering at the windows.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
They'll keep their distance. Wait... I hear someone comin'.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
We've freaking woken Vajra up. Bruenor, your footsteps could stir the sotting dead.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
It's not the Blackstaff. It's a half-orc. And he looks like he's got hunting on his mind.
Dragonheist Portrait Niraj
Ziraj:
Huh. Here's a surprise. You're an odd group to be out at this hour.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We could say tha same, friend. What's yer business here?
Dragonheist Portrait Niraj
Ziraj:
My only business is death. And you're no friends of mine.
50 Defeat the Zhentarim Assassin Your desire to see Vajra might just have saved the Blackstaff's life. Show this assassin the fatal mistake he's made in coming here!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Gah! Where's that blasted half-orc gone?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
He slipped away in that last swarm of seagulls. This is getting to be an annoying trend.
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
We got to him before he got to Vajra. That's all that matters. Bruenor, everyone, let's go. You were right. It's time for answers.
