Transcript

A Brief Tour of the Realms
Take a journey down the Sword Coast.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Bruenor:	"Me ol' friend Drizzt needs aid in Waterdeep. I'll be venturin' west to the coast town of Luskan and then I be headin' south through Neverwinter City o' Splendors."
1	Defeat 15 Gnolls		You're only a few hours past the dwarven mining stronghold of Mirabar when suddenly gnolls attack you.
2	Defeat 15 Gnolls		Gnolls aren't uncommon on the Blackford road, but these seem especially cruel.
3	Defeat 15 Gnolls		You've traced the gnolls back to their camp, near some crumbling stone ruins.
Celeste:	"Bruenor, these ruins could be an excellent source of rare or magical equipment for an adventuring party like ours."
Bruenor:	"Harumph. Ye can keep lookout for anythin' that looks valuable, then, but try not to make a mess o' the place."
4	Collect 15 Dwarven Relics		The ruins seem to be in the style of shield dwarves, perhaps a small farmstead or outpost; search for dwarven relics.
5	Defeat the Gnoll Leader		If you take out of the Gnoll Leader and the others will scatter. They're not so brave without their leader.
Traveller:	"Well met, adventurer. My name is Manfred Wagonweaver. Our caravan is heading to Luskan as well. Could you help us collect some rabbit for dinner? We have ale and cheese to share."
Bruenor:	"Hrm. We could use some supper ourselves, so I dinnae see why not."
6	Collect 10 Rabbit Carcasses		You've not gone much farther when you come across some hungry travellers on their way to Luskan.
7	Defeat 25 Bandits		Upon returning to the traveller's camp, you find them under attack by bandits!
Manfred:	"Help! They've taken my family!"
8	Collect 10 Travellers		The bandits appear to be trying to kidnap some of the traveler folk. Rescue the villagers!
9	Defeat 25 Bandits		They took some of those innocent traveller folk into the woods. Chase 'em down.
10	Defeat the Bandit Captain		Find the industrious leader of this band and take him out.
Bruenor:	"Bandit scum. Let's get back to the road before it gets too dark ta see anythin'."
11	Defeat 25 Wolves		You've taken out the bandits, but seem to have gotten turned around and it's starting to get dark.
Celeste:	"This clearing looks familiar, Bruenor."
Bruenor:	"Ye're right. We definitely be goin' in circles. Let's set up camp fer the evening."
12	Defeat 25 Enemies		The Neverwinter Wood is not a good place to have gotten lost. Creatures attack your camp in the night. Defend yourself!
13	Collect 25 Berries		After a fitful night with little sleep, it's morning and you're tired and hungry. Scrounge for food.
Celeste:	"Something's not right here..."
14	Defeat 25 Enemies		The trees themselves in this area seem angry at you.
Dryad:	"Interlopers! You and your people destroy our homes with your incessant adventuring!"
15	Defeat the Dryad and her friends		You've stumbled into a dryad's grove, and she doesn't seem too happy that you've been slaughtering her forest friends.
Jarlaxle:	"This rain isn't making things any more pleasant, Bruenor."
Bruenor:	"Suck it up, elf."
16	Defeat 25 Wolves		Finally, we're out of the woods. But we're not out of the woods yet.
Bruenor:	"Augh! Moradin help us. This be the southern edge o' the Neverwinter wood. We've gotten ourselves completely turned around."
Nayeli:	"Look there. Is that a farm?"
Bruenor:	"Perhaps the farmer can point us in the direction of the coast road."
17	Collect 25 Wildflowers		The southern edge of Neverwinter Wood is sparsely populated and just as dangerous as the wood itself.
18	Collect 25 Milk Buckets		It seems a little quiet... and these cows seem a little frothy.
19	Defeat 25 Cursed Cows		Perhaps the farmer is in a nearby village for the day?
Cursed Farmer:	"Fxxopt kkz tptppth!"
Jarlaxle:	"You'll have to excuse me, I don't speak crazy."
20	Defeat the Cursed Farmer		The farmer is wearing a cursed medallion. Put him out of his misery.
Bruenor:	"Praise Moradin. I recognize this roadway. This be the Triboar Trail. If we follow it west, we should be reachin' the coast in a couple of days."
21	Defeat 25 Enemies		The Triboar Trail connects the inland village of Triboar to the High Road on the coast. It's less travelled, and prone to banditry.
22	Defeat 25 Imps		A crumbling tower near the trail seems to be home to an inordinate number of Imps.
23	Destroy the Strange Orb		There's a strange artifact in the center of the tower spawning the imps. Better smash it to be safe.
Nayeli:	"Bruenor! Look out the window! There's smoke to the west."
Bruenor:	"Other travellers? Perhaps they've encountered similar madness on the road."
24	Defeat 25 Enemies		As you hurry down the trail, the smell of smoke becomes more apparent, and the air becomes hazy.
Bruenor:	"An Inn! It's on fire, but not through any natural means, if ya catch me drift."
Celeste:	"Everyone be careful! Burns are a pain to heal."
25	Defeat the Fire Elemental		Defeat the elementals so that the fire can be quenched.
Rowdy Patron:	"Hey, thanks a lot, buddy. Some crazy wizard just set that thing loose and then took off to the loo."
Bruenor:	"No problem, my friend. Can ye point me and me friends in the direction of the owner?"
26	Collect 15 Poor Directions		Apparently a drunk wizard accidentally summoned the fire elementals. Luckily the damage was contained.
27	Defeat 25 Drunk Patrons		As one of the few stops on the Triboar Trail, this inn has attracted a number of rowdy drinkers.
Innkeeper:	"Well met, and thank you for your assistance with the fire, friends. My name is Boderik Hearthtender, but my friends call me Erik. If it's not too much trouble, there seem to be an unusual number of spiders and rats in my cellar, and I can't reach the beer casks anymore."
28	Defeat 25 Enemies		The basement, like many others in the land, is clearly infested by giant rats.
29	Collect 15 Steins of Beer		Gather a few steins. You're going to want a drink after this.
Drunk Wizard:	"Hey! Which one of you killed my pet elemental? Do you know how long it took to summon that thing?"
Boderik:	"It lit my inn on fire!"
Drunk Wizard:	"Hey! Shuddup, or I'll light YOU on fire!"
30	Defeat the Drunken Wizard		As you head back upstairs, you hear shouting. It's the drunk wizard that set the inn on fire. She's back.
31	Defeat 25 Drunk Patrons		The wizard's friends aren't too happy that you defeated her. You'd think they'd appreciate it.
Bandit Leader:	"Hey, what's going on here? You guys were supposed to be robbing supplies from this place, not getting drunk!"
Rowdy Patron:	"Hey sorry boss. These guys showed up and took out Tally's elemental."
Bandit Leader:	"Well why haven't you dealt with them yet?"
32	Collect 20 Bandit Masks		Turns out they're a bunch of bandits just taking a break from banditry.
Boderik:	"Hey, all of you! Hasn't my inn been through enough? Can't you take this outside?"
33	Collect 10 Travel Steins		The innkeeper would like you to take the fight outside
34	Defeat 25 Bandits		More bandits have arrived back from their banditry.
Bandit Leader:	"Alright, ogre, time to prove your worth! Get them!"
Ogre:	"Me crush adventurers? Okay!"
35	Defeat the Chained-Up Ogre		It looks like the bandits have captured a hulking ogre and released it upon you. This isn't going to be easy.
Bruenor:	"Pshaw! I think that's the last we'll see of them."
Boderik:	"Thank you for clearing them out. They never paid their tabs. Please, stay here for free as long as you'd like. I'm sure others in the area could make use of your... skills."
Bruenor:	"A generous offer, friend. And one me and me friends will take ya up on."
Next: The Cursed Farmer
