Holga Kilgore
[about Xenk]
I'm glad he's on our side.
A line from Holga Kilgore
So many of my kin gave their lives in battle here. I'd always imagined I'd be buried in sacred ground like this.

Don't tell me you've wasted it on me. Why would you do that?

Kira
Why can't I come?
Edgin
Sorry, Kira, this one's too dangerous.
Kira
Then--Then you shouldn't go. We have everything that we need.
Edgin
Not yet. But this is the last one. Trust me. [hugs Kira and walks off]
Holga
Chin up, bug. We'll be right back. [walks off]
Doric
What is it, exactly, that you bring to this?
Edgin
Me? I'm a planner. You know, I make plans.
Doric
You've already made the plan, so what value do you have now?
Edgin
If the plan fails, the existing plan, I make a new plan.
Doric
So you make plans that fail.
Edgin
No.
Holga
He also plays the lute.
Edgin
Holga, not relevant.
Holga
So she did become a deer.
Edgin
Only at the very end. [to Doric] Are you absolutely sure about Sofina?
Doric
I saw her markings.
Simon
No wonder I couldn't counter her Time Stop.
Edgin
Forge knew all along he's got my daughter in there with a Red Wizard.
Doric
The vault is protected by something called "Morty Caiman's Arcane Seal".
Simon
Mordenkainen?
Doric
Yeah, that's it.
Simon
[disbelief]
Oh, pity!
Edgin
What?
Simon
If the vault has Mordenkainen's Seal, we're not getting in. It's impenetrable.
Holga
Can't you just open it with magic?
Simon
Okay, here we go. I hate how everyone thinks that you can solve any problem with magic. There are limits. This isn't some bedtime story. This is the real world.
Doric
So there's no way to open it?
Simon
Well, I mean, if I was one of the world's most powerful sorcerers, so no. Or if we had the Helm of Disjunction.
Edgin
[gets the idea]
The what?
Simon
It's a helmet that disables all nearby enchantments. But it doesn't matter. That thing went missing ages ago. We're done. [gets up]
Edgin
[follows Simon]
Huh? C'mon! What's the problem? We can find the helmet.
Simon
Even if we could, I couldn't use it without attuning to it, which I'm terrible at.
Edgin
Oh, you can do it. I know you can.
Simon
You saying that doesn't make it so.
Edgin
Yeah, but you saying it does.
Simon
But I can't.
Edgin
Yes you can.
Simon
But I won't.
Edgin
Just say it.
Simon
No!
Edgin
Ugh, fine. Can we just keep this between us? I don't wanna hurt the group's morale. [walks to sit back down]
Simon
What morale? [sits back down as well]
Doric
Holga knows where the helmet is.
Edgin
[looks at Holga]
You do?
Holga
My tribe fought the Cult of the Dragon over it at the Evermoors. We can just ask them where it went.
Simon
That battle was a century ago. They're all dead.
Holga
So ask them with magic.
Doric
He just made a whole speech how he can't fix everything with magic.
Simon
[he admits it]
Actually, that is something I can do. [Holga chuckles in approval, as if to say "I told you so."]
Doric
[shocked]
You can bring back the dead?
Simon
I can't, uh, bring them back, but I have this token that lets me ask corpses some questions and then they go back to being dead.
Doric
Yuck.
Simon
Yeah, it's fairly horrible.
Edgin
It's fairly wonderful. We're off to the Evermoors. Thank you, Simon, for the drinks. [he and Holga get up]
Simon
Oh, what? No...
Holga
Just pay it with magic.
Edgin
[referring to Xenk]
Keep your guard up. I don't trust this guy.
Holga
Even though he's helping us?
Edgin
Ah, he's got something up his sleeve.
Xenk
The only thing up my sleeve is my arm.
Edgin
[whispering]
How could he hear that?
Xenk': I hear that as well.
Edgin
I hate you. [Xenk smirks]
Holga
How 'bout this: we use the Hither-Thither staff to get into the vault.
Simon
No, I've explained this. You can't Hither-Thither into a room you can't see.
Holga
I'm not saying that. I'm saying we put the portal on something and then sneak that thing into the vault.
Edgin
Mm, the only thing going in that vault is treasure.
Holga
So we put the portal on some treasure.
Edgin
Forge did say the richest men in Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep are bringing loot to the city. They'll be traveling the High Road. We could catch one of their convoys.
Doric
There'll be dozens of guards.
Edgin
Yeah, but the guards will guarding against people taking things out of their wagon, not putting them in! Holga, I could kiss you!
Holga
Try it.
Edgin
[hears the horn that signals the High Sun Games]
The Games have started. We're going to Plan C.
Simon
Oh, buttocks. What's Plan C?
Edgin
Plan C is we go back to Plan A. [turns and points to Simon] We're gonna attune to the helmet.
Holga
Why don't you just call it Plan A?
Edgin
Plan A has a stink on it.
Simon
[losing his temper]
You know darn well I can't attune to the thing.
Edgin
That's not true! You couldn't attune to it. Look at me. Look at me! Huh? Do you remember that job in Loudwater? You couldn't spider-climb until Jolym sicked his dog on you. And when we robbed the spear of Aoth Fezim, your Stone Skin spell failed until the arrows were inches away. Even in Triboar, you flipped the gravity of the whole theater!
Doric
[amazed]
You did?
Simon
[embarrassed]
By accident. It was wild magic and that only happened because they were gonna kill me.
Edgin
Exactly! Look, you are at your strongest when you think you're at your weakest. But you deliver. [pats Simon on the cheek] You're gonna get into that vault, okay? Not because you can, but because you must.
Doric
I'm gonna keep chipping away. If I can get a quarter inch, I'll be able to squeeze through as a worm.
Edgin
As a worm! A-as a worm! Perfect! Do you see this? Now we have a Plan D if Plan C fails.
Holga
Isn't Plan D just Plan B again?
Edgin
Plan B has a stink too.
Simon
It all stinks.
Kira
A-a trip?
Forge
Yes. Something urgent has come up, but if we leave now, we'll be safe.
Kira
Safe from what?
Forge
[looks at unconscious guards]
What is this?
Edgin
This is an ambush. On the boat you were gonna use to escape from Neverwinter.
Kira
Dad...?
Edgin
Hi, honey. [holds the Tablet of Reawakening] Hey, Forge, why don't you tell her what this is?
Forge
[shrugs]
I don't know.
Edgin
It's the Tablet of Reawakening, Kira. It's the reason why I left you.
Holga
Your dad's been telling you the truth, bug. It's Uncle Forge who's been feeding you lies.
Forge
[laughs nervously]
It's rubbish. It's just rubbish.
Edgin
Come with me, Kira. We'll go home, bring back Mom. We can be a family again.
Forge
[as Kira was about to board the boat, Forge grabs her by the shoulder]
You're not taking my money. [pulls out a knife and points at Kira] Put down the tablet and get off my ship. All of you. Now!
Edgin
Okay, okay, okay.
Kira
[panicked]
What are you doing?!
Forge
It's alright. Shush, my darling, be quiet.
Edgin
It's going down. [puts the tablet down] Just don't hurt her.
Forge
See that, Kira? [referring to Edgin] Your father knows me. He knows I'm prepared to do terrible things to get what I want, even to those I care about most. [Holga spots a potato] In the end, that's all that separates the beggar...
Holga
[scene cuts to slow-motion, Holga throws the potato to Forge's face, causing him to let Kira go]
Nobody hurts my bug.
