'''Souvenir:''' Indigo's hair
You took this trophy after defeating [[Indigo]] in an adventure you like to think of as:
'''Crossfire'''
It began with a battle between [[Captain Mako]] and [[Black Scorpion]].  Both had sent their men to confiscate a shipment of arms bound for [[Nerva Archipelago]].  A polite interrogation of the combatants revealed that each man believed the other planned to use the weapons against him.
Leery was determined to bring the conflict to a swift resolution.  He ordered you to capture Mako and Black Scorpion's assistants, and to bring them to his bargaining table.  Having official license to take down highly ranked operatives was a treat, and you defeated Operative Unger and the Tarantula Wren with ease.
Leery interrogated the captured operatives, and found that each had been lulled into suspicion of the information Unger and Wren provided, Leery tracked this individual and sent you to dispose of her.  Indigo fought well, but ultimately was no match for your powers.  The war between Black Scorpion and Captain Mako has been quelled, for now, and your stock in [[Arachnos]] is only rising.  It can't be long before [[Lord Recluse|Recluse]] himself is forced to sit up and take notice of you.
==== {{UL|Stop the fighting}} ====

I've got a tense situation brewing, {{Character}}.  I've just been alerted to a battle going on between [[Captain Mako|Captain Mako's]] men and those of [[Black Scorpion]].  I don't know what they're fighting over, but I know it's going to stop.  Now.

[[Captain Mako]] and [[Black Scorpion]] have been set against one another.  I don't know by whom, but I do know we have to stop the fighting.  So you're going to capture the servants of both Mako and Black Scorpion.  Get them to my bargaining table, and I'll take care of the rest.
'''Mission acceptance'''
Mako has charged his lieutenant, Operative Unger, with carrying out this war against Black Scorpion.  You'll find Unger in Sharkhead, most likely.

'''Debriefing'''
I'll sit down with these two ladies and have a pleasant little chat.  No doubt I can uncover the reason for their masters' strife.
==== {{UL|Unmask the deceiver}} ====
'''Briefing'''
After much lengthy talk, I have managed to get the truth from Wren and Operative Unger.  It seems a certain someone contacted both of them, claiming to be a defector from the opposite camp.  This person sold Wren on the idea that [[Captain Mako|Mako]] planned to murder [[Black Scorpion]], and also convinced Unger that Black Scorpion had it in for Captain Mako.  If we can unmask this person, we can end this conflict.  {{Character}}, I must warn you: all the indications point to this individual being quite formidable.  If I were you, I wouldn't go in alone.  And on top of that, we'll be on a time table here.  You'll only have 75 minutes to complete this task, so I suggest finding allies before you begin the operation.
'''Mission acceptance'''
[[File:Indigo_hero.jpg|thumb|200px|{{Center|Here comes Indigo, "tee-hee!"}}]]
Based on the information Wren and Unger gave me, I've tracked the individual in question to a cavern network on Primeva.  And {{Character}}, I must stress again: all the indications point to this individual being quite formidable.
'''Unnecessary solicitation'''
I want the person who's setting Black Scorpion and Mako against one another caught.  Immediately.

Well done, {{Character}}.  I will spread word of [[Indigo|Indigo's]] defeat to Black Scorpion and Captain Mako.  This should quell their fury, for now at least.  But you should know: peace never lasts long within Arachnos. Mako is a vicious killer, and Black Scorpion is a paranoid psychopath.  It won't take much to drive them into conflict again.
 
=== No One Gets It ===
{{ArcAward|m=4}}
'''Souvenir:''' Tears of the Spirit
 
This glass flask only contains a few drops of liquid, but if rumors are to be believed, those drops are most powerful.  In addition, they're a potent reminder of the adventure you like to call:
 
'''No One Gets It'''
 
It began when Arbiter Leery informed you of a squabble between [[Ghost Widow]] and [[Scirocco]].  They were battling over an artifact known as the Tears of the Spirit.  First, Leery sent you to abduct a [[Longbow]] operative who knew the story behind the tears.  When you captured Agent Arthur Castle, he admitted the Tears were an item of awesome power.  With the proper incantations, they would allow the desires of any person who drinks them to become real.
 
It was clear that the Tears had to be taken away from the squabbling [[Arachnos]] officers.  Arbiter Leery sent you to confiscate them from their current holder, Scirocco.  However, when you got there,  you found [[Mu Mystics|Scirocco's troops]] embroiled in battle with Ghost Widow's [[Fortunatas]].  The Tears had already been taken.
 
Furious, Arbiter Leery declared that the Tears must be destroyed.  He sent you to perform this act, but you tricked him.  The Tears of the Spirit remain in your possession.  Should you ever discover the proper incantations, your power will know no bounds.
 
 
==== {{UL|Learn more about the Tears of the Spirit}} ====
 
'''Briefing'''
 
You've been around the [[Rogue Isles]] for a while now, {{Character}}, and I'm sure you've seen that even the most deadly villains can be like little children at times.  At the present moment, two of my charges are squabbling over a toy.  The Tears of the Spirit, to be exact.  It's a flask of mystical liquid that's rumored to be older than Christianity.  At the moment we don't know much about it, only that [[Ghost Widow]] and [[Scirocco]] both seem to be willing to squander their troops in a needless battle over it.  You know what happens when kids can't share a toy, right?  Nobody gets it.  But before I send you to confiscate the Tears, we need to know more.
 
'''Mission acceptance'''
 
I need you to find a certain [[Longbow]] agent.  Arthur Castle.  According to rumor, he was present in Morocco where the Tears were unearthed six years ago.  He's been trying to keep them out of Arachnos hands, so I suspect he knows a little bit about their mystical properties.
 
'''Unnecessary solicitation'''
 
I want to know everything Arthur Castle can tell us about the Tears of the Spirit.
 
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=Arthur Castle is the commander in charge of this Longbow vesel.|Primary=Capture Castle & his guards|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=You captured Arthur Castle!}}
 
'''Enemies'''
 
{{Enemy Longbow}}
 
'''Notable NPCs'''
 
* Agent Arthur Castle ([[Longbow#Longbow Warden .289.29|Longbow Warden]]) (Boss)
 
''Arthur Castle gasped, 'You have to understand!  The Tears must be protected!'''
{{Mission Clue|Name=Arthur Castle's story|Text=When you captured Arthur Castle, he said:
 
'You don't understand!  The Tears of the Spirit are too powerful to remain in Arachnos hands!  Shed by an unnamed goddess in ancient times, the Tears have the power to make real the desires of any person who drinks them and speaks the proper incantations.  Even in the hands of the world's greatest heroes, the Tears would be dangerous.  Please!  You must not let Arachnos keep them!'}}
 
{{NPC Text|title=Agent Arthur Castle dialogue|text=
'''Before combat:''' ''"I'm telling you, we have to strike now! Before Scirocco uncovers the Tears' power!"''<br />
'''Combat start:'''  ''"We've been discovered.  Arachnos is after us!"''}}
 
'''Debriefing'''
 
Arthur Castle is certainly well-informed about the Tears of the Spirit, as well as other matters of interest to Arachnos.  Now we know something about the Tears' powers, and we can proceed with proper caution.

I've got a tense situation brewing *villain name*.  I've just been alerted to a battle going on between [[Captain Mako|Captain Mako's]] men and those of [[Black Scorpion]].  I don't know what they're fighting over, but I know it's going to stop.  Now.
It has become clear that the Tears of the Spirit cannot be allowed to remain in [[Scirocco]]'s hands.  Nor can they go to [[Ghost Widow]].  You, {{Character}}, are the duly appointed [[Arachnos]] representative in charge of retrieving the Tears from Scirocco.  Do so without delay. 
 
I hear the Tears are guarded by Scirocco's most trusted servent, [[Ice Mistral]].  I recommend that you take a full team with you; if Ice Mistral opposes you, she will not be easily dealt with.
 
'''Mission acceptance'''
 
Don't be tempted to drink the tears, {{Character}}.  Without the proper incantations, they would surely kill you.

Information

Arachnos Arbiter

In an organization with as many unique individuals as Arachnos, conflicts are bound to arise. Arbiter Leery is one of those people empowered to deal with these conflicts. Leery spends most of his time collecting information about disputes, weighing the evidence, and making decisions about how to resolve them. Once he's made his decision, all Arachnos operatives are duty bound to comply with it. Of course, that doesn't mean they always will.

Prior to Unlocking

Thorn Robber/Thief Badge not obtained

As an arbiter, I handle the disputes between Arachnos faction leaders. I only work with those individuals who have proven they are the best. You have not done so. Seek out the demons who walk this isle, Sparcetriel and Trepsarciel. They can show you the way to greatness.

Not High Enough Level

Yes, I have jobs for you. But I'd like to see you get to Threat Level 35 first.

Initial Contact

I have heard a lot about you. Many of the things you've done have met with disapproval from Lord Recluse himself. Nevertheless, you've shown you're a person with real power. If you obey my directives, it will go a long way toward restoring you to Arachnos' good graces. Does that sound appealing?

Greeting

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 4 Reward Merits.

Souvenir: Indigo's hair

You took this trophy after defeating Indigo in an adventure you like to think of as:

Crossfire

It began with a battle between Captain Mako and Black Scorpion. Both had sent their men to confiscate a shipment of arms bound for Nerva Archipelago. A polite interrogation of the combatants revealed that each man believed the other planned to use the weapons against him.

Leery was determined to bring the conflict to a swift resolution. He ordered you to capture Mako and Black Scorpion's assistants, and to bring them to his bargaining table. Having official license to take down highly ranked operatives was a treat, and you defeated Operative Unger and the Tarantula Wren with ease.

Leery interrogated the captured operatives, and found that each had been lulled into suspicion of the information Unger and Wren provided, Leery tracked this individual and sent you to dispose of her. Indigo fought well, but ultimately was no match for your powers. The war between Black Scorpion and Captain Mako has been quelled, for now, and your stock in Arachnos is only rising. It can't be long before Recluse himself is forced to sit up and take notice of you.


Stop the fighting

Briefing

I've got a tense situation brewing, Character. I've just been alerted to a battle going on between Captain Mako's men and those of Black Scorpion. I don't know what they're fighting over, but I know it's going to stop. Now.

Clue
Captain Mako's orders

These orders, issued by Captain Mako, read:

'The cowardly Scorpion wants to destroy anyone who matches his own strength. But I won't give him the chance. Take hold of the weapons he planned to use against us. And make sure his men get shredded.'

Clue
Black Scorpion's orders

These orders, issued by Black Scorpion, read:

'As I always feared, the shark has set his sights on me. Do not allow him to get the weapons! I will not be taken down by a half-man such as he!'

Ambush! Defeating groups which have random chatter or spawn clues will trigger two waves of ambushes at the same time, one group consisting of Crab Spiders and the other being Tarantulas.
Random Crab Spider: Shred those fools!"
Random Tarantula: "Crush the animals!"

Debriefing

So, Black Scorpion and Mako each think the other's out to get them. Hmm. I'm not sure whose hand is behind this, but you're going to find out.

Capture the servants of Mako and Black Scorpion

Capture Operative Unger

Briefing

Captain Mako and Black Scorpion have been set against one another. I don't know by whom, but I do know we have to stop the fighting. So you're going to capture the servants of both Mako and Black Scorpion. Get them to my bargaining table, and I'll take care of the rest.

Mission acceptance

Mako has charged his lieutenant, Operative Unger, with carrying out this war against Black Scorpion. You'll find Unger in Sharkhead, most likely.

Note: Despite what Arbiter Leery said, Operative Unger is actually in Nerva Archipelago.

Unnecessary solicitation

Get Unger here. Now!

Mission Objective(s)

Having official license to beat down Arachnos higher-ups is so liberating.

  • Capture Operative Unger

You captured Operative Unger, lieutenant!

Enemies

Arachnos

Note: Enemies will consist of the subgroup Crab Spiders only.

Notable NPCs

Operative Unger dialogue
Capture Wren

Unnecessary solicitation

Black Scorpion has put his battles with Mako in the hands of a Tarantula known as Wren. Get her!

Mission Objective(s)

Wren ought to go down as easily as Operative Unger.

  • Capture Wren

You captured Wren, Black Scorpion's lieutenant!

Enemies

Arachnos

Note: Enemies will consist of the subgroup Tarantulas only.

Notable NPCs

Wren dialogue

Debriefing

I'll sit down with these two ladies and have a pleasant little chat. No doubt I can uncover the reason for their masters' strife.

Unmask the deceiver

Briefing

After much lengthy talk, I have managed to get the truth from Wren and Operative Unger. It seems a certain someone contacted both of them, claiming to be a defector from the opposite camp. This person sold Wren on the idea that Mako planned to murder Black Scorpion, and also convinced Unger that Black Scorpion had it in for Captain Mako. If we can unmask this person, we can end this conflict. Character, I must warn you: all the indications point to this individual being quite formidable. If I were you, I wouldn't go in alone. And on top of that, we'll be on a time table here. You'll only have 75 minutes to complete this task, so I suggest finding allies before you begin the operation.

Mission acceptance

Here comes Indigo, "tee-hee!"

Based on the information Wren and Unger gave me, I've tracked the individual in question to a cavern network on Primeva. And Character, I must stress again: all the indications point to this individual being quite formidable.

Unnecessary solicitation

I want the person who's setting Black Scorpion and Mako against one another caught. Immediately.

Mission Objective(s)

This Longbow base is well hidden from the outside.

  • Capture the deceiver - 1:15:00

Failure - no message given
Success - You defeated Indigo!

Note: If you fail this mission, you will not receive any Souvenir for this Story Arc at all.

Enemies

Debriefing Mission Failure

No message given, prompts for next mission

Debriefing Mission Successful

Well done, Character. I will spread word of Indigo's defeat to Black Scorpion and Captain Mako. This should quell their fury, for now at least. But you should know: peace never lasts long within Arachnos. Mako is a vicious killer, and Black Scorpion is a paranoid psychopath. It won't take much to drive them into conflict again.

No One Gets It

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 4 Reward Merits.

Souvenir: Tears of the Spirit

This glass flask only contains a few drops of liquid, but if rumors are to be believed, those drops are most powerful. In addition, they're a potent reminder of the adventure you like to call:

No One Gets It

It began when Arbiter Leery informed you of a squabble between Ghost Widow and Scirocco. They were battling over an artifact known as the Tears of the Spirit. First, Leery sent you to abduct a Longbow operative who knew the story behind the tears. When you captured Agent Arthur Castle, he admitted the Tears were an item of awesome power. With the proper incantations, they would allow the desires of any person who drinks them to become real.

It was clear that the Tears had to be taken away from the squabbling Arachnos officers. Arbiter Leery sent you to confiscate them from their current holder, Scirocco. However, when you got there, you found Scirocco's troops embroiled in battle with Ghost Widow's Fortunatas. The Tears had already been taken.

Furious, Arbiter Leery declared that the Tears must be destroyed. He sent you to perform this act, but you tricked him. The Tears of the Spirit remain in your possession. Should you ever discover the proper incantations, your power will know no bounds.


Learn more about the Tears of the Spirit

Briefing

You've been around the Rogue Isles for a while now, Character, and I'm sure you've seen that even the most deadly villains can be like little children at times. At the present moment, two of my charges are squabbling over a toy. The Tears of the Spirit, to be exact. It's a flask of mystical liquid that's rumored to be older than Christianity. At the moment we don't know much about it, only that Ghost Widow and Scirocco both seem to be willing to squander their troops in a needless battle over it. You know what happens when kids can't share a toy, right? Nobody gets it. But before I send you to confiscate the Tears, we need to know more.

Mission acceptance

I need you to find a certain Longbow agent. Arthur Castle. According to rumor, he was present in Morocco where the Tears were unearthed six years ago. He's been trying to keep them out of Arachnos hands, so I suspect he knows a little bit about their mystical properties.

Unnecessary solicitation

I want to know everything Arthur Castle can tell us about the Tears of the Spirit.

Mission Objective(s)

Arthur Castle is the commander in charge of this Longbow vesel.

  • Capture Castle & his guards

You captured Arthur Castle!

Enemies

Longbow

Notable NPCs

Arthur Castle gasped, 'You have to understand! The Tears must be protected!'

Clue
Arthur Castle's story

When you captured Arthur Castle, he said:

'You don't understand! The Tears of the Spirit are too powerful to remain in Arachnos hands! Shed by an unnamed goddess in ancient times, the Tears have the power to make real the desires of any person who drinks them and speaks the proper incantations. Even in the hands of the world's greatest heroes, the Tears would be dangerous. Please! You must not let Arachnos keep them!'

Agent Arthur Castle dialogue

Debriefing

Arthur Castle is certainly well-informed about the Tears of the Spirit, as well as other matters of interest to Arachnos. Now we know something about the Tears' powers, and we can proceed with proper caution.

Retrieve the Tears of the Spirit from Scirocco

Briefing

It has become clear that the Tears of the Spirit cannot be allowed to remain in Scirocco's hands. Nor can they go to Ghost Widow. You, Character, are the duly appointed Arachnos representative in charge of retrieving the Tears from Scirocco. Do so without delay.

I hear the Tears are guarded by Scirocco's most trusted servent, Ice Mistral. I recommend that you take a full team with you; if Ice Mistral opposes you, she will not be easily dealt with.

Mission acceptance

Don't be tempted to drink the tears, Character. Without the proper incantations, they would surely kill you.

Unnecessary solicitation

We must confiscate the Tears of the Spirit before this conflict grows more bloody.

Mission Objective(s)

You hear the crash of a blade and a Fortunata's howl. Ghost Widow's troops are here!

  • Retrieve the Tears of the Spirit
    • Defeat Ice Mistral

The Tears of the Spirit are gone!

Enemies

Arachnos

Note: Enemies will consist mainly of the subgroup Mu Mystics, overwhelming smaller forces of Fortunatas.

Debriefing

So, Ghost Widow already has the Tears of the Spirit. Her rash action will only increase Scirocco's fury with her. We must act quickly.

Destroy the Tears of the Spirit

Briefing

I feared it might come to this. Ghost Widow and Scirocco are at one another's throats. Confiscating the Tears of the Spirit won't be enough, Character! We have to destroy it! I know Ghost Widow will have Wretch guarding her prize. Teach her a lesson by taking him down. You may well need a full team to do so.

Mission acceptance

Don't fight me on this, Character. You'll lose.

Unnecessary solicitation

I want the Tears of the Spirit destroyed!

Mission Objective(s)

These caverns shake with the sounds of battle.

  • Destroy Tears of the Spirit
    • Defeat Wretch

You have destroyed the case, but stolen the Tears of the Spirit!

Enemies

Arachnos

Note: Enemies will consist mainly of the subgroup Fortunatas, overwhelming smaller forces of Mu Mystics. A small platoon of Tarantulas and Crab Spiders will be guarding the Tears of the Spirit.

Debriefing

Well done, Character. It was a shame to have to destroy an item of such power, but it was worth it if it helps cement the structure upon which Arachnos is built. I imagine I will have more work for you in the future.
