Mission:Tip - Seeds of Destruction

Seeds of Destruction (40-50)

Casually disregarding this seed at first as nothing special, you notice an odd pattern that has been etched on its surface.

Looking closer at the pattern, you recognize mystical etchings similar to the kind that the Circle of Thorns use in their rituals. As you continue to inspect the seed, a sickening purple glow begins to swirl around the runes. Instinctively, you throw it - and not a moment too soon, for it bursts into an explosion of dark magics.

With this seed being innocuous enough that someone of your ilk is able to overlook it, how many more of these seeds are making their way around the Rogue Isles? Additionally, who is it that these seeds are intended for? And even more importantly - why aren't you in on this scheme?

Then again, maybe these seeds have a nasty catch on them. It might be a good idea to eradicate them entirely.

VILLAIN: Find the source of these seeds and take them for your own uses.

The power these seeds contain would allow you to do all manner of... Interesting things. However, the first step will be to get them out of the hands of the Circle of Thorns and into yours. Once you've found the source of their creation, you could really go to town with these. And by town, you're thinking Paragon City... or maybe even bigger!

• Track down the cultists and take their magical seeds!

ROGUE: Find the source of these seeds and destroy them.

Briefing

These seeds may be too dangerous for even someone like you. Small and unassuming, anyone could come across them without noticing what kind of danger they're in. You're not so much concerned about other people being victim of them but rather you running into another one.

Perhaps it would be best if you tracked down these Circle of Thron cultists and put a stop to whatever their scheme is!

• Stop the Circle from creating more of the seeds of destruction.

You have a pretty good idea where to find the ones responsible for these strange seeds. If your hunch is right, you'll likely find them in the act of creating more of these deadly little bombs.

Find some clues as to how they're making them, then take out those crazies!

Unnecessary Solicitation

You still need to take care of the Circle of Thorns plot to plant seeds of destruction around the Isles.

Mission Objective(s)

As you enter, you hear a mysterious voice in your mind - 'Whoever you are... Help me... I've stopped the cultists... But they've... Caught me...'. Sounds like you weren't the only one with a mind to beat the daylight out of these cultists.

• Destroy the Seeds!
  • Find the mysterious voice
  • Defeat the Low Chanter to escape

Looks like one of the Heroes beat you to the Circle of Thorns goons. No matter... You still got a little extra spending money for a little bit of work.

Desdemona & The Circle of Thorns

Desdemona
Upon approach:

Behemoth: So predictable.

Desdemona: How could I have been so reckless? Such an obvious trap.

Desdemona: Character?

Behemoth: What are you doing here?

Desdemona: Were you lured by the seeds as well?

Desdemona: It's all a ruse! Help me and we can work together.

Behemoth: Destroy them!

After her rescue:

Desdemona: Thank you, Character. I certainly didn't expect for you to show up.

Desdemona: I'm going to make a run for it. You should likely do the same.

The Low Chanter
Upon approaching:

The Low Chanter: My bride... She has been taken from me? I feel it.

The Low Chanter: You will pay for your audacity!

First Blood: You followed my trail of seeds, did you not?

75% Life: They were not intended for you, fool.

50% Life: I'm done with this... COME TO ME

Reinforcements: We come to aid you, master!

25% Life: You dare cross one who has mastery over death?

Upon defeat: You.. Can not... Kell me... Forever...

Desdemona's Thanks

Before the weakened Desdemona ran off, she said she owed you a major favor. You'll have to remember to take her up on her offer next time you're in a pinch.

Debriefing

Desdemona, demon summoner turned hero, beat you to the punch. Although you might see that as a bad thing, she was the one who did all the work. All you had to do was lift a finger, and now she owes you a favor.
