Mission:Tip - Gold Plated Monocle

Gold Plated Monocle

Alignment Mission

You find a gold plated monocle just laying on the ground. You pick it up and see that it's actually just fake gold, so it wouldn't really sell for any money. However, there seems to be some sort of microchip embedded into the glass part of the monocle. You put in some legwork to get the microchip analyzed and find that there was a video contained inside of it...

The video seems to be taken in an abandoned laboratory. You see Crey scientists doing experiments on one of the Cabal witches. A scientist clears his throat and begins to speak in a monotone voice, describing how they are trying to figure out a way to scientifically measure the magic that the Cabal uses in order to transplant it into the Crey Paragon Protectors. The witch lets out a scream, pleading for anyone to help her and that whoever helps will be greatly rewarded. At that point, one of the Crey guards knocks out the witch. As the video finishes, the Crey scientist reveals the location of the lab and that the video is for classified eyes only.

Yet another unethical and ridiculous experiment being performed by those within Crey. What a surprise. What really caught your attention was the witch offering a possible reward for her rescue. This might be something that you could make a profit on, as long as it isn't too difficult going up against Crey.

HERO: Save the Cabal from Crey!

You're not too sure where Crey's experiments are going to lead them, but it's just too bad for them that you're going to be rewarded by this witch and any other possible witches for saving their lives. You figure they could have some very powerful magical artifacts to give to you, especially if it means that they're going to be back with their sisters in Croatoa.

• Save the Cabal Witches!

You'll have no time to lose. If Crey gets away with this experiment, they'll have new Paragon Protectors out in force and you'll never get that reward from those witches!

Unnecessary Solicitation

Every minute wasted is time spent not getting that reward!

Mission Objective(s)

There's a magical air in the area. The Cabal are here and alive, along with their Crey captors. The Cabal are known for their powerful magics; it should be interesting to see what they would offer in exchange for their lives.

• Save the Cabal from Crey
  • Rescue the Cabal Witch
  • Ask the Witch about your reward
  • Rescue the Cabal Witch's Sister
  • Ask the next Witch about your reward

Cabal Witch dialog

Before Combat:

Scorpinoid Trooper: Excellent. This data should do nicely.

Cabal Witch: Ugh...

Combat Start:

Cabal Witch: What...? Who are you?

Scorpinoid Deathstalker: Character?! How did you find out about this place?!

Once Rescued:

Cabal Witch: What are you doing here...?

Cabal Witch conversation

You have my appreciation and my thanks. I assume you saw the video that was taken?
I have two other sisters that are being kept within this laboratory. Please, you have to help them! Crey plans on killing them once they learn of their secrets. We are all bound, our souls one. If one of them were to die, we would all die!

• Alright, I'll save them. What about that reward?

Ah, yes. Here, now that I am free, I can create this for you.
The Cabal Witch spins her fingers as a small crystal appears in your hands.
This crystal will prevent you from getting headaches as long as you carry it. It was given to me by my mother on her deathbed, who was given it by her mother. It holds much personal value, but I will give it away to one as heroic as yourself. I must be off now, please, help the others!
... the reward was stopping you from getting headaches?

• ... Headaches. Life saver. Thanks.

Cabal Witch dialog

Before Combat:

Cabal Witch: Just... leave me be...

Scorpinoid Trooper: You know we can't do that. You could've made this easier if you just told us about your magics.

Combat Start:

Cabal Witch: What are you doing here...?

Cabal Witch: Did my sister send you?

Scorpinoid Deathstalker: More interruptions? Deal with this!

Once Rescued:

Cabal Witch: I did not think I was going to make it out of there...

Cabal Witch conversation

Thank you so much, I'm eternally grateful for all of your help. Perhaps I was wrong about outsiders, you may not be so bad.

• Right. So... that reward...

My sister promised you a reward? Hrm... Yes, you do deserve something for saving my life. Here.
The Witch twirls her fingers as a red orb appears in your hand.
This orb will be able to tell you the exact patterns of a weather forecast wherever you are. I do hope that is enough for you. This orb was passed down throughout my family for generations. It is one of the most valuable things that I have, but you deserve it now.
I must go join my sister, but please, there is still one of us left in there!
You're starting to get the feeling that these rewards might not really be what you bargained for.

• Weather. Perfect.
