The Widow in Red: Part One

Briefing

Hello again, Character. I bet you are wondering why I called you here of all places. I need to put some 'distance' between you, me, and Longbow on this op, and Pocket D seemed like the right place.

Here is the situation: Longbow PSYOPS, you know, the guys who print up the flyers that say 'Recluse is lying to you' (and) airdrop them over Grandville? Well, those guys have also been doing some psych profiles of one Stephen Richter, aka Lord Recluse, and came up with something very interesting. Longbow would love to task you and anyone you can wrangle into performing an 'off-the-books' op for us.

  • I'm game. Anything to disrupt Arachnos is good by me.

Excellent.

Spies and telepaths have uncovered more information about the woman known as Red Widow. Apparently she and Recluse were quite the item back in the day, until she was killed during a fight between Recluse and my grandfather, Statesman.

PSYOPS believes that if Red Widow was brought back into Lord Recluse's life his attention would be split. He would no longer have this single minded obsession with conquering Paragon City and the rest of the world. In a way, Red Widow can temper the beast that is my great-Uncle.

We will need to gather a couple things first in order to perform the ritual needed to bring her back to life. Fortunately the Circle of Thorns has a copy of the ritual we need, in one of their libraries we've been keeping tabs on.

In addition, we need you to get the following items: the Amber Widow, three ancient obols, and 'a dying breath.' Go and see the Couduit about the obols, Dr. Cheng about the Amber Spider, and you'll need to get the rest of the components from Orenbega.

Obtain an obol from The Conduit

Unnecessary Solicitation

You should see the Conduit in Croatoa about getting an obol, whatever that is supposed to be.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Obtain an obol from The Conduit (in Croatoa)

Briefing

Ah, I've heard of your exploits, Character. What can I help you with?

  • Tell me about obols.
Obols? In magic they are commonly used in rituals that involve death and the afterlife, as Charon the ferryman to the underworld, would take an obol as payment to ferry a soul to the afterlife.
  • What is an obol?
An obol, or obolus, is a name for an ancient Greek coin.
  • I need an obol.
You need an obol? Planning on dying sometime soon I assume? I can help you out, but tell me, exactly what are you planning on doing with said item?
  • I need an obol for a resurrection ritual.
Good Sir / Madam, a single obol is used to pay Charon to take you TO the afterlife. If you want the trip to be a 'round-trip' I would suggest procuring multiples. How many souls are you planning on resurrecting?
  • One
I see, then you would need two obols, one to send Charon across the river Styx and one to bring him back with the soul in question in tow. Is the soul expecting to be brought back?
  • No.
Then might I suggest a part of you take the trip as well, and for that you will need a third obol.
  • I don't believe so.
Then might I suggest a part of you take the trip as well, and for that you will need a third obol.
  • Two
Figured out you need to convince the subject to come back to the land of the living, did you? You'll need to send part of yourself in the ritual, and for that you'll need a third coin to ensure you make the return trip as well.
  • Then I will need three obols.
Excellent! Here you go, three obols. This should do well to bring back your friend, as long as they are willing to be brought back. A few souls prefer the afterlife to what they had here on Earth.
  • Thank you.
Clue
Three Obols

These ancient Greek obols, or coins, are what is used to pay the boatman Charon to carry your soul across the river Styx to the afterlife. Three of them should buy passage to the underworld and then a return trip for you and a... guest.

Obtain The Amber Widow from Dr. Cheng

Unnecessary Solicitation

Go and see Dr. Cheng. They (She) have (has) the Amber Widow, and may be willing to part with it.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Obtain the Amber Widow from Dr. Cheng (in Independence Port)

Briefing

The Amber Widow, yes? Yes, this particular piece is over one million years old.

It is amazing, wouldn't you say?An innocent black widow spider, minding its business crawling across the surface of a tree, perhaps to find a new home to spin her web, when she finds herself stuck in the sticky sap. She's engulfed over the next day or so, trapped in a state that is neither alive nor dead. As the sap hardened, it fossilized, only to be uncovered a million years later by an archaeologist and acquired by me. I assume, Character that your intentions for this are pure, so please, take it with my blessing.

Clue
The Amber Widow

This black widow spider was trapped in amber nearly a million years ago. It is perfectly preserved in a state between life and death. It is the perfect catalyst for the resurrection of the woman known as the Red Widow

Obtain the Final Ingrediants

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to get the last two ingredients

Mission Objective(s)

Oranbega, the ancient city that Paragon City was built on top of. In here the final pieces of the ritual lie.

  • Gather the final ingredients
    • Find a Dying Breath
    • Locate the Ritual
    • Defeat the Librarian and guards

With the breath and ritual in hand, you are ready to move on to the next step.


The ritual seems to have been removed, very recently.
The Librarian wasn't lying. He did posses the ritual you were looking for.

Clue
The Resurrection Ritual

Complicated and incomplete, this ritual seems to be 80% strict adherence, and 20% improvisation. You deduce that the proper way to perform the ritual starts with the placement of a single obol into a magic circle. From here things get sketchy. Some sort of catalyst is needed for you to successfully use the Amber Widow, something to give it purpose. Charon's return trip must then be paid for in obols. Finally the Dying Breath must make it's way into the circle to hopefully interact with the deceased. Then, and only then, will the ritual be complete.

There is a seemingly empty bottle, sealed with wax, labeled 'Final breath of Charles Brant, May 1st, 1997

Clue
A Dying Breath, bottled

One of the most powerful reagents in a resurrection spell is the final breath of a sentient being. Often faked, and incredibly difficult to mass-produce, this ingredient alone holds the key to bringing someone back from the dead.

Enemies

Circle of Thorns

Notable NPCs

Debriefing

Excellent! You've gathered all the ingredients you will need. PSYOPS has a good feeling about this, and they are glad I picked you to pull this off.

The Widow in Red: Part Two

Briefing

Excellent, Character! With these gathered materials we should be able to bring Red Widow back to life. PSYOPS has divined that the location of her death would be the best place to bring her back to life. We've dispatched mystics to set up the magic circle you will need to complete the ritual. Just let me know when you are ready.

  • I just hope this plan works out.

You and me both. I know it's taking a risk bringing back a deadly assassin like Red Widow, but PSYOPS pre-cogs assure me that odds are in our favor. You have the ritual, but I understand the exactness of it is... vague. You're probably going to have to improvise a bit. One thing I can assure you though, is use the Dying Breath as the last thing, and only if everything else seems like it is working up to that point. Getting another one of those may prove to be... difficult.
