Furtive Plea For Help

You find a note written in a hurry. You read it over, trying to figure out what exactly is written down...

'Character,

This is the safest way to contact you. You need to be warned about a life-threatening situation. I am part of a plot to kidnap and ransom the Paragon City Council. If our demands are not met, we will...dispose of our hostages.

This is not how it was originally supposed to happen, and I no longer want to be part of this plan - but I can't get out of it. I need your help, Character. Please do what I do not have the strength to do. I won't be there by the time you arrive - I want nothing else to do with this situation.

Miss Thystle'

Although this sounds like a trap, you've been hearing that Miss Thystle has been getting a bad name amongst the criminal elements of society. This very well could be true, and only you can save the City Council from being held for ransom... or even worse.

On the other hand, this could all be a trap - Thystle setting up the people she used to work for and then making a break for it. You're not about to allow a villain like her get away like this. You could track her down and bring her in - letting someone else deal with the possible problem with the Paragon City Council.

HERO

VIGILANTE

Hero Acceptance

Briefing

Miss Thystle has been causing problems for Paragon City for quite some time now. Her insidious plots have ranged from toppling historic monuments by means of accelerated plant overgrowth to despoiling outlying farms' harvests. However, she has never resorted to outright kidnapping. Perhaps this note is truly a plea for help from her.

If she truly is considering turning away from her evil ways, then you can not discount this warning. There may still be time to rescue the members of the City Council before it's curtains for them. From what it sounds like, Miss Thystle may be trying to delay her cohorts from following through with their plan, offering you an adequate distraction allowing you a chance to get them to safety.

Not only will you be able to save the lives of respected members of society, you may also be able to show Miss Thystle that fighting for what is right pays off far more than the life she's been previously living.

Trust Miss Thystle's message and rescue the City Council!

Since City Hall's sessions are closed right now, Thystle and her counterparts will have likely taken the Council Members to an offsite location. In order to kidnap them all at the same time, the location will likely be one of the administrative buildings, and you're pretty certain which one it is.

Get over to that building and rescue the Council members. Make sure they make it safely out. Allowing them to be recaptured would defeat Thystle's warning entirely.

Mission Objective(s)

You may have gotten here just in time. You can hear muffled cries coming from down the halls of the building. Quickly, get those Council Members to safety!

Vigilante Acceptance

Briefing

This 'warning' by Miss Thystle is a rather transparent attempt at luring you into a trap. What she didn't plan for was you focusing on tracking her down!

Regardless of whether or not there is an actual situation, you can't just let Miss Thystle go like this. It should be easy enough to track down where exactly Thystle was run off to and then bring her down!

Track down Miss Thystle!

You're able to discover where Miss Thystle ran to - an old cave network beneath Paragon City.

If she thinks she can hide there, she has another thing coming to her. You're going to go in there and show her what exactly happens to the villains you catch within Paragon City!
