Part One
Exemplar Level: 25-34
Hello, Character. while I realize you've barely mastered the complex art of clothing yourself in the morning, I have an important task for you. Don't gawp, just listen.
Operations are in place to elevate Lord Recluse's authority in the Rogue Isles like never before. In order to accomplish this, there is one minor detail that you will need to take care of.
Back in 1963, President Marchand was a thorn in Recluse's side that had to be removed. you will travel back to 1963 and take care of him. Now, I do not think I need to remind you that discretion is key. But it's you, so I must. There can be NO evidence that leads Marchand's demise back to Lord Recluse.
Mission Acceptance
MOVE, bottom-feeder! Marchand is a slippery little snake. You need to catch him before he slinks away.

Mission Objective(s)
Marchand was smart to pick caves for a hiding place. He's slippery; no wonder he's hiding with snakes. But now that you're here, it looks like his luck just ran out.
- Go to the Safehouse
- Search Hiding Place
- Defeat Ms. Liberty
You land the final blow and Miss Liberty crumples to the ground at your feet.
As you defeat Ms. Liberty, you notice a spark and then a note drops to the ground. Whoops. You just received a note from the Principal's office.
You defeated both Ms. Liberty AND her mother!

NPC Text
- Arachnos Assassin:
When rescued: "Recluse thought you could use a little help, Character."
Miss Liberty: We know you're close by, Character.
Miss Liberty: I'm waiting for you.
Miss Liberty: Think you can get Marchand? You're going to have to go through me.
President Marchand: I'm on to you, hooligan!
President Marchand: Now, Miss Liberty, if you please. How does this thing work again?
Miss Liberty: You just push the button, sir.
President Marchand: Oh, thank you, dear. I knew that this newfangled technology always confuses me.
President Marchand: Better luck next time, hoodlum!! Miss Liberty: My pleasure, sir.

At 75% Life: "You've barely scratched me! Whoever sent you should be fired!"
At 50% Life: "Okay, now I'm annoyed!"
At 25% Life: "You got me on a bad day!"
Defeated: "What? This can't be! I'm Miss Liberty!"

Ms. Liberty: Get away from my MOTHER, Character!
Ms. Liberty: You think you're the only one with access to Ouroboros?
Ms. Liberty: You are DONE!

Combat start: "I can't believe you beat up my MOM!!"
At 75% Life: "Ow! Quit it!"
At 50% Life: "You'll never win!"
At 25% Life: "I can't believe you're winning!"
Defeated: "You may have defeated me, but you didn't get Marchand! You FAILED!"
Defeats a villain: "Need text"
The words on the note fade in and out, as if time itself ages them into nothingness:
'You have been duped by Marchand. Your ineptitude is disheartening. You must prove your worth to me before I will allow you to continue, assassin.'
Below the reprimand is another set of coordinates. This isn't looking good for you.
Debriefing
Marchand wasn't there? Well don't cry about it, I did say that time-travel can be imprecise. So quit your blubbering, it's weak.
Besides, you were able to smack around both Ms. Liberty and her mother. What could be better than that? that'll teach Heroes for interfering with destiny.
So you received a not from Recluse. Hm, I thought that might happen. Apparently, in the fabric of time there have been failed attempts in the past and Lord Recluse has had to test his followers, erm, dedication.
Actually, I'd start worrying if I were you. You're probably going to get beaten pretty badly. But...surprise me.
I see something dark and malevolent in you. Maybe you're not completely useless. Keep it up.
Head to the Underground Lair
Briefing
The Spider Weaves His Web
Part Two
Let me see that paper. Hm. It looks like you will be heading to one of those Arachnos underground lairs. My guess? A test of your dedication. If I were you, I'd stock up on - how do I say this delicately - bandages. In fact, consider the bulk size. You look like a bleeder.
Mission Acceptance
Hows, this? I'll lie and tell you everything will be ALL RIGHT. Here goes, 'good luck!'. That tasted foul coming out of my mouth. Put it this way, I'm sure Lord Recluse doesn't hold a grudge. Much.
Unnecessary solicitation
Just be yourself, aim below the belt, and bob and weave. Scratch that. Be someone who will survive the trial. Don't be you.
If Lord Recluse is willing to give you a second chance, you should consider yourself lucky. He could have just had you eliminated. It's what I'd do. See? Bright side. Off you go.
Mission Objective(s)
The chill of fear washes over you as you enter. What exactly does Lord recluse have in store? And why is that 'Arachnos Spectator' just staring at you?
- Prove your dedication
- Survive Recluse's Wrath
Calamity had some final words for you.
You survived the three fates worse than death!

As Calamity breathed his last, he said to you:
'Well done. You've survived the three fates worse than death. Your dedication to Lord Recluse is without question. Take this sash as proof that you have defeated your final challenge.
The sash from Calamity's outfit. Proof that you have survived Lord Recluse s trial.
Debriefing
Succeeded did you? I don't believe you. There should be a sash. Show it to me. Well, the good news is, with Recluse's faith in you restored, we may now - finally - move on. Get it right this time. This is becoming embarrassing.
Your service has been reasonably useful to me. Believe me, that's the best you'll ever hope to get.
