Initial Contact
Character, thanks for coming. The situation we have calls for someone of your... power level. Allow me to explain.
We've had a series of deaths in Paragon as of late, starting a little before we had to shut the doors to Dark Astoria. The autopsy reports say that some of them were suicides, while others were murders. However, the one thing they had in common was some sort of religious symbolism behind all of the deaths. The victims believed they had done something wrong and deserved to be punished.
We sent in Detective Hopp to investigate the case, but now he's gone missing. We then sent in some heroes to check it out, but they're gone too. We even requested help from a small supergroup, but... well, they're also missing now.
This is why I've asked for your help, now that you're an Incarnate. Whatever is going on here is bigger than us, Character, and I think it has to do with whatever is flaring up in Dark Astoria.
Greeting
- Let's get to work

Eye of Judgement
A man's body has been found in a nearby alley of Peregrine. It looks like he jumped to his death off one of the apartment buildings. Witnesses say he was mumbling something about sin and burdens before he jumped.
This fits the pattern that we've been seeing. I'd like to ask that you check out the crime scene and see what you can find out, Character.
- I will. But what is this about Dark Astoria?
Ah, yes. Something... bad has happened in Dark Astoria. Some time ago, these monsters began to spill out of the gates, monsters more powerful than we've ever seen before. Blue Steel and a squad of our, well, let's just call them 'super' PPD Kheldians held off the monsters as long as they could, but it was obvious that we were fighting a losing battle.
Blue Steel ordered that we shut the hazard gates while the heroes of the city investigate what to do about the situation. The Midnighter Club has set up a portal in Peregrine Island for those who are looking to investigate the cursed city.
I believe whatever caused these monsters to appear in Dark Astoria is somehow linked to this case, which has not only claimed the lives of civilians but also possibly the lives of an entire supergroup of heroes.
Be careful, Character.
Unnecessary solicitation
We have PPD on the scene to make sure you're not disturbed.
Mission Objective(s)
- Investigate the latest death
This next is from the victim, lying on the ground in the open. Not a door mission. Briefing or not? yes, it shows as briefing in ingame mission article.
The scene before you is a grim one. You search through the dead man's pockets to see that his name is Harry Ifer, and that he was carrying several hastily written notes. They talk about how he never should have left, that he knew he would have to pay for his sins after that day.
One note describe in detail dreams that he was having, stating that he saw horrific monsters clawing at his body, pulling him inward, all the while saying that they will feast on the power of his sin. The man concluded that he had no choice but to leave this life to prevent the evil from winning.
You look through his pockets and see that he was living out of a boat nearby in Peregrine Island. You might be able to get more information from there.
Mission Objective(s)
- Go to the docks in Peregrine Island
You've arrived at the docks in Peregrine Island.
Unnecessary solicitation
Watch your back, Gregori Maric.
Unnecessary solicitation Those notes match what we've found on the other victims, Character.
Mission Objective(s)
- Investigate the victim's boat
- Investigate the boat
You found the man's journal, which points to this starting in a nearby apartment complex.
You searched the boat in Peregrine and find the journal belonging to Harry Ifer. He writes about restless dreams that kept him up at night. The dreams began a few weeks before the monsters spilled out of Dark Astoria. His early writings are coherent, Ifer wondering what they could all mean. He mentions that he saw images of his old apartment in Astoria and that sometimes the dreams in his mind were replays of his escape from the town when the Banished Pantheon monsters began to rise.
Ifer goes into great detail about his escape from Astoria. The dead were swarming the streets, slaughtering people by the dozens. He was following a woman named Heather Townshend. He was seperated from the group at a certain point and ran for dear life, eventually making it into Talos Island. Ifer accounts that he later saw Townshend, who refused to talk to him.
The writing in the journal becomes less coherent as the days go on, the nightmares seeming to overcome Ifer's sanity. His last entry says that he was going to visit someone in an old building nearby in apartment 113. Ifer said that he saw the apartment in his dreams, and that he hopes that he can get the answers he desperately seeks from there.
Mission Objective(s)
This apartment complex is run down and in dire need of renovation. How could such a place exist in Peregrine Island?
- Investigate Apartment 113 (Solo Mission)
- Investigate Apartment 113
Unnecessary solicitation
Watch your back, Gregori Maric.
At this point, Captain Nolan does not appear in the list of Active Contacts (or Inactive); whereas previously he could be called. Going physically back to him works for the Unnecessary solicitation.
the player enters the apartment building from the street, there is a corridor. They enter actual apartment 113, and it is full of occult items and such, and very messy. Then out the back door... into Dark Astoria (it seems!).
Mission Objective(s)
- Investigate Apartment 113 (Solo Mission)
