Level 20-24
There's a wise old man named Dr. Cheng who knows just about everything there is to know about the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns. He has access to Training Enhancements.
Dr. Cheng is very wise, Hero. Pay close attention to his words.
Claire Childress is as much a part of the spirit world as our own. Some say she's flighty, but there are few in Paragon City who can provide more aid to one who seeks to battle the Freakshow or the Family. Claire has access to Training Enhancements.
Listen closely to her words; they may contain more information than you realize.
I'd love for you to meet Polly Cooper. She's a coordinator for the Civil Air Patrol, and she knows a lot about the Sky Raiders and the Lost. Polly has access to Training Enhancements.
Miss Cooper is very skilled at her job and should prove to be a valuable asset to you.
I know a guy named Kevin Cordell who runs a small security consulting business. He's heard about you and would like to talk sometime about the Sky Raiders and the Lost. Kevin used to be a hero, and he still has access to Training Enhancements.
Kevin is not easily impressed, but I think you will do just fine with him, Character.
I'd like you to meet Oswald Cuthbert. He's a probation officer and thus has a lot of contact with the sordid side of Paragon City. He often uses heroes like you to help him out with the Sky Raiders and the Council. Oswald can get you Training Enhancements.
Good choice, Character, and good hunting
Wil Eziquerra is an excellent reporter who specialized in stories on the Sky Raiders and the Council. His sources usually keep him stocked up with Training Enhancements.
Wil is going to be a great resource for you, Character.
I have to admit that Georgia Fields doesn't have the best reputation. No one really knows how she gets her information, but she's an excellent source on the Sky Raiders and the Lost. She is usually able to get her hands on training enhancements.
If you are careful, Georgia can be of great assistance to you.
I think you should meet Andrew Fiore. Not only can he sell you quality electronics, but he's got information about lots of less savory business deals. He's helped more than a few heroes, especially with information about the Freakshow and the Family. Andrew has a lot of sources that give him access to Training Enhancements.
Andrew is a businessman first, but it's in his best interest to keep the heroes he works with up to date on information.
I think you should talk to Vic Garland. He's a civil rights activist who's doing some important work against the Freakshow. He's also more than a little curious about the Family. He could really use your help. Vic has access to Training Enhancements.
Vic is uncompromising and fiercely loyal.
I've been asked to introduce you to Lt. Gosford from the Paragon City Police Department. He runs a special unit that is focused on bringing down the Sky Raiders and the Council. Gosford's connections within the department give him access to Training Enhancements.
Gosford is used to working with heroes. You will get along fine.
My friend Justin Greene has asked to see you. He's a coordinator for his local community watch group. He used to be a hero, so he knows how to help you clean up groups like the Sky Raiders and the Council. Justin has access to Training Enhancements.
I think Justin will like you a great deal, Character.
If you can gain his confidence, Oliver Haak is a rich source of information on the occult. Don't be put off by his demeanor, Character, I know that you will impress him. He can really help you out against the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns. Oliver has access to Training Enhancements.
Your actions will speak for you with Oliver.
I'd like you to go see my friend Piper Irving. She's an anthropologist working here in the city. She knows a ton about the obscure beliefs of the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns. Piper knows where to get Training Enhancements.
I am sure you will find Piper quite knowledgeable.
Detective Rondel Jackson is a great guy to talk to if you want the police perspective on groups like the Sky Raiders and the Council. He's also the one to talk to if you need Training Enhancements.
Detective Jackson is a hardworking straight-shooter. He won't steer you wrong.
I have no doubt you will enjoy working with Professor Keller
Although he is a bit eccentric, Joseph Keller has a great deal of knowledge. He can greatly aid anyone who wishes to go up against the Banished Pantheon or the Circle of Thorns. Professor Keller has access to Training Enhancements.
If you ever have a computer problem or want a lead on some computer related crime, you should talk to Justine Kelly. She's a whiz at technical stuff and a bit of an online hero in her own right. Lately she has been focusing her attention on the Sky Raiders and the Lost. Justine has access to Training Enhancements.
Justine is a very skilled young lady.
There's a noted weapons expert named Jake Kim who's in town trying to stop the spread of illegal weaponry. He is focusing his efforts on the Freakshow and the Family. Jake has access to Training Enhancements.
Jake has a very specific agenda, but he can still help you clean up Paragon City.
I've been asked to tell you that Lt. Colonel Hugh McDougal of the Pentagon's Hero Outreach Program would like to meet with you about the Freakshow and the Family. His military connections give him access to Training Enhancements.
This could provide excellent connections for you in the future, Character.
If you are looking for a partner to help you take down the Banished Pantheon, Andrea Mitchell would be a great choice. She is very dedicated and her connections are top notch. She also has a lot of interest in the Circle of Thorns. Andrea has access to Training Enhancements.
I have a good feeling about you and Andrea.
Melanie Peebles has the power to see things through her dreams. Her most recent dreams have been about the Sky Raiders and the Lost. Melanie has access to Training Enhancements.
Do not dismiss Melanie's guidance lightly.
Have you ever heard of Wilma Peterson from the Department of Waste Management? She's one of the folks in charge of disposing of hazardous waste, like Rikti technology. You should stop by and see her sometime; she's got her eye on the Freakshow and the Family right now. Wilma has access to Training Enhancements.
Treat Wilma with respect and you will have a solid contact.
Cain Royce is strongly committed to his crusade against the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns. You would do well to have him as an ally. Cain can get you Training Enhancements.
Paragon City's evil-doers will soon feel the weight of this choice.
I think you should talk to John Strobel from the Citizen Defense Coalition. It's a group of ex-military and law enforcement officers that helps heroes like you from time to time. Right now their attention is focused on the Sky Raiders and the Council. John has a few sources that can get him Training Enhancements.
John is very patriotic and somewhat idealistic, but he's got a keen eye for trouble.
I've been asked to keep this very quiet, but someone from the CIA wants to meet you. Her name is Kirsten Woods and she knows quite a bit about the Sky Raiders. She also thinks there may be more to the Lost than meets the eye. As a CIA operative, Agent Woods has access to Training Enhancements.
Keep a low profile when you are working with Kirsten.
Level 25-29
I'd like you to introduce yourself to Ashwin Lannister from Hero Corps. They may be a for-profit organization, but they get the job done. He is currently focused on the Council and the Warriors. He has access to Training Enhancements.
Hero Corps doesn't always get the best press, but they are effective. Good luck, and keep your eyes open.
There's a woman named Laurie Pennington over at the Freedom Corps who'd like to meet you. Apparently, she's heard good things. She can provide excellent information about the Council and the Warriors. She has access to Training Enhancements.
The work that Laurie and the Freedom Corps are doing is exemplary.
Information
Youth Director
Tyler French works for the rather beleaguered Paragon City Parks and Recreation Department. With so much of the city still in need of repair, there is little money for things like after school programs and youth sports leagues. Tyler French has made it his mission to ensure that none of these things disappear. A low-paid Parks Department employee, he uses fundraisers to augment his non-existent budget and counts numerous prominent heroes among his donors. He uses the money to develop programs that keep kids involved in productive, healthy pursuits. Tyler often heads out into the rougher neighborhoods to recruit teens he thinks might benefit from his programs. His activities put him in touch with many different criminal elements, and the kids he works with know that they can always tell him when they're in trouble. Tyler passes that information on to the heroes he works with, happy to make a difference when and where he can.
Prior to Introduction
I'm sorry, but I gotta ref a game in a few minutes. Go talk to Active Contact, ok?
Initial Contact
The kids of this city don't get the breaks they need nearly as often as they should. If you help me clean up some of these 'recruiting agencies,' we can change that.
Greeting
- I'm glad you're ready to help, Character.
- This town is too much, sometimes.
Too Busy
I admire your dedication, but you shouldn't take on quite so much work.
No More Missions
I'd like to help, Character, but I'm fresh out of leads. Ask your other contacts.
Store
- Inspirations (Luck, Catch a Breath, Enrage)
You are starting to make a difference around here, friend. I'd be more than happy to show you the newest Enhancements in my store. Anything to help a hero like you. If you need anything, please call on me.
- Inspirations (all)
- Level 20 Mutation/Science Dual Origin Enhancements (200% base costs)
- Level 25 Mutation/Science Dual Origin Enhancements (200% base costs)
You have done more than I had hopes for, Character. Maybe there's a way I can return the favor. Take a look at the latest Enhancements available in my store.
- Level 25 Mutation Single Origin Enhancements (200% base costs)
Story Arc
Mission:StoryArc The Tsoo Coup
Missions
Assist the Talos Island Security Chief (20-22)
Briefing
The conflict between the Warriors and the Tsoo for dominance over Talos Island is endangering innocents. The Security Chief over there wants your help.
Mission Acceptance
Both those bands of thugs need a lesson, Character.
Assist Security Chief
Unnecessary Solicitation
Talos Island needs your help, Character!
Mission Objective(s)
- Assist Security Chief
I need you to confront the Tsoo and the Warriors. Here are some basics about the area. If I were you, I'd look for the Tsoo in Helen Point or New Sparta. New Thebes and New Troy are typical Warrior hangouts.
During the 1950's, the titanic hero Talos fought to save the city from a horrid beast called the Chimera. Talos wrestled the protean creature into the deepest waters of the bay, and their struggles somehow set off a volcano in the waters. Talos was killed, and the island created by the lava flow was named after him. Recently, a couple of gangs have been squaring off for Talos Island turf: the Warriors and the Tsoo. The Warriors have a fixation with gladiators; they carry swords and are often superb soldiers. The Tsoo seem to be a gang with some magical might behind them.
Discourage gang war
Unnecessary Solicitation
High powered gang wars have a heavy body count. Get to work.
Mission Objective(s)
- Discourage gang war
- Defeat 10 Tsoo and 10 Warriors
You have discouraged the gang war between the Tsoo and the Warriors.
Enemies
Debriefing
That should quiet things down for a bit. Talos Island is in for a long war, I'm afraid.
Deliver package to Stephanie Peebles
Briefing
Have you ever been over to Striga Isle, Character? There's a woman there named Stephanie Peebles who needs our help. She's got all she can do trying to hold Port Noble together against the onslaught of the Council. Will you take this package over to Stephanie? I'd appreciate it if you didn't look inside. Oh, you might want to take some friends. It can get pretty dicey over there.
Mission Acceptance
The Council has managed to entrench itself on Striga Isle but good. If you can give Stephanie any assistance against them, I'm sure she'll be grateful. Of course, I hope you won't forget about your old friends here in Paragon City. We'll always be grateful for your help, too.
Here's the package. It's for Stephanie's eyes only.
This package, intended for Stephanie Peebles, has a strange scent. Try as you might, you can't quite place it.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Stephanie's waiting for that package.
Mission Objective(s)
- Go see Stephanie Peebles
Thanks for the package, Character; I'm grateful. So, what do you think of Port Noble? Doesn't look like much, maybe? Well, it's my home. I've been doing what I can to kick those Council goons out, but I need more help. I'd appreciate it if you could stick around.
Otherwise, you can keep following leads from your other contacts. I'll always be here, and I'll always be grateful for assistance.
There is no debriefing from your original contact for this mission and no experience is given for it. Additionally, the mission will drop off your mission list automatically and you are not required to return to your contact to remove it. This is because it is intended to be an introduction to the contact Stephanie Peebles, and the Striga Isle arcs by extension.
Get the Platonic Solids away from the Warriors (20-25)
Briefing
The Warriors recently got their hands on the Platonic Solids. They're ancient ritual tools of the Cult of Pythagoras, which practiced an abstract branch of magic based around geometry and geometric mathematics. A single solid is potentially capable of folding reality, time, and probability. I need someone to get the Platonic Solids away from the Warriors before they accidentally unfold space and time. You only have 90 minutes to recover the artifacts.
Mission Acceptance
There's a rumor that the Warrior leader behind those thefts is trying to revive the Pythagorean cult.
Unnecessary Solicitation
If the Warriors learn how to use the Platonic Solids, it could mean a lot of trouble. Get them out of their hands.
Temporary Power
I do have these for you, a set of Geometric Gauntlets
. They were made to allow someone to handle the Platonic Solids safely, but they have an additional use. They can temporarily fold space around an enemy, holding him in place.
Ranged, Foe Immobilize, -Fly
This Geometric Gauntlet creates a localized gravitational field strong enough to immobilize a single foe. The target can still attack, but cannot move. It is also powerful enough to bring down flying entities. There are 75 charges.
Mission Objective(s)
The grafitti on the walls has a strange geometric precision.
- Defeat gang leader and his crew (Timed, 90 minutes)
- 4 Platonic Solids to recover
You have defeated the Warriors and recovered the Platonic Solids.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Pythagoras (Warriors Slasher Elite)
The refracted depths of this crystalline solid are hypnotic. You have to pull yourself away and concentrate on the task ahead.
As you look through the facets of this crystal cube, you can see glimpses of other worlds.
Each facet of the 20-sided crystal reflects alternate versions of the last few seconds of time.
This eight-sided crystal is cracked and dark.
Debriefing
You make the hardest fights seem easy. The Platonic Solids are safe, and you managed it before the Warriors did any damage with them. Actually, my MAGI contacts tell me we were pretty lucky. The Octahedron was cracked centuries ago, and the most powerful Platonic Solid, the Dodecahedron, was lost in the destruction of the Library of Alexandria. Still, if they'd learned enough, the Warriors might have been able to make new ones. The city owes you again. Template:Mission Common Go to Talos Island and cull the numbers of the Tsoo Template:Mission Common Hit the streets and defeat a few Warriors
Recover the stolen artwork from the Tsoo (20-25)
Briefing
An exhibit of artwork by the painter Jessica Frank has been stolen. I've learned that the Tsoo were behind it, and they have the art stored in a warehouse. I need someone to recover the stolen artwork from the Tsoo.
Mission Acceptance
Jessica Frank's work isn't very valuable, but I've heard the theft was ordered by Tub Ci himself.
Unnecessary Solicitation
You need to recover that stolen artwork before the Tsoo can sell it.
Mission Objective(s)
The crates that line the walls are probably full of stolen goods.
- Defeat art thief and his crew
- 4 paintings to find
You beat the Tsoo and recovered the stolen art.
- The name of the painter can vary. Known names: Werner Dietrich, Jessica Frank, Ezekial Kadahti, Lupe Luz, Chakaday Udrie.
- The name of the painting series can vary: Known names: Darkest Hubris, Endless Night, Mystic Dreams.
- The name of the boss can vary. Known names: Crazy Phoenix, Fire Lion, Iron Reaver, Iron Web, Mad Thunder, Shadow Hand, Storm Strider.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Fire Lion (Tsoo Fire Dagger)
This painting of a mist shrouded, alien landscape gives you the creeps.
This painting shows a twisted, ghost-like creature.
This painting of a nightmarish landscape makes you ill at ease.
This disturbing painting shows two strange, unearthly creatures locked in combat.
Debriefing
Wow, look at this painting! Is that a Tsoo ancestral spirit? Yes, look at the exhibit tag. It actually describes the process for summoning such a spirit. No wonder the Tsoo wanted to keep these paintings from being displayed!
See Siren's Call Liaison
Briefing
I don't know if you realized this, but as we speak, Paragon City is under assault. Over in Siren's Call, Lord Recluse and his men are making every effort to get themselves a foothold. If we let them manage it, we'll be in serious trouble. I'd appreciate it if you'd go speak with the Longbow Warzone Liaison over in Steel Canyon. She could use the help of heroes like you.
Siren's Call is a PVP zone, where you may be killed by other players.
Mission Acceptance
The Warzone Liaison can help you get the right contacts in Siren's Call.
Unnecessary Solicitation
The Warzone Liaison wants to speak to you about Siren's Call.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Warzone Liaison
If you're ready to take on a real challenge, you can be a big help to Longbow here in Siren's Call. We have to push Arachnos out. If you're willling, you can talk to Agent Brinson. He's got a number of missions that will swing the battle in Longbow's favor. Or you can talk to the Security Chief at the Longbow Base; he can tell you all about bounties.
Siren's Call is a PVP zone. If you enter, you may be killed by other players. Do not enter if you are not willing to risk this.
Debriefing
I hope the Warzone Liaison gave you the info you need to help out in Siren's Call. It would be a shame to lose that zone to Arachnos. Template:Mission Common Take the fight to the Warriors
