Mission:Common - Rescue abductees from the Circle of Thorns
Rescue abductees from the Circle of Thorns (25-30)
Briefing
There have been some disturbing disappearances of late. Citizens with some minor mystical connections have been disappearing from their homes, sometimes even from locked rooms with no sign of forced entry. My investigation found some spectral residue, leading me to suspect that the Circle of Thorns is behind these abductions. You've got to rescue those abductees from the Circle. You only have 90 minutes to rescue the victims.
Mission Acceptance
There have been rumors lately about the Circle planning a ritual in the old Shady Pines Graveyard. That could be where you'll find these missing people.
Unnecessary Solicitation
The Circle's plans grow closer to completion, and with it the danger to the abducted grows ever greater. Hurry, Character, there isn't much time!
Mission Objective(s)
The air here is strangely warm, and tastes of sulfurous flame.
- Stop Polentes & his coven - 90 minutes timed
- Disrupt portal, 6 people to save
You have disrupted the portal and saved all the potential sacrifices.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Polentes/Tarsis/Utares (Circle of Thorns Agony Mage)
- Sacrificial Victim x6 (Hostages)
Notes
The boss can have different names, including Polentes, Tarsis and Utares.
Debriefing
You've foiled the plans of the Circle of Thorns yet again, Character. You saved a lot of innocents today, and kept the circle from completing whatever strange pact they were trying to make. I am still puzzled why they chose their targets for the sacrifice, but the important thing now is that all are safe thanks to your valiant efforts.
