Part Three: Professional Advice

Briefing

So, we know that Pandora's Box is pretty old - it has a few thousand years to its name, at the least. In Achaea, people believed it was a tool of the gods. Now, I have no idea if this thing is magic in nature, but I do know that for all historical intents and purposes, it may as well have been.

So, if we're looking for an ancient and powerful magical artifact, I can only think of one person I'd want to ask about it.

  • And who would that be?

M.A.G.I.'s top arcane quarantine expert: Azuria. She's been a bit busy ever since the attack on Galaxy City; the M.A.G.I. vault there was destroyed, and Azuria's in charge of the team responsible for rounding up all of the artifacts that were lost in the attack.

You should rendezvous with her, see if she might be able to point us in the right direction. You'll probably catch her working one of M.A.G.I.'s storehouses... with all of the minor relics that the Hellions have been caught with, they've been struggling to find safe places for all of them.

Unnecessary Solicitation

If anyone can clue us in on where to look for Pandora's Box, it's got to be Azuria.

Mission Objective(s)

This is the place that Antonio directed you to... but something's not right here. The door's been kicked in, and you can hear shouts and clanging steel in the distance.

  • Ask Azuria for Advice
    • Find Azuria
    • Speak with Azuria

Azuria gave you info that might prove useful in the search for Pandora's Box.

Odysseus and Azuria Dialogue
Briefing

Azuria looks more tired than you've ever seen her before. She pushes her hair out of her face in a distracted manner before speaking with you.

Hello, Character. I'm sorry, but I don't have the information that you're looking for.

  • So you don't know where-
No, I'm afraid not, Character. So far, Pandora's Box has managed to elude my numerous attempts at scrying, and I...
Azuria stops for a moment, blinking dazedly.
I'm sorry... you didn't even finish your question. I try not to do that, normally... I've just been stretched thin lately. Galaxy City was a disaster for M.A.G.I., and now I'm also fielding calls about Pandora's Box at least twice a day...
Sorry. I don't mean to complain. I'm just tired, that's all.
It's fine. Is there anything that you can tell me about the Box?
The Box itself seems to block any attempt I make at scrying its location. I'm sure it has some level of arcane protection built in. I've tried more roundabout methods - searching for the word 'Pandora', or anyone who might have information on the Box - but I haven't turned up much.
The best I've got is an archaeology professor from Oxford named James Harvan. He seems to have a lot of tangential knowledge about the mythos surrounding Pandora's Box, but that's all the info I can manage. I'm a seer, not a psychic.
Anyway, he's on some expedition right now, and I can't really leave M.A.G.I.'s operations in Paragon behind. If you want to look Harvan up, be my guest.
  • Thanks, Azuria.
  • Why was Odysseus-
The same reason you're here, Character. He's trying to track down Pandora's Box. Unfortunately for the both of you, I haven't been able to...

Ambush! After speaking with Azuria, you are ambushed by one wave of Warriors.
Warrior Slammer: Stop Character!

Debriefing

An expert on Pandora's Box, huh? Well, it's a whole lot better than nothing. I'll see if I can track this guy, maybe set up a meeting between the two of you. If this Harvan fellow can assist in the search, then we need to speak with him as soon as possible.
