Check out the Carnival of Shadows (40-45)

Briefing

Have you heard of that new Carnival that has come to town recently? The Carnival of Shadows? It's become very popular in a short time, but something about it just doesn't feel right to me. They're planning on a performance over in the Faunton Park neighborhood later today. Would you check out the Carnival of Shadows?

  • Check out the Carnival of Shadows

You'll need to take the Light Rail to get to Faunton Park. Just in case there's trouble, I've asked the city to erect an emergency force field around the area. I can't say why exactly, but I'm pretty sure there's something amiss.

Clue
Playbill

The sick grin of a clown on this brightly-colored playbill startles you. You could swear you've seen a similar smile on the faces of your many enemies. The text within promises the reader a night of unparalleled pleasure and wonderment. It's obviously designed to appeal to Paragon City's edgier crowd: those who equate terror with excitement.

Investigate Carnival performance

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need to know if the Carnival of Shadows is up to more than mere parlor tricks.

Mission Objective(s)

You hear the laughter of a dozen voices. It seems like everyone here is having a good time.

  • Investigate Carnival performance
    • 3 people to rescue, Defeat Carnival Mistress!

You saved the citizens from the Carnival of Shadows.

Clue
The audience member's story

One of the citizens you rescued from the Carnival of Shadows told you:

'I don't remember much, but I know I had a great time! I hear these guys are doing another performance over in the Cassidy Industrial Park. Maybe you should check it out.'

Stop 2nd Carnival performance

Unnecessary Solicitation

That carnival performance sounded pretty sick to me. You better take the Light Rail over to Cassidy Industrial Park and stop the second act.

Mission Objective(s)

Several of the carnival attendees are still caught up in the act, but many of the screams you hear are not of excitement, but of terror.

  • Stop 2nd Carnival performance
    • 3 people to rescue, Defeat Carnival Mistress!

You saved the citizens from the Carnival of Shadows.

Debriefing

It sounds as if the Carnival of Shadows is turning Paragon citizens into puppets for their own amusement. Diabolical. What's even worse is that the citizens have no idea they're being manipulated. They think it's all part of some amazing act! Character, I don't like the sound of this one bit. I'm going to put the word out on the streets about the Carnival. And you better keep an eye on their activities.
