Alright, the [[Family]] has got some problems down at the docks.  It seems those Scrapyarders have been riling up the [[Dockworkers|dockworkers]], causing all kinds of grief for the Family there.

== Story Arc ==

=== Carpe Diem ===

'''Souvenir:''' Broken Seashell 


This is a broken seashell taken from the costume of the hero known as the [[Sea Witch]].  You took it as a souvenir of a tale you like to call:

'''Carpe Diem'''

It all started when Lorenz Ansaldo asked you to solve a problem for the [[Family]].  A hero known as the Sea Witch was attacking various Family-owned cargo ships, the latest being the Carpe Diem.  They've been having trouble tracking her down, so they decided to hire a freelance villain to help them.  The only clue the Family had was that she had worked with a group known as the Legacy Chain in the past.  Invading a [[Legacy Chain]] base, you interrogated their leader, Arcanist Stigand.  He revealed the Sea Witch had a relationship with a Scrapyarder leader known as Iron Billy.

Rumor had it that Iron Billy was hanging out somewhere in The Crush on [[Sharkhead Isle]].  Interrogating a bunch of [[Scrapyarders]] yielded you Iron Billy's hideout.  Fighting through mobs of his Scrapyarder allies, you managed to kidnap Iron Billy.

The Sea Witch agreed to a final confrontation on the Carpe Diem, the ship she earlier put out of commission months back.  Fighting through her Legacy Chain and Scrapyarder allies, you finally took out this enemy of the Family.


==== {{UL|Find Information on Sea Witch}} ====

'''Briefing'''

Ay yo, we got a problem.  You ever hear of this dame known as the [[Sea Witch]]?  She's some kinda hero who patrols the waters of the [[Rogue Isles|Rogue Islands]], lookin' to cause problems for us honest businessmen.  She's been attackin' a few Family smuggling... er... shipping vessels including the Carpe Diem, and the [[Family]] wants to put her down for the count.

Trouble is, she's pretty hard to find.  We been lookin' for her awhile, and the only thing we found is she sometimes works wit' a group called the [[Legacy Chain]].  You heard of 'em?  They're these mystic nutcases who are out to bring order to chaos or some such.  Whatever!  We found where a bunch of these Legacy Chain goombas are hiding out, and we need a heavy to go in and interrogate their leader.  With the proper, ahem, persuasion you should be able to find out more on this Sea Witch.

Those Legacy Chain fellas got a lot of magic mumbo-jumbo backin' them up.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Interrogate Legacy Chain leader|Secondary=Defeat leader and minions|Additional=|Completion=}}

'''Debriefing'''

So, the Sea Witch has got a sweetie within the Scrapyarders, eh?  Sounds like we got some bait for our hook...


==== {{UL|Kidnap Iron Billy}} ====

'''Briefing'''

Nice work on interrogating that [[Legacy Chain]] leader!  So the [[Sea Witch]] is all lovey-dovey with a [[Scrapyarders|Scrapyarder]] leader named Iron Billy, eh?  I think it's time to bring things to a head.  Rumor has it that Iron Billy was last seen in The Crush.  Find and kidnap Iron Billy!

Those miner scum are just a bunch of upstarts.  Give 'em hell!

Nice work!  I'll put the word out on the street that we got Iron Billy.  Then we just wait until the Sea Witch comes runnin'!  Capisce?


==== {{UL|Take Down Sea Witch}} ====

'''Briefing'''

Our plan for taking down the [[Sea Witch]] is going well.  When you interrogated the Sea Witch's [[Legacy Chain]] allies you found out she had a sweetie among the [[Scrapyarders]], a guy called Iron Billy.  You managed to track down and kidnap him from his hideout in the Crush.  Sure enough, the Sea Witch has come callin' and wants a final confrontation at the Carpe Diem, the wrecked ship off the Port Recluse docks.

It's time to finish this.  Go to the Carpe Diem and take down the Sea Witch.

You might want to take some friends, Villain.  She's a pretty touch broad and I hear she's REAL angry about you kidnappin' Iron Billy!

We want some of our boys to soften 'em up for ya.

This dame has been a thorn in the [[The Family|Family]]'s side for too long.  End this.

[[The Family]] has had many business ventures with the Council in the past.  Recent negotiations went sour when one of their officers insulted [[Emil Marcone]].

=== {{UL|Talk to Siren's Call Warzone Liaison}} ===

'''Briefing'''

You've heard of [[Siren's Call]], haven't you?  Frankly, it's a war zone right now.  [[Lord Recluse]] is looking to push into [[Paragon City]] from there, and Paragon City is trying to push right back.  It wouldn't do any harm to your reputation if you were to head over there and throw down for [[Arachnos]].  Why don't you go talk to the [[Warzone Liaison]] in [[Sharkhead Isle]]?  I'm sure he could use your help.

''Siren's Call is a PvP zone, where you may be killed by other players.''

The liaison can help you find the right contacts in Siren's Call.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Talk to Warzone Liaison|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

{{Mission Briefing|Type=Debriefing|Contact=Arachnos Warzone Liaison|Text=If you know anything about [[Siren's Call]], you know that it's a bloodbath in there.  Don't go in if you can't handle that.  If you're tough enough, though, you can talk to [[Warzone Operative Massey|Operative Massey]].  He's got the skinny on all sorts of missions that will help swing the battle in Arachnos' favor.  Or you can talk to the Arbiter at the Arachnos 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'''

The takeover of Siren's Call is one of the crucial elements of Lord Recluse's plan.  If you can make your name there, it'll make a big difference to your reputation with Arachnos.


=== {{UL|Investigate Invisible Freakshow}} ===

'''Briefing'''

Ay yo, we got some problems at the docks.  We got some [[Freakshow]] jackin' supply crates from the docks.  Normally, this wouldn't be a problem the [[The Family|Family]] couldn't handle themselves, but there's somethin' different about these Freakshow.  When we tried trailing them, they seemed to just disappear!  That's right, we're dealin' with invisible Freakshow!

Now you know why we're lookin' for professional assistance.  Track down and take out whoever is responsible for making these sneaky freaks!

Nothin' worse than a Freakshow appearin' outta nowhere.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Defeat doctor and assistants|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

'''Debriefing'''

You took down the Freakshow doctor that was makin' those sneaky Freaks?  Beautiful.  The Family owes you one!


=== {{UL|Get Wormy from Longbow}} ===

'''Briefing'''

We need you to get rid of somethin' for us.  We've got a piece of evidence we want gotten rid of, permanent-like.  Problem is that [[Longbow]] is on to us, and has got our guy with the evidence trapped in a warehouse.  Head over to the warehouse and get [[Wormy]] out of there!

We can't have this evidence falling into the right hands.  Capisce?

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Get Wormy out of warehouse|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

When you lead Wormy to the exit door, he says, "That does it!  I'm through with this racket!" and throws down the body bag that he's been carrying.

'''Notable NPCs'''

* [[Wormy]] 


'''Debriefing'''

You got him out?  Nice work.  I could never stand that smarmy little runt, but I guess he didn't give up the evidence to those Longbow jerks either.


=== {{UL|Take out the Marcone Family Boss}} ===

'''Briefing'''

We got us some [[The Family|Family]] problems.  Y'see, there's two major families that are controllin' the docks, the Marcone and Verandi families.  The Verandi family has recently experienced an untimely death, and certain clues point to the Marcone family as the perpetrators.  The Verandi want to give the Marcone a warning that they are not to be messed with.

Let's show the Verandi that we need to keep things civil within the Family.  Beat them down!

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Defeat the Family leader and his guards|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}


{{Mission Clue|Name=Marcone's Defense|Text=Falco Marcone relates that they were as mystified by the Verandi death as anyone.  Some of Falco Marcon'e men saw a guy sticking his nose around the warehouse before the Verandi death occurred!  Falco managed to track the troublemaker to an old warehouse on the docks, but hadn't been able to find him yet.}}


{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Find the Scrapyarder troublemaker|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

'''Debriefing'''

So it was a Scrapyarder that caused the deat of that Marcone.  They was tryin' to start a gang war!  Well we're definitely gonna have to lay the boots to those Scrapyarders to prevent 'em from pullin' a stunt like that again!
