Information

Reformed Gangster

The Tsoo are a relatively new group in Paragon City, the only ethnically Hmong gang the region has ever seen. Cho Ge was a gangster years before they came on the scene, a hired gun for the Chinese Triads. When the Tsoo ousted the Triads, Cho Ge saw the writing on the wall. He left his old friends and tried to join the Tsoo, but once he understood that they were more like a cult than a gang, he decided to turn over a new leaf. He ratted them out to the police. Now, he's ostensibly a reformed gang member and an informant for those in the city who fight crime. Whether or not his conversion is complete is unclear, but he certainly seems eager and ready to help the forces of good. Then again, he's always known how to pick a winning team.

Missions

Be introduced to Jim Temblor

Briefing

Have you been to Faultline lately, Character? The City's finally begun to rebuild the place! The Circle of Thorns have moved out, and the villain populations are down. Parts of it are almost as safe as any other part of the city. But there's still a lot of trouble out there. In fact, I recently heard about a young man by the name of Jim Temblor who's having some trouble, and could use some help.

Mission Acceptance

Jim Temblor's problems mirror some of the trouble affecting Faultline as a whole. There's a lot of promise, if it doesn't get crushed beneath the weight of the past.

Oh, and take this briefing on the zone, too. It will get you up to speed on the area.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'm sure Mr. Temblor will be pleased to meet a Hero like you.

You take the briefing on Faultline.

Faultline briefing

Overbrook was built on top of one of the may tributaries leading into the small lake outside of town. Eventually, the city dammed the lake, turning it into the reservoir. Overbrook became a beautiful place, with waterfront property and gleaming skyscrapers. But this was not to last. Right after the war, the arch-villain Faultline tried to blackmail the city with his earthquake devices. A few novice heroes tried to stop him, but failed. The villain set off his machinery and leveled Overbrook. No one has heard from Faultline since, and the area adopted his name until this day. A lot of villains have crawled out of the woodwork to claim the ruins of this zone. Recently, the city's begun to rebuild the zone. It won't be easy, and the criminal elements aren't leaving. They found out that many of the pre-war supergroups had their bases there, and are now trying to scavenge the ruins. While Longbow has set up near the dam, and the PPD have done their best to keep the rebuilt neighborhood of New Overbrook safe, every hero who can patrol the area is a big help to the reconstruction effort. Faultline isn't quite the trial zone anymore, but it's not a safe place.

Mission Objective(s)

• Meet Jim Temblor

Speak with Longbow Liaison for Bloody Bay

Briefing

I'm sure you've heard about what's going on in Bloody Bay. Longbow is recruiting heroes there to fight against the villains coming in from the Rogue Isles. Go talk with the Longbow Warzone Liaison for Bloody Bay over in Skyway City.

Mission Acceptance

The Longbow Liaison will give you an appraisal of the situation in Bloody Bay. You can then make the choice whether you want to get involved or not.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Have you met with the Longbow Liaison yet?

Mission Objective(s)

• Speak to Longbow Liaison

Longbow Bloody Bay Liaison

Debriefing

Greetings, Character. I'm the Longbow Liaison for the Hero versus Villain PvP zone of Bloody Bay. Bloody Bay is a Player Vs. Player zone. Bloody Bay is VERY dangerous, and if you go there, you almost certainly will be attacked by other players. Do not enter Bloody Bay unless you are willing to engage in Player Vs. Player combat.

If you are interested in entering Bloody Bay, you can get there by climbing up to the rooftop of this building via the fire escape and talking with the helicopter pilot. Once you get to Bloody Bay, you can speak with Warzone Agent Eckman in the Longbow-controlled safe zone. She can provide you with your missions taking place throughout the zone. These missions will allow you to change the course of the battle by providing boosts to Heroes or penalties to Villains. Good luck!

Debriefing

I hope the Longbow Liaison provided you what you need to know about Bloody Bay.

Deputy Mayor: They said if I didn't do what they asked, I'd never leave here! Philantropist: They're insidious! I don't know how long I could have resisted their demands! City Council member: They're horrible! They wanted me to do the most terrible things!

Debriefing

The people you rescued are extremely grateful, Character. Apparently, the Council employs very sophisticated brainwashing techniques. If you hadn't shown up when you did, those people may have been minions of the Council forever!

Arrest every Council soldier in the warehouse

Briefing

A group of Council agents lead by Boss Name just made a huge strike against a power substation, and now they're on the run. I've received word that they're hiding out in a local warehouse. I need you to arrest every Council soldier in that warehouse. You'll have to do it before they change positions. You only have 1 hour to arrest the Council soldiers.

If Boss Name makes his escape, this mission will be a failure.

	Boss Name intended to use this escape plan to flee the country. It lists a number of Council safe houses.

Debriefing

Glad to see I can trust you with rapid response missions, Character. This escape plan you found is incredible! With this information, we should be able to prevent other Council villains from escaping justice!

Take some territory back from the Tsoo

Briefing

The Tsoo are escalating their war against the rest of the gangs of Paragon City. The situation is getting tense, and violence looks imminent. I want you to take some territory back from the Tsoo. We need a buffer zone between them and the rest of Paragon City's gangs.

Recover the scroll of the Spirit Dragon from the Tsoo

Briefing

For quite some time the Tsoo have held the Scroll of the Spirit Dragon. I think I've located the base where they're keeping it. Will you recover the scroll of the Spirit Dragon from the Tsoo? If we don't move quickly, the Tsoo may move it to anothe location. You only have 75 minutes to recover the Scroll of the Spirit Dragon.

	This ancient scroll was written in the blood of a powerful dragon. Anyone possessing the scroll is granted the knowledge of that dragon.

Debriefing

The Scroll of the Spirit Dragon once belonged to a powerful hero called Flamebreak. She died during the Rikti War, but I'm sure her family will be happy to have the scroll returned. Maybe another hero can now take up the mantle of Flamebreak.

Interrogate a few Council soldiers

Briefing

We've been seeing a lot more Council soldiers on the streets lately. I think they're gearing up for something big, and I need to find out what. Will you interrogate a few Council soldiers? Maybe you can figure out what's behind their sudden increase in numbers.

This list of targets you found should allow us to anticipate the Council's attacks. Good work, Character.

Recover some of the Tsoo's tattooing materials

Tsoo tattooing parlor

Briefing

I need to know more about the Tsoo tattooing process. I think those designs may have something to do with the Tsoo's strange powers. I've got a lead on a Tsoo tattooing parlor set up in an old office. I want you to get over there and recover some of the Tsoo's tattooing materials. Maybe you and I can get to the bottom of this mystery.

Stop the Council from training in Boomtown

Briefing

The Council has been running some training exercices in Boomtown. Unfortunately, their method of training seems to involve shelling city property. If Boomtown is ever to be recovered, someone's got to stop the Council from blowing bits of it up. I think that someone is you, Character.

Hit the streets in Boomtown and find a sample of the code

Briefing

I've received word that the Council is pioneering a new cipher in Boomtown, and is maintaining a major cell somewhere in Boomtown. If you could recover a sample of that cipher, it would really help us get a bead on the Council's current plans. I need you to hit the streets in Boomtown and try to recover a sample of that code. Can you do it?
