Contact Introduces

Multiple contact options
There are some more contacts I would like you to be aware of.
Single contact option
A friend of mine, Allison King, would like to make your acquaintance.

Level 25-29

I'd like you to introduce yourself to Ashwin Lannister from Hero Corps. They may be a for-profit organization, but they get the job done. He is currently focused on the Council and the Warriors. He has access to Training Enhancements.

Hero Corps doesn't always get the best press, but they are effective. Good luck, and keep your eyes open.

My friend Christine Lansdale is a military consultant who often helps heroes like you deal with the Sky Raiders and the Family. Through her military contacts, she has access to training enhancements.

Christine is efficient and easy to work with. I am sure you will find her a useful contact.

You should go see Collin Larson. He's a cybernetics expert and a real friend to heroes everywhere. He knows a great deal about the Freakshow and the Family. He also has Training Enhancements.

Collin is well suited to work with a hero like you, Character.

There's a woman named Laurie Pennington over at the Freedom Corps who'd like to meet you. Apparently, she's heard good things. She can provide excellent information about the Council and the Warriors. She has access to Training Enhancements.

The work that Laurie and the Freedom Corps are doing is exemplary.

Have you ever bought anything from Lorenzo Tate, the arms dealer? He can help you against the Devouring Earth and the Rikti. He has Training Enhancements.

Lorenzo is a character, but he gets the job done.

Eliza Thorpe from the Missing Persons Bureau has asked to see you. She could really use your help with the Devouring Earth and the Rikti. She needs to know what part they may be playing in the disappearance of Paragon City citizens. She has access to Training Enhancements.

Eliza will work very hard to help you. She is extremely dedicated to returning Paragon City to the hands of the people who live here.

There's a scientist named Marvin Weintraub who's quite the expert on advanced technologies, the Freakshow, and the Family. He also has training enhancements.

Marvin has done as much to help the heroes of Paragon City as anyone in the world.

Level 29-34

Allison King is psychic; She's quite adept at gathering information from people's minds. She has a great deal of knowledge about the Circle of Thorns and the Council. She works primarily with magic heroes, and has access to relic and focus enhancements.

Allison is kind, and caring. Take good care of her.

Peter Stemitz is an interesting case. People say the soul of an ancient shaman dwells within him. Both souls speak through Peter's body, which can be a little disconcerting. He has a great deal of knowledge about the Circle of Thorns and the Council. He works primarily with magic heroes, and has access to Relics and Focus Enhancements.

Be warned, Peter and the shaman will both speak to you. Expect the shift in speech.

Information

Historian

Laura Brunetti is a historian who specializes in rare books and ancient tomes. She's fluent in over a dozen languages and has been the curator of the Brunetti Archives since she took them over from her father twenty years ago. The archive contain the world's largest collection of books related to the supernatural world. Laura herself is a practicing magician, and most of her spells are used to preserve her books and unearth the lost secrets within them. When she discoveres something useful in her studies, she passes it along to one of the many heroes she knows. Laura's the first to admit that she wouldn't want to find herself face to face with the villain groups she studies. But she enjoys fighting evil in her own way, especially since the Rikti War, when her archives narrowly escaped destruction.

Prior to Introduction

I believe you should still be speaking with Active Contact.

Initial Contact

Character, I look forward to getting to the bottom of many a mystical mystery together.

Greeting

  • I want you to delve deeper into some mysteries for me.
  • I hope you will see fit to assist me with these matters.
  • I've learned something dreadful, Character.

Too Busy

You're already booked up!

I'm afraid that I am all out of mysteries for us to solve together.

Badge Mission

Template:MeritAward

Track down the Pantheon and rescue the mystics

Briefing

Several mystical and occult researchers have recently disappeared while attending a conference on early human religions. The surviving security guard's description points to the culprits being the Banished Pantheon. Fortunately, I have a lead on where they may be holding the kidnap victims. Someone has to track down the Pantheon and rescue those mystics. There won't be much time, maybe 75 minutes at most before the Pantheon completes their sacrifices. Can you do it?

You'll need to find all of the occult researchers and rescue all of them from the Banished Pantheon. I fear the only way to preserve their safety in the long term will be to defeat all of the Pantheon's creatures who took part in the researcher's abductions. Move fast. No one survives in the Pantheon's clutches for long.

Here's something to help you out. This Undead Slaying Axe has served the city's defenders before. Use it to save those mystics.

Temporary Power:

You will gain the Undead Slaying Axe temporary power upon mission acceptance.

Undead Slaying Axe Melee, Moderate damage (Lethal), Bonus vs True Undead
This massive weapon was specifically crafted by MAGI to slay the undead. The Undead Slaying Axe can be used 75 times before MAGI will recall it magically.

Mission Objective(s)

You feel like you're being watched, and not by a human being. It feels like an otherworldly presence, one that watches with an unspeakable hunger.

  • Defeat all Pantheon cultists - 1:15 timed

You have defeated the Banished Pantheon and rescued the mystics.

Enemies

Banished Pantheon

Notable NPCs

  • Irene Isabo (Hostage)
  • Cassandra Anderson (Hostage)
  • Sol Goldstein (Hostage)
  • Professor Anna Harker (Hostage)

Irene Isabo: You came just in time, Rescuer. I can get myself out, but there are more people inside!


Cassandra Anderson dialogue

Cassandra Anderson: I knew I shouldn't have gotten out of bed today

Badge


File:Badge stature 07.png Mystical Savior

You saved a cabal of mystics from being used by the Banished Pantheon.

Debriefing

If you hadn't been there, I doubt any of those people would have been seen again. One of the occult researchers you saved, Professor Harker, thinks they were abducted because of their knowledge. The Pantheon may have been trying to feed its masters more magical skill and learning. If that's the case, then the whole city owes you for this one.

Briefing
