Part One: Unlikely Allies

Briefing

Character. We don't have a lot of time to talk. I'm sure you're fully aware of the situation we're all in. Darrin Wade is attempting, as we speak, to summon Rularuu into this world. He has Statesman and Sister Psyche's powers at his disposal and is almost impossible to beat.

Wade's whole plan has left the Freedom Phalanx and Vindicators a wreck, so they're both out of the picture. Vanguard is dealing with reports of Rularuu monsters appearing all over the world, except for Paragon and the Isles. Seems like Wade is doing his best to keep everyone as spread out as possible.

That leaves you and a select few who may have the capabilities of actually stopping Darrin Wade before his plans come to fruition. As always, Vanguard is ready to do whatever it takes to face off against inter-dimensional threats. I have a few ideas of how we can handle this. Are you ready to take the fight to Darrin Wade and end this once and for all?

This arc contains elite bosses, which may be difficult to defeat by yourself.

  • Agree to form a task force

Alright, so we need to determine where Darrin Wade is and stop him from pulling off whatever he's planning, right? I've talked with the wizards in Vanguard and Dark Watcher, and we've come up with a plan.

Darrin Wade used an incredible amount of magic to kill off Statesman. Dark Watcher believes that if we investigate the scene where Statesman died, we could try to pick up Darrin Wade's magical signature and pick up his trail from there.

It's not much, really, but it's something. We could always just sit back and wait for him to destroy the world, but I think we both agree it's a little better to be pro-active, eh? We'll have a helicopter bring you over to the site whenever you're ready.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We don't have time to waste, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

Map: ARACHNOS_MODERNSYBILTEMPLE

The Vanguard helicopter was forced to drop you off at the caverns at the base of the temple due to a high number of Arachnos flyers patrolling the area.
Recluse and his army must have thought of a similar idea that Dark Watcher had.

  • Investigate the Cimeroran Temple
    • Get to the top of the Cimeroran temple
    • Defeat Ghost Widow
    • Speak with Scirocco

You've agreed to have Arachnos work together with you and discovered that Darrin Wade went into the Shadow Shard!

Ghost Widow Dialogue 

Before Combat:

Ghost Widow: Still inconclusive. How annoying. Is Scirocco almost finished with his findings?

Combat Start:

Hero
Ghost Widow: Arachnos is handling this case, Character. I'd advise you take your heroics elsewhere.
Villain
Ghost Widow: Caring about Statesman's death, Character? How unlike you.
Villain turned Hero
Ghost Widow: I had heard you defected to Paragon, Character. A traitor through and through, as I should've assumed.


Scirocco Dialogue 

Upon Ghost Widow's Defeat:

Scirocco: Hold! We're all here for the same purpose, there's no need to fight.

Scirocco

Briefing

Hero
Character, know that I hold it against you for attacking Ghost Widow, but I am willing to put aside my issues to try to bargain with you. I am sure as a hero of Paragon, you're willing to do the same.

As you can tell, Ghost Widow and I have been investigating how to track down Darrin Wade. Recluse is not pleased about Statesman's death.

Now, understand that this isn't some sort of misguided brotherly love. Recluse wants Wade dead because he possesses the power of Statesman and can be a threat to his power.

I was returning here to report that I've been able to pick up on Darrin Wade's magical signature and track where he went last. You are, no doubt, extremely capable, given how much Wade has tried to kill you all of this time. I propose that we all work together in tracking Wade down. I have the information you need, and you have the power and nobility to follow this through to the end.

  • Of course I'll work together with you, but what about your master, Recluse?
Lord Recluse will have to deal with the fact that there is a hero working with us. We are all well aware that the major forces of the world are currently spread very thin.
It's ironic, really, that it has come down to Arachnos having the most interest and organization in pulling together to track down Darrin Wade, even if Recluse's own goals aren't as altruistic as one would hope.
I should warn you, Character, to not be too trusting of the organization. Recluse will do what it takes to end Wade, but if I know him, he will not hesitate to try to take you out as well, should the opportunity present itself. I will, unfortunately, have to follow through and aid him, should the order be given to me.
  • I understand. What information do you have?
Yes, of course. Darrin Wade's signature fluctuated back and forth to various parts of the globe before suddenly vanishing. I've spoken with Operative Grillo and we've identified where his signature went; the Shadow Shard.
It makes sense, really, given all of his dealings with Rularuu. From what we could tell, he went to the Chantry, the place where Faathim the Kind resides.
I'll be heading there shortly to do what I can to track him down. I assume that I will see you in there.
  • You will.
  • Forget it, I should take you in here and now for your crimes!
Scirocco holds his hands up at your words.
Perhaps you should, Character. I've done many horrible crimes in the past, and I most likely will continue to do so. However, out of all the patrons you could be speaking to, I would nominate myself to be the most trustworthy.
I want nothing more than to stop Darrin Wade from taking over the world as Rularuu; believe me, I have had my proposals for changing the world, and having Wade rule it is not one of them.
If you wish to arrest me, there will be plenty of chances for you to do so afterwards. Right now, however, myself and Arachnos are your best chance at tracking down Wade, as much as that must boil your blood.
  • I'm keeping my eye on you, Scirocco. What information do you have?
Yes, of course. Darrin Wade's signature fluctuated back and forth to various parts of the globe before suddenly vanishing. I've spoken with Operative Grillo and we've identified where his signature went; the Shadow Shard.
It makes sense, really, given all of his dealings with Rularuu. From what we could tell, he went to the Chantry, the place where Faathim the Kind resides.
I'll be heading there shortly to do what I can to track him down. I assume that I will see you in there.
  • You will.
Villain
Character. I should've known you'd be here. Is Vanguard actually allowing you to help them? They're quite the forgiving organization, aren't they? I suppose when you want to get results, you go to the best.

I should strike you down here and now for attacking Ghost Widow, but I understand you most likely would be able to best me, much like you've bested Darrin Wade's attempts at defeating you.

You are looking for Wade, much like we are in Arachnos. I would propose that we merge our two goals together to get this task accomplished. I understand you may have a rather sordid history with Arachnos, but I can assure you that we only seek to destroy Wade utterly in all of this.

I have the information needed to track him down, but I need to know that you're willing to work together with Arachnos to do this.

  • Fine, we'll work together. Just tell Recluse this doesn't make me his lackey.
Of course, Character. You are not tied directly to the organization like I am. There is no 'lackey' title being thrown about.
Arachnos could use all the help it could get, as I understand it. We are the last major organized force who is available to go against Darrin Wade. As we speak, monsters of Rularuu are appearing all over the world. Vanguard is fighting them off, while the United Nations have requested the presence of Longbow and even the Paragon Police Department to travel abroad to help.
Lord Recluse has ordered the soldiers of Arachnos to fortify the defenses within Grandville and Cap au Diable, leaving only the patrons, himself, and a select few Bane Spiders left to handle this.
  • Alright. You said you knew where Wade was.
I do. Darrin Wade's signature fluctuated back and forth to various parts of the globe before suddenly vanishing. I've spoken with Operative Grillo and we've identified where his signature went; the Shadow Shard.
It makes sense, really, given all of his dealings with Rularuu. From what we could tell, he went to the Chantry, the place where Faathim the Kind resides.
I'll be heading there shortly to do what I can to track him down. I assume I will see you there shortly, Character.
  • Alright
  • Lower myself to working for Arachnos? You can forget about it.
You aren't working for us, Character. We would be working together, as equals. Recluse may not admit it, but I am willing to, if it means saving the world.
I am sure you have your own plans and devices for working this out in your favor. Whatever they are, they will require that we both work together. There are precious few people left in the world who have the attention to deal with this situation. You are one of them, along with the higher ups within Arachnos.
We must all pull together if we're to stop Darrin Wade from destroying everything.
  • Alright, fine, for the 'greater good' as usual. Where's Darrin Wade?
Darrin Wade's signature fluctuated back and forth to various parts of the globe before suddenly vanishing. I've spoken with Operative Grillo and we've identified where his signature went; the Shadow Shard.
It makes sense, really, given all of his dealings with Rularuu. From what we could tell, he went to the Chantry, the place where Faathim the Kind resides.
I'll be heading there shortly to do what I can to track him down. I assume I will see you there shortly, Character.
  • Alright.


Debriefing

Arachnos was there?!

...

...

Well, I guess we can use all the help we can get, Character. If what Scirocco said is true, we know where we have to go next, although I'm a little worried that this could lead to a trap.

Part Two: Into the beast

Briefing

I've talked with Dark Watcher and Lady Grey about what Scirocco told you. They both agreed that this is the only lead we have, so we might as well take it.

We've adjusted one of our portals to send you inside the Shadow Shard. We couldn't get you directly inside the Chantry, due to the various power fluctuations in the area. You'll be what I call annoyingly close and problematically far away from the Chantry.

  • ... Great

Sorry, Character, it's the best we can do. One thing I don't understand, however, is why Wade would go visit Faathim. From what I understand, Faathim the Kind is the protector of those within the Shadow Shard; he isn't anything like Rularuu. Why would someone like Darrin Wade go to a being like Faathim?

Unnecessary Solicitation

Watch out in the Shard, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

Map: OUTDOOR_SHADOW_CHANTRY

Vanguard's portal sets you down on one of the islands in the Shadow Shard.
You'll need to find Scirocco to get information on the situation here in the Shadow Shard.

  • Get Information from Faathim the Kind
    • Find Scirocco
    • Defeat Ruladak gain access to the Chantry
    • Speak with Faathim the Kind regarding Darrin Wade

You've found out where Darrin Wade's main location is!

Finding Scirocco 

Before Combat:

Wisp Overlord: You will be mmmmaade to worship Rularuu!
Scirocco: Mmmph...!

Combat Start:

Wisp Overlord: We have heard of this onnnnne!
Scirocco: Character, just in time.

Upon Rescue:

Scirocco: We have some issues, Character. I believe, however, that it is nothing we cannot handle.


Icon clue generic.png
 Faathim Imprisoned
Scirocco explained to you that Darrin Wade entered the Shadow Shard to help speed the process of Ruladak's reformation and also to seal Faathim the Kind inside of the Chantry.

Ruladak now guards the Chantry while his power begins to flow back to him. Ruladak seems to be drawing power from the monsters of Rularuu around him. As long as there are creatures belonging to Rularuu near him, he will have the chance to increase his powers.

Faathim the Kind should be able to shed some knowledge about the location of Darrin Wade, if you're able to free him from his prison within the Chantry.


Ruladak Dialogue 

Before Combat:

Revived Ruladak: I cannot be destroyed. Faathim was first, and next shall be Sarah Moore and the others in this place!

Combat Start:

Revived Ruladak: The end is here. You shall not delay it any further.
or
Revived Ruladak: I remember you, Character. I shall enjoy taking my vengeance for your role in my destruction!


Contact Small Faathim the Kind.jpg
Faathim the Kind

Briefing

Hero - If you have not completed the Faathim the Kind Task Force
Character. I greet you as Faathim, called Faathim the Kind. You have a noble aura about you, one that is only boosted by the temporary destruction of my brother, Ruladak.

Tell me what I can do to aid you.

  • I need to find Darrin Wade.

Darrin Wade. That is why you are here.

Faathim the Kind closes his eyes, seeking out Darrin Wade.

I know the man. He was outside of the Chantry. He helped Ruladak reform.

He is the one planning on bringing the Ravager into your world. He is the one who believes he can conquer Rularuu.

Perhaps he can, at the beginning. It is a clever plan, but one that will not work. He will be devoured by Rularuu, for that is what Rularuu does. Darrin Wade will maintain some control at first, but in the end, he will be consumed.

  • Where can I find him?

He is currently on an island in what you all call the Pacific Ocean.

Faathim the Kind gives you detailed information on where exactly you can find Darrin Wade.

I can only assume that he is close to completing his goals. You must hurry, Captice. Time is of the essence.

  • I will, Faathim, thank you
Villain
Character. I greet you as Faathim, called Faathim the Kind. You have a vile aura around you, and yet you destroyed my weakened brother, Ruladak.

Are you here to destroy me, or do you seek information?

  • Today I seek information, Faathim. Tell me where Darrin Wade is.

Darrin Wade. That is why you are here.

Faathim the Kind closes his eyes, seeking out Darrin Wade.

I know the man. He was outside of the Chantry. He helped Ruladak reform.

He is the one planning on bringing the Ravager into your world. He is the one who believes he can conquer Rularuu.

Perhaps he can, at the beginning. It is a clever plan, but one that will not work. He will be devoured by Rularuu, for that is what Rularuu does. Darrin Wade will maintain some control at first, but in the end, he will be consumed.

  • Do you know where Wade is?

Yes. He is currently on an island in what you all call the Pacific Ocean.

Faathim the Kind gives you detailed information on where exactly you can find Darrin Wade.

I can only assume that he is close to completing his goals. You must hurry, Character. Time is of the essence.

  • I'll handle this Faathim.
Either - If you have completed the Faathim the Kind Task Force
I remember you well, Character. I will never forget your help in defeating Lanaru the Mad. While Ruladak has reformed, Lanaru has not.

You come here seeking aid, and I shall give it. Tell me what you wish to know, and I shall do what I can do aid you.

  • Darrin Wade. Where is he?

Faathim the Kind closes his eyes, seeking out Darrin Wade.

  • I'll do what I can, Faathim.


Debriefing

Good to see you're back, Character, things are getting worse by the hour. We've gotten word that Sydney is overrun with Rularuu monsters, while London is doing their best to fend them off. We've also gotten reports of strange activity in Warburg, but it's not the Rogue Arachnos.

Heroes from Paragon are being dispatched to the worse areas of the world, along with Vanguard, but we can't be everywhere at once.

You found where Darrin Wade is right now? That's great! We'll get a fleet of ships to go there at once.

Faathim the Kind warned you that Wade won't succeed? Well, of course. People like Wade never win, but I suppose he's hedging his bets that he'll be able to keep control over Rularuu even once everything is complete.


Infernia

Background

Infernia is a NPC ally who is found during the mission Save captured psychics from Lady Grey (CoH and CoV, levels 45 - 50). She is one of the survivors of the legendary Omega Team. She will have been captured by the Rikti and in need of a rescue when you find her first, and must be freed so she can help you.

Once free, she will follow you and will attack any Rikti in her aggro range. She must be escorted to the mission exit, though does not need to survive, as the mission will not fail if she falls.

Once she is free, an ambush consisting of two waves of Rikti will attack her.

During the mission, Infernia has the hit points of a Boss of the level of the mission. Her powers are very damaging once she gets in melee range. Her survival is not paramount to the mission's success, though this may require further testing with different parameters.

Some advice would be to not bring her or her sister Glacia to fight Dra'Gon, who has some nasty Area of Effect attacks. Although it is unlikely none of the sisters will be able to gain enough aggro for him to kill them directly, the area attacks can still kill them accidentally.

As a final note, you need to free Infernia so Glacia and her captors spawn. Once Glacia is free, Dra'Gon himself will spawn.

Dialogue

EdLetter.png Editor's Note:

She will not move until she has finished saying everything... and that's a lot. It is very likely the first wave of ambushers will reach her before she has finished, so be careful not to leave her behind!


Infernia Dialogue During the Lady Grey Task Force. 
Glacia and Infernia

During the mission she will talk to no end once you free her:

Freed:

I'm Infernia. I'm with the Omega Team.
Glacia, my sister, is here, too.
We snuck in with a supply shipment, but I didn't think it was taking us home.
There's a lot I need to tell your commanders.
Is Lady Grey still in command?
Or Statesman?
Or Blue Steel? Nothing could have killed that guy.
I know we have a mission, but I've got so many questions!
Like, did anyone ever figure out what was up with the Clockwork King?
Or what about all that build-up on Striga Island?
Oooh, I wonder if my apartment in Overbrook's still there?
It probably got rented, but I'm sure dad kept the family place in Downtown Astoria.
Hey, did Manticore and Sister Psyche ever get together?
I always wondered about that.
Aw, now I can't stop thinking about eating an Up-and-Away Burger!
Most Rikti food tastes like algae unless you can get its psychic 'flavor transmission'.
This one time, Glacia and I found a wild apple tree while we were escaping a patrol. It was like heaven!
All these years. I can't believe I'm back home.

If lost:

Years on the Rikti Homeworld and I can still get lost in a base! Arrgh!

If recaptured:

I'm not getting recaptured now! THIS girl's going to margarita night in El Super Mexicano!

If refound:

Good one! Steaks are on me at In Front!

At the mission exit:

Thanks for the escort!

Ambush:

Random Rikti: Destroy: Omega Terrorist!


Information

Infernia and her twin sister Glacia spent years battling each other before the Rikti attacked. United for the first time, they fought side-by-side and voluntereed for the Omega team together. Like all members of the Omega team, their fate had been a mystery until now. Now they've returned to Earth, and they have some important news to tell.
