Get the Platonic Solids away from the Warriors

Briefing

The Warriors recently got their hands on the Platonic Solids. They're ancient ritual tools of the Cult of Pythagoras, which practiced an abstract branch of magic based around geometry and geometric mathematics. A single solid is potentially capable of folding reality, time, and probability. I need someone to get the Platonic Solids away from the Warriors before they accidentally unfold space and time. You only have 90 minutes to recover the artifacts.

Mission Acceptance

There's a rumor that the Warrior leader behind those thefts is trying to revive the Pythagorean cult.

Unnecessary Solicitation

If the Warriors learn how to use the Platonic Solids, it could mean a lot of trouble. Get them out of their hands.

Temporary Power

I do have these for you, a set of Geometric Gauntlets. They were made to allow someone to handle the Platonic Solids safely, but they have an additional use. They can temporarily fold space around an enemy, holding him in place.

Geometric Gauntlets Ranged, Foe Immobilize, -Fly
This Geometric Gauntlet creates a localized gravitational field strong enough to immobilize a single foe. The target can still attack, but cannot move. It is also powerful enough to bring down flying entities. There are 75 charges.

Mission Objective(s)

The grafitti on the walls has a strange geometric precision.

  • Defeat gang leader and his crew (Timed, 90 minutes)
    • 4 Platonic Solids to recover

You have defeated the Warriors and recovered the Platonic Solids.

Notable NPCs

Platonic tetrahedron
The refracted depths of this crystalline solid are hypnotic. You have to pull yourself away and concentrate on the task ahead.
Platonic hexahedron
As you look through the facets of this crystal cube, you can see glimpses of other worlds.
Platonic icosahedron
Each facet of the 20-sided crystal reflects alternate versions of the last few seconds of time.
Platonic octahedron
This eight-sided crystal is cracked and dark.

Debriefing

You make the hardest fights seem easy. The Platonic Solids are safe, and you managed it before the Warriors did any damage with them. Actually, my MAGI contacts tell me we were pretty lucky. The Octahedron was cracked centuries ago, and the most powerful Platonic Solid, the Dodecahedron, was lost in the destruction of the Library of Alexandria. Still, if they'd learned enough, the Warriors might have been able to make new ones. The city owes you again.
