Mission:Revenge: Serve Chilled - Part Two: Loose Ends
Part Two: Loose Ends
Briefing
The Chronicles of Doom had all the information about the Talons of Vengeance. The only other information I have on them is in this old witch's tome describing an ancient and mysterious cavern where they found a source of great and terrible magical power.
There are a number of spells in it which I have been trying to learn... I mean, as like, a pastime thing, just for fun, not really seriously, you know?
One of them is a spell that can steal the power to see or commune with spirits, the sort of ability a medium possesses.
- Let me see that book
We need to find that cavern, I'm sure it has something to do with the Talons of Vengeance and Sorceress Serene. It seemed like Diabolique knew Serene from her past, perhaps they were witches in the same coven together.
While you talk to the Carnival, I am going to be studying Cerulean's little magical doorway. Maybe I can figure out how it works so we can follow him to wherever he went.

A Witch's Spell Book |
| This ancient tome's worm eaten leather binding is stained with a number of shades of red and smells like a musty cellar. The pages within, however, appear timeless, with thin angular writing and finely drawn diagrams explaining a number of ancient and powerful rituals. A thick grey cord of what appears to be braided human hair marks a page where a ritual to steal spirit sight from mediums is detailed. |
Visit Blind Makwa
Unnecessary Solicitation
I don't know what good having a blind medicine man will do, but I suppose any allies are good allies.
|
Ambush! Upon accepting this mission, you are ambushed by one wave of Talons of Vengeance. Zealot: Your fate is sealed, Character! |
Briefing
Ah, Character. The sun rises in the west hotter than ever, there is war on the horizon and I sense great fear on the wind.
What brings you to me?
- I have a book with a spell to steal spirit sight.
The witch's spell book? You found it!?
- I'm not sure if it is the same one that stole your sight.
This is wonderful news. But I must ask, how did you come by this book?
- (Explain the Talons and the alliance with Master Midnight)
Blind Makwa nods occasionally as you tell your tale. When you mention the name Serene, however, his cloudy eyes widen and his mouth opens with a gasp.
Character, you must find Nadia and warn her of Serene before it is too late!
- Is she in danger?
Serene was the name of a witch in the same coven as Nadia years long past. There isn't time to explain, but only Nadia can undo Serene's spell and return my sight to me, and Serene undoubtably knows this.
Nadia is very likely in grave danger!
- (Go warn Nadia)
|
Nadia is in danger |
| Upon learning of Sorceress Serene's return, Blind Makwa tells you that Nadia and her used to be in the same coven. With Master Midnight's old witch's spell book and the spell to return his sight to him, Blind Makwa tells you that Nadia is almost certainly in danger as Serene will likely wish to ensure that Blind Makwa's spirit sight remains hers and hers alone. |
Warn Nadia
Unnecessary Solicitation
If Nadia is the only person who can undo the spell then Serene will certainly want her killed.
Briefing
What can ol' Nadia do for you, chil'?
- Nadia, you're in danger...
Calm. chil', calm. Explain what danger I be in.
- Sorceress Serene has released the Talons of Vengeance.
Nadia seems unaffected by this news
So...Sister Serene is alive...
It must have been she who took Blind Makwa's spirit sight.
But why would she want me dead? There was never any bad blood 'tween us.
- Because with this book you can restore his sight.
Ahhh, bless you chil', you be full of surprises this day.
But you are right, Serene would seek to stop me from returning Blind Makwa's spirit sight. It would show the truth of things.
Character, the Talons of Vengeance are killers through and through. If Serene indeed commands them, then your prediction of their arrival is as good as truth.
- We need to get you out of here and to the Chapel.
The time for that is passed, the Talons be here already. Now is the time when the fates choose how this story will end.
- Would the fates mind if we got inside rather than fight them on this rooftop?
I cannot speak for the fates, but fate does favor the prepared. Best we do it soon, I can feel the rage of the Talons approaching as we speak.
- Fight the Talons (Enter Mission)
Mission Objective(s)
The Talons have already breached the building. You'll need to clear them out if you are to keep Nadia safe.
- Warn Nadia
- Clear the building of the Talons of Vengeance
- Protect Nadia
- Defeat the Talon ambushes!
You stopped the Talons of Vengeance from killing Nadia.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Nadia (Lieutenant)
|
|
Ambush! Upon entering the mission you will be ambushed by eight waves of Talons of Vengeance, with one last one to follow. |
Talk to Nadia
Unnecessary Solicitation
If the Talons tried to kill Nadia then she must be very important, perhaps she can utilize that witch's spell book that I gave you.
Briefing
Thank you chil', you have saved my life from a fate most terrible.
I will head to the Chapel to see what can be done about Blind Makwa's spirit sight.
As for Serene and the Talons, I think they will choose to consolidate their power before they try something like this again.
Debriefing
So, the blind old man is going to get his sight back, and the creepy witch doctor lady is safe and sound. Sounds like you were successful in your quest!
Well, I'll have you know that I too accomplished a great feat of magical mastery, so today we are both heroes and deserving of a fine reward.
Character. Fate, it seems, has brought us together. If EVER you are in need, know this; there will always be a place for you in my party.
