Elegant Party Favor

You've found a favor from a gala party. You investigate further.

The party this favor is intended for is a debut event for new inductees to the Carnival of Shadows. Young socialites like these debutantes flock to the Carnival for excitement and debauchery, and wind up permanently ensnared as part of DeVore's retinue.

It appears as though there still may be time to prevent the girls from being taken over by the Carnival. Interceding now might convince them to change their ways and not descend into villainy.

On the other hand, it's difficult to imagine the debutantes haven't already grasped the depths of DeVore's depravity. If they're willing to throw their lot in with the Carnival, who are you to stop them from paying the inevitable price?

Hero Acceptance

Briefing

Vanessa DeVore's Carnival of Shadows continually recruits the young and rich of Paragon's high society. These young women will not be the last to fall for her promises.

They may even believe they are joining of their own free will, but you're confident that they can still be saved. The debauch is probably in full swing by now, so expect heavy Carnival resistance. After all, you are trying to take away their playthings.

Prevent the debutantes from being inducted into the Carnival of Shadows.

The party is going on in a nearby warehouse. You should find the debutantes inside.

Mission Objective(s)

The party isn't at fever pitch yet. There may still be time.

  • Rescue the Debutantes!
    • 3 debutantes to rescue

You've prevented the Carnival from claiming these young women.

Ambush! An ambush of Carnival of Shadows will show up after freeing the last hostage.

That one is ours, Character!

Debriefing

You've turned a few young women away from the path of the Carnival of Shadows. You won't allow the city's youth to be corrupted by the likes of the Carnies.

Vigilante Acceptance

Briefing

The young and rich who flock to the Carnival of Shadows need to learn that there are serious consequences to their actions. These young victims won't be the last by far, and unless you take a stand the number will only continue to grow.

One thing that might stand a chance of getting through their thick skulls is the harsh reality that heroes arrest Carnival members - regardless of the length of their membership. By taking these debutantes down on the very day of their induction, their peers might thick twice about the Carnival as a life choice.

See that the debutantes' careers as Carnies are the shortest on record.

The party will be in full swing soon. That will be the time to strike and put an early end to the festivities.

Mission Objective(s)

As you enter you hear an ear-splitting cheer. The guests of honor have just put on their masks.

  • Defeat the Debutantes!
    • Defeat Debutante Raquel, Defeat Debutante Melody, Defeat Debutante Hannah.

You took down the Carnival's new recruits in record time.

Debriefing

You arrested the debutantes at their own induction ceremony. Young socialites everywhere now fear the same treatment. Now maybe they'll think twice and truly consider their options before joining up with these villains.
