Nearby Sobbing Scrapyarder (20-29)

You hear the sobs of a grown man nearby. Investigating, you see it to be a scrapyarder, his face in his dirty hands, sobbing loudly. On the floor next to him is a piece of paper, covered in his tears. You pick it up and read what it says...

The Scrapyarders have staged another rally in Sharkhead. This is one of the smaller ones, but it is imperative for us to keep this under control. We will send in a squad to the following location to break up the rally and capture their leaders. Report the success to me when everything is completed.

Remember, my success is also your success. If I look good, and you look good, well, then that's all the better towards our progression in Arachnos. All hail Lord Recluse!

Operative Vargas

The location given here has the Scrapyarder rally taking place in a warehouse where Cage Consortium stores many of its "red coral shards". It seems like it happened some time ago - meaning by now Arachnos is rounding up the leaders of the Scrapyarders.

Rescuing those Scrapyarders from Arachnos will earn favor from them - but more importantly, you would get free access to precious red coral shards in the base.

However the Scrapyarders wouldn't have formed that rally without someone backing them - this someone probably being a hero from Paragon City, trying to give them some sort of organization.

Villain Acceptance

Briefing

It was easy enough to find out who exactly was helping the Scrapyarders organize this rally - the hero Stalwart.

It's simple to find where he's holed up in Sharkhead - Scrapyarders just love their warehouses. There's no telling what kind of annoyances this could cause if the Scrapyarders have a hero backing them. Today they're protesting Cage and Arachnos - tomorrow they could be getting in YOUR way. It's best to stop Stalwart here and now.

  • Kick Stalwart out of the Isles!

You head off to take down Stalwart and his band of Scrapyarders. Why he thought this was a good idea is anyone's guess - but you'll show him just where exactly his misplaced heroics will get him.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Stalwart will never see this coming.

Mission Objective(s)

The warehouse smells of sweat and lost hopes. More so the former, but when you're done here the latter will fill the air.

  • Defeat Stalwart!
    • Defeat Stalwart!

You kicked out Stalwart from the Isles. That's hopefully the last you'll be hearing from him. Not that it matters - he comes back, rinse and repeat.

Debriefing

You've kicked Stalwart out of the Isles, crushing whatever movement he was trying to start within the Scrapyarders. Hopefully that'll teach a lesson to any other heroes in Paragon who might be thinking about doing 'charity work' in the Isles.

Rogue Acceptance

Briefing

Cage Consortium works the Scrapyarders to their very bones - which means the warehouse they're in should be full of precious red coral shards - a precious item in Sharkhead, when they're not attached to giant slag monsters.

However, to get the red coral shards, you'll have to rescue the captured Scrapyarders within there - they'll be thankful to be freed and it'll buy you some time to collect some of those shards for yourself.

  • Save the Scrapyarders and steal the red coral shards.

The Scrapyarders aren't necessarily bad people...save for the ones that toss dynamite like it's going out of style. It's time to go bail some of them out of a bad situation and make yourself some money while you're at it.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You better be prepared to lug all those shards out from the warehouse.

Mission Objective(s)

The ground is littered with bloodied protest signs and papers. Arachnos is mopping up the stragglers now.

  • Salvage the Scrapyarder Rally!
    • 3 Red coral shards to find!, 2 Scrapyarder Leaders to rescue

You saved the Scrapyarder leaders and made off with several barrels of red coral shards!

Random chatter 

At mission start

Arachnos: You'd think they would learn to just give up on them already.
Arachnos: There's word that the Scrapyarders have another hero backing them now.
Arachnos: I really hate the idealists in the Isles.
Scrapyarder Leader: Down with Arachnos! Down with Cage! I'll never be silenced!


Scrapyarder Leader rescue dialogue 

Combat start

Arachnos: Character huh? Didn't peg you for a Scrapyarder sympathizer. You won't be around for much longer!
Arachnos: How many people are supporting the Scrapyarders now?!
Arachnos: We've got some problems!

Once freed

Scrapyarder Leader: Thanks, Character. I owe you one. I can get outta here easy, just watch out for the Arachnos goons here.


Debriefing

You rescued the leaders of the Scrapyarders, who were extremely thankful. One of them even gave you some spare pieces of red coral shards they collected. Who said charity doesn't pay off?
