'''Briefing'''
  
 
You know about this Blast Furnace guy and the problems he's been causing around the city as of late. However, as much of a nuisance as he's been he hasn't outright put people directly in danger, so this action on his part is a bit uncharacteristic. Coupled with the fact that Arachnos is involving themselves with this situation but not on his side, it's obvious there is more going on than what appears on the surface.

No matter what, these hostages he's holding will be the only ones who really get hurt. Longbow wouldn't allow that to happen, but with Arachnos on the scene something is bound to go wrong. If you can get those hostages to safety, then perhaps you can help Longbow take on Lord Recluse's force. Or who knows? Perhaps you can find out what got into Blast Furnace to cause him all this trouble for himself.

Fortunately, the emergency call from Longbow to their operatives contained the location where Blast Furnace is keeping the hostages. Remember, your focus is on those innocent victims, no matter what kind of chaos has been unleashed at the site.

Fire in the Hole (20-29)

Hero Morality Mission

You find an unauthorized Longbow scanner in the possession of the person you just brought to justice. Your curiosity as to how they got ahold of it is surpassed by the emergency broadcast being sent at this very moment.

A dastardly fellow by the name of Blast Furnace appears to have taken a number of people hostage and Longbow is sending people to respond. Unfortunately, for some reason Arachnos has gotten involved in the situation, and seem to be targeting Blast Furnace as well. No matter what, those hostages are about to be caught in the crossfire between all parties involved. Someone needs to save them before they become greater victims than they already are!

Fortunately Longbow said where Blast Furnace is keeping the kidnapped victims. Get the people to safety, then see what you can do to help Longbow.

  • Get the hostages to safety before they get hurt in the crossfire!


Rogues see:

WARNING: This is a Morality Mission. Completing this mission will change your current alignment of Rogue to Hero, removing any progress you may have made on any other alignment. Becoming a Hero means you will no longer be able to travel to the Rogue Isles. It will sever all ties with the Villain world.

Are you sure you want to do this?

  • Yes, I want to get the hostages to safety before they get hurt in the crossfire!


Briefing

You know about this Blast Furnace guy and the problems he's been causing around the city as of late. However, as much of a nuisance as he's been he hasn't outright put people directly in danger, so this action on his part is a bit uncharacteristic. Coupled with the fact that Arachnos is involving themselves with this situation but not on his side, it's obvious there is more going on than what appears on the surface.

No matter what, these hostages he's holding will be the only ones who really get hurt. Longbow wouldn't allow that to happen, but with Arachnos on the scene something is bound to go wrong. If you can get those hostages to safety, then perhaps you can help Longbow take on Lord Recluse's force. Or who knows? Perhaps you can find out what got into Blast Furnace to cause him all this trouble for himself.

  • Rescue the hostages before someone gets hurt, then deal with Blast Furnace.

Fortunately, the emergency call from Longbow to their operatives contained the location where Blast Furnace is keeping the hostages. Remember, your focus is on those innocent victims, no matter what kind of chaos has been unleashed at the site.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Blast Furnace's location has been broadcasted by Longbow. You need to get there as fast as you can to save the hostages. The firefight between Longbow and Arachnos is likely already at explosive levels.

Mission Objective(s)

Upon entering, you can hear the sounds of Arachnos threatening someone. The bullets on the wall show that Arachnos has already put down Longbow's initial attack.
It's up to you now - get those hostages to safety!

  • Rescue the hostages then deal with Blast Furnace.
    • Find and rescue the Company President
    • Rescue the Receptionist.
    • Rescue the Security Guard Captain.
    • Deal with Blast Furnace
    • Put down the Arachnos attackers!
    • Fend off the next wave of attackers!
    • Defeat Nocturne!

Nocturne's defeat signals the end of this conflict. Blast Furnace is somewhere far away, hopefully safe from Arachnos, and the hostages are all out. A job well done.

Debriefing

You step out of the office to see a crowd of people gathered, cheering your name.

'Character!'

'Character!'

At the front of the crowd are the three hostages you saved, who seemed to have gathered the people here for your victory.

Looking up, you can see Blast Furnace streaming across the sky, smoke spilling out from his armor. His fate is in his hands now - instead of Arachnos.
