Gold Plated Monocle
Alignment Mission
You find a gold plated monocle just laying on the ground. You pick it up and see that it's actually just fake gold, so it wouldn't really sell for any money. However, there seems to be some sort of microchip embedded into the glass part of the monocle. You put in some legwork to get the microchip analyzed and find that there was a video contained inside of it...
The video seems to be taken in an abandoned laboratory. You see Crey scientists doing experiments on one of the Cabal witches. A scientist clears his throat and begins to speak in a monotone voice, describing how they are trying to figure out a way to scientifically measure the magic that the Cabal uses in order to transplant it into the Crey Paragon Protectors. The witch lets out a scream, pleading for anyone to help her and that whoever helps will be greatly rewarded. At that point, one of the Crey guards knocks out the witch. As the video finishes, the Crey scientist reveals the location of the lab and that the video is for classified eyes only.
Yet another unethical and ridiculous experiment being performed by those within Crey. What a surprise. What really caught your attention was the witch offering a possible reward for her rescue. This might be something that you could make a profit on, as long as it isn't too difficult going up against Crey.
HERO: Save the Cabal from Crey!
You're not too sure where Crey's experiments are going to lead them, but it's just too bad for them that you're going to be rewarded by this witch and any other possible witches for saving their lives. You figure they could have some very powerful magical artifacts to give to you, especially if it means that they're going to be back with their sisters in Croatoa.
You'll have no time to lose. If Crey gets away with this experiment, they'll have new Paragon Protectors out in force and you'll never get that reward from those witches!
Unnecessary Solicitation
Every minute wasted is time spent not getting that reward!
Mission Objective(s)
There's a magical air in the area. The Cabal are here and alive, along with their Crey captors. The Cabal are known for their powerful magics; it should be interesting to see what they would offer in exchange for their lives.
- Save the Cabal from Crey
- Rescue the Cabal Witch
- Ask the Witch about your reward
- Rescue the Cabal Witch's Sister
- Ask the next Witch about your reward
- Rescue the last Cabal Witch
- Ask the final Witch about your reward. It should be interesting. Really.
- Destroy Crey's files on the Cabal
- Fend off Miss Thystle
- Explain the situation to Miss Thystle
Well, you've saved the day. But not your paycheck.

Notable NPCs
First Cabal Witch dialog
Before Combat:
- Scorpinoid Trooper: Excellent. This data should do nicely.
- Cabal Witch: Ugh...
Combat Start:
- Cabal Witch: What...? Who are you?
- Scorpinoid Deathstalker: Character?! How did you find out about this place?!
Once Rescued:
- Cabal Witch: What are you doing here...?
First Cabal Witch conversation
You have my appreciation and my thanks. I assume you saw the video that was taken?
I have two other sisters that are being kept within this laboratory. Please, you have to help them! Crey plans on killing them once they learn of their secrets. We are all bound, our souls one. If one of them were to die, we would all die!
- Alright, I'll save them. What about that reward?
Ah, yes. Here, now that I am free, I can create this for you.
The Cabal Witch spins her fingers as a small crystal appears in your hands.
This crystal will prevent you from getting headaches as long as you carry it. It was given to me by my mother on her deathbed, who was given it by her mother. It holds much personal value, but I will give it away to one as heroic as yourself. I must be off now, please, help the others!
... the reward was stopping you from getting headaches?
- ... Headaches. Life saver. Thanks.
Second Cabal Witch dialog
Before Combat:
- Cabal Witch: Just... leave me be...
- Scorpinoid Trooper: You know we can't do that. You could've made this easier if you just told us about your magics.
Combat Start:
- Cabal Witch: What are you doing here...?
- Cabal Witch: Did my sister send you?
- Scorpinoid Deathstalker: More interruptions? Deal with this!
Once Rescued:
- Cabal Witch: I did not think I was going to make it out of there...
Second Cabal Witch conversation
Thank you so much, I'm eternally grateful for all of your help. Perhaps I was wrong about outsiders, you may not be so bad.
- Right. So... that reward...
My sister promised you a reward? Hrm... Yes, you do deserve something for saving my life. Here.
The Witch twirls her fingers as a red orb appears in your hand.
This orb will be able to tell you the exact patterns of a weather forecast wherever you are. I do hope that is enough for you. This orb was passed down throughout my family for generations. It is one of the most valuable things that I have, but you deserve it now.
I must go join my sister, but please, there is still one of us left in there!
You're starting to get the feeling that these rewards might not really be what you bargained for.
Third Cabal Witch dialog
Before Combat
- Scorpinoid Trooper: It will end here. Just know that you'll be part of a breakthrough in Crey Industries.
- Cabal Witch: It can't end here... I can't let my sisters down...
Combat Start:
- Cabal Witch: You... what are you doing here?
- Scorpinoid Deathstalker: Character! We can't let this get out to the public!
Once Rescued:
- Cabal Witch: Thank you for the rescue.
Third Cabal Witch conversation
Thank you so much! My sisters must have sent you, I'm sure.
I believe that no good deed should go unpunished. I do have a reward for you.
- Is it a family heirloom that you cherish and hold very dear to you?
The witch looks at you with a raised eyebrow.
Yes, as a matter of fact, it is. This item was given to me by my mother, who received it from one of the great heroes of the Cabal. It has been treasured in my family for many years, but I am willing to part with it to give you thanks.
The witch twirls her fingers as a ring appears on the palm of your hand.
This ring will prevent the sun from burning your skin, though things such as fire and what not will still do the job. It was very useful for us when we would have to toil in the fields and work to earn the right to use our magic freely.
- Sun screen ring. You're the last one, right?
I am, but Crey has documented what they've found on us so far. Please, you must destroy it or else they may use our own powers against us!
I will go to rejoin my sisters and we will spread the word of your brave deeds!
Miss Thystle ambush dialog
During Combat:
- Miss Thystle: Character is here, we've got it on good word to believe that they're working with Crey!
- Miss Thystle: You're a monster, Character! Tell us where the witches are!
- Miss Thystle: How could you live with yourself, doing this to them?
- Miss Thystle: They may not be the best of people, but giving them over to CREY?!
Miss Thystle conversation
What are you doing here, Character? Where are the witches? What have you done?
- I -rescued- them. RESCUED. For barely any reward, I'll have you know!
... You did? But you did it for a reward! I can't believe -
- (Cut off Miss Thystle and explain what the rewards were)
... Oh.
Well.
It looks like we really don't have any issues here. The day is won and the witches were saved. It was... er, good working with you, Character. I'll let the authorities know that there aren't any issues here.
Debriefing
Well, you might as well have done this job for free. Out of all the powerful artifacts that the Cabal could've given you for their lives, you received items that will now allow you to not get headaches, never get sun burned, and you'll always be able to tell what the weather will be.
At least the authorities now have you listed under the, 'Do Not Arrest On Sight' page.
