Mission:Tip - The Scroll of Shrouding

The Scroll of Shrouding

You find a crudely-written scroll whilst fighting crime. You roll it out and examine the writing on it...

Written in several different languages, this scroll details a ritual that involves covering the sun in a veil of darkness, leaving the City in perpetual night. Looking closer, you can see that it has been copied from the original - which was stored in a cargo ship off the coast of Paragon, along with other powerful artifacts. You do some more investigating to find the Circle of Thorns who- of course - are currently in possession of the original scroll, intending to use it to cover the city in perpetual darkness!

The Circle still needs other materials to perform the ritual of darkness that the scroll describes. If you can discover where they're gathering for the ritual, you can stop them before they can even begin it!

However, there could be even more dangerous artifacts within that cargo ship, waiting to be used by the Circle. Even if this ritual is stopped, the Circle could always get ten more artifacts from that one ship!

Hero Acceptance

Briefing

This ritual can have devastating repercussions to not only Paragon City, but potentially the whole world. Since the sun still shines, it would appear that there's still time left to stop the Circle. You'll have to storm into one of their lairs and make sure that ritual isn't completed!

Debriefing

You were able to stop the Circle from performing their ritual, though when you investigated further, you discovered the cargo ship full of artifacts has vanished - no one seems to know what has happened to it.

Another problem for another day - one you're confident that you'll be able to solve, when the time comes.

Vigilante Acceptance

Briefing

If something like the Scroll of Shrouding was in this shipment of antiquities, there's no telling what other dangers may have accompanied it. You could spend months trying to determine what is and what isn't dangerous amongst those items. Or... You could always just blow up the whole shipment altogether and be done with it in one fell swoop.

Destroy the entire cargo ship of dangerous artifacts!

It's a good thing you know where you can get your hands on some C4 wall mountings. Take a couple of them and blow up the entire warehouse with everything in it. Let's just hope there aren't any off-duty porters still milling around.

Mission Objective(s)

• Plant the C4 to destroy the cargo ship!
