New Contact(s)
I know a rather interesting fellow named Hinckley Rasmussen. He works as a researcher for the Midnight Squad and takes an interest in helping heroes like you fight the Tsoo and the Warriors. Hinckley has access to Training Enhancements.
I've been asked to keep this very quiet, but someone from the CIA wants to meet you. Her name is Kirsten Woods and she knows quite a bit about the Sky Raiders. She also thinks there may be more to the Lost than meets the eye. As a CIA operative, Agent Woods has access to Training Enhancements.
Keep a low profile when you are working with Kirsten.
Laura Brunetti could be a useful contact to you, Character. Her supernatural library is unmached, and she is an expert on the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns. She has Training Enhancements.
Laura has a keen mind and loves to get to the bottom of things. I'm certain you will find work with her enlightening.
Information
Anthropologist
Piper Irving recently graduated from Paragon University with a PhD in Anthropology. Unlike many of her classmates, she decided to stay in the city to continue her research. Her particular area of focus is the city's religion-based criminal organizations. After a few near-death experiences, she has learned that it's much better to work with heroes than on her own. She is often consulted because of her expertise on the belief systems and practices of groups like the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns. She's very enthusiastic about her work and is always looking for new help with her research.

Find Suzanne Trent
Briefing
In the wake of the Rikti War, there's been a resurgence of all kinds of mysticism. This has helped in some cases, even providing the city with new hope. But it has also caused a great deal of trouble. One new cult calls itself the Banished Pantheon. They have some sort of dark power; they can animate the dead and call spirits from beyond the grave! A reporter named Suzanne Trent was investigating them, but now she's gone missing. Please find Suzanne Trent as soon as possible.
The creatures we have seen the most frequently have been dubbed Husks; they seem to be made from the animated bodies of the dead.
Mission Objective(s)
- Find Suzanne Trent

Suzanne Trent's Story |
| When you rescued Suzanne Trent, she said:
'I've seen a lot of horrible things since I started this investigation. This Banished Pantheon cult, they're inhuman! They worship some kind of lost god-like beings, horrible prehistoric entities that feed on pain. Their chief god is Lughebu, who demands that they learn about all beings of power. Here, take this idol I discovered. I have a feeling there's some sort of dark magic about it. |
Temporary Power:
When you rescue Suzanne Trent, she will give you the Idol of Lughebu temporary power.
|
Idol of Lughebu Moderate Damage (Negative), Foe -Accuracy, Self +Hit Points When you rescued Suzanne Trent, she gave you this idol she found in the Pantheon's lair. While carrying it, you have the ability to drain the life from nearby foes, increasing your own Hit Points. The idol must be returned to the MAGI vault within 24 hours. |
Debriefing
According to Suzanne Trent, the Banished Pantheon is investigating all beings of power. I must say, that phrase has an ominous ring to it. Depending on the definition, it could include heroes like yourself.
Recover idols from the Banished Pantheon
Briefing
There was a break-in at the Paragon City Museum. The thieves stole two items on loan to the museum from Mexico, stone idols to the Aztec gods Coatilcue and Tlaloc. One of the guards identified the thieves as members of the Banished Pantheon cult. Will you recover the idols from the Banished Pantheon? They probably have the idols under magical guard; you'll need a teammate to help break their spells of protection.
I don't know the reason for the Banished Pantheon's interest in the old Aztec gods, but it can't bode well.
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat lead cultist and his coven
- 2 idols to recover simultaneously
|
Aztec idol of Coatilcue |
| This idol is dedicated to the Aztec goddess Coatilcue, the Earth Mother. |
|
Aztec idol of Tlaloc |
| This idol is dedicated to Tlaloc, the Aztec God of Rain. |
Debriefing
Recovering those idols stopped a minor international incident. From what you tell me, it sounds as though the Pantheon planned to feed on the spirits of those old Aztec gods. Fascinating. I cannot begin to fathom their motives.
