Mission:Blind Faith - Part Two: Hidden Depths

Part Two: Hidden Depths

Briefing

I can use my powers to track down other powerful psychics, if your friends in the PPD will allow me.

The PPD guards discuss this for a few moments and allow Theoden to do so, though they have their guns trained on his head.

I will not betray you all, not at the moment. Hrm... yes, I can see them now. Lemkin. He is leading the Igneous along, with the obelisk. But... why Lemkin? I do not understand... this makes little sense.

• Why are you confused?

Mission Acceptance

Lemkin was extremely devoted, like myself. We never questioned the laws that were handed down to us. We only wished to serve and be our best.

Why Lemkin is going against everything we believed in, everything we followed, does not make any sense. There must be someone controlling him, an outside party. Perhaps we will find them when we find Lemkin.

He is deep beneath the earth now, most likely with the Igneous. Go, Character, find Lemkin and stop this.

The PPD have set up a remote radio that you can contact me with. It will require them to approve of the call, but you should not have to come down to this prison any longer to see me.

Unnecessary Solicitation

The longer we linger, the more likely it is that Lemkin will get away!

Mission Objective(s)

This cavern looks like it was just freshly made by the Igneous. Rocks and dust fall from the ceiling, indicating it may not be terribly stable down here.

• Catch up with the Lost
  • Track down the Lost leader
  • 3 piles of... rock?... to find to halt the Igneous assault - 5:00
  • Minions of Igneous will descend every 30 seconds!

You were unable to catch up with Lemkin, but found out where they will carry out the ritual!

Cavern Conversation

Lost Leader

Before aggro:

Reymthin: "I will deal with the heretic that Theoden has sent to us."

Combat start:

Reymthin: "The one working with Theoden has arrived. You shall be purged in the lava of the Earth!"

Ritual Site

You defeated Reymthin and were able to get him to reveal information on the ritual... 'The Igneous will provide for us a grand stage for our ritual in the Hollows! Lava will flow from the tears in the earth, and then, we shall all ascend, become greater than we ever imagined! We shall do our masters proud! With Synapse's power, we will serve them better than ever, in ways they could never imagine. The old rules said to never resort to magic, but we never understood why. Now, we know why to use the magic, the power it can bring. Our faith, our conviction is stronger than ever, they shall see!'

Enemies

Minions of Igneous
The Lost

Debriefing

Lemkin has grown overconfident. The ascension should have prevented this from happening, but it seems something went wrong. Does he truly believe his own thoughts to be above the masters we follow?

Already, he has infected the others with his way of thinking. We do not need to understand the 'why' of our rules, just that they are given to us and we must follow.

That these former brothers have a stronger conviction knowing the why of a foolhardy decision is... troubling, to say the least. I must apologize, Character. I have done my best to aid you, but every time, I have put you one step behind Lemkin. This will not happen again, I assure you.
