Information

Mercedes Sheldon was born in the upper crust social elite of Great Britain. Like her father, Thomas Sheldon, Mercedes continued the family practice of antique acquisition and auction. From her father she inherited the curious ability to sense and read magic auras, thus enabling her to identify the more useful artifacts from otherwise mundane trinkets.

When Mercedes moved to Paragon City it wasn't long before she was approached by Montague Castanella and invited to join the Midnight Squad. Mercedes accepted, finding the opportunity to use her knowledge of the occult and arcane for more than personal gain to be an exciting proposition. Though Mercedes is a recent addition to the exclusive Midnight Club, she has experience and contacts from her previous years dealing with the cutthroat world of artifact trading.

Investigate the Troll Rave in Skyway City.

The Dirge of Chaos
Part One

Briefing

Character, I've heard all about you. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. But enough with the pleasantries, let's get down to business, shall we?

A troll rave in Skyway City just exploded into unimaginable violence, more so than usual. Even more intriguing is that the Freakshow seem to be involved, if not directly responsible. I want you to head over to Skyway City and defeat the Freakshow.

Mission Acceptance

Normally such street ruffians are beneath the notice or concern of the Midnight Squad, but I have my reasons for being interested in this particular incident.

Once the situation is calm you should question everyone. I want to know exactly what happened in there.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Have you determined what transpired at the rave? The Freakshow must know something, any scrap of information could prove vitally important.

Mission Objective(s)

If there are still innocent people in here, you'd better make sure they get to safety.

• Investigate the Troll Rave
  • 5 Ravers to Rescue
  • 3 Freak Leaders to Defeat

You questioned one of the ravers
Looks like you've figured out who is responsible for this mess and it doesn't sound good. Return to Mercedes Sheldon to report what you have found.

You questioned one of the ravers

Raver Tip

The rave's DJ had this to say: "This is insanity, man. These freaks just barged in and pushed me out of the DJ booth. Then this local punk show organizer named Amanda Gates came in and hooked up some shabby old cassette player to the sound system. The moment she pressed play everyone just went completely insane. It was pandemonium. I must have blacked out for a bit 'cause when I came to the music had stopped and so had the fighting. Most of the freaks stuck around, but Amanda and the cassette player were gone."

Raver dialogue

Upon rescue:
"Thank you Character, those guys were gonna pulp me."
"Why was everybody fighting?"
"Thanks for the help, Character. These Freaks totally killed the vibe we had going here."
"Character! I'm so confused, the music changed and then everyone started fighting. It was horrible."
"Oh man, I gotta get outta here!"

Debriefing

It is as I suspected, Character. This must be the Dirge of Chaos. Allow me to explain.

My family owns many antiques, relics and artifacts, some of which are magical in origin. When I joined the Midnight Squad a few months ago I had planned to move the most powerful artifacts to the Midnighter Club for safe keeping. However, before I could do so, they were stolen.

The Dirge of Chaos is one of these artifacts. I count us lucky that it has wound up in the possession of such magically inept individuals as the Freakshow, but even in their hands it could cause unimaginable damage. I need your assistance in recovering the artifact from them.

I think we work well together. Here is my number. Call on me whenever you fancy.

The Dirge of Chaos
Part Two

Briefing

We need to find the Dirge of Chaos, Character. So far our best lead is the woman seen with the Freakshow. According to the freaks at the rave Amanda is from Talos Island. I think the only option is to force the Freakshow where Amanda Gates is hiding out.

Head over to Talos Island and get the Freakshow to talk.

Mission Acceptance

Look for the Freakshow around Argo Highway and New Thebes.

Be careful, Character. The Freakshow may not be very bright, but my intuition tells me that Amanda Gates has something larger in store for us than crashing troll raves. The Dirge of Chaos is capable of destruction on a much larger scale, and it is only a matter of time before she realizes this.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Have you had any luck with getting the Freakshow to tell you Amanda's location?

Mission Objective(s)

• Interrogate Freakshow on Talos Island
  • Defeat 20 Freakshow

You got the location of the Freakshow hideout!

Find Amanda Gates

Unnecessary Solicitation

Search the Freakshow hideout. You must stop Amanda before she does greater damage.

I feel that with you I have met a true friend and ally, Character. Together we will do great things.
