Part Two: No Escape

Briefing

The only idea I have still lies with Kadabra Kill and Sigil. Something... bizarre happened while you were gone, Character.

Kadabra Kill approached me, without his wife. There was something different in his voice, a sort of... hopelessness in his tone. Sort of how that woman was talking to you. He told me that he was going to investigate a nearby office for clues towards the nature of the monstrous women and the beast that had awakened.

However, he didn't seem all too convinced that he would find anything.

  • Did Sigil follow him?

Yes, she ran off right away when I told her what happened. She seemed to have an idea of what might've been going on. I tried to follow her, but, well, I'm just a plain civilian. I'm not going to risk leaving these runes.

Heather sighs, rubbing the bridge of her nose.

I'm just an architect, Character, I was never supposed to be involved in something big like this. I know it's not much to go on, but I think you can find something else out if you go to this building.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Be careful, Character. Dark Astoria has no safe havens outside of these runes.

Mission Objective(s)

You saw winged creatures flying around the building before you entered it, like sharks circling in on their prey.
The Knives of Vengeance must be after Kadabra Kill and Sigil, but are they somehow controlling the power that
devoured the Knives of Artemis assassin?

  • Investigate the Dark Astoria building
    • 3 Knives of Vengeance leaders to find clues from
    • Find Sigil and Kadabra Kill
    • Defend Sigil from the Banished Pantheon
    • Get information from Sigil

You've learned the name of the slumbering beast in Dark Astoria - Mot. The Tsoo might have more information for you to use.

Briefing

No... Kadabra... why did you think that you caused me pain?! I chose all of this... it wasn't your place to decide that it wasn't right!

  • What did he mean when he talked about pain? (A)
When we were young, we had gotten into some... Trouble. I won't bother with the details, but in the end, I chose to give up my soul so that Kadabra would keep his.
He and I have been seeking a way to recover my soul ever since. I suppose these Knives of Vengeance believe that Kadabra somehow cheated, that he should have been the one to have his soul taken. They seem to think that they're doing me a favor in all of this, but I chose for this to happen.
I would do anything to help my husband, and he anything for me. But now it seems the darkness here has twisted his mind, making him believe that he was in the wrong.
  • The darkness - Mot? What does he have to do with the Pantheon? (B)
I've only heard rumors, nothing substantial. There may be others who can help you, though.
The Tsoo have been fighting in Dark Astoria for years. If anyone would have information about Mot, it would be them.
I need to recover myself and find my husband, Character. I can't let him be taken by these women or this city. If I need your help, I will let that woman, Heather, know. I know we can count on you to help us in our time of need.
  • What, what is it that your husband did? (Repeat A)
  • Alright, I'll look into the Tsoo.
  • Who's this Mot, and what does he have to do with the Pantheon? (Repeat B)


Icon clue generic.png
Too Much to Do
The Knives of Vengeance that you fought said something about there being too much work for them to do. Have they been created specifically to bear someone else's burden?
Icon clue generic.png
Purpose of Vengeance
You defeated one of the monstrous women in the Knives of Vengeance and tried to get information out of her. However, the woman's eyes glazed over before dying seconds after you defeated her.

It seems that the Knives of Vengeance have only one purpose, and if they are defeated, then their purpose is used up.

Icon clue generic.png
The City of Punishment
You defeated one of the leaders of the Knives of Vengeance, who mentioned that people seem to be summoned to Dark Astoria to pay for their sins. She specifically mentioned Kadabra Kill, Sigil's husband.

Are the Knives of Vengeance focusing on Dark Astoria because of this?

Debriefing

Kadabra Kill has gone missing now, too? I can understand, I think...

The longer I stay in this place, the more my mind has been wandering to my past, to those memories I regret. I thought I'd made peace with it, but... there's just something about this city, Character. Maybe it's all just from this Mot creature.

Sigil was right, though. I think the Tsoo can help us, and I think we were lucky enough that I saw some of them before.
