Stop the university students from performing the Circle's rituals

Briefing

There's a group of people who I think may be in trouble. They were all in the Magic Society, a school sponsored club over at Paragon City University. When they started investigating the rituals of the Circle of Thorns, the chancellor disbanded the club, but I think he may not have been fast enough to stop the Circle from returning the students' interest. A source told me they're planning to perform some Circle rituals in a nearby clearing. I need you to stop the university students from performing the Circle's rituals. I very much doubt they know what they're getting into.

These are good kids, Hero. They just need to be steered back to the straight and narrow. I've called in a few favors and had an emergency force field erected around the area. I hope I was fast enough to keep the Circle off their backs.

Mission Objective(s)

A bag of chips and some sodas lie forgotten on the ground. From the clearing, you hear a single scream, then silence.

  • Defeat all villains in area
    • 5 students to find

You defeated the Circle of Thorns and rescued some students

Enemies

Notable NPCs

  • Sheila (NPC Hostage)
  • Ken (NPC Hostage)
  • Sam (NPC Hostage)
  • Shelly (NPC Hostage)
  • The Ghost of Donald (NPC Hostage)

Ghost's story
The apparition of Donald, the dead boy, told you:

"...Robby had this...weird...thorn. He stuck in it... into his heart... before any of us could stop, he stuck it right in his heart!... and then ...he wasn't Robby anymore. He talked different... smiled different... walked different... but he still seemed to know me... he asked if I'd like to be like him... powerful and free... I guess I... sort of nodded... he grabbed me and started whispering... magic words... I'd never heard before... And I was outside my body... He said when they were through with us, they'd try the Dewar Corporation next. That's where his dad works.

I think I have to go now... I think I have to go..."

Ghost's body
This is the corpse of the ghostly student you encountered. There is no mark of violence upon it, it seems as if the boy's soul was simply wrenched from his body


Mission Objective(s)

Dewar Corp. is one of the world's premier manufacturers of plastic. You can't imagine why it should interest the Circle of Thorns, unless their interest is personal

  • Defeat lead mystic & his coven
    • Discover Circle's plan

You saved some of the people from Dewar Corp. and found a note outlining the Circle's plan

Enemies

Notable NPCs

  • Hostage x2 (NPC Hostage)
  • Robby's Dad (NPC Hostage)
  • Ghost x3 (NPC Hostage)

Note
This note bears the hastily scribbled fragments of many incantations. It says: "The effect of the spell is still not certain. A larger test will be required. If all Founders' Falls can be severed from their bodies, it may be possible to do the same to all of Paragon City"


Mission Objective(s)

You tracked one of the Circle of Thorns' mystics back to this outpost of Oranbega. You hope you'll be in time to stop the Circle's vile plot

  • Stop Circle's soul severing rite
    • 6 ritual stones to destroy

You defeated the Circle of Thorns and stopped their plot to sever the souls of everyone in Founders' Falls

Enemies

Notable NPCs

  • Arales (Agony Mage) (Boss)



Debriefing

It's staggering to think of the damage those students almost caused. By attracting the Circle's attention, they nearly caused the death of every person in Founders' Falls. I'm sorry this Robby kid went over to the dark side like that. From everything his friends tell me, it seems he was a nice kid, a little intense maybe, but kind and sincere. I guess sometimes the need for power can make a person snap. As soon as he got a taste of it, he couldn't stop himself from wreaking havoc.
