Briefing

Smoke and Mirrors
Part One
Exemplar Level: 25-34

Hello, Character. I knew the time was right for you to seek me out. We have much work to do if we are to save this plane of existence. It is only with your help that we have a chance of setting things right, in this time and others. Steel yourself, hero, as what is to come will test every bit of your strength and resolve. For this task, you will be required to travel into the recent past and restore the natural order of the Chronoverse. Your quest is to stop the Circle of Thorns from opening a portal to the netherworld and bringing their demonic master here to Earth. If not, all is lost. You must seek out three individuals who serve as the 'cosmic key', and keep them out of the Circle's evil hands. If they succeed... well, I can't bring myself to think of it...

Editor's Note: Story and dialog by City of Heroes' favorite comic book author Troy Hickman. Originally published in issues #4 - #6 of the City of Heroes comic book.

To do: Add Challenge Settings Template

Mission Acceptance

Are you familiar with the story of Cyrus Thompson, the hero once known as Breakneck? He and two others are the only means of bringing the demon to earth. Go through the portal and find Cyrus and bring him back here, that I might keep him safe.

If you can keep Cyrus out of their clutches, their master will forever be confined to his own nightmarish realm.

One of the Thorns has dropped a yellowed slip of parchment detailing the shape and dimensions of the mystic symbols that must be drawn during the ceremony to bring their master to earth.

Debriefing

You did not find Cyrus Thompson in that time? Odd, perhaps there is more going on here than I first anticipated.

Though you were unable to thwart the kidnapping of Cyrus Thompson, you did strike a formidable blow against their evil. we must stop them from abducting the other two innocents, however, or soon I fear the causality field will ripple forward and all will be lost, now and through eternity.

Your assistance shows your appreciation of me and my lost people. Thanks is given.

Rescue Jimmy Preston from the Circle of Thorns

Briefing

Smoke and Mirrors
Part Two

You can still save the child, Jimmy Preston. Shortly after Cyrus was taken from the train station, Jimmy was abducted from his tenement in Kings Row. I've found a report from that time filed by operatives from MAGI saying they "sensed" a child being held in a nearby warehouse. I believe this is Jimmy Preston. It's imperative that we rescue young Jimmy, as he is even more important that the matter at hand, but... I cannot tell you any more about the "coming storm" without putting it all at risk. just know that with the advent of their master's arrival, the Circle of Thorns grows ever stronger.

Are you up to this task?

Mission Acceptance

Go back and find Jimmy, you must bring him forward so that he can be removed from the events of his time.

Unnecessary solicitation

Why have you returned without Jimmy Preston? Go... save him in time... for the sake of the world!

Mission Objective(s)

The Circle of Thorns are here and looking for Jimmy.

  • Save Jimmy Preston
    • Defeat Juikon

You've defeated the Circle of Thorns Boss.
You've defeated the Juikon, but the Circle of Thorns managed to get away with Jimmy Preston.

Primary Enemies

Notable NPCs

When Confronted:

Ah, we were warned you might find us. Well, no matter, as we are more than a match for your pathetic 'powers'!
Destroy them, my minions, that our master's coming may proceed!
Balloon.png Juikon: The time draws near we must take this brat to the ceremony.

Juikon: Make sure his bonds are secure and remove him from this place.

Debriefing

This is most unforunate. The Thorns were able to escape with young Jimmy, taking him to who knows where. I wonder how this will affect his future as---well, let's not get sidetracked. There's still a chance if we can get to the last cosmic key before the Circle of Thorns do.

Perhaps, if more of your kind are like you, there is hope for humanity and Kheldian alike.

Go to the Atlas Park fashion show and keep Candy Lebeaux from being abducted.

Briefing

Smoke and Mirrors
Part Three

There was a beautiful woman, a model, named Candy Lebeaux. She was last seen at a fashion shoot in Atlas Park some time ago. She must be the third key to the Circle of Thorns plan. If you can go back there and keep her from being abducted, the Circle of Thorns can never complete their plan.

Mission Acceptance

The safety of Candy Lebeaux is our last hope! Save her, Character!

Unnecessary solicitation

There is no time for backtracking! Save the model, save the world!

Mission Objective(s)

Missing Entrance Message

  • Save Candy Lebeaux
    • 7 Fashion Victims
    • Defeat Sitrix

You have defeated the Sitrix and saved all of the hostages, but Candy was not among them.

Nerva Spectral Daemon: Finally, something to kill.
Fashion Victim: Hey, nice outfit.
Balloon.png Fashion Victim: Thanks
Fashion Victim: I'll try to remember you.
Balloon.png Fashion Victim: I love your outfit.
Balloon.png Fashion Victim: You really pull off that outfit, Character.
Balloon.png Fashion Victim: Thanks for like helping my career.
Balloon.png Fashion Victim: I know the real reason you're here.
Fashion Victim: You want my digits don't you?
Balloon.png Fashion Victim: Who does your hair?
Balloon.png Mandy Lebeaux: I'm MANDY Lebeaux, you tool! Candy is my twin sister! We were doing this shoot together!

Now she's GONE!
It's all your fault!

Icon clue generic.png
Candy's Twin Sister
Mandy Lebeaux is Candy Lebeaux's twin sister. They were working together at the fashion shoot in Atlas Park. She wasn't too happy to hear that you were there to rescue Candy, and failed.

Debriefing

No! They've managed to capture all three of them! We have little to no idea where they will perform their arcane ritual.

But... there might be a chance. Given the clues we've accumulated, I might be able to divine an area where the ceremony may take place. It's a slim chance, and even if you can find it, the odds of you going back to exactly the right time and of you defeating their assembled forces are practically nil. Still, I have faith in you, Character.

Find the Circle of Thorns and stop their heinous ceremony

Briefing

Smoke and Mirrors
Part Finale

With all three keys, Baron Zoria can start the ritual that brings his nearly-omnipotent master to earth. There is a very small window of time in which he can do so, however. If you can find that exact moment in time to interrupt the ceremony, even for a few seconds, he will lose that opportunity.

Can I count on you to stop this evil?

Mission Acceptance

The world of today and tomorrow needs you! Go and stop this ceremony before it's too late.

Unnecessary solicitation

There are mere moments left to save the earth, and time itself! Go now!

Mission Objective(s)

The temporal energy crackles off of you as it collides with the mystic power around you.

  • Stop the Circle of Thorns
    • Rescue Jimmy
    • Rescue Candy
    • Defeat Baron Zoria

You have saved Jimmy Preston and Candy Lebeaux, thus, thwarting Baron Zoria's attempts to summon his demon. Regretfully, Cyrus died before you could arrive.

Balloon.png Baron Zoria: The thirteen bells have begun to toll. The time of our master is at hand!

Cyrus Thompson: I don't think so.
Cyrus Thompson: I might not be Breakneck...
Cyrus Thompson: ...But I'm still a man.
Cyrus Thompson: And one who can stand on his own two feet...
Cyrus Thompson: ...at least for a mite longer.
Baron Zoria: You shall be the first to die!
Cyrus Thompson: AAH!
Cyrus Thompson: maybe sometimes...
Cyrus Thompson: That's enough...

Balloon.png Candy Lebeaux: That you so much! I don't mind a broken nail or some smudged make-up, but demons are something else altogether!
Balloon.png Jimmy Preston: Yayyy! I hope you can save Mr. Cyrus? I like him a lot!

Missing Clue

Debriefing

Rarely have I seen such acts of heroism, in this time or any other. You have honored all those who come before you, and you have set a standard for all those that will follow. I salute you, Character. And grieve not for the noble Breakneck. As a man of the future, I can assure you that his legacy will never die.
