'''Demon Hunter'''
+
 
+
Hardcase is a professional demon hunter. Demon hunters as a general rule don't live very long, so the fact that he is a veteran is a testament to his skills or luck. Hardcase has come to St. Martial to deal with the demons who plaque the area, and is looking for freelancers who aren't afraid to tuss with the monsters.
+
 
+
=== Initial Contact ===
+
 
+
Demons. St. Martial is full of 'em. That's why I'm here. They call me Hardcase, and I'm a demon hunter. I don't care what your story is. All I want to know if you're tough enough to deal. If you are, then maybe we can do some business. If you're not, then I suggest you slink back to whatever hole you crawled out of.
+
 
+
== Story Arc ==
+
 
+
=== Silver Tongue ===
+
 
+
This is a silver forked demon tongue.  It's all that's left from a Wailer King demon known as Silvertongue after you defeated him in a tale you like to call:
+
 
+
'''Silver-Tongued Devil'''
+
 
+
It all stated when Hardcase spoke with you about getting rid of a demon problem for a lady in return for a big payoff.  She wanted to get rid of a Wailer King known as Silvertongue who she inadvertently made a deal with.  hardcase had you start interrogating the [[Wailers]] to see if you could find Silvertongue's true name - it turned out to be Cacophonix!
+
 
+
The next step was getting a banishing ritual.  No one knows mroe about demons than the [[Circle of Thorns]], so you taided one of their temples to get the materials for the ritual.
+
 
+
Hardcase passed word the lady who made the deal with Silvertongue was trapped in a warehouse with the demons closing in on her.  since she was the payoff, it was important to get to her in time.  Confronting Silvertongue there, you found that the whole mess was set up by the demon!  The banishing ritual was useless against him since he passed on a flase true name.  You managed to defeat Silvertongue anyway, but he promised to return again.
+
 
+
=== Sold for a Song ===
+
 
+
'''Souvenir:'''  Johnny Sonata Tickets
+
 
+
These are a couple of [[Johnny Sonata]] tickets.  You got these as a reminder of a tale you like to call:
+
 
+
'''Sold for a Song'''
+
 
+
It all started when Hardcase the demon hunter got you to beat down some [[Wailers]] on [[St. Martial]] and collect their essence in a crystal pendant.  You got the job done, and Hardcase related the Wailers had a 'resonance' having to do with sound and music, possibly something on St. Martial itself.
+
 
+
Hardcase wanted to know more, and sent you to interrogate some [[Circle of Thorns]] mystics, known demon summoners.  You found that one of the Circle mystics known as Karvost had made some deals with the Wailers.  Heading to Karvost's lair, you interrogated the mystic to discover that he had learned to control them through a book known as the Tolshak Mysteries, hidden in a Circle temple beneath [[Sharkhead Isle]].
+
 
+
Raiding the Circle of Thorns temple on Sharkhead Isle, you ransacked their libraries to find the Tolshak Mysteries.  You took the book back to Hardcase who began to unlock its secrets.
+
 
+
Hardcase was recently visited by Daniel  Hawthorn, a man who had made a pact with the Wailers.  He reneged on the deal however, and was being hunted by the demons.  Hardcase wanted to know the details of the pact, so sent you to get to the man before the demons did.  After you rescued Daniel Hawthorn, he told you the deal:  they'd provide him luck in the casino, and he'd destroy one of the seals on the Golden Giza.  Hardcase theorized that the demons were bownd to the seals in some way.
+
 
+
Hardcase decided to ask an expert in magical matters, and requested a divination on the seals from the [[Archmage Tarixus]] on Sharkhead Isle.  Tarixus required a boon first, asking you to eliminate some of his Circle enemies on Primeva.  Once you succeeded, he sent the results of the divination to Hardcase.  Hardcase revealed the seals were not there to bind the Wailers to the Golden Giza, but to keep them out of Babylon!
+
 
+
Hardcase still had the question of who was behind the building of the seals.  He sent you to the local property office to find out more info on Babylon and the Golden Giza.  there you found that major architectural reconstruction was done by none other than the star singer of the Golden Giza, [[Johnny Sonata]]!  Hardcase speculated Johnny had sold his soul to the demons for a song, but then found the means to prevent them from getting at him.  Hardcase was frustrated: killing Johnny to solve the Wailer problem would be difficult, and was not the guaranteed solution.  Hardcase was consigned to hunt demons until a clear path was apparent.

'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
I'm here to deal with the demons around St. Martial, but I can't solve the problem until I have a better understanding of what makes these demons tick. Take this pendant - it was created to capture the essence of Wailer Demons you defeat. There's an old warehouse nearby which has been overrun with Wailers. Steal the essence of all the Wailers there and return the crystal pendant to me. Once the crystal pendant is full, I'll be able to get a better idea of what we're dealing with.
+
 
+
A warning: the demons can sense the nature of the pendant, so they may come after you!

Huh, interesting. From the look of the crystal, these Wailers have a certain demonic resonance linked with sound and music. It's probably something on St. Martial itself that is drawing them here. But what?

I may be an expert demon hunter, but there are others who know more about demons. That'd be the Circle of Thorns - their whole shtick is about souls and demons. I want to know what they know about the demons running about St. Martial. Interrogate the Circle of Thorns about the Wailers.
+

There are some powerful Circle mystics here on St. Martial and on the [[Nerva Archipelago]]

You've been getting some good info on these Wailers. You got more information on the nature of the demons through the resonance crystal, and tracking down and stealing the Tolshak Mysteries from the Circle of Thorns was very valuable. But we need to know more.
+
 
+
I got some idiot who came to me screaming about a deal with the devil, and how he wants out. He was all paranoid, and took off on me when he tought he saw something on a rooftop looking down at him. If we rescue his sorry self, we might be able to get some details on the contract he made with the demons. Rescue Daniel Hawthorn from the Wailers.
+

Last time I saw him he was heading off towards the slums of St. Martial. You can take this truck there.

So they want to break one of the seals on the Golden Giza, eh? Demons are sometimes bound by seals - perhaps someone wants to keep them bound to the Giza? I need more info.

==== {{UL|Get info from Tarixus}} ====
+

'''Briefing'''
+

We got some good info on these Wailers: they have a resonance having to do with sound and music, and they're trying to break the seals on the Golden Giza. We got what the Circle of Thorns know about them from the Tolshak Mysteries, though it's going to take a while to unlock those secrets.
+
 
+
There's another source we ain't tapped yet. You heard of the Archmage Tarixus? He's a ghostly dude with some major mojo back on Sharkhead. He might be able to provide us with some insight - for a price. There's always a price. Get whatever information Tarixus can provide.

'''Briefing:''' [[Archmage Tarixus]]
+
 
+
I am aware of Hardcase's wishes. Yes, I can provide you with assistance by performing a divination on the seals of the Golden Giza. However, I wish you to do something for me first. The Circle of Thorns have been trying to gain control over my spirit form. Even now they perform rituals on Primeva in the hopes of destroying my magical wards. I wish to punish them for their insolence! Go to Primeva and cull the Circle of Thorns! Once you have done this, I will perform the divination and tell Hardcase the resuslts.

I have received the results of the divination from Tarixus! The seals aren't mean to bind the Wailers to the Golden Giza - they're there to keep the demons out of Babylon! Something the demons want is inside the Golden Giza, and it's only the seals that are keeping them out. If the seals break, it means that St. Martial is going to be overrun with demons, and we're ALL dead.

==== {{UL|Steal Babylon property records}} ====

So someone wants to keep the Wailer demons out of Babylon, eh? I'd like to find out who. I found out where the property records for Babylon are being kept - this may provide us a link to whoever finnanced the building of the Golden Giza. Raid the office where the property records are being kept.
+
 
+
You might have to deal with some private security there. A lot of money flows around St. Martial, so you can be sure these guys are top-notch.

So, Johnny Sonata is the guy who finnanced the buildings of the wards? Huh. It sounds like the demons are after him, likely because of some deal he made which came due.
+
 
+
Normally I'd just deal with this problem by killing Johnny. Johnny is a demon-caller, and I got no respect for them. Johnny is dead, his soul is released, and the demons have nothing to go after. But you can bet Johnny has got some sort of supernatural backup. Also, if the Wailers have been after Johnny this long, they may just tear St. Martial apart in frenzy after losing Johnny's soul!
+
 
+
I guess until we find some way to kill this pact between Johnny and the Wailers, we'll stick to hunting demons.
+
 
+
=== Johnny Sonata Techno-Remix ===
+
 
+
This techno-remix recording of the star of the Golden Giza on [[St. Martial]], the crooner known as [[Johnny Sonata]].  You have it as a reminder from a tale you like to call:
+
 
+
'''Pied Piper'''
+
 
+
It all started when Hardcase contacted you about a horde of [[Wailers]] attacking a warehouse in The Hard Way.  Investigating, you found a gang of [[Freakshow]] with sound modifications being swarmed by Wailers.  After you dealt with the situation, you found a bunch of music discs on the Freakshow, including a techno-remix of [[Johnny Sonata|Johnny Sonata's]] greatest hits.  Hardcase speculated the Wailers were attracted to the music!
+
 
+
Hardcase saw this as an opportunity to draw the Wailers away from St. Martial.  He sent you to go after Trey Belcleff, one of the Freakshow's sonic techies.  Getting to Trey, you got him to build a sonic transmitter capable of attracting the Wailers from a distance.
+
 
+
Hardcase picked a target for the sonic device: [[Paragon City]].  You snuck over to the mainland and  planted the sonic transmitter in the sewers beneath Paragon, avoiding patrols of [[Longbow]] who caught word of your presence.  You managed to plant the device, giving a momentary reprise from the Wailers for St. Martial.
+
 
+
=== Carnival Party Hat ===
+
 
+
It all started when Hardcase asked you to help deal with [[Wailers]] stealing souls from people in [[St. Martial]] who didn't deserve it.  Hardcase isn't the bleeding heart type, but he does believe in protecting his own.  You agreed to help out and managed to save a few of the working stiffs of St. Martial from having their souls ripped away.
+
 
+
It seemed as though the soul raid by the Wailers on the streets of St. Martial was just the beginning.  Hardcase got the call about demons running amok in the offices in the Golden Giza.  This worried Hardcase, as the Giza never had demon problems before.  He sent you there and you dealt with a Wailer King known as Silvertongue.
+
 
+
Hardcase wanted to know more about the Wailers plans.  He knew the [[Circle of Thorns]] were trying to broker many pacts with the Wailers, and so sent you to raid a Circle temple and interrogate its leader to find out more.  The Circle leader told you the demons were trying desperately to break the wards around St. Martial which were preventing them to get into Babylon and the Golden Giza, to get at someone inside there.  Hardcase speculated the Wailers' goal was to get to [[Johnny Sonata]].
+
 
+
Hardcase got a tip there was a [[Carnival of Shadows]] leader named Paradox seen in the casino offices before the Wailer attack occurred there.  Tracking her to an abandoned warehouse, you found she was making deals with the Wailer King Silvertongue!  She spoke of an upcoming 'Chaos Affair' the Carnival was hosting.
+
 
+
Hardcase didn't like the sound of what was to come, so sent you to get more information from the Circle on the street.  You found the 'Chaos Affair' was being led by a Carnival leader know as Lady Deveraux, as well as the time and location of the event.  They're planning on destroying one of the warding statues keeping the Wailers out!
+
 
+
You went to try and prevent the warding statue from being broken and the Wailers from overrunning St. Martial.

There's all kinds of banishing rituals you can perform when dealing with demons. Some rituals require true names of demons, some rituals require a part of the contract they made with a mortal, some require rare magical ingredients. Needless to say, it's a good idea for a demon hunter to have as many as possible at your disposal - a banishing ritual for all occasions.

I got an associate on [[Sharkhead Isle|Sharkhead]] who is willing to pass one on to me in return for a future favor. Retrieve the banishing ritual from the Archmage Tarixus.

I hate the Circle of Thorns. Their mystics are responsible for bringing in more demons into this world than anyone, and that ain't healthy for anyone, hero or villain. Y'see, if demons get their toehold into our world, they won't stop until they rule it all - including you and me.

There's some weird stuff going on  with the Wailers. I hear they've been seen diggin' tunnelsin the sewers beneath Babylon and the Golden Giza. Considering there's no demons found inside the Golden Giza, they must be trying to avoid something which is keepin' them out. If they succeed, they will wreck Babylon, which'll kill the money flowin' through St. Martial. Stop the Wailers from entering Babylon.
+
 
+
Take out all the Wailers. We can't risk any of them getting into Babylon.

==== {{UL|Find cause of Wailer attack}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
Hey.  I got word that all hell is breaking loose in a warehouse down in Hard Way.  Nothing new considering what the Hard Way is normally like, but in this case there's a LOT of [[Wailers]] there.  I don't know if it's some sort of ward they're after there, or [[Johnny Sonata]] tried to make a break for it or what, but it's worth checking out.  Head over to the warehouse and find out what's causing these Wailers to attack in such huge numbers.
+
 
+
You might want some backup - there's a LOT of Wailers in there!
+
 
+
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=In the distance you hear discordant music accompanied by the screams of Wailer demons.|Primary=Find cause of Wailer attack|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=You found the cause of the Wailer attacks!}}

'''Primary Enemies'''

{{Enemy Wailers}}

+
{{clue}} Wailer Freakout
+
 
+
It all started when Hardcase contacted you about a horde of [[Wailers]] attacking a warehouse in The Hard Way.  Investigating, you found a gang of [[Freakshow]] with sound modifications being swarmed by Wailers.  After you dealt with the situation, you found a bunch of music discs on the Freakshow, including a techno-remix of [[Johnny Sonata|Johnny Sonata's]] greatest hits.  Hardcase speculated the Wailers were attracted to the music!
+
 
+
'''Debriefing'''
+
 
+
The [[Freakshow]] had a [[Johnny Sonata]] remix which drew the Wailers?  Damn.  We might just be able to use this to our advantage...
+
 
+
==== {{UL|Steal sonic device}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
Those sonic [[Freakshow]] who were playing the [[Johnny Sonata]] techno-remix which attracted the [[Wailers]] gave me an idea.  If we could get hold of some of the sonic tech, we can plant a device on another island and draw the Wailers away from [[St. Martial]]!  I know the name of a techie who's working for the Freakshow leaders on St. Martial developing their sonic tech.  Get Trey Belcleff from the Freakshow to build you a sonic device.
+
 
+
Once we capture Belcleff, we can get him to construct the sonic device to attract the Wailers!
+
 
+
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=Off in the distance you hear a discordant squeal from a loudspeaker.|Primary=Steal sonic device|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=You got the sonic device!}}

{{clue}}  Ultra Mega Boombox
+
 
+
This oversized boombox is a sonic transmitter built by the Freakshow sonic techie Trey Belcleff.  It is loaded with a cycling techno-remix of [[Johnny Sonata|Johnny Sonata's]] greatest hits.  The [[Wailers]] of [[St. Martial]] are attracted to the music!
+
 
+
'''Debriefing'''
+
 
+
This'll be perfect.  Now we just need to pick a good target.  I have something in mind...
+
 
+
==== {{UL|Draw Wailers to Paragon City}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
So we found the [[Wailers]] were attracted by the techno-remix of [[Johnny Sonata|Johnny Sonata's]] music, and managed to get a [[Freakshow]] sonic techie to make a heavy duty sonic transmitter.  Now all we need to do is plant it somewhere off of [[St. Martial]]...
+
 
+
I know - let's put it in [[Paragon City]].  Let those hero jerks deal with the Wailers when they come after it.  They'll probably find the device after a while, but it'll give St. Martial a break from the Wailers for a while at least.  Plant the sonic transmitter in the Paragon City sewers and make sure there are no nearby witnesses!
+
 
+
'''Mission Acceptance'''
+
 
+
I have a boat waiting in Nerva to take you to Paragon City.  [[Longbow]] usually watches for villains going in and out of the Rogue Isles, so keep an eye out for them.

==== {{UL|Rescue casino patrons from Circle}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
Our old friends in the [[Circle of Thorns]] are up to no good.  They've been nabbing some folks from the casino to use as bait for the [[Wailers]], and that's no good for the bottom line in [[St. Martial]].  Rescue these people from the Circle of Thorns.
+
 
+
We got to keep the money flowin' in St. Martial, so let's get those casino customers back.
+
 
+
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=The air crackles with magical energy.|Primary=Rescue casino patrons from Circle|Secondary=5 casino patrons to recover|Additional=|Completion=You recovered the casino patrons!}}

You got 'em back?  Good.  They can't spend their money at the Golden Giza if they're dead!
+
 
+
==== {{UL|Break up negotiations}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
Well, it looks like even the [[Wailers]] are even trying to make pacts with the [[Tsoo]]!  I doubt the Tsoo are going to buy into it, but the sum total is the same: if the Wailers get an edge, it could mean [[St. Martial]] being overrun by demons.  Break up the meeting between the Wailers and the Tsoo!
+
 
+
'''Mission Acceptance'''
+
 
+
No need to start a war with the Tsoo, but at least take out the negotiators.
+
 
+
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=You hear angry shouts in the distance.|Primary=Break up negotiations |Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=You broke the negotiations!}}

==== {{UL|Rescue kidnap victims}} ====

+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
I consider [[St. Martial]] my home, and the people who work in St. Martial my people.  Well, I just got word some of my people have gone missing.  Some [[Council]] goons came chargin' in and loaded up a bunch of the locals into trucks.  I heard they do experimentation on people they kidnap, and that just ain't cool.  Not on my people.  This ain't your regular thing, but I want you to rescue the kidnap victims from the Council base.
+
 
+
'''Mission Acceptance'''
+
 
+
No mercy.

==== {{UL|Stop the Carnival pact}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
The [[Carnival of Shadows|Carnival of Shadow]] have been causing problems again.  They've been making some deals with the [[Wailers]], gaining power over them by luring people away to use as bargaining chips in pacts with the demons.  The Carnival has just taken a bunch of people from a local tenement for the Wailers, and that just ain't cool.  Stop the Carnival from carrying out their deal with the Wailers.
+
 
+
If we don't prevent these people from being kidnapped, the Wailers are gonna gain more power in [[St. Martial]].  Besides, no one deserves their souls ripped away by demons.  No one.
+
 
+
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=The shadows seem to be playing tricks on you.|Primary=Stop the Carnival pact|Secondary=3 kidnap victims to free|Additional=**Defeat negotiators<br>|Completion=You stopped the Carnival pact!}}

==== {{UL|Rescue victims from Wailers}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
There's something going down, but if you're one of those, 'I want to eat human brains' types, then I got nothing for you.  Look, we may be villains, but we still live here.  I do what I do to make my life easier, but I don't go out of my way to hurt people who don't deserve it.  I make my own destiny and I don't care about the laws unless someone's strong enough to stop me.  But I ain't a monster.
+
 
+
Y'know those [[Wailers|Wailer demons]]?  Well, they been goin' around [[St. Martial]] collectin' souls from people who don't deserve it.  When demons take out people they make pacts with that's one thing, but when they start pickin on folks just mindin' their own business, that's when I gotta step in and kick some demon butt!  If you're still here, then I guess you see things my way.  Head over to the slums in St. Martial and protect the people from the Wailers.
+
 
+
There may not be too many innocents in the Rogue Isles, but there's such a thing as protecting your own.  That's where I'm coming from.
+

"It all started when Hardcase asked you to help deal with [[Wailers]] stealing souls from people in [[St. Martial]] who didn't deserve it.  Hardcase isn't the bleeding heart type, but he does believe in protecting his own.  You agreed to help out and managed to save a few of the working stiffs of St. Martial from having their souls ripped away.
+
 
+
'''Debriefing'''
+
 
+
Apparently, there was some sort of astrological conjunction which allowed the Wailers to seize souls without making a pact with them first.  You did a good job ni protecting our own.  You got my respect.
+
 
+
==== {{UL|Defeat all Wailers in office}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
We got us a problem.  I got a call about some Wailer demons breaking into an office in the Golden Giza.  There ain't been problems in the Giza with demons before, so we best take care of this pronto before it develops into something worse.  Clear the [[Wailers]] out of the casino office.
+
 
+
Make sure you clear all of 'em out.  Even one escaping could mean a whole lotta problems.
+
 
+
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=You hear a crash and the scream of office workers.  The demons are here.|Primary=Defeat all Wailers in office|Secondary=Stop Silvertongue from escaping!|Additional=|Completion=You defeated the Wailers!}}

+
 
+
It seemed as though the soul raid by the Wailers on the streets of St. Martial was just the beginning.  Hardcase got the call about demons running amok ni the offices in the Golden Giza.  This worried Hardcase, as the Giza never had demon problems before.  He sent you there and you dealt with a [[Wailers#Wailer_King|Wailer King]] known as Silvertongue.
+
 
+
'''Debriefing'''
+
 
+
Silvertongue the [[Wailers#Wailer_King|Wailer King]] was there?  This demon problem is getting worse by the minute.  We gotta deal with this.
+
 
+
==== {{UL|Disrupt Circle plans}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
I don't like these increased demon attacks around [[St. Martial]].  First, regular joes on the street, then an attack on the Golden Giza itself.  We gotta get to the root of these attacks.
+
 
+
The [[Circle of Thorns]] have been trying to control the [[Wailers]] for awhile, so they might have insight into what the Wailers are up to.  Hit a Circle of Thorns hideout and interrogate their leader, Karthist, on what they know about the Wailers' plans.  While you're there, free a couple of the sacrifice victims they recently nabbed from St. Martial.  Again, these are just folks that done nothin' but get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
+
 
+
'''Mission Acceptance'''
+
 
+
Karthist is a bit of a coward and will likely try to run when things get rough for him.  Don't let him escape!
+

{{clue}} Circle of Thorns Interrogation
+
 
+
The leader of this Circle of Thorns temple relates his knowledge of the Wailers plans.  Apparently, the Wailers are desperately trying to get break through wards scattered around Babylon trying to get to someone within the Golden Giza.
+
 
+
'''Debriefing'''
+
 
+
Huh.  Well, it's nothin' really new.  We already knew the demons were wanting to get into the Giza, and by all accounts it's likely 'cuz they want to get to the Giza's star, [[Johnny Sonata]].  Looks like Johnny's luck is starting to run out.
+
 
+
==== {{UL|Interrogate Paradox}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
Listen up.  We know the [[Wailers]] are trying to break into the Golden Giza, and we've got a pretty good idea why.  I just got more info on that raid the demons made on the offices by the casino.  Apparently, there was one of the [[Carnival of Shadows]] nearby there acting suspiciously, a woman named Paradox.  She was recently seen heading into the Hard Way to an abandoned warehouse.
+
 
+
'''Mission Acceptance'''
+
 
+
Paradox has a rep for dealing with all sorts of supernatural entities.  Don't be surprised to run into a few there.
+
 
+
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=Out of the corner of your eye, you see a shape disappear into the shadows of this abandoned warehouse.|Primary=Interrogate Paradox|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=You got some information from Paradox.}}
+
 
+
{{clue}} Paradox Interrogation
+
 
+
Paradox from the Carnival of Shadows relates that one of the local Carnival leaders named Lady Devereaux made a deal with the Wailer demon known as Silvertongue.  She would sneak into the offices at the Golden Giza to break a few wards keeping out the Wailers.  In return, they would help the Shadow set up a 'Chaos Affair' on the streets of St. Martial.
+
 
+
'''Debriefing'''
+
 
+
The Wailers have struck a deal with the Carnival of Shadows?  That's got bad news written all over it.  This 'Carnival of Chaos' sounds like it's gonna be a heap of trouble for St. Martial.
+
 
+
==== {{UL|Interrogate Carnival}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
So the [[Wailers]] have been going nuts trying to steal souls around the Rogue Isles.  What's more, they convinced the [[Carnival of Shadows]] to help them break into Babylon and the Golden Giza!  I really don't like the sound of this 'Chaos Affair' the Carnival is talking about either.  We should find out more about this even and what they're planning to do there.
+
 
+
'''Mission Acceptance'''
+
 
+
We better find out where this Chaos Affair is happening, and fast.
+
 
+
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Interrogate Carnival|Secondary=Defeat 30 Carnies|Additional=|Completion=The Carnival minions relate that their mistresses plan to destroy one of the warding statues keeping the demons out of Babylon.  You also find an invite to the Chaos Affair.'}}
+
 
+
'''Debriefing'''
+

We're going to have to do something about this Chaos Affair.  If the seal is broken all hell will break loose!
+
 
+
==== {{UL|Keep Wailers out of Babylon}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
Alright - we know the [[Carnival of Shadows|Carnival]] is having this 'Chaos Affair' street event as a cover to destroy one of the main wards on [[St. Martial]] keeping the [[Wailers]] out of the Golden Giza and St. Martial.  If that happens, we got the place overrun by demons, and the whole of St. Martial is going down the drain.  This is a matter of survival.  Stop the Carnival from destroying the [[Warding Statue|warding statue]].
+
 
+
If you fail at that, you're going to have to deal with a whole lot of Wailers screaming in and trying to overwhelm the place.  If you can hold 'em off long enough, I can put a temporary ward in place which will keep 'em out until the statue can be repaired.  In any case you need to take down Lady Devereaux, the Carnival leader responsible for this mess.
+
 
+
You have 75 minutes to complete this mission.
+
 
+
'''Mission Acceptance'''
+
 
+
This is gonna be tough. If you got any favors to call in with other villains, I suggest you do it.
+
 
+
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=The sounds of the Carnival 'Chaos Affair' call to you from a distance.|Primary=Keep Wailers out of Babylon - 1:15:00|Secondary=Protect Statue|Additional=**Defeat Devereaux<br>|Completion=You stopped the Wailers!}}

Excellent work.  You helped prevent the Carnival and the Wailers from laying waste to St. Martial.  We may be villains, but it doesn't mean we can't protect our own.

==== {{UL|Provide relief against Wailers}} ====
+
 
+
'''Briefing'''
+
 
+
Got another problem with our old friends the [[Wailers]].  They've been getting aggressive again, attacking people in the local neighborhoods.  The local [[Arachnos]] authority have been called in, but the local force is havin' trouble dealin' until backup arrives.  If you're up for it, help the local Arachnos force against the Wailer incursion.
+
 
+
'''Mission Acceptance'''
+
 
+
I got a truck waitin' nearby which will take you to the spot where the assault is going on.  The Arachnos soldiers there will be expecting you.  Go in and kick some demon butt!
+
 
+
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=You hear a few bursts from an Arachnos rifle fire off as you step onto the streets of St. Martial.|Primary=Provide relief against Wailers|Secondary=Rescue assault leader|Additional=**3 squad leaders to rescue<br>|Completion=You provided relief for the Arachnos force!}}
+
 
+
'''Debriefing'''

Excellent.  Those Wailers are gonna have to lick their wounds a bit before comin' around again.
