Mission:A Woman's Scorn - Part Five: The Devil Is In The Details

Part Five: The Devil Is In The Details

Briefing

From the sound of it, Diabolique has discovered that there is more than Mother Mayhem's psychotic powers at work here, that there's magic as well and she is uncertain of the source. Her... offer for me to join her was just a masked cry for help for her old teacher. Tell her thanks for the offer, but no thanks. I'll look into this kindred magic on my own, meanwhile I think whatever it is that is going on has Diabolique concerned enough that she isn't looking to make more enemies. This might be the best chance we have of getting close to her. See if you can gain her trust before the winds change and she turns on you.

• I'll do what I can.

One more thing, Character. Diabolique isn't easily put on the defensive. If this magic that she's discovered is making her cautious, understand that the source of it probably isn't friendly to you either.

Right now the best chance we have is to work together with Diabolique and eliminate the greater of two evils. Just be ready for the backlash once the greater threat is eliminated or you may find yourself enslaved to her will for the rest of eternity.

Unnecessary Solicitation

While we're on Diabolique's good side I want you to learn everything you can about the Apparitions and this strange magic that Diabolique seems so concerned about.

Cerulean

Briefing

Cerulean seems to lose consciousness for the briefest of moments and then recovers his balance.

Ugh... What was THAT?

• Cerulean?

Cerulean concentrates for a moment before looking to you with his blazing blue eyes, concern in his voice.

Something... something is happening with the Apparitions. It's the enchantment on them, it's activating!

• What do you need me to do?

It's powerful!

Character, you must get to Tammy, I fear she is in grave danger!

• You want me to save her?!

This is no time for foolish quarrels over past deeds, there is a great evil moving and I fear that I cannot oppose it alone!

Get to Tammy and bring her here before it is too late!

• "Alright, I'm going." (Enter Mission)

Mission Objective(s)

Meanwhile, as you race to the rooftop of the Westerman Building...

  • (Cllick on Master Midnight to finish)

You have discovered the true origin of the magic that ensorcels the apparitions, but there are worse things than ghosts now stalking the streets of First Ward.

Upon exiting, Speak with Master Midnight, which begins with his initial contact and into his story arc.

Diabolique: I can feel your presence, Sorcerer... show yourself! Sorceress Serene: Tammy Arcanus... Sorceress Serene: ...it's been a long, long time... Diabolique: Clarissa...!?! Diabolique: I knew the enchantments upon the Apparitions were familiar... Diabolique: Tell me, when the Emperor ordered me to destroy your Cabal, how long did you weep for them? Sorceress Serene: The name is Serene now, Tammy. Sorceress Serene: And the fact that the enchantments were familiar should have been the first sign for you to be cautious... Sorceress Serene: But I knew that you would ignore the warning in your mind. Sorceress Serene: I knew that your arrogance would prevent you from recognizing that the spell of binding placed upon the Apparitions was the very same you used to enslave MY coven... Sorceress Serene: ...AND your own father! Diabolique: They're mine, 'Serene'. Diabolique: ALL mine. Forever. Diabolique: And soon you will be too. Diabolique: Your spell is a failure. It isn't even complete. Sorceress Serene: If that is true... Sorceress Serene: Then why is it that the Apparitions obey my commands and not your own? Diabolique: They are bound to MY will, 'Serene', completely and eternally. And soon, so shall you! Diabolique: I'm overjoyed. The destruction of the Ravenwing Cabal is finally complete! Diabolique: Minions! Bring her soul to me! Sorceress Serene: I'm afraid your pride has blinded you, Tammy Arcanus. My trap is already sprung... Scattered Spirit: Obey Serene! Scattered Spirit: Obey Serene! Scattered Spirit: Obey Serene! Scattered Spirit: Obey Serene! Scattered Spirit: Obey Serene! Scattered Spirit: Obey Serene! Scattered Spirit: Obey Serene!

Sorceress Serene: Your soul is now MINE! Diabolique: Noooooooooooooooo! Sorceress Serene: When oaths are broken and evil left unpunished... Sorceress Serene: Then blood will be spilt 'til the Furies be sated... Sorceress Serene: The Talons of Vengeance descend upon you all! Sorceress Serene: Now...

I sense that there is a strong magical presence atop the Westerman Building. There you will find answers about what has transpired.
