Mission:The Superadine Ring - Finale: Death by the Truckload

Finale: Death by the Truckload

Briefing

That guy that Juan snapped a photo of is one of the Lords of Death. Dude goes by the name of Chernobog. I looked his name up online and apparently it's the name of some slavic god of darkness, or something. Real cheery dude.

Anyway, according to Emily and Juan, Chernobog left right before you arrived because the shipment we've been hearing about came in early.

Character... Emily told me that the shipment is a truckload of Superadine! If it gets onto the streets, Kings Row will be flooded with the stuff!

If only we knew where the shipment was being delivered to, we could put a stop to this... Damn, you were this close to stopping that shipment and taking out one of their leaders.

• Ten to one says that Anderson Construction is hosting the delivery

Anderson Construction? But why would they...?

Shauna's eyes light up as she connects the dots.

That's why all those workers were rounded up by the Skulls to be killed in their ceremony! They all worked at the Anderson Construction warehouse here in Kings Row. With them going missing, that warehouse would be empty during the delivery!

Character! You're brilliant! We've got to hurry and bust that delivery before it's too late. If that Superadine hits the streets there will be no way to stop it.

You may want to bring some help. If Chernobog is really there, the place will be crawling with Skulls.

	Snapshot of Chernobog
	Before the Skulls caught him in the Kings Garment Works, Juan Jimenez managed to snap this photo of the Skulls' leader. According to Shauna Stockwell, the guy goes by the name Chernobog and he's one of the Skulls' Lords of Death. A little research suggests that Chernobog is an ancient Slavic deity who was some sort of god of darkness. Obviously this guy thinks quite highly of himself.

The Lords of Death - aka The Petrovic Brothers

According to Shauna Stockwell, the Lords of Death are two brothers knows as The Petrovic Brothers. They formed the Skulls years ago and have been steadily growing the gang ever since. According to some police reports and scattered hero testimonies, former (or reformed) Skulls members claim that the Petrovics have mastered some strange dark magic and use it to empower their most faithful followers. Indeed, there is evidence from the most powerful Skulls members brought in by Paragon City's heroes that suggest that they can control powerful negative energy, but how the Petrovics learned of this ritual, or their level of mastery over it, remains a mystery. One thing is clear, while the Skulls claim to no longer fear death, they do fear the Lords of Death.

Unnecessary Solicitation

The Skulls are unloading that Superadine as we speak, you need to get over to Anderson Construction now before it is too late!

Debriefing

I... I can't believe it. You did it! You stopped the Superadine shipment and arrested one of the Lords of Death!

Character, I... I don't know how I or anyone in Kings Row could ever thank you. I mean... The Skulls are going to be looking for some payback. I don't know if I could ever live knowing that I was being hunted... but I guess that's what makes you a hero, huh?

Hey, I got an e-mail from a guy who claims to be Eagle Eye of The Regulators - The Super Group who cracked down on drugs throughout the 1980's. Anyway, he said he wanted to meet you so I told him I'd put you two in contact with each other, if you are interested.
