Mission:Tip - A Hand Delivered Note

A Hand Delivered Note (40-50)

A shadowy figure gracefully leaps to the ground from the rooftops above and kneels before you. She reaches into a message bag and procures a scroll. With a bow she offers the scroll up to you. Immediately after taking and opening the scroll you notice the absence of the shadowy figure. The message reads:

Greetings Character,

Your name and deeds are well known in the Rogue Isles. Our organization does not often communicate with outsiders like yourself. However we are in need of someone with your particular talents. We need a message sent to a woman who goes by Silent Blade. She has betrayed our organization, the Whispered Hand, and left our organization with many of our secrets. We humbly request your help. A message needs to be sent. Subtlety is not necessary; in fact, it is discouraged.

A word of warning, you won't be the only one looking for her. She has greatly angered Longbow recently after she eliminated one of their most prestigious leaders. Do this and the Whispered Hand will not only pay you handsomely, but you will be granted immunity from our organization.

~K

You could do as the missive requests and take down Silent Blade.

Or you could let her know that her old colleagues are gunning for her. Perhaps she'll give you a reward.

Villain Acceptance

Briefing

Silent Blade once stood for something. She would eliminate targets for an organization and with a greater purpose. Now she's willing to take out anyone for a price regardless of the consequences. Heroes, Villains, those that walk in between those defined roles, they're all fair game.

It's time to beat some sense into her and make a fortune while doing it.

• Take out Silent Blade!

You've got Silent Blade's location. The hunt is on. You get to take down one of the world's most notorious assassins and bring the hurt to Longbow. It sounds like today might be a good day after all.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You have a mark that still needs to be eliminated.

Mission Objective(s)

Heavily armored bootfalls can be heard through the dilapidated halls of this old office building. Sounds like Longbow beat you here.

Officer Tasset & Silent Blade
Upon Approach:

Silent Blade: I had a feeling they would send you, Character.

Officer Tasset: Character! Are they a higher priority target? Why, I think they are. Get them!

Silent Blade: No matter, you'll be my next victim.

After defeating Officer tasset and Longbow:

Silent Blade: You've given me the perfect opportunity.

Silent Blade: I'll strike while you're weakened by your fight with Longbow.

Debriefing

Silent Blade was as cunning and ruthless as you've heard, but in the end, she was no match for you. Once again you're approached by the shadowy figure, who hands you your payment before leaping away to the nearest rooftop.

Rogue Acceptance

Briefing

Someday Silent Blade might be hired to eliminate you which would be a complication you'd prefer to avoid if at all possible. You're presented with an opportunity to make an ally. Unfortunately, that would likely mean that you're going to anger the Whispered Hand. Perhaps having Silent Blade as an ally might prevent them from acting against you. Besides, you and Silent Blade have a lot in common, you'll do just about anything if it'll better your situation and it pays well enough. You think you'll head out and give her a hand.

• Warn Silent Blade.

As you head off to the office where Silent Blade is believed to be, you get the feeling that you're being watched by a dozen eyes. Hopefully Silent Blade will appreciate this gesture. It can never hurt to have more allies in the Rogue Isles.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Silent Blade still needs to be warned of the impending danger.

Mission Objective(s)

You hope the messenger was right about this place.

• Warn Silent Blade
  • Deal with the assassins

Silent Blade & Assassin Dialogue

Operative Tasset & Silent Blade
Upon Approach:

Operative Tasset: I'm taking you down Silent Blade.

Silent Blade: This is disappointing. I was actually hoping for a challenge.

After defeating Operative Tasset and Longbow:

Silent Blade: What? You're here to...warn me? Why would you do that?

Upon entering:

Character has betrayed the trust of the Whispered Hand!

Kill Character and Silent Blade.

Debriefing

There was a feeling that you were being watched for good reason. After rescuing Silent Blade you were assaulted by a number of the Whispered Hand assassins. Just as you hoped, Silent Blade has agreed to form a truce with you. She swore a blood oath to not take an assassination contract if it involved you as the target.
