Eldritch Summoning Script

You find a tattered parchment with arcane writing covering the page. Reading it over something piques your interest.

After deciphering the strange writing found on this ancient parchment, it seems you have stumbled upon the details of a summoning ritual being held by the villainous Desdemona. She is planning on summoning a greater being from a hellish dimension by drawing from power held within a number of mystical artifacts. In addition to the eldritch power being pulled from the artifacts, Desdemona has joined forces with the Circle of Thorns to complete the ritual.

Judging by the amount of power required for the summoning, if Desdemona is successful the results could be catastrophic. Rather than letting this disaster go unchecked, you still have time to destroy those artifacts, thereby preventing Desdemona from completing the ceremony.

However... this would be a perfect opportunity to bring justice to all the gathered cultists, including Desdemona herself. Once they finish the summoning, they'll likely be in a much weaker state. Other heroes can deal with the demon.

Hero Acceptance

Briefing

Although Desdemona has caused so much havoc with her legions of demons over recent years, this summoning may be the worst to date. In the past she's been content with pulling creatures from whatever Nether Planes she draws from, but the amount of power needed for this ritual is rather unsettling.

If she manages to complete her ritual, the amount of devastation left in the demon's wake could be unimaginable. You have to put a stop to this before innocent lives are put in danger.

Destroy the Artifacts!

Mission Objective(s)

The sound of chanting reverberates down the halls, letting you know there is still time to stop the summoning.

• Destroy two Eldritch Artifacts!

You've managed to stop the demon summoning before devastation was wrought across the city.

Enemies

• Circle of Thorns
  

Notable NPCs

Debriefing

In the distance, you can hear a loud explosion. It seems Desdemona is quite aware that her ritual was thwarted. The people of Paragon are safe for the moment, though Desdemona still lurks, biding her time.

Vigilante Acceptance

Briefing

Demons marauding through Paragon City have caused quite a few problems over the years. It's one thing for these fiends to find their way to our world, but it's another when those demons are brought here intentionally.

Desdemona's sheer disregard for the safety of the people of Paragon City has gone too far with her latest endeavor. Add in the fact that she's working with the Circle of Thorns to summon this demon and this ritual becomes nothing more than criminal.

Instead of putting a stop to her pets again and again, why not stop the problem at it's source? Once the ritual is completed, she and her followers will be in a weakened state. Rather than chasing down the demon, why not wait for the real culprits?

Stop Desdemona!

By the time you make it to the summoning site, the cultists should be done summoning the demon. At that point, they'll all be ripe for the taking. Walk in there and bring justice to everyone.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to get that thing taken care off we talked about earlier.

Mission Objective(s)

From the sound of the screams from outside, you're pretty sure the demon has been summoned and has likely escaped by now.

But not Desdemona.

• Stop Desdemona!
  • Defeat Desdemona!

You were able to stop Desdemona and her Circle of Thorn partners, but at the cost of letting the demon go!

Enemies

• Circle of Thorns
  

Notable NPCs

• Desdemona

Debriefing

You step out from the Circle Cavern to see the immediate area in ruins - the 'Marquis' which was released seems to be the cause of this.

Just a small price to pay, as Desdemona has been stopped from ever pulling something like this again.
