Your Life Story! Wait, What?

A secure e-mail titled "Character's Life Story" shows up in your inbox...

After reading the message over and over, you realize the sender knows quite a lot about you, but some minor details are off. Suddenly it hits you, the incorrect details are actually a code! Someone is sending a message only you will understand!

After decoding, it appears the message is from one 'Sister Jocasta' - a top-level assassin for the Knives of Artemis. She has stepped on powerful toes in her organization and needs a way out, fast. Her offer: If you extract her to safety, she will reveal some of the Knives' secrets (among others, how they know so much about you) in exchange for immunity from prosecution for her own many crimes.

Performing an extraction from an elite Knives of Artemis base will be tricky, but her information may be useful.

However, the thought of letting an assassin escape justice gives you pause, especially one so well-informed. Sister Jocasta has to answer to someone, and it might as well be you.

Hero Acceptance

Briefing

Sister Jocasta has a long and sordid history of performing assassinations and espionage with the Knives of Artemis. Lucky for her you are willing to stomach the distaste of helping such a criminal out of a tight spot.

But rest assured, you will make sure that she tells the authorities everything she knows about the shadowy mercenary outfit. This all supposes, of course, that you can actually get her out alive.

Extract Sister Jocasta from the Knives of Artemis in exchange for her information.

Mission Acceptance

The Knives may already be planning to deal with Jocasta. There's no time to lose.

Unnecessary Solicitation

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

Mission Objective(s)

The mercenaries have chosen this location to avoid arousing suspicion. Hopefully you'll be able to get out without too much suspicion yourself.

• Extract Sister Jocasta!
  • Extract Sister Jocasta
  • Defeat Silent Blade
  • Lead Sister Jocasta out

You've successfully extracted Sister Jocasta.

Sister Jocasta Dialogue

Info Text: Sister Jocasta has a rap sheet as long as a football field, but if she's going to turn against the Knives of Artemis it's up to you to see she survives.

Before Combat:

Sister Jocasta: So, Phoebe, you've finally grown the guts to take me on, have you?

Sister Phoebe: You've gotten on my nerves for the last time, Jocasta.

Mercenary: Traitors don't deserve the mercy of a clean death.

Sister Phoebe: Your power play has failed, and you're all alone now.

Combat Start:

Sister Jocasta: So you got my message after all, Character.

Sister Phoebe: Couldn't fight your battles for yourself, eh Jocasta?

Once Free: Excellent. Let's book it out of here.

If Lost: You're forgetting someone important!

If Refound: Are you having second thoughts about our arrangement?

On Rescue: I will keep my end of the bargain, Character. I wouldn't have made it out of there without you.

Sister Phoebe

75% Health:

Sister Phoebe: You're helping a vicious woman, Character.

Sister Phoebe: Don't turn your back on her...

Silent Blade Ambush

Info Text: It appears that the Sister Phoebe has hired Silent Blade to make sure no one gets in her way when she confronts Sister Jocasta.

Ambush Spawn: Strike! Now!

Combat Start: Nothing personal Character. This is just business.

50% Health: Once I take you down Character, I'll be known as the world's greatest assassin!

25% Health:

Silent Blade: I admit, you're better than I. But, I'm not done yet.

Mercenary: Stop that traitor!

Defeated: ...well fought, Character.

Ambush! After defeating Silent Blade, another ambush of Knives will appear. Hand of Artemis: "Stop that traitor!"

Debriefing

You extracted a Knives of Artemis informant in one piece. Hopefully she will prove to be a useful ally in taking down the Knives of Artemis.

Vigilante Acceptance

Briefing

Sister Jocasta is a notorious assassin who's been involved in the internal power struggles of the Knives of Artemis for quite some time, squabbles you don't want any part in. If she wants your help, it's only to exploit it somehow. Her crimes cannot, and should not be forgotten.

Her message to you is enough evidence to convince the Knives that she's become too much of a liability to keep around any more. Roughing Sister Jocasta up will let others know you're not interested in being fooled by a villain. Leaving her message behind for the Knives to find means they'll take care of her themselves.

Force Sister Jocasta to pay for her crimes by exposing her as a traitor.

The Knives won't allow you to just walk in there. Be ready.

Mission Objective(s)

This is where Sister Jocasta said she'd be. Looks like the Knives followed her.

• Deal with Sister Jocasta!
  • Leave behind Jocasta's message, Defeat Sister Jocasta

You've taken care of Sister Jocasta, a deadly mercenary assassin.

Enemies

Knives of Artemis

Notable NPCs

• Sister Jocasta (Knives of Artemis Blade of Artemis)

Knives of Artemis Minion Dialogue

Before Combat:

Knives of Artemis Minion 1: Why does Sister Phoebe suspect Jocasta of treason?

Knives of Artemis Minion 2: I'm sure she has good reason.

Combat Start:

Knives of Artemis Minion 1: A hero's good enough reason for me!

Sister Jocasta Dialogue

Before Combat:

Sister Jocasta: Where is that blasted hero? Phoebe will be here soon.

Combat Start:

Sister Jocasta: So... I take it you've decided against my generous offer.

Sister Jocasta: So be it.

At 75% Life: I'll simply find another hero to be my patsy.
At 50% Life: You're not as slow-witted as I thought.
At 25% Life: Have you ever considered a career in assassination?

Defeated:

Sister Jocasta: Wasn't meant to be...

Debriefing

You've taken care of a dangerous mercenary assassin, but through decidedly extra-legal methods.
