Alignment Mission
You get a rather intruiguing email from an old... associate... in the Rogue Isles - Miss Thystle:
''So look, {{Character}}, I know your schtick lately. Schmooze with all the capes so they get to like you, then when it comes time for them to swing their hammer, you don't get hit so much. Nice gig. You always were a wuss, you know that?''
''I got a good gig, too. One that pays a lot. You remember what that was like? Gettin' paid in cold, hard cash rather than warm fuzzies and unicorns or whatever crap those heroes are handing out these days.''
''Let me get to the point. I need your skills. You do this job with me, I give you half, and I don't say a word to your hero friends, okay?''
''Freak.''
The letter then goes on to describe the details of the plan. It involves that Ice Queen, Polar Shift. Maybe you can not only teach her to quit acting so high-and-mighty, but also make some secret cash under the table.

'''Briefing'''
You know that you can't really trust Miss Thystle. But that's what you can trust about her - she's untrustworthy. However, she knows not to go back on a deal - everyone worth their salt knows bad things happen to people who back out on deals. And for some spare cash, it might be worth it.
The thing that sells you the most about the job is that you get to knock Polar Shift down a peg or two. It seems all you have to do is lure her to some caves below and hit her with some of Thystle's numbing toxin to make her all giddy and dumb.
Heh... make Miss Priss act giddy and stupid? You're in!

Under-the-Table Job

Alignment Mission

You get a rather intruiguing email from an old... associate... in the Rogue Isles - Miss Thystle:

So look, Character, I know your schtick lately. Schmooze with all the capes so they get to like you, then when it comes time for them to swing their hammer, you don't get hit so much. Nice gig. You always were a wuss, you know that?

I got a good gig, too. One that pays a lot. You remember what that was like? Gettin' paid in cold, hard cash rather than warm fuzzies and unicorns or whatever crap those heroes are handing out these days.

Let me get to the point. I need your skills. You do this job with me, I give you half, and I don't say a word to your hero friends, okay?

Freak.

The letter then goes on to describe the details of the plan. It involves that Ice Queen, Polar Shift. Maybe you can not only teach her to quit acting so high-and-mighty, but also make some secret cash under the table.
