Hey there, {{Character}}. I heard a bad rumor today. It seems one of the [[Skulls|Skull]] leaders, Marrowsnap, is leading a bunch of his guys into a known [[Hellions|Hellion]] hideout. I'm afraid a conflict like that could spill out onto the streets and endanger the lives of our citizens. {{green|We need some hero presence down there to stop that gang war.}} Will you do it?

Good job on getting Yanamahri out of there. You know, she crafted the Robe of Cold Comfort you recovered from the Hellions earlier. I wonder if they found her by tracing the mystical energy she transferred to that cloak?

The Hellions seem to be gearing up for a fight. They even went so far as to kidnap a MAGI mystic to tip the scales in their favor! Well, at least we have a good idea where they are getting their backing from now. Their connection to the [[Warriors|Warriors']] artifact trade is a secret worth knowing.

Bonefire (10-15)

Souvenir

Skulls bandana

You've kept the bandana of a defeated Skull as a souvenir of your crusade against the gangs of Paragon City. It's an adventure you've come to think of as:

Bonefire

When the Skulls made a move on the Hellions, you were on the scene to keep their battle off the streets. You also found a magical cloak in the Hellions base.

You took the cloak to Azuria, who was relieved to see you. One of the MAGI's employees had been kidnapped, and Azuria sent you to the rescue. When the battle was over, the rescued mystic had a story to tell. She had learned that the Hellions were working with two other gangs: the Outcasts of Steel Canyon and the Warriors of Talos Island. The three gangs were trying to flood the underworld with magical artifacts.

Your work against the gangs of Paragon City kicked up into high gear when you went to speak with Athena Currie about the Skulls. She asked you to break up a Skulls hideout. There you found a ledger which connected the Skulls, the Trolls, and the Family in a Superadine cartel. You took the ledger to Detective Carla Brunelli, a member of Paragon City's gang unit. At her direction, you went after the Skulls' main headquarters, and found yourself in the middle of another brutal gang fight. You defeated all the warring gang members and emerged victorious. However, the ledger had mysteriously disappeared from Carla's office, taking with it any hope of convicting the Family on drug charges.

Stop the gang war

Briefing

Hey there, Character. I heard a bad rumor today. It seems one of the Skull leaders, Marrowsnap, is leading a bunch of his guys into a known Hellion hideout. I'm afraid a conflict like that could spill out onto the streets and endanger the lives of our citizens. We need some hero presence down there to stop that gang war. Will you do it?

Mission Acceptance

Make sure that those two gangs know that their squabbles are being monitored!

Unnecessary Solicitation

I really need you to stop those two warring gangs!

Mission Objective(s)

The door hangs on its hinges. It looks like the Skulls have already made their entrance.

  • Arrest all gang members, Look for clues
    • Seek cause of gang war

You defeated the villains and found a mysterious cloak.

Notes

  • The name of the cloak varies. Possible names include Robe of Cold Comfort and Cloak of Bitter Grace.
  • The name of the enchantress who crafted the cloak varies. Possible names include Atsegine and Yanamahri.

Marrowsnap dialogue
Skulls Patrollers dialogue
Skulls vs Hellions dialogue


Clue
Cloak of Bitter Grace / Robe of Cold Comfort

This mystical robe was crafted by the enchantress Atsegine / Yanamahri. It carries her unique mystical signature.

Debriefing

This cloak clearly has some sort of mystical power. I wonder what the Hellions wanted with it.

It sounds like my suspicions were correct. The Skulls are looking to increase their turf. This could get bad.

Take the cloak to Azuria

Briefing

I'd like you to take that strange cloak you found to Azuria at MAGI. She may be able to tell us why the Skulls and Hellions were willing to go to battle over it.

Mission Acceptance

The Skulls might make a second attempt to get the cloak, so look out.

Ambush! That's Character, the one with the cloak.

Upon acceptance of the mission, there will be an ambush by Skulls.

Take the cloak to Azuria

Unnecessary Solicitation

You told me you were going to deliver that cloak to the MAGI Office.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Take the cloak to Azuria

Briefing

Oh, Character, it's you! We need your help desperately! One of our enchantresses, Yanamahri, has been kidnapped by the Hellions! She's being held in an abandoned office in Kings Row. Will you please rescue her? While you're doing that, I'll examine this cloak you brought me.

You had better take this extra emergency teleporter, in case Yanamahri needs it.

Defeat gang leader and guards

Unnecessary Solicitation

Azuria asked you to rescue someone? Well, what are you waiting for? Get to it!

Mission Objective(s)

It's cold in here; the building hasn't been heated since it went out of business years ago.

  • Defeat gang leader and guards
    • Find missing mystic

You have rescued Yanamahri.

Notes

  • The name of the enchantress varies. Possible names include Atsegine and Yanamahri.

Clue
Yanamahri's story

When you rescued Yanamahri, she told you:

'Thank you so much. You can't imagine the threats they made! I did discover some interesting things. It seems that these Hellions are doing the bidding of another group. They, and another gang called the Outcasts, are working for the Warriors of Talos Island. For some reason, the Warriors want to flood Paragon City with minor magical items. I don't know what they are about, but it can't mean anything good for the city.'

Debriefing

Good job on getting Yanamahri out of there. You know, she crafted the Robe of Cold Comfort you recovered from the Hellions earlier. I wonder if they found her by tracing the mystical energy she transferred to that cloak?

The Hellions seem to be gearing up for a fight. They even went so far as to kidnap a MAGI mystic to tip the scales in their favor! Well, at least we have a good idea where they are getting their backing from now. Their connection to the Warriors' artifact trade is a secret worth knowing.

Take the message to Athena Currie

Briefing

You did a great job freeing Yanamahri from the Hellions, but it looks like our gang problems are just beginning. The Skulls are moving into Kings Row in force, and we need to step up the presence there. Will you take this message to my friend Athena Currie? She has friends on the police force; she should be able to get the extra people we need.

Mission Acceptance

Be sure to tell her to ask for some extra cops in Kings Row.

Ambush! That's that punk, Character!

There will be an ambush by the Skulls upon accepting this mission.

Talk to Athena Currie

Athena Currie is waiting for you.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Talk to Athena Currie

Briefing

If StoryArc Bonefire thinks it's important, I'll ask for some extra cops on patrol in Kings Row. I've been worried about the situation there as well. In fact, one of my informants gave me a tip on some Skull activity over in the old Hyperion Building. I'd like you to check it out for me. See if you can find out what they're up to over there.

Defeat Skull leader and guards

Unnecessary Solicitation

Athena Currie wanted you to check out the old Hyperion Building, so get to it.

It looks like Athena's source was right. This is definitely a hideout for the Skulls.

Clue
Business ledger

This ledger contains records on drug manufacturing and sales. It belongs to a large group called the Superadine Connection, which includes the Skulls and the Skyway City Trolls. The group is presided over by the Family, a powerful gang from Independence Port.

Debriefing

Wow, this ledger you found is great! Looks like the Skulls' entire drug operation is summed up in here, along with their connections to the Trolls and the Family. Now, that's what I call juicy info! I am sure the police will love this.

It's starting to look like the Skulls and Hellions are coming together for a big clash of the pawns, Character.

Take the ledger to Carla Brunelli

Briefing

Carla Brunelli wants to see that ledger you took from the Skulls. She's on the gang task force here in Paragon City, and she's the best person to handle all this new info about the Skulls' Superadine connections. Do me a favor and take that ledger to Carla Brunelli.

Mission Acceptance

Do whatever Carla asks of you, all right?

Ambush! Take Character down, boys!

Upon acceptance of the mission, there will be an ambush by Skulls.

Take ledger to Carla Brunelli

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to get that ledger to Carla!

Mission Objective(s)

  • Take ledger to Carla Brunelli

Briefing

Wow, this ledger is everything StoryArc Bonefire described and more! It seems that the Family has been supplying the Skulls with Superadine, and the Skulls are then selling it to the Trolls, keeping the Family's nose clean. Lining up for the opposition, we've got the Hellions, the Outcasts, and the Warriors. It looks like the Warriors have a huge artifact trade going, and the Hellions and Outcasts are in on that action.

I need you to get to Perez Park and start putting the hurt on both the Hellions and the Skulls. Hopefully you can get info on one of their headquarters. Then we can put a big dent in their organizations.

Locate gang headquarters

Unnecessary Solicitation

Carla wanted you to start putting the hurt on both the Hellions and the Skulls in Perez Park.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Locate gang headquarters
    • Defeat 20 Hellions and 20 Skulls

One of the defeated thugs gave up the location of the Skulls' main base.

Defeat all gang members

Unnecessary Solicitation

One of the Skulls rolled over? Excellent! Now that we know the location of their headquarters, you can show them who has the power in Paragon City!

Mission Objective(s)

These cave walls resound with the sounds of gunfire and flame.

  • Defeat all gang members

You took down the Skulls' base.

Debriefing

You performed great in there, Character. The city and its people owe you a debt of gratitude! I don't know if you heard, but that ledger was stolen from Carla. It's a darn shame; the drug connections it described would have let us put away several ranking members of the Skulls, Trolls, and Family!

You saved a MAGI mystic, took down those warring gang members, and greatly expanded our knowledge of how the gangs in Paragon City operate. Character, nothing can diminish what you accomplished here. This was your greatest victory to date!
