Part Five: Retrieval

Unnecessary Solicitation

Remember, the mutant is important to capture alive. If anything should happen to him... Just, please, do your best.

Mission Objective(s)

Out across the port you can see the idle energies of someone's powers, waiting for you.

  • Recover the mutant
    • Talk with Frostfire
      • Talk with Marcus
        • Decide the mutant's fate
  • Talk with... a Mender of Ouroboros?

You have dealt with Marcus in your own way. Now to talk to his father...

Enemies

Rogues Gallery
Freakshow

Notable NPCs

  • Frostfire (Boss, Ally) (0-3 souvenirs only)
  • Mender Roebuck (Boss, Ally) (4 souvenirs only) One of the mysterious Menders of Ouroboros, Roebuck typically provides the important, if dull, service of buying and selling equipment to the heroes and villains who access the Pillar of Ice and Fire. Something has brought him outside of their temporal plane for the time being.
  • Marcus Stribbling (Elite Boss or Archvillain, Ally)
Editor's Note:

Marcus Stribbling is an Elite Boss unless the player has all four souvenirs from this story arc, in which case he becomes an Archvillain. The EB version gains additional powers if the player killed him on a previous run.



Ambush! If the player bypassed Frostfire without fighting, damaging Marcus Stribbling triggers an ambush by Frostfire and one wave of Freakshow.



Debriefing

Character, I assume your call means that you have finished the job?
