I'd like you to go see my friend Piper Irving. She's an anthropologist working here in the city. She knows a ton about the obscure beliefs of the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns. Piper knows where to get Training Enhancements.

I am sure you will find Piper quite knowledgeable.

Information

Mystic Healer

Vitaly Cherenko thinks of himself as a doctor, though he practices magic, not medicine. Vitaly is a powerful mystic who uses his prodigious healing powers to treat the homeless, free of charge. His standard of living is not much better than his clientele's, but he is fulfilled and happy. That is, until he runs across a problem he can't cure with his magic. Then he turns to the city's heroes. Heroes comprise a large portion of his patients as well, especially the younger ones just starting out. Vitaly is currently quite worried about the Tsoo and the amoral Circle of Thorns, both of which threaten his homeless patients.

Initial Contact

This city is in need of a great deal of healing.

Store

Vitaly Cherenko sells the following items:

• Inspirations
• Level 15 Natural/Magic Dual-Origin Enhancements
• Level 20 Natural/Magic Dual-Origin Enhancements

Missions

Destroy Circle Portal

Briefing

We have located a Circle of Thorns lair under the control of Dimas, a specialist in magical transportation. We think he's trying to set up a portal. You've got to get in there and destroy the portal. If you don't act quickly, it could become permanent. You only have one hour to destroy the portal.

If they activate that portal, it will be one more way for them to move their foces within the city.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Dimas and his coven (Timed, 1:00)

Debriefing

With that portal gone, the Circle will have one less foothold in Paragon City. Well fought.

Keep Tsoo Out of Steel Canyon

Briefing

The Tsoo have been seen more and more frequently in Steel Canyon lately. Rumor is that they're looking for more territory to increase their power base, and are leaning on the Outcasts pretty hard. I need a hero who's willing to help keep them out of Steel Canyon. They've been spotted in Gimry Ridge and the Copper District, but I'm sure any neighborhood in the zone would welcome your assistance.

Clear Out Tsoo Headquarters

Briefing

I've got a guy hard at work decoding that Tsoo you note you found, but I don't think we can wait for his translation. I just got a tip on the location of the Tsoo headquarters; if we don't move quickly, they may have a chance to move. I need you to clear out the Tsoo headquarters now. Take this com unit so I can get in touch with you wherever you are.

The headquarters is under the control of a Tsoo known as Mr. Po. Above all, I want Mr. Po in custody.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Mr. Po and his crew

Clue: Com unit

This waveband communications unit should allow your contact to get in touch with you anywhere in Paragon City.

Clue: Statue of deer

You recovered this bronze statue of a wounded deer in a Tsoo hideout. It is similar in design to the dangerous artifact you found the Tsoo trying to sell to the Outcasts.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat all Tsoo in Rage lab
• 12 Rage synthesizers remaining

Debriefing

Great job. The Tsoo won't be poisoning the Trolls with their Rage anytime soon.

The way I figure it, the Tsoo are trying to weaken all the other gangs in Paragon City. They tried to poison the Trolls by giving them Rage, a drug that reacts badly with the Superadine that the Trolls regularly take. And they tried to cripple the Outcasts by selling them artifacts that consume the bearer's soul. Who knows what they are doing to undermine the other gangs?

End of Story Arc

This mission concludes The Tsoo Shenanigans story arc and earns a hero the Rage ampoule souvenir. It also award a hero a Level + 2 Dual-Origin enhancement of the hero's origin.

Investigate Disappearances in Faultline

Briefing

There have been an number of disappearances reported in Faultline lately, and I think we both know who's behind them: the Circle of Thorns. I want you to get over there and defeat as many mystics as you can find. Maybe we can stop any more people from falling into the Circle's clutches.

Downfall and Dark Astoria are full of mystics. Maybe you should start in one of those neighborhoods.

Mission Objective(s)

• Combat Circle in Faultline
• Defeat 15 Circle of Thorns

Debriefing

Well, you stopped the kidnappings in Faultline, at least for a time. Never forget, though, that the Circle is a persistent enemy. I'm afraid they will be back to their old tricks all too soon.

Clear Circle of Thorns Out of Sewers

Briefing

The Circle of Thorns has been spotted in a section of the sewers. We have enough trouble down there without them adding to it. Get down to the sewers and clear the Circle out.

Watch out for their mystic blasts. They pack quite a punch.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat all mystics in sewers

Debriefing

It sounds like the Circle nearly succeeded in casting a spell that would keep all of Paragon City asleep forever! It's a good thing you went after them. Otherwise, the lives you've worked so hard to protect would be nothing more than unending siestas!

Stop Circle Rituals

Briefing

The Circle of Thorns is getting bolder by the day! They're performing their arcane rituals right out in public, and it's causing panic among the civilians. I need you to hit the streets and stop the Circle of Thorns rituals. I don't want the citizens of this fair city living in terror.

Faultline is probably the best place for you to start. Boomtown also has a large Circle population.

Mission Objective(s)

• Combat Circle of Thorns menace
• Defeat 15 Circle of Thorns

Debriefing

You've done a good thing by pushing the Circle rituals back into the shadows. People will feel a lot safe now, and I always consider that a victory.
