An Unearthly Shard (20-29)
You find a chipped shard on the ground. It almost looks like just another piece of pavement until you notice some odd runes on the side of it. You do some investigating as to what exactly this shard could possibly be...
Your investigations turn up information that this is a chunk hewn off of the Table of Dre'eal'azor, an eldritch artifact said to have the ability to control powerful entities of the underworld. Some time ago it was split into several shards to prevent anyone from using its full power.
As you wonder what to do with it, a nearby thug lunges at you, trying to stab you with a small knife! You easily dispatch the thug and question who sent him. Turns out he is one of Mangle's hired goons. The man easily spills everything to you. Mangle has several other pieces of the tablet and is trying to acquire yours - by any means!
You almost feel embarassed for Mangle - is he so idiotic to think this lowly thug could take you down? Regardless, if he thinks so lowly of you, perhaps it's time to really put this creature in his place - and also take several pieces of the tablet for yourself! It could always be handy - in case you stumble across more pieces of the artifact later on.
Then again, do you really want to go through the trouble of dealing with Mangle? It'll be much more profitable to just find someone who would be interested in buying the shard - no doubt there are plenty of demon summoners in the Isles who would kill - literally - for this. Selling them the shard will make you an easy profit and put this whole mess on someone else's shoulders.

Briefing
Mangle may believe he has a place amongst the rest of the important people in the Rogue Isles, but that two-bit circus side-show attraction has another thing coming. There's no room for someone like him to try to step above his station, and you're just the person to show him why.
If Mangle thinks even for one second that he can send some two-bit thug to take you down, then he's got another thing coming. You're going to storm wherever he's hiding, beat him down, and then take any of the shards he's collected.
- Bring the pain to Mangle!
You have a pretty good idea where you can find Mangle's pathetic excuse for a lair. It'll be easy enough to burst in there and take whatever you want for yourself.
Unnecessary Solicitation
If Mangle was smart, he'd leave his lair and just give you the shards - though that wouldn't be any fun at all, would it?
Mission Objective(s)
You can hear the slow movements of slag golems echo in the caverns. It looks like Mangle has somehow gained control over them.
Not that they'll be able to stop you, of course.
- Take Mangle's shards for yourself!
- Find the chest containing Mangle's shards!
- Defeat Mangle!
+++ Missing Information +++ for yourself, all in all a good day for you. Not so much for Mangle.

Debriefing
You step out of Mangle's lair and back into the somewhat sunny air of the Isles. All the shards in your possession suddenly glow, snapping together. You can see just how many shards remain to be collected before the artifact is fully formed.
Perhaps when you've acquired the full artifact, you first victim will be Mangle.
