Mission:Common - Interrogate some Outcasts on the street

Interrogate some Outcasts on the street

Briefing

The Outcasts often move minor artifacts to anyone in the city interested in getting an edge. There's a rumor that they're planning a big auction of magical artifacts, but none of my sources have found anything concrete. Normally the Outcasts are big boasters; when they get quiet, I start to worry. I need someone to interrogate some of the Outcasts on the street. See if you can find out what's going on.

The last thing this city needs is more dangerous mystic items in the hands of the wrong people.

Mission Objective(s)

Temporary Powers

During the mission some of the objects you retrieve can be useful against the villains:

Ring of Pain

Ranged, Foe -Defense, Self Damage over Time

The Ring of Pain is a dark device. It can severely reduce a target's defense at the cost of the owner's health. As the target's defense is lowered, you will continue to lose hit points until you deactivate the ring. The Ring of Pain can remain active for about 10 minutes before it is exhausted of its negative energy.

Scroll of Ruin

Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect), Foe -Defense

This incantation will drastically reduce the defense of all foes in the affected area. The affected foes become vulnerable and incredibly easy to hit. This scroll possesses powerful dark magics, and its effects are almost impossible to resist or avoid. The Scroll of Ruin can only be used once.

Artifacts

The artifacts you recovered seem to buzz with power, but you cannot deduce their purpose.

Dialogues

During the mission, the villains' delegations say the following:

Hellion 1: This is gonna be our ticket to the big time!
Hellion 2: Assuming we can win anything

(aggroed)

Hellion 1: Hero trouble!

Tsoo 1: All of these factions, gathered in one place.
Tsoo 2: I would prefer an honorable fight to this mercantile mess.

(aggroed)

Tsoo 1: Excellent. Battle.

Circle of Thorns 1: I am surprised that some hero has not come to defeat this gathering of evil.
Circle of Thorns 2: I'm astonished one has not shown up already

(aggroed)

Circle of Thorns 1: How predictable! Some fervent fool of contemporary justice has arrived to stop us!

Debriefing

I'm glad you were able to stop this auction. The Outcasts have been putting a lot of these magic items out on the streets lately. They always seem to have a downside or a curse on them, but the Outcasts still seem to find ready buyers. I guess there are a lot of people in this city who are desperate for a little power.
