Mission:Tip - Art, Psychics & You
Art, Psychics & You (41-50)
This strange advertising catchphrase is suddenly everywhere. You become curious.
The advertisement is for an avant-garde exhibition of the death masks of famed artists. The masks themselves are interesting from an artistic perspective, but part of the allure is the deep psychic impressions of creativity stored within the masks. The pitch is that merely being next to these masks will make anyone a better artist.
While you are checking up on it, you imagine the Carnival of Shadows will definitely attempt to steal these masks for their own purposes as they both represent psychic power and high culture.
The masks are currently being stored awaiting the exhibit. The Carnival must not be allowed to take them.
But you've learned the masks can be incredibly dangerous under certain circumstances. If the Carnies then tried to absorb their psychic impressions, they could wind up hurting themselves on a much deeper level.

Debriefing
You've saved the priceless death masks from being absorbed into the Carnival's collection.
Vigilante Acceptance
Briefing
You've learned the death masks are incredibly psychically potent but inherently unstable. Even the slightest nudge can twist them from being foci of creativity and joy into wellsprings of disorder and insanity. The resulting mind 'viruses' are incredibly dangerous to psychics. The stronger the basic impressions, the more devastating the virus. If you can focus negative thoughts into the masks beforehand, the Carnival will have one heck of a headache when they try to use them. You could cripple a lot of their psychics before they catch on.
But this means they'll have to actually steal the masks, at least temporarily.
- Plant a psychic trap in the masks so they backfire on the Carnival.
The masks are stored in a nearby warehouse. All you need to do is focus negative thoughts into the masks to cause the backlash when the Carnival tries to use them.
You concentrate for a moment on negative thoughts.
These negative feelings conjured from your own imagination will taint the death masks' psychic impressions. The masks will magnify the impressions a million-fold when the Carnies absorb them.
