The Oracle of Phoebas

Briefing

Well met.

I am Imperious, deposed ruler of Cimerora. My men and I have fallen back to this outpost as we plan our attack to retake our lands. But much work has to be done before that can happen. Montague told me that he would send people to aid me from his land. I welcome the help.

Mission Acceptance

Take the boat to the mountain of the oracle. Seek out Sister Solaris and ask for her divinations. She will show us the path to victory.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Imperious believes that consulting the Oracle will show you the way to defeating Romulus.

  • Consult the Oracle
    • 10 Sybils to rescue

Briefing

Please, Character! You have to help us. Romulus has captured the other Sybils and he is holding Sister Solaris at the top of the mountain.

Please go inside.

Briefing

Thank you for coming to our aid, Character. As much as I would like to allow you to see our oracle, Sister Solaris made me promise that you would rescue all of our other sisters first. I am not to give you the key until you have freed them.

Please hurry! I do not know how much longer Sister Solaris can hold off the Minotaur.

Briefing

Thank you for rescuing my sisters. Please, take this key. It will open the door behind me and allow you to step onto the top of the mountain. Sister Solaris needs your help.


Clue
Phoebas Temple Key

The Sybil has given you the key to the temple.

Clue
Oracle Key

From this last group of soldiers holding a Sybil, you managed to collect the key that will allow you up to the Oracle.

Clue
Divination

As Sister Solaris hovered in the air above you she recited these words...

Time is not our own...

...the arrow flies to the quiver.

Beasts of metal, flesh and darkness
merge to create an army of night
spreading its pitch from horizon to horizon.

Only travelers out of time
can hope to die by dawn's first light.

Debriefing

I do not know why I am surprised that Romulus would try and take over Point Phoebas and the Sybils. Perhaps I assumed that even he had limits to what he would do - a mistake I have made too often. But never again.

What did the Oracle tell you? I hope it is of use to us.

Take out the shadow cysts

Time's Arrow
Shadows on the cave wall

Briefing

The dark ones, the ones you called the Nictus, have infected the catacombs beneath this land. They seem to thrive from large black shadow crystals hidden within those tunnels. I believe this should be our next assault.

Mission Acceptance

I heard rumors of these dark ones in the caves while I was still in power. I sent Romulus and a contingent of men to investigate. Only Romulus returned, cut and beaten, claiming he had faced a beast from Hades.

If I only knew then what I know now, that the cuts on Romulus were from my own men trying to defend themselves against that traitor!

I have spoken with Daedalus, my prized crafter, and it is his belief that if you destroy the shadow crystals, you will destroy the ability of the dark ones to survive in this realm.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Romulus was once my most loyal aid. He would lead in my name when I traveled abroad, and when matters demanded that I stay at home, he would be my voice to peoples of far off lands.

His betrayal is maddening! I must not allow it to go on any longer. I must have my empire back. Destroying those crystals is the next step in returning me to the throne.

Mission Objective(s)

Destroying the crystals will destroy the dark ones' abilities to survive in these catacombs.

  • Destroy the Shadow Cysts
    • 10 Shadow Cyst

You destroyed the Shadow Cysts. Return to Imperious for further instruction.

Debriefing

I could hear the screams of those creatures from here. You are a mean group of warriors; I have never seen any more fierce.

With the crystals destroyed and the dark ones weakened, I believe the power of Romulus is now threatened.

Now is the time we strike.

Stop Romulus

Time's Arrow
Vespillos Pass

Briefing

I have questioned many of Romulus' men you captured from the catacombs. They revealed some startling information.

Romulus is rallying the full force of his army to assault your own time.

He plans to use two Incarnates from your time to awaken two of his giant colossi. Perhaps you have heard of these two men. They go by the names Statesman and Lord Recluse. These colossi are being crafted in the mountains of Vespillos Pass.

Mission Acceptance

The army waits in Vespillos Pass for a ship that will take them to your time. From there, they plan to capture these two men, bring them back here, and wake the sleeping giants.

You do not want this to happen, whatever your allegiance is to these two Incarnates. I have seen, first-hand, the devastation left behind by the forces of Romulus. I have called for help on this task.

You will be joined by my prized artisan, Daedalus. He will assist you in your journey up the pass to the colossi.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Vespillos Pass is where we would take our dead. Only those who died in battle were allowed to go there. It is no wonder that Romulus could build these colossi there without our knowledge. The lands are forbidden to everyone, except myself and a few others, Romulus being one of the few.

Go there, stop Romulus and stop his men!

Mission Objective(s)

Romulus is rallying his troops for a full assault on your time.

They plan to use Statesman and Lord Recluse to power their giant colossi.

  • Stop Romulus
    • 5 Generals
    • Romulus Phalanx
    • Defeat Romulus
    • 100 Cimeroran Traitors
