Mission:Alexandra Sideris - Accept task to stop Boss Name (Nictus)

Accept task to stop Boss Name (Nictus)

Briefing

One of my scouts has reported that the Dark Ones have nested nearby. They are led by one who calls itself Boss Name. Your task is to stop this vile spirit before it can organize their zealots for another attack on this post.

It hides away like a vile infection and infests and corrupts our people for its cause. Find it and defeat it. I am counting on your continued success, Character.

You have 60 minutes to complete this mission.

Unnecessary Solicitation

There is no time to waste. Less than an hour, in fact. Even now it musters the darkness to attack our lands.

Go! I beg you!

Editor's Note:

Names for the Nictus leader seem to follow the pattern "X Y", where X is a noun phrase and Y is a modifier. Possibilities include:

• X = The Darkness, Horrors, Malice, The Rage, The Shade, The Shadows, The Silence
• Y = Asunder, of Dominion, Empowered, Enflamed, of Subjugation, of Progress, Unchained, of Wonderment

For instance, "The Darkness of Dominion" and "Malice Asunder" are two possible names.

Mission Objective(s)

Sounds of faint laughter waft from the darkness. An eerie thrum pulses through the cave. The Nictus are at work here!

• Defeat Boss Name and its coterie
  • Defeat Boss Name

Success: You have completed your task successfully.
Failure: Your task has ended in failure. There is no honor, nor reward, in that.

Boss Dialogue

Before Combat:
Boss Name: Time is short. We must stabilize the paths before Valeria interferes.

---

Boss Name: The things set in motion cannot be undone. We are here.

---

Boss Name: Valeria seeks us out. We will meet her with all of our might!

---

Boss Name: What an old fool Imperious is!
Boss Name: Does he honestly think Sister Valeria can help him organize an army strong enough to oppose us?

---

Boss Name: We are but part of the larger whole.

---

Boss Name: All that remains is to decide what to do with our time.

---

Boss Name: We are all but guaranteed victory, if we forestall the Warrior and her cohort.

---

Boss Name: Do well to remember that, friends!

---

Boss Name: Soon, all will be Nictus!

---

Combat Start:
Boss Name: You are too late!

---

Boss Name: Who are you, but a pathetic meat puppet?

---

Boss Name: Another puppet sent by Valeria!

---

Boss Name: Ah, the powers that be on this pathetic rock have sought to up-end us.

---

Boss Name: We are Nictus! You cannot stop us!

Editor's Note:

The actual before combat and combat start dialogue above is chosen randomly from among the options above (others may also occur). The boss will say only one line of each type per run of the mission.

Debriefing

Mission Success: If I had but an army of the calibre such as the kind you display, Character, our cause would already be won.

Mission Failure: You have been bested by Boss Name. I am deeply saddened by this news. Perhaps now that you understand his methods of war you can defeat him. This post depends upon your success.
