Mission:Crossing Over - Part Three: Check out the Red Caps gathering

Check out the Red Caps gathering

Briefing

A friend of mine may be in trouble. His name's Daschle. Walter Daschle. He's a member of MAGI. Not the most talented mystic you'll ever meet, but very talented when it comes to summoning spells. Last I heard of him, he was working on ways to summon the varied creatures of Croatoa. I imagined that's why the Red Caps came after him. I need you to travel to the spirit realm and bring Daschle back. He's a good man, and he's in trouble. It's within the spitit realm. Now, be careful out there. From the intelligence I've received, it sounds like this gathering is truly massive.

Mission Acceptance

All signs indicate that the Red Caps are increasing their activities. It could be that they're ready to draw Salamanca into Croatoa permanently.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need to find out what's going on at that gathering.

Walter Daschle's story

When you rescued Walter Daschle, he told you:

'We're in more trouble than you understand, my friend. A few of my colleagues and I have been investigating this area ever since things went bad last Halloween. The Red Caps are preparing to draw Salamanca permanently into the spirit world. My friends and I cooked up a way to stop them, but before we could do anything, we were captured by the vile creatures. Three of my fellow mystics are still in grave danger. And the whole village is on the verge of tumbling into Croatoa forever!'

Debriefing

According to Daschle, three of his fellow mystics are still missing. We should track them down immediately.
