Krazy Mark's Krazy Deals! (30-39)
You overhear some talk regarding a big find that Krazy Mark, from St. Martial, has - it seems to be some sort of new Rikti technology, which he's selling for dirt cheap. You go to investigate it, only to see that it's just a broken Rikti pistol. However, while at his store, you see a very angry Peter Themari stomping by with a furious look in his eyes. Curious, you do some investigating. One of your contacts give you the following information...
Peter Themari is known for trying to corrupt any upstanding person he can get his hands on. Well, this time he got his hands on a wealthy young woman named Lisa Darls. Lisa was clever, though, and managed to get away from Themari's lair. She's hiding somewhere in the sewers beneath St. Martial - though if Peter Themari has anything to say about it, he'll find her first and put her back in her place.
It's somewhat surprising that Peter Themari let this woman slip from his grasp. Though you can still use this to your advantage. This situation is the kind of thing that heroes kill for - rescuing a woman from the grasp of the evil villain. If you were to create a fake SOS to some heroes, you could trick them to the sewers of St. Martial - and right into your trap.
Then again...your contact did mention this woman was quite wealthy. That equation of wealth plus distress always equals plenty of money to be made.
Villain Acceptance
Briefing
Those heroes within Paragon are always waiting for the chance to spring into action to rescue any sort of damsel in distress. Such predictable behavior is excellent for someone such as yourself to use to your advantage - which you fully intend to do.
Trick some heroes into the sewers of St. Martial!
You've got your plan all set in motion. You'll have to first make sure to silence the girl hiding in the sewers - you can't risk the heroes actually finding her. Next you'll release a fake broadcast, disguising your voice. Then all you'll have to do is sit back and let the heroes come straight to you - for their beating, of course.
Unnecessary Solicitation
What heroes might show up to save the day?
Mission Objective(s)
These sewers are crawling with Wailer demons - which is fine. All you're looking for is that woman.
- Fool some heroes!
- Silence Lisa Darls!
- Find a communicator to put in the fake distress call!
- Defeat Miss Thystle!
- Defeat Flambeaux!
- Defeat Frostfire!
You've finished off the heroes! Maybe next time they'll know better, though if they did, it would ruin some of your fun.
Enemies
Editor's Note:
The two enemy groups will fight each other if they encounter each other. The majority of the Family in this mission will be next to Wailers, activating their dialogue and fights.

Debriefing
You should start keeping count of all the heroes you've taken out - the list is starting to grow too long to keep track of.
Though it was a bit of an upset that some of the supers you handled weren't true heroes just yet.
Rogue Acceptance
Briefing
You do some digging on the identity of Lisa Darls to find out she's actually a very wealthy stock market broker with a large amount of expensive stocks - which can be yours, if you help her out of this situation. If she's underneath the sewers in St. Martial, it'll mean she's in Wailer territory. Fighting through those Wailers will be sure to startle the woman into running away - which could lead to her into more danger. That's not something you can risk. You'll have to figure out a way to placate the wailers in order to safely reach the Lisa Darls - if you choose to help her.
Save Lisa Darls!
You put in the request to a few of your contacts that you require a method of walking past Wailers untouched. One of your more reliable contacts sends you a magical rune. They say that it will make the Wailers think you're one of their own, so long as you hold onto it. Though the contact did warn you that the rune was very sensitive and could be shattered easily.
This'll have to do for now.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Hopefully you'll get there before Peter Themari can claim his prize again.
Mission Objective(s)
You passed by some Wailers in the sewers - none of them seemed to even notice you. That should make this task of getting Lisa Darls nice and easy.
- Save Lisa Darls!
- Save Lisa Darls!
- Find Peter Themari!
- Defeat Themari's Guardian!
With Themari and his goons handled, it's time to head outside and get your payment from Lisa Darls.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Lisa Darls (Circle of Thorns Succubus)
- Peter Themari
- Themari's Guardian (Circle of Thorns Hellfrost)
Lisa Darls conversation
Speaking with Lisa Darls?
You see what appears to be a succubus...cowering in fear...?
The succubus startles, leaping away from you, assuming a combat stance. She calms for a moment, sighing heavily.
Y-you know my name? What do you want?! Are you here from Themari?! Who are you?!
- The name's Character, and no, I'm here to get you out of here... for a price.
Lisa's face brightens as she straightens her posture.
Thank goodness! Oh, I'll pay you anything, you name it! Just get me out of here! Themari...he's changed me.
I used to be normal...I used to be a beautiful woman! Now look at me! I'm some sort of monster! And for what?! For his amusement? So he can say he turned someone into a demon?!
You can't let him get me again, you can't!
- Calm down. You've got the money, so you've got my services.
- Right...right...of course. I'll give you the information for one of my bank accounts now, and the rest once you get me out of here.
- Themari, he's sure to be looking for me! I can feel him getting closer and closer...w-wait...what was that?!
- A large burst of magic flies through the sewers. You can feel the protective rune shatter into pieces.
- It's Themari! He's here! Character, you have to handle him! I-I'll meet you outside once he's gone. I can't let him get me again - I WON'T!
- Lisa quickly leaps away, finding a place to hide.
- One day, -one- day this will be simple.
- Whoa - whoa - easy there. Not here for a life story... Just here for the money, lady.
- Lisa Darls sighs, taking a breath.
- You're right. I'm sorry...you don't care about any of that. I should be grateful that you're here to help me. We can arrange the form of payment once I get out of here.
- Suddenly, a large burst of magic flies through the sewers. You can feel the protective rune shatter into pieces. Lisa Darls startles, looking about.
- What was that?!
- I'm guessing that was Themari and his friends. They're not happy.
- You have to stop them! I'm not going back to Themari, he won't take me!
- Lisa Darls quickly leaps away to hide, leaving you to deal with the current situation.
- Oh, don't mind me! it's not like you're now a powerful DEMON or anything!
Ambush! All Wailers in the sewer become hostile and groups of Circle of Thorns appear.
Wailer dialogue
- Wailer: Can't wait to take Johnny's soul...can't wait...
- Wailer: Eh? How'd Character get all the way here?
Peter Themari conversation
Speaking with Peter Themari
Peter Themari smiles, bearing his green, rotted teeth.
Ah... Character. What a surprise to find you here. I trust you're doing well?
- Thermari, I'm really certain you're not surprised to see me.
- Hah.
- Yes, I suppose you're correct. It's most upsetting that you've chosen to try to save Miss Darls. I assume you've seen the work I've done on her?
- She has the body of a monster, but still lacks the will of one. My project is still only halfway done - I will have her perfected, at least better than that Pyriss girl.
- At any rate, it seems you currently stand in my way.
- Looks to be that way. Which means you have a very large problem.
- Peter Themari lets out a deep laugh, his breath smelling like ash.
- No my friend, I believe you are the one who has the problem. Unlike many of my...cohorts in the Isles, I am fully capable of handling a situation, should I need to.
- You're welcome to try, Themari.
- Themari's eyes light up with a bright fire before he vanishes in a burst of smoke!
- Are you seriously asking me that question?
- Why not? I always believe in showing some proper manners. Especially to someone who you're going to wipe off of this mortal coil.
- No one seems to understand the idea of 'business'. That's all this is.
- Of course, Character, I understand business quite well.
- But your business happens to conflict with mine. Which is why one of us cannot be allowed to succeed.
- I'm assuming this isn't the part where you walk away peacefully.
- No. It - is - NOT!
- Peter Themari bellows before he vanishes in a cloud of smoke.
- Oh yeah, I just had to handle the lackeys of some goon. How about you?
- Themari's eye twitches in irritation as he grits his teeth together.
- I'm just - FINE - Character. Especially considering that I am here to see to some unfinished business.
- Your teeth won't get any cleaner by being in a sewer, by the way.
- Themari rubs his arm along his lips, glaring at you.
- You're just full of jokes, aren't you, Character?
- I always try to enjoy myself when making money.
- Enough of your ramblings! :
- Peter Themari bellows before he vanishes in a cloud of smoke.
- Just when I thought we were getting along...
Ambush! Themari's Guardian will ambush the player when the conversation ends.
Themari's Guardian dialogue
- Themari's Guardian: You should have never crossed Themari, Character!
Debriefing
You're not too terribly surprised that took more effort than you imagined. Lisa Darls gave you all the information needed to access her bank account. You watched as she ran off into the streets of St. Martial. She's avoided Themari for now, though how much longer she has is anyone's guess.
