Under-the-Table Job

Alignment Mission

You get a rather intriguing email from an old... associate... in the Rogue Isles - Miss Thystle:

So look, Character, I know your schtick lately. Schmooze with all the capes so they get to like you, then when it comes time for them to swing their hammer, you don't get hit so much. Nice gig. You always were a wuss, you know that?

I got a good gig, too. One that pays a lot. You remember what that was like? Gettin' paid in cold, hard cash rather than warm fuzzies and unicorns or whatever crap those heroes are handing out these days.

Let me get to the point. I need your skills. You do this job with me, I give you half, and I don't say a word to your hero friends, okay?

Freak.

The letter then goes on to describe the details of the plan. It involves that Ice Queen, Polar Shift. Maybe you can not only teach her to quit acting so high-and-mighty, but also make some secret cash under the table.

HERO: Go over the plan and what your role in it is.

Briefing

You know that you can't really trust Miss Thystle. But that's what you can trust about her - she's untrustworthy. However, she knows not to go back on a deal - everyone worth their salt knows bad things happen to people who back out on deals. And for some spare cash, it might be worth it.

The thing that sells you the most about the job is that you get to knock Polar Shift down a peg or two. It seems all you have to do is lure her to some caves below and hit her with some of Thystle's numbing toxin to make her all giddy and dumb.

Heh... make Miss Priss act giddy and stupid? You're in!

  • Do this easy job and make some fast cash!

You agree to the job and get the details of when and where to meet with Polar Shift in tow. Seems Thystle is working with those weirdos, the Lost. She's given you a vial of her chlorotoxins to use on Polar Shift.

Stick her with the needle, and you're done. This should go smoothly.

Unnecessary Solicitation

If you wanna get paid, you're gonna need to get Polar Shift over to those caves. Thystle has given you a vial of her chlorotoxins to use on Polar Shift.

Stick her with the needle, and you're done. This should go smoothly.

Mission Objective(s)

Well, that was easy enough. You lured Polar Shift here under the pretense of 'saving' some baby seals inside the caves. It took you forever to ditch her friend, Flambeaux. The hothead was threatening to call the 'police' the whole time... Even though she's a super, herself. What an airhead.

  • Knock Polar Shift down a peg!
    • Ambush Polar Shift and administer the serum
    • Find Miss Thystle so you can get paid
    • Talk to Miss Thystle
    • Rescue Polar Shift from a horrible fate!
    • Lead Polar Shift to safety

You managed to get Polar Shift to a safe place, even though she never knew that it was you that rescued her.

Debriefing

Even though you didn't get paid for that job, it doesn't matter, okay? What they had planned for her is something even that stuck up Queen Bee doesn't deserve.

But the thing she said to you at the end? Well, it's kinda weighing on your - lack! - of conscience...

Hero?
