Finale: My Dear Father

Briefing

The Rulu-Shin are intent on doing anything they can to bring back Rularuu into this world. As you've not doubt seen, they have managed to bring in weakened... 'representatives' of the creature.

I believe that these creatures can become more powerful if they fee on magical items or beings. In all likelihood, they saw the Midnighter Squad as a giant refrigerator for Rularuu.

You need to get to Harry Stein's store before they try to feed Numina's father to this Rularuu monster!

  • Where is the store?

The store is in Sharkhead Isle. You'll have to be on your guard. This Harry Stein who runs it is part of the Rulu-Shin, but this is his 'old life' as they call it.

He won't try to reveal himself in the open, but his store will be well protected by security. You'll want to be careful about where you go. The place will be wired to send in a security team if you do anything suspicious.

When you've found the location of the Rulu-Shin and Tommy Arcanus, you'll be in for a fight. You'll want to prepare yourself for anything when you go in there.

I wish I could help you, Character, but my presence there will only hinder you. I am a known enemy of the Rulu-Shin, and should I go in there, the security guards will attack me on sight.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to hurry, or else Tommy Arcanus will be eaten by some sort of creature!

Mission Objective(s)

Map: RULUSHIN_TUNNELS

The security guards eye you suspiciously as you enter. The store is bustling with people looking to buy various items from Harry Stein's stock.

  • Save Tommy Arcanus
    • Be careful of doing anything that might seem suspicious.
    • Stop the Rulu-Shin before they escape with Tommy Arcanus!
    • Track down the Zealous One and recover Tommy Arcanus!

You've recovered the skull of Tommy Arcanus and stopped the Rulu-Shin!

File Cabinet

Searching the File Cabinet

There are three file cabinets. Which one do you look through?

  • (Top Cabinet)
You find documents regarding sales of artifacts to a group called the Rogue Arachnos withing Warburg. The document has details saying that the group seems to be planing some sort of large operation soon.
  • (Middle Cabinet)
You find some keys in the cabinet, with the label, 'Storage warehouse' on them. It's possible that this is the area where the Rulu-Shin are gathering inside the warehouse!
  • (Bottom Cabinet)
You sift through the bottom cabinet and find files regarding some recent artifacts that were purchased.
The files go into detail about how the artifacts dated back to the Cimeroran times, and how they believed they were linked to the fate of a great leader of Cimerora.


After traveling through Hortha Vine in warehouse

V archetypeicon stalker.png Ambush! A wave of Natterling Swarms will come out of the portal as soon as the last of the Rulu-Shin around the portal are aggroed.

The second Hortha Vine takes you to the Hamidon pit in The Abyss!

You've recovered the skull of Tommy Arcanus!

???: The skull of Tommy Arcanus has been recovered by Character. However, the Rulu-Shin relayed the information they found to me..
???: Numina's possession is not a simple spell; she inherited it from her father's bloodline.
???: Hrm... unfortunate. We could destroy her, but the obelisk will not absorb the powers of a spectre.
???: Does this mean that the list is shortened? That the one I was meant for shall be our next target?
???: Calm yourself. This is no simple plan. There are... steps that must be taken. But yes, we are moving towards that.
???: We must make our next move, one that will put Manticore and Statesman in our way. You know what to do.
???: ...Excellent. I will inform Blitz that the time has come to play his role. It will be a grand stage that we will set.
???: Oh, it shall. In the meantime, I will begin to focus on what to do with Character when the time is right.

Debriefing

Numina is relieved to have her father back, Character, and it's all thanks to you and myself. I wish I could have played a larger role in all of this, but my fear in returning back to the Isles paralyzed me.

I've faced many things in my time, Character, but the Isles are a place that I have no desire to return to. I agreed to come to Paragon hoping to use the goals of the Midnighters to give myself safe haven. But I see now, that as long as groups such as the Rulu-Shin exist, there cannot be any safe haven, not when they seek to actively bring about such a massive scale of destruction to the world.

The Midnighters say that they cannot consider the Luddites offer at the moment, given the blow that was struck to them. Perhaps in the future, they may work together with us. For now, I will be staying within Paragon to do what I can to aid the Midnighters. I do not doubt that whatever force behind the theft of Tommy Arcanus is not finished yet. I can only hope that wherever it strikes next, you will be there to put a stop to them.
