Introductions
Contact Introduced By
New Contact(s)
You might want to go introduce yourself to Lou Pasterelli. His politics are more than a little radical and he's had some run-ins with the authorities, but he can be a great help against the Devouring Earth and Crey. He works primarily with science heroes and has access to Invention and Genetic Alteration Enhancements.
Lou is a firebrand, but he knows how to get things done!
I'd love for you to work with Phillipa Meraux, a former hero who now specializes in counter-terrorism. Go and see her if you want more information on the Rikti or Crey. She works primarily with natural heroes and has access to Gadget and Relic Enhancements.
Phillipa is very demanding, but her sources are top notch.
Information
Psychic
Allison King is a memory archaeologist. Instead of excavating ancient burials, she digs through the collective unconsciousness, using hypnotism and her limited psychic abilities. For years, she's been using this ability to help her clients recover from traumatic events or recapture their suppressed memories. Recently, though, she's started using her skills to fight crime. Her memory excavations turn up important details that eyewitnesses don't consciously remember. She's also an excellent interrogator, since she always knows when someone is lying. None of her assertions are admissible in court, of course, but she can at least set heroes on the right path.
Initial Contact
I pray that the visions I share with you will help bring wrongdoers to justice.

Stop the university students from performing the Circle's rituals
Briefing
There's a group of people who I think may be in trouble. They were all in the Magic Society, a school sponsored club over at Paragon City University. When they started investigating the rituals of the Circle of Thorns, the chancellor disbanded the club, but I think he may not have been fast enough to stop the Circle from returning the students' interest. A source told me they're planning to perform some Circle rituals in a nearby clearing. I need you to stop the university students from performing the Circle's rituals. I very much doubt they know what they're getting into.
These are good kids, Hero. They just need to be steered back to the straight and narrow. I've called in a few favors and had an emergency force field erected around the area. I hope I was fast enough to keep the Circle off their backs.
Mission Objective(s)
A bag of chips and some sodas lie forgotten on the ground. From the clearing, you hear a single scream, then silence.
- Defeat all villains in area
- 5 students to find
You defeated the Circle of Thorns and rescued some students
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Sheila (NPC Hostage)
- Ken (NPC Hostage)
- Sam (NPC Hostage)
- Shelly (NPC Hostage)
- The Ghost of Donald (NPC Hostage)
 |
Ghost's story |
| The apparition of Donald, the dead boy, told you:
"...Robby had this...weird...thorn. He stuck in it... into his heart... before any of us could stop, he stuck it right in his heart!... and then ...he wasn't Robby anymore. He talked different... smiled different... walked different... but he still seemed to know me... he asked if I'd like to be like him... powerful and free... I guess I... sort of nodded... he grabbed me and started whispering... magic words... I'd never heard before... And I was outside my body... He said when they were through with us, they'd try the Dewar Corporation next. That's where his dad works. I think I have to go now... I think I have to go... |
|
Ghost's body |
| This is the corpse of the ghostly student you encountered. There is no mark of violence upon it, it seems as if the boy's soul was simply wrenched from his body |
Mission Objective(s)
Dewar Corp. is one of the world's premier manufacturers of plastic. You can't imagine why it should interest the Circle of Thorns, unless their interest is personal
- Defeat lead mystic & his coven
- Discover Circle's plan
You saved some of the people from Dewar Corp. and found a note outlining the Circle's plan
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Hostage x2 (NPC Hostage)
- Robby's Dad (NPC Hostage)
- Ghost x3 (NPC Hostage)
|
Note |
| This note bears the hastily scribbled fragments of many incantations. It says: "The effect of the spell is still not certain. A larger test will be required. If all Founders' Falls can be severed from their bodies, it may be possible to do the same to all of Paragon City" |
Mission Objective(s)
You tracked one of the Circle of Thorns' mystics back to this outpost of Oranbega. You hope you'll be in time to stop the Circle's vile plot
- Stop Circle's soul severing rite
- 6 ritual stones to destroy
You defeated the Circle of Thorns and stopped their plot to sever the soulsof everyone in Founders' Falls
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Arales (Agony Mage) (Boss)
Debriefing
It's staggering to think of the damage those students almost caused. By attracting the Circle's attention, they nearly caused the death of every person in Founders' Falls. I'm sorry this Robby kid went over to the dark side like that. From everything his friends tell me, it seems he was a nice kid, a little intense maybe, but kind and sincere. I guess sometimes the need for power can make a person snap. As soon as he got a taste of it, he couldn't stop himself from wreaking havoc.

Save the lawyers from the Circle of Thorns
Briefing
Have you heard of the Patterson & Patterson, the deffense attorneys? They've been in the news a lot lately for their well-nigh miraculous success, no matter how hardened their client, they always seem to win an acquittal. Well, the Pattersons are in big trouble. I've heard rumors that the Circle of Thorns is going to raid their firm today, and they plan to sacrifice every last person inside. Do you think that you can save those lawyers from the Circle of Thorns?
The Pattersons even defended some Council soldiers who were involved in a munitions theft. Hard to believe, but they got them off.
Mission Objective(s)
A framed photo shows Warren Patterson himself shaking hands with the mayor of Paragon City. It's funny, but you could swear he looks slightly uncomfortable.
- Defeat all mystics in law firm
- 6 portal stones to destroy
You defeated the Circle of Thorns and rescued the lawyers
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Warren Paterson, Esq (NPC Hostage)
Debriefing
So, old Warren Patterson sold his soul to a demon, huh? I guess that explains why every judge in Paragon City seemed to have gone soft in the noggin. But Warren reneged, he wouldn't surrender his soul. And the Circle came calling to collect. They probably hoped to gain the demon's allegiance by sacrificing Warren along with his entire staff. It probably would have worked, too.
Save the Wyatt mediums from the Circle of Thorns
Briefing
You've heard of those magically-gifted Wyatt triplets; they sometimes call themselves the Weird Sisters? They were conducting a séance over at the van Horn mansion, when some Circle of Thorns mystics broke in and spirited them away. Someone's got to save the Wyatt mediums from the Circle of Thorns. It's been said that those women have great power; I'm sure the Circle plans to force them to help with its nefarious plots.
Don't laugh, but I once had Jan Wyatt read my tea leaves. She's a sweet woman; I'd hate to see anything happen to her.
Mission Objective(s)
- Save mediums from Circle
You rescued the Wyatt sisters and found a strange book. After calling your contact, you receive instructions to take the book to the mysterious Dr. Cheng for translation.
|
Circle of Thorns text |
| You found this tome on a Circle of Thorns alter. When you hold it, you have an unsettling feeling beneath your skin, as though your blood longed to pour itself out across the black pages. |
Note
Mission is a defeat all, even though that is not one of the stated objectives.
Mission Objective(s)
- Take book to Dr. Cheng
|
The Codex of Bloodlines |
| This magical tome can trace a person's ancestry back to the time of the powerful pre-historic magic users. Any name written in its owner's blood blossoms out a crimson family tree on the book's black pages, in the arcane language of the Circle of Thorns. |
Briefing
This book, my friend, is called the Codex of Bloodlines. It is a tool the Circle uses for tracing the ancestry of their victims. When a person's name is writ in blood upon the page, her entire family tree becomes written there as well. You see, here is the family tree of Tillie Wyatt. And here are those of the Circle's recent victims, as well as many of their followers. My word. Each person here can trace his or her bloodline all the way back to the mystical kingdom of Mu.
Mu? The last great stronghold of magic. In Mu, all men were sorcerers, as were all women and children. They were a warlike people, eventually destroyed by an enemy they had thought too weak to fight back. But a few refugees survived, and many of today's magic heroes can trace their ancestry back to Mu. It seems the Circle is aware of the power that still runs through that bloodline.
Look at this! All of the Wyatts' Mu blood comes from their father's side; their mother had none at all. If the Circle is aware of this, they will certainly try to kidnap Mr. Wyatt. His daughters' magic is potent, but he is the Circle's real prize!
Mission Objective(s)
- Save Mr. Wyatt from Circle
You rescued the hostages and found a list of names.
|
Book of names |
| You found this book in a Circle of Thorns base. It contains a list of people, all of whom can trace their ancestries back to the mystical kingdom of Mu. |
Note
While the stated objective for this mission is save Mr. Wyatt, to complete the mission you must also save all of the Descendant of Mu hostages as well.
Notable NPCs
- Mr. Wyatt (Hostage)
- Descendants of Mu (Hostages) (Unknown number)
Debriefing
The Wyatts have been reunited, and they couldn't be more grateful. You did a great job on this one. Thanks to this book of names you recovered, we know the identities of many people the Circle no doubt planned to attack or recruit. I'll make sure that anyone in danger gets warning or protection from the Circle of Thorns. I hope they'll listen, but the allure of magic is a strong temptation for many in these desperate times. We'll just have to keep our eyes on them.
