Finale: Hidden Depths

Briefing

Lemkin and his Igneous allies are in the Hollows as we speak, performing the ceremony. Synapse is, unfortunately, not available to help. The PPD have informed me that he went straight to the Hollows to deal with the situation there, and has not been heard from since.

I can only assume that Synapse's powers have already been taken. My psychic abilities are showing an abnormal increase in Lemkin's powers, but not the others.

  • So only Lemkin has Synapse's powers.

Correct. If you can stop the ritual now before it is complete, we can prevent the rest of my brothers from being corrupted.

Be careful, Character. Lemkin will have Synapse's powers. He may not have the ability to control them very well, but he will be a formidable opponent.

It is up to you now, Character, to prevent hundreds of Lost from gaining Synapse's powers through this vile magical ritual!

Unnecessary Solicitation

There's no time to lose, Character!

Mission Objective(s)

Map: IOM_HOLLOWS_LOST_CEREMONY

Pools of lava fill the area of Grendel's Gulch. You can see the obelisk in the distance, sitting on one of the islands formed by the Igneous.

  • Stop the Lost from absorbing all of Synapse's powers
    • Defeat Lemkin
    • Defeat Echidna

You stopped Lemkin's schemes and prevented Synapse's power from being distributed to all members of the Lost!

Lemkin's Purpose
Lemkin sobbed as he hit the ground, Synapse's powers now gone from him.

'I only wanted to please the masters! We never asked why, why we were told to not use magic. I wanted to follow the rules given to us, but more than that, I wanted to please the masters. I did not care for these arbitrary rules; if breaking them meant I could help the masters, help destroy those who would seek to harm us, then I would do it a thousand times over!

I am more devoted than that fool Theoden ever was. He rots in a prison as we speak, while I do everything I can to please the masters, even if it means breaking a few rules! Is it fair, Character, that I am punished, when all I wanted to do was serve our masters?!'

Mysterious Images
When the obelisk was shattered, it forced several images into your mind.

One of a temple at the top of a small mountain.

Another of a ghostly looking woman, conversing with a man in armor.

The final shows the two shaking hands, the man in armor's face looking grim, but determined.

???: Our plans for Synapse's grand finale have been sundered, along with the obelisk.
???: Per your instructions, the item the Lost used to communicate with the Igneous has been destroyed.
???: Perfect. It's a good thing that I have the other obelisk, hidden from that idiotic ghost. This was an excellent test run.
???: What should we do about Character and Synapse?
???: Keep Synapse on our... 'candidate' list. As for Character...
???: Let's just say that I have a plan to deal with someone like him / her.
???: Very well. I shall go ensure that our plans for Numina go smoother than they did with Synapse.

Debriefing

I thank you, Character, for saving my people from the taint of magic, though I imagine your motives were to save your people from my own.

Lemkin's words are... they cause me to pause, Character. I have never questioned anything that our masters have told us. But it seems for Lemkin... his lack of understanding caused all of this.

Even still, we have always been told to not enter a dialog with those such as yourself; yet here I am, disobeying that, in order to save the people. We were never told the why, just simply to obey. I thought Lemkin a fool... but yet, I do the same as he, for the same reason; to save our people.

I... will think on this, on you and I working together, Character. For now, we have nothing left. You will go on to become a hero of the people. I will soon be transferred to the Zig to rot in a cell, all for following the orders of our masters. There is no rescue for me, not when I have broken our oaths, and our laws.
