Mission:Common - Recover idols from the Banished Pantheon
Recover the idols from the Banished Pantheon (22-25)
Briefing
There was a break-in at the Paragon City Museum. The thieves stole two items on loan to the museum from Mexico, stone idols to the Aztec gods Coatilcue and Tlaloc. One of the guards identified the thieves as members of the Banished Pantheon cult. Will you recover the idols from the Banished Pantheon? They probably have the idols under magical guard; you'll need a teammate to help break their spells of protection.
Mission Acceptance
I don't know the reason for the Banished Pantheon's interest in the old Aztec gods, but it can't bode well.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Those Aztec idols are still sacred to some. I really need you to get them back in one piece.
Mission Objective(s)
The ground of the tunnels is damp and water-logged, and you are struck by the smell of fresh earth.
- Defeat lead cultist, his coven
- 2 idols to recover simultaneously
You have recovered the missing idols.
Despite what the mission objective text says, the requirement to activate the objectives simultaneously was removed in Issue 25 allowing this task to be completed solo.
This idol is dedicated to the Aztec goddess Coatilcue, the Earth Mother.
This idol is dedicated to Tlaloc, the Aztec God of Rain.
Debriefing
Recovering those idols stopped a minor international incident, Character. From what you tell me, it sounds as though the Pantheon planned to feed on the spirits of those old Aztec gods. Fascinating. I cannot begin to fathom their motives.
