Finale: Strike a Deal

Briefing

It is my belief that Rulu-Shin may be feeding artifacts and people they retrieved to some monster. If that is case, then we are in double trouble, as they say. We would go through all trouble without big pay off at end, especially if Tommy Arcanus is part of the feeding.

Feeding this monster mist make it more powerful, enough to help in grand goal of summoning Rularuu. But we can worry about that later, for now, there is much to talk about regarding Harry Stein.

  • Such as?

He has numerous security guards in his store. Not that it is something tobother you with, but it is something to note. I will circle ouside and take care of any incoming guards, but you will have to deal with guards inside, once alarm is tripped.

He currently is hosting viewing of number of artifacts that he has acquired. Most people live in Rogue Isles all of their lives and have dealt with super powered beings before. They will not flinch when they see you, yes?

What needs to happen is that you gain access to the vault to get artifacts. There is no way to do this without setting off alarms. I would suggest going straight to vault, but if you want to pay Harry Stein small visit and say 'thank you' for all trouble he caused, I would not be against it.

The biggest thing is to find artifacts and track down remaining Rulu-Shin in store. I do not think they would keep artifacts in vault, but because of that, you should be careful. Rulu-Shin may be using powerful artifacts, you should bring what they call 'A-Game' when going up against them.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I will be making sure that Harry Stein does not see you coming in meantime, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

Map: RULUSHIN_TUNNELS

The security guards outside the store eye you cautiously. They seem to be ready to start a fight at a moment's notice.

  • Attack the Rulu-Shin Hideout
    • Get into Rulu-Shin's vault
    • Defeat the Rularuu Sentry
    • Retrieve the skull of Tommy Arcanus
    • Fight off the Natterling Swarm
    • Track down the Zealous one and steal the skull of Tommy Arcanus

You've done what you came here for. The Rulu-Shin's plan is stopped, and they won't be moving it any further

Private Security Guard
Briefing

Character. Heard of you. What do you want?

  • I'm here to make a deal with your boss. Let me through.

Private Security Guard: Alright, but you try anything funny and you're dead, got it?

  • Sure.
Harry Stein
Briefing

Ah... Character, right? Well, great to see you. Just... great to see you.

Harry Stein at your service. What can I do for you?

  • I'm here for the stolen artifacts the Rulu-Shin have. Let's make this quick and simple.

Rulu-Shin? Artifacts?

Harry Stein lets out a laugh, running a hand along his sweaty cheeks.

I wish I knew what you were talking about! The Rulu-Shin are just a fairy tale, and all of my artifacts here were obtained through legal means.

Now, unless you'd like to be hired on for a little expedition I'm planning, I must ask you to leave.

  • I don't need you anyway, Stein. (Kill Harry Stein)
You kill Harry Stein, setting of the alarms in the building!
Editor's Note:

If they haven't already been aggroed otherwise, all Private Security Guards will turn hostile to you after killing Harry Stein.

  • I'm not done here yet, Stein. (Leave)

Ambush! If you decide to act suspiciously and enter the vault one large wave will spawn to converge on the Vault entrance.
Security Guard: Find the target, put them down!

Ambush! You are ambushed by a wave of Natterling Swarms as you approach the Hortha Vine portal.

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

Clue
The Skull of Tommy Arcanus

You defeated a member of the Rulu-Shin known as the Zealous One and recovered Numina's father, who appears to be... a talking skull? He begins to yell and scream at you, shouting various profanities and demanding to let him go.

Briefing

Alright, Character. You have my father. Now hand him over, now, or else this is going to get ugly very fast.

  • Alright, here you go
You hand the skull over to Numina, who looks somewhat surprised.
... What? Just like that? I'm... Somewhat confused, Character, but I'm not going to stick around to ask why you did this. Perhaps there is a noble soul in you somewhere.
Farewell, for now. I think...
  • See you around.
  • Don't make a move, or else your father's skull will end up in tiny little pieces
Numina glares at you, but she seems to understand the current situation.
Alright, Character. I know how this goes.
You want to bargain my father, don't you? Fine. I have an artifact that you can use.
It will fully heal you and anyone else who can stand to be around you - perfect for when you're getting hurt kicking puppies in the street.
I'll give you that in exchange for my father. Deal?
  • I knew we could come to a happy conclusion. Deal.
You and Numina make the exchange. Without another word, Numina vanishes in thin air with her father, who shouts a string of profanities at you before he vanishes.
(Leave)
Editor's Note:

You will recieve the Temporary Power Numina's Grace.

Power
Numina's Grace

Self + Pets Full Heal

Tapping into Numina's Grace will allow you to completely heal yourself and any of your pets. However, it can only be used a few times before it is exhausted. Recharge: Very Long. 3 uses left.

???: The skull of Tommy Arcanus has been recovered by Numina. However, I have the information found by the Rulu-Shin.
???: Numina's ability to possess someone else comes from the Arcanus family line, not from a specific spell she learned.
???: 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 we can go after the one you first spoke of?
???: Calm yourself. This is no simple plan, there are... steps that must be taken. But yes, we are moving towards that; hence the recovery of the power intensifier.
???: We must make our next move, one that will put Manticore and Statesman in our way. You know what to do.
???: ...Fine. I will send the message to Marshal Blitz and begin our trap. But you had better save the killing blow for me.
???: Oh, I shall. I believe I will begin to focus on what to do with Character when the time is right.

Debriefing

Well, Character, it was pleasure working with you. I believe we have stopped Rulu-Shin who are in Isles, for now. I take great satisfaction knowing that; I hope you gave yourself proper payment out of whole thing.

Rulu-Shin are still growing threat in America, however. I believe there are numerous senators who may be involved in group. That is nothing you need to worry about, however. I have secret I shall share with you, Character.

Spetsnaz, Russian government, we are aware of what Rulu-Shin are planning. They made wrong move in trying to rough me up, played right into trap. We do not intend on letting them get away with summoning Rularuu. Russia wil be ones to do what Americans cannot: save world. When that is done, we shall be seen as heroes, saving country of freedom from its own problems. World will change when that day comes, Character.

You can trust that Mother Russia will not forget working with you; this is first step amongst many.
