This is the second publish for this single mission arc, I didn't want to delve to deep into a story since this is on test and I've still got to work out the backstory for the Shadowsmith cabal (I've left the critter info blank except for two critters - Elegiac Dirge & Teneborous Lament).
Happily, my L50 blaster died about 3 times in the current arc

Comments: This arc could be easy or it could be hard depending on who plays it, and on which archetypes. The minions have some ... interesting... power synergies, and the AV is one of the more dangerous ones in CoH lore. Bring friends, bring crowd control, bring Hello Kitty backpacks!

Difficulty Level: Easy
Synopsis: Classifieds: Welcome to Paragon! Where evildoers are so abundant we send heroes to fight them as soon as they have stamped their shiny new ID badge.
Estimated Time to Play: 20 minutes.
This is a low level arc (levels 1-9!), aimed straight at people who have just set foot in Atlas. You'll find that you will do a great deed if you answer that classified ad! Well, it's a small story compared to those who save the city, but I hope it'll make you feel good about being a hero.
