Arc Name: One Too Many Lines Crossed
I.D: 347205
Enemy Groups: Longbow, Arachnos, Custom Group
Level Range: 40-44
Difficulty: Soloable.

This arc was created for Dr. Aeon's Challenge (An arc where a hero must do a villainous deed for the greater good).
In this arc, your hero must infiltrate Arachnos in order to find information on a 5th Column Rogue who is hiding somewhere in the Isles. This must be done before the rogue can form a resistance against the 5th Column and to divert a large scale war between the two and possibly The Council. Your hero must survive the various tasks one of the Arachnos Arbiters puts before him/her. But how far will your hero's morality bend?

I'm currently looking for any feedback on this arc

If this was a copy/paste of the mission description text then I'll point out your typos so far:

No, it wasn't a copy and paste of the description, but thanks for pointing out those typos. I honestly have no idea how I made those mistakes :S

Posting my thoughts on this in my One A Day thread.

Okay, changed the Mission 1 Map to St. Martial- The Flush to increase the overall amount of fighting in the arc.

Currently looking for feedback about the character of the contact and how consistent the story feels.

There are still a lot of simple typos.

Storywise, I really enjoyed this one. The pacing works well, and you get a really good sense why both the protagonist and antagonist are in the situation they are in.

That's tough to do in the structure of an MA arc, but it is done rather well here. The story is not only told well, but it has that omniscient inner monologue that works so well in comics. This makes what we have to read very concise and informative, and we get the mindset of the characters very readily.

For purposes on the contest, however, the story is pretty 'safe'. I found it enjoyable, but understated. The story, nor the mechanisms, really go beyond the outline of the contest.
