I fixed an issue with this on the second mission. The jail doors on jail maps were apparently a bit much for native level 10s, so I made the map fixed to one without the jail.

Good job. This was lots of fun to play. I especially like the humor mixed in.

Good luck in the contest.

I was unable to complete this arc as a Level 5 Scrapper because the ambushes on the final boss just made it virtually impossible. Other than that it was relatively alright, I was still pretty sure I'd need to have another stab at him (after being killed) even if there were no ambushes, but with them, I was just....:|



Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.

This arc has been unpublished. This was necessary, because it contained exploits.

I wrote this one especially for Dr. Aeon's second mission architect contest. The theme of the contest revolved around creating missions for levels 10 and under, and heroes losing their powers. I tried to depict this by contrasting two allies, and having Flower Knight come to the rescue of a mostly helpless but still combative Statesman.

I did not know at the time I wrote it that the use of multiple allies in this way was considered abusive. Now that I do know, I have removed the offending story. Other missions in the arcs included exploitative elements like captive rescues; they were only there to add features and flavor and could have been removed; but in the mission in question, the exploit was inherent to the story, and I could not figure out a way to depict the same plot elements without resorting to these abusive features.
