Arc Entries for Dr. Aeon's Second Challenge

As no one has created a composite thread yet with everyone's entries, I thought I'd step up and do it. I've gone through this section to try and get the arcs that have been publicly mentioned, but if I've missed yours, please let me know and I will add it to the list!

I compiled a shortlist in my Aeon's Challenge review thread, but this one is a lot more detailed and nicely formatted.

You forgot mine, it was one of the first entries but I put all of my arcs in the same thread so you might not have seen the updates.

Arc ID: 373846
Arc Title: Unfair Trade
Factions: Paragon Heroes, Paragon Police, Security Guards, Longbow, Strange Officeworkers
Morality: Villainous
Length: 4 Missions
Level Range: 5-10
Description: A friend you had made during your time in the Zig calls in a favor, leading to a quest to regain his powers while getting payback on the heroes who caused him to lose them.

Finally finished mine. Hopefully I can get some feedback before I have to submit it.

Holding Down the Fort
ID: 379065
Author: @LaserJesus
Synopsis: Lord Recluse has used his Web device to steal the powers of the Freedom Phalanx. With all of the big time heroes dealing with that threat, it's up to the rookie heroes and the police to keep the city safe in their absence.

I played the OP's "Too Clever by Half, id 378944", the author already knows... but I wanted to add: both of the challenge arcs I played today continued to be a mountain of fun! With so many completely different takes on the theme, it never gets dull. As much as "power loss" gives the arcs a common thread, Dr. Aeon's request for "something you wouldn't expect" never fails to make every arc stand out.

So give any of the challenge arcs a play. If you do play one or more in the next several hours you might even be able to make a difference for an author.

Arc: 379017: Outbroken See all your old friends in the Outbreak Tutorial sequel!
Arc: Coming Soon: The Incarnate Shadow Shard of Fire and Ice Mender Rednem needs you!

Synopsis: Mr. Bocor is one of the first victims of a group of masked vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, stopping illegal operations and pacifying villains' powers with surprising efficiency. He wants you to strike back at them and reverse whatever they've done to his Voodoun powers.
Enemy Groups: Custom Group, Wyvern, Legacy Chain.
WARNING: Elite Bosses, Archvillains!

Ya forgot mine! Although that isn't the re-worded synopsis, it still does a fine job at what it does.

Samuraiko,

Thanks for the nicely formatted list. It helped me find a couple of the entries that I had missed.


WN

I'm surprised, I didn't miss any on my list, though I didn't have the full details on all of them. Seems this contest is a little bit less popular than the last one. Still a little time for a few entries. And of course, however many entries were made and not advertised for either contest.

A Heart Breaking Story

Alignment: Heroic
Creator: @Arctic Princess
Level: 5-10
Arc ID #378511
Synopsis: Henry Peter Wong asks you to investigate the disappearance of a team of newly-registered Heroes. One of the said Heroes happens to be a Nuclear Ninety teenager by the name of Daniel Carson. Will you be able to save Danny and his teammates from the clutches of the Vazhilok?!
Enemy Groups: Vazhilok, Council


Phew, managed to email the entry in last night (not wanting to risk any errors in working out the difference between CST and GMT and lose out on entry to this competition!).

It's a short enough arc with, I hope, enough of a twist to make the player go 'Ooh!'

I've categorised the arc as 'Ideal for Teams', 'Canon-Related', and 'Sci-Fi'.

Enjoy.

Just finished mine!

Alignment: Heroic
Creator: @ArwenDarkblade
Level: 5-10
Arc ID #379393
Synopsis: A rescue effort turns complicated in this tale of magic, heroics, and ethics.

Got mine in at the last second.

Past Echoes of Tomorrow

Alignment: Heroic
Creator: @Equation
Level: 5-10
Arc ID #379399
Synopsis: You have just completed your tasks for City Hall, when you are approached by Numina...

Okay, I will update this list as soon as I get back from lunch. And cheers to everyone who created an arc!

Arc ID: 379045
Title: The Return of Doctor Null

Yeah, my scary orange text isn't actually scary either. And one of the biggest maps is actually the shortest mission. This is the first arc I've published that actually uses all five missions.

I sent D_R a PM, but I'll put it here too in case anyone else wants to play it - my arc for the challenge (emailed with 4 minutes to go before the deadline!) is:

Storming Citadel

Arc ID 379488

Synopsis: With just 10 minutes left before Citadel's mind is wiped, Positron turns to the only hero available for help - you! Travel to a location few heroes have travelled to (!) to save Talos' sturdy hero!

Here's the low-down on my arc:

Heroic
4 Missions
Description: Your friendship with the mysterious deceased hero known only as Dead 6 lead a villain to go straight after losing his superpowers. When you meet that man later, you and he recount your brief contact with Dead 6, perhaps to honor him in a way. [Ignore the scary orange text down there, trust me]

More info can be found in the thread I just created for it too.

And the winner is...

Author: Sister_Twelve
Synopsis: A chance meeting with an old woman on the streets of King's Row leads your hero into a plot 23 years in the making... and into the forgotten story of a heroine who deserves to be remembered.

Gratz to you, Sister_Twelve!

Been working my way through a couple lowbie arcs. Just tried "Night Calls the Weaver". It's absolutely amazing.
