The Poisoned Water

1. Now that the Bassanio Lift has been repaired, the Civil Corps have been able to check out WOW Industries, the huge, abandoned factory just beyond the top of the Bassanio Falls. They will send you a letter asking for your help:

 We went and took a look at the source of the pollution, the goo's coming from a broken pipe located inside the tall building above Bassanio Falls. We suspect it's foul play. Can you fix it? That should be enough to stop any more goo from polluting the river. We've listed the items that we think will be needed to fix this pipe. Thanks!
2. Collect Steel Plates, Welding Rods, and Valves for the repairs.

3. Bring the items to WOW Industries, where Sam is waiting next to the leaking pipe.

▶️
  Sam: Here to fix the pipe?
▶️
  Player: Yep. What are you doing here?
▶️
  Sam: I'm investigating. We think someone intentionally broke this pipe. You can see the hand prints on the pipe. Now who would want to do that?

▶️  Sam: I don't think Duvos or Seesai would come all this way to Portia just to break a pipe.
▶️  Sam: Ha! Now that'd be interesting. I'm sure the mayor has his share of detractors out there.
▶️  Sam: Perhaps, but those two always have a motive. No matter how stupid it turns out to be.

▶️
  Sam: Alright, go and fix the pipe please.

3. Make the repairs. The leak is still going strong. Suddenly, the goo sends you and Sam into a large hole in the floor that leads to the depths of the building.

▶️
  Player: Sam? Sam!?
▶️
  Sam: I'm here!
▶️
  Player: What happened?
▶️
  Sam: I don't know...no one's been in this ruin before. Looks like it's part of the of sewage system.
▶️
 I've got a bad feeling about this.

 If thou dare, cometh at me three floors down!
▶️
  Sam: Oh! This sounds like a challenge. It's probably the villain, let's check it out.
▶️
  Player: Shouldn't we get some backup?
▶️
  Sam: No worries, you got me!

4. At the bottom, you find that the factory has become a dungeon, crawling with monsters (particularly Bandirats and their friends). Fight your way through the building until you reach a large arena. In the center is the Rat King, the father of the Rat Prince that you battled in The Cave on Amber Island.

 Art thou the one that ended my son?!

File:NAME.wav How rude! Cry havoc and let slip the rats of war!
File:NAME.wav Roooarr! O thou shall regret the day!
File:NAME.wav O ye doth amaze me to figure that out! Tis true! Now prepare thyself.

5. Now you must defeat him to complete the mission. The battle can be quite challenging, but fortunately you can leave using the glowing exit at the top of the ramp if you are not yet ready to face him. Return when you are ready and defeat the Rat King.

6. Finally, find the control room that will allow you to stop the leakage of the goo and TBDstep. Find the exit and return to town while Sam investigates the ruins some more.

▶️
  Sam: I'm going to stay and look around some more. You go tell the mayor about this.

7. Report to Gale to finish the mission.

▶️
  Gale: A talking rat? Ahaha, that's a grand tale. But then again, there are strange tales about the monsters from the Periphery, so I'm not surprised. But, the good news is that the goo's all gone, so thank you for your work! Let me give you some compensation!

8. After the mission is complete, the following story becomes available at the Portia Times:

 Portia Times: Recently, it was found that the water of the Portia River has been polluted by a source above Bassanio Falls. The Mayor asked the Civil Corps to quickly find the source and neutralize it, as the Portia River is the main water source for Portia. When Civil Corps member Sam took a Builder with her to the Wow Industries ruins to fix the source of the pollution, they found that it was the Rat King behind it all. Sam told me: The Rat King wanted revenge for the defeat of his son, the Rat Prince. Anyway, that's not the main point, it was talking! A talking rat, can you believe it? Sam said (player character) defeated the Rat King and fixed the pipes leaking the pollutant. According to the Research Center, they can no longer find any traces of the pollution in the water as of this writing. -The Portia Times, "Builder Defeats Rat King!" by Mei
