Grim and Gritty Pt. 1
Spider-Man starts

Wasp: Awesome outfit!

Grim and Gritty Pt. 2

Black Widow: We need to talk about that suit...
Symbiote Spider-Man: Pretty great, huh? I thought my old outfit was cool, but now I can't even remember what it looked like.
Black Widow: Because this suit is taking over your brain.
Symbiote Spider-Man: What are you talking about?
Black Widow: It's an alien. It's feeding on your thoughts and emotions, and making you increasingly hostile. The longer it's attached to you, the more it takes control.
Symbiote Spider-Man: You're jealous.
Black Widow: Excuse me?!
Symbiote Spider-Man: If this suit was an evil mind-controlling super alien, do you really think I'd be as afraid of you as I am right now?
Reward: 20 Oscoins

Grim and Gritty Pt. 3
Spider-Man starts

Symbiote Spider-Man: I think you're right about this suit affecting my emotions.
Black Widow: I'm glad you can still recognize it. I'll dig around, and see if I can find out more about the alien, and ways to get it off of you.
Symbiote Spider-Man: We should go dancing.
Black Widow: Why?
Symbiote Spider-Man: I don't think I should be alone. And I think I should stay away from anything involving fighting until I'm sure I'm in control. But I don't think anything should stop me from dancing with you.
Black Widow: Why are you trying to make your voice sound deeper?
Symbiote Spider-Man: Maybe you just never noticed my natural manliness...

Spider-Man Reach New Heights, 4h
Black Widow Hack the System, 2m
Spider-Man Conquer Evil, 2h, requires Black Widow

Black Widow: You know what I did to the last guy who tried to put his hand on me while dancing?
Symbiote Spider-Man: Chopped his hand off?
Black Widow: How'd you know?
Symbiote Spider-Man: We're soulmates. Also, it seems like something you would do.
Black Widow: You aren't yourself. You've already lost control. We have to get that outfit off of you.
Symbiote Spider-Man: Now you're talking.
Reward: 20 Oscoins

Grim and Gritty Pt. 4
Spider-Man starts

Loki: Very nice. I can practically feel the evil oozing off of you.
Symbiote Spider-Man: What do you want?
Loki: The Widow Woman is collaborating with that maniac Pym on a sonic flamethrower to fry this alien posing as clothing to a crisp.
Symbiote Spider-Man: What. Do. You. Want?
Loki: I want to tutor you in the ways of controlling evil tendencies. I want to help you hold on to that suit and its amazing powers.
Symbiote Spider-Man: Why?
Loki: I have a kind and generous soul.

Spider-Man Attack the Target, 1h
Spider-Man Reach New Heights, 4h
Loki Wield Sorcery, 1m

Symbiote Spider-Man: I feel so much better. What did you do?
Loki: Magic.
Symbiote Spider-Man: I'll be able to control the suit now?
Loki: All that's important is that it will no longer be able to control you.
Symbiote Spider-Man: Do I need to do anything special?
Loki: Just be yourself. The manipulative mind-control experts will take it from here...
Reward: 20 Oscoins

Spider-Man: Oscorp is experimenting with something called Symbiotech. I think I can incorporate it into my suit to give me awesome new powers, but it might be dangerous. What do you think?
Iron Man: I think you're only asking me because you know you want it, and you know I'll tell you to get it because it's cool and I have no impulse control...

Secret Wars Pt. 1


Spider-Man starts

Nick Fury: Last time we talked, I told you to drop the secret identity.
Spider-Man: I thought about it. A lot. But I want to keep my normal life, and I want to make sure the people around me are safe.
Nick Fury: Your call, but we already have enough to deal with without hiding our real selves from the world. Secrets like that will eat you up...
Spider-Man: Is that why your hair fell out?
Nick Fury: Get to work, Parker.

Spider-Man Get a Good Shot, 30m
Spider-Man Work on Your Aim, 1h

Nick Fury: Nice to see you've been practicing...
Spider-Man: I have been. And I've been out there fighting. I just get nervous when I'm here. It seems like everybody's always walking in circles or doing the same thing over and over. I feel like they're spying on me...
Nick Fury: Some of them are.
Reward: 10 Oscoins

Secret Wars Pt. 2
Spider-Man starts

Wasp: We need to combine our awesome picture powers to expose Oscorp!
Spider-Man: Sounds good. I'll use web fluid to make a camera trap.

Spider-Man: I found it. On the ground. By my foot...
Wasp: How do you know how to make a camera trap?
Spider-Man: My Aunt May taught me. She loves cameras and spiderwebs...

Spider-Man Wall-Crawl! 30m
Wasp Create a Buzz, 3m

Reporter Wasp: I'm afraid Oscorp isn't just making Octobots, but modifying them for different heroes and villains.
Spider-Man: I'm afraid this isn't just about framing Spider-Man, but some kind of dangerous secret experiment...
Reporter Wasp: I'm afraid of chickens and long words...
Spider-Man: ...
Reporter Wasp: It's called hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.
Reward: 10 Oscoins

Secret Wars Pt. 3
Spider-Man starts

Loki: So we meet again, Preston Porkchop...
Spider-Man: I knew I should've went the long way...
Loki: You're no god of mischief, Porkchop. Your secrets continue to eat you alive. If you aren't careful, those lies might pull you apart like Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder.
Spider-Man: ...
Loki: Two mystical goats that pull my brother's chariot. He's the worst at naming things...
Spider-Man: I don't want to lie, but I have to keep this secret...
Loki: Then I suggest you find a way to relax and have fun. I wouldn't want something unfortunate to happen...

Upgrade Spider-Man!
Spider-Man Test the Waters, 30m
Loki Master the Dance Floor, 2h

Too Many Geniuses Pt. 1

Spider-Man: There's so many great scientists t the Academy, and so many big problems like the timefog and Octobots, that I thought it would be cool to start our own think-tank.

Spider-Man: I propose The Illuminati.
Black Knight: Ancient Wisdom.
Captain Britain: Her Majesty's Masterminds!

Leader: The Supreme Intelligence!

Leader: The door was open... 

Spider-Man Invent Something, 3m
Iron Man Talk To J.A.R.V.I.S. 2h

Spider-Man: I thought a think-tank was a good idea, but you can't get super-scientists to agree on anything...
Iron Man: And it was a total sausage fest.
Spider-Man: Can we outsmart Oscorp by ourselves?
Iron Man: I don't know, but we should definitely act like we can.
Reward: 20 Oscoins 

Too Many Geniuses Pt. 2
Spider-Man starts

Black Widow: Quite worrying about the other scientists, and stop Oscorp yourself. J.A.R.V.I.S. can get you everything you need....
Spider-Man: Last time I saw you, you tricked me into going on a fake interrogation date...
Black Widow: Good idea. Let's go on another fake date, and compare intel. This campus is crawling with bugs.

Black Widow: I was making a bug joke.
Spider-Man: Good one. I mean, okay one if we're being honest...
Black Widow: It's funny because I'm Black Widow and you're Spider-Man.
Spider-Man: I'm--
Black Widow: I actually wasn't positive until I saw your reaction. Don't worry, Spider-Man. Your secret's safe with me.

Reward: 20 Oscoins

Ham It Up Pt. 1

Spider-Man: Hey, I'm Peter Parker...
Spider-Ham: I'm Peter Porker, but everybody calls me Spider-Ham!

Spider-Ham Defy the Laws of Hamity! 4h

Spider-Man: That was amazing!
Spider-Ham: Thanks! I used to be really clumsy, but I've found that talking all the time while I'm doing my thing calms me down, and makes it easier.
Spider-Man: I always talk all the time! Usually because I'm nervous, but sometime I think I'm funny, but it's usually kinda corny, but it makes the bad guys distracted, and...but I'm not Spider-Man, and I don't fight bad guys, and I'm just a normal guy, and I should stop talking, but I can't, so you should stop me because--
Spider-Ham: Just be yourself, Peter Parker.
Spider-Man: You're the wisest anthropomorphic pig I've ever met...
Reward: 20 Oscoins  

Ham It Up Pt. 2
Spider-Ham starts

Nick Fury: It's great to have you at Avengers Academy, but I'm gonna need to evaluate your fighting skills to see where you're at.

Nick Fury: In this world, you're just another wannabe Avenger who needs to show me why he deserves to stay at my school.
Spider-Ham: You're less intimidating when you look like a teddy bear...

Reward: 20 Oscoins

Ham It Up Pt. 3
Spider-Ham starts

Spider-Ham: I'm sorry if I made it weird by sort of asking you out...
Wasp: Yeah. I'm just not interested. Sorry...
Spider-Ham: Is it because I'm a pig?
Wasp: Yeah. It's pretty much because you're a pig...
Spider-Ham: It's okay. I had to at least try to get a date with the coolest, prettiest girl here...
Wasp: I'm gonna give you such a big friend hug right now!

Upgrade Spider-Ham! 14 x Ham Tracers (Special Event Missions), 14 x ?, 1698 Oscoins

Spider-Ham Banter Battle! 1h

Spider-Ham: This has been the best day. I made a new friend, got a kiss on the cheek, and got to banter it up with J.A.R.V.I.S.! He's really good at pig puns...

Spider-Ham: It's time for this pig to punch some bad guys...
Reward: 20 Oscoins

Spider-Ham starts

Spider-Ham: Everybody says you're the best spy here, so I was hoping you'd help me clear Spider-Man's name by searching the campus for clues to whatever Oscorp is planning.
Black Widow: Sure, I've been looking into them since they got here. Let's compare intel when I get something solid.

The Hero We Deserve Pt. 2
Spider-Ham starts

Black Widow: Looks like portals are just one of the things Oscorp is working on. I'm guessing that they found something in one of them that they're trying to exploit.
Spider-Ham: Yeah. I got a view from above, and there's definitely something bigger going on behind the scenes...
Black Widow: You okay? You're usually just as smily as Wasp and the other Peter...
Spider-Ham: I'm fine. Homesick maybe...
Black Widow: Do you want to talk about it?
Spider-Ham: No, but thanks. I just need to be alone for a little bit. Figure out my next move...

Loki: Mischief and mirth make us stronger. Ask anyone here. I have the most fun, but I've saved this Academy more times than you could count on your stubby little pig fingers.

Great Responsibility Pt. 2

Falcon: I was gonna warn you about hanging out with Loki, but it looks like you figured it out for yourself.
Spider-Ham: He's not that bad. He is a really bad dancer though...
Falcon: I like to get my groove on too, so I try not to judge...
Spider-Ham: I wanna check out some of the crimes Spider-Man's being blamed for. Can you fly around campus, and see if you find any clues to what Oscorp is up to?
Falcon: For sure, but be careful. New York makes this place look like a picnic.

Falcon: You know I got your back, Spider-Ham.
Spider-Man: Of course I'll help, but I'm kind of nervous about how I'll act around a bunch of animal people. I ramble when I'm uncomfortable. Do we talk about how they're animals? Is it okay to stare? I shouldn't stare. Just punch me if I stare too much...

Spider-Menace!

Iron Man starts

Doctor Octopus: I continue to question the sanity of moving our operation to Avengers Academy...
Green Goblin: It's rude to question someone's sanity. Just respect my right to be insane.
Doctor Octopus: Our experiments will provide us with limitless power. Moving the laboratory here only introduces unpredictable elements...
Green Goblin: Tony Stark will respect my genius. The Avengers will feat the Sinister Six. It's not good enough to succeed, Doctor. I need to seem the fail.
Doctor Octopus: And if Spider-Man interferes again?
Green Goblin: I'll finally introduce him to the Green Goblin...

Iron Man Get Some Fresh Air, 1m

Iron Man: Norman Osborn! Remember when we were at that super-science fair, and you talked trash to me, and then I won, and you cried, and you did that weird laugh, and everybody thought it was sad and scary?
Green Goblin: I moved Oscorp's labs here to work alongside you, and the other great super-scientists at Avengers Academy. I believe we can use our collective genius to make the world a better place.
Iron Man: What's in your purse?
Green Goblin: It's a satchel.
Iron Man: What's in your satchel?
Green Goblin: Explosives.
Iron Man: You don't have to cry about it.
Reward: 10 Oscoins 


WORLD NEWS: SPIDER-MENACE!
Exciting news from Avengers Academy as ingenious entrepreneur Norman Osborn has relocated his Oscorp facilities to work with Tony Stark, and the Academy's assortment of young super-scientists. They'll attempt to stop the hero-turned-villain known as Spider-Man as he continues to commit crimes throughout New York City, capturing heroes, and covering entire buildings in gross, gooey webs. Daily Bugle Editor-in-Chief J. Jonah Jameson also plans to establish a satellite office at the Academy to "get close to the action, expose the Spider-Menace, and yell at kids about old-school journalism." In related news, a spider tried to crawl in my ear once, and I'm still creeped out about it.


Oscoin
Wasp starts

Green Goblin: I'm developing a new form of currency called Oscoin. It's fast, it isn't inflationary, and there's no need to trust in banks or central government.
Wasp: Awesome idea! Sounds like something Tony would invent, but if he made his own money, he'd put his face on it for sure!
Green Goblin: I don't have Tony Stark's ego.
Wasp: Or his fun personality! Or his underappreciated heroism! Or his perfect eyebrows! I'm super jealous of his eyebrows, but I can't spend as much time on mine as he does...

Get 50 Oscoins from the Mission Board!

Green Goblin: We're surrounded by idiots. After we've completed our experiments, and framed Spider-Man for our crimes, I'll turn Avengers Academy into the new Oscorp parking lot.
Doctor Octopus: If I was afraid to interact with idiots, I would never be able to step outside.
Green Goblin: Now that you mention it, I've never seen you go outside...
Doctor Octopus: My skin is exceptionally delicate.
Reward: 10 Oscoins

Spider-Ham: You're just like Iron Mouse!
Iron Man: Okay...
Spider-Ham: He's an awesome super-scientist who always says something inappropriate!
Iron Man: I do really like cheese...
Spider-Ham: You're furless Iron Mouse! You gotta be the one to help me save the day!
Iron Man: If I hadn't already met a talking raccoon this would be way weirder... 

Iron Man Talk to J.A.R.V.I.S. 2h

Iron Man: I'm not sure if Spider-Man is innocent, but Oscorp has definitely been working on interdimensional travel..
Spider-Ham: They're using Spider-Man as a scapegoat for their evil experiments! The Swinester Six tried to do the same thing in my world!
Iron Man: And Iron Mouse saved the day?

Welcome the Web-Head!
Black Widow starts

Iron Man: Spider-Man is a good guy. I think these Oscorp geeks are the ones covering everything in webs to frame him, but I need an assistant to prove it. Can you contact Peter Parker?
Pepper Potts: Last time I asked you about him you said, and I quote, "he's a good kid, but he was way too dumbfounded by my awesomeness to get any work done."
Iron Man: I knew you were hanging on my every word... 

Invite Spider-Man!

Spider-Man: Mr. Stark, er, Tony, it's great to see you again. Pepper told me you needed my help...
Iron Man: You know Pepper loves to exaggerate...
Spider-Man: Well, I'll help however I can even though you don't need it.
Iron Man: What do you know about Spider-Man?
Spider-Man: Me?! No...none..nothing...
Iron Man: Start studying. I wanna see if we can replicate his web fluid to prove that's what Oscorp is using to frame him...

Amazing Spider-Man!
Black Widow starts

Spider-Man: Hey, Mr. Jameson. I'm interning at Tony Stark's lab, but I was hoping you'd let me work as a freelance photographer for the Bugle. It's my Aunt's favorite paper, and I think I'm a pretty good photographer...
J. Jonah Jameson: Can you get me photos of the Spider-Menace?
Spider-Man: So we can clear his name, and let everyone know that he's a selfless hero doing the best he can?
J. Jonah Jameson: So I can put him behind bars, turn the world against him, and sell a ton of papers in the process.
Spider-Man: I'll do my best...

Spider-Man: There's a lot of people who think Spider-Man is a hero. He's the only one out there fighting The Sinister Six.
J. Jonah Jameson: Don't take this the wrong way, Parker, but you're a dumb kid who doesn't know anything about anything.
Spider-Man: Is Spider-Man even that big of a deal? Seems like this weird timefog is a bigger problem...
J. Jonah Jameson: Time and fog are two of the most boring words in the English language. Menace! Catastrophe! Hurricane! War! Celebrity plastic surgery gone horribly wrong! Those are the words that sell papers.
Spider-Man: Menacing Hurricane Causes Catastrophic War with Nosejob Gone Horribly Wrong?
J. Jonah Jameson: That's a heck of a headline.
Spider-Man: Thanks?

Green Goblin: I knew you'd be nervous.
Spider-Man: You know who I am?!
Green Goblin: You're Peter Parker. You're a reasonably talented scientist hiding in Tony Stark's cologne-drenched shadow. You're obviously a fan of mine.
Spider-Man: Obviously...
Green Goblin: Stop by the Oscorp labs sometime, Peter Parker. You might be surprised by what you find...
Reward: 30 Oscoins


That's a Wrap
Iron Man starts


Iron Man: I think we need to get you your own lab, Peter.
Spider-Man: Did I do something wrong?
Iron Man: Yeah, all the time. You're really clumsy, and you leave all my stuff feeling sticky. You should probably wash your hands more...
Spider-Man: Sorry, Tony.

J. Jonah Jameson: You expect me to believe that Oscorp is responsible for the New York crime spree? They buy more ad space in the Bugle than anyone.
Reporter Wasp: What's that have to do with anything?

Reporter Wasp: The first thing is to always blame everything on Spider-Man?
J. Jonah Jameson: You might have a future at the Bugle after all...

J. Jonah Jameson: No.
Wasp: Why not?
J. Jonah Jameson: This isn't some playtime internet fashion blog about who wore what, and where they wore it, and who wore it better. This is real news. Old-school journalism. We get our hands dirty. We drink coffee 'til our bellies burn. We expose threats like the Spider-Menace, and punks like the Sinister Six.
Wasp: You don't think I can play dirty?! I'll start my own news site! I'll bury your stupid tree-wasting, inky finger making paper, and you'll be begging for a job from me!

The Webs We Weave Pt. 1
Black Widow starts

Black Widow: Have you seen the news about Spider-Man committing crimes all over New York, and trapping heroes in spider webs?
Iron Man: You know what they say about heroes who name themselves after spiders...
Black Widow: No, I don't. Please enlighten me.
Iron Man: That we should help clear their names because they're obviously the best, most honorable heroes around...
Black Widow: Smooth save, Tony.

Black Widow Hack the System, 2m
Iron Man Talk To J.A.R.V.I.S. 2h

Iron Man: I'm guessing somebody found a way to replicate Spider-Man's web fluid to set him up.
Black Widow: Who would do something like that?
Iron Man: Someone I was hoping I'd never see again...
Reward: 10 Credits

The Webs We Weave Pt. 2
Iron Man starts

Doctor Octopus: It looks as if Iron Man and his Avengers Academy friends are actively attempting to uncover our plans...
Green Goblin: Good.
Doctor Octopus: I don't understand your logic.
Green Goblin: Framing Spider-Man was only phase one of the plan, Doctor. I won't be happy until Iron Man goes down with him... 

Iron Man Do Super-Science, 3m
Iron Man Tinker with Tech, 1h
Black Widow Search for Clues, 1m

Green Goblin: That's the Osborn way.
Reward: 10 Credits 

The Webs We Weave Pt. 3
Wasp starts

Nick Fury: Is there something you wanna tell me?
Spider-Man: No. I mean, I don't mind having a friendly conversation. Actually, I'll probably just tell you whatever you want. If we're being real, I don't think I'd do too well under interrogation.
Nick Fury: If Spider-Man isn't the one covering the city in webs, then why is The Daily Bugle blaming him for everything?
Spider-Man: Maybe you should ask J. Jonah Jameson? 
Nick Fury: Maybe I will... 

Wasp Create a Buzz, 3m
Iron Man Get Some Fresh Air, 1m
Black Widow Search for Clues, 1m

Nick Fury: You wanna admit that you're using your newspaper to ruin Spider-Man's name based off nothing but some spiderwebs?
J. Jonah Jameson: No. Do you want to admit that you caused the timefog epidemic, and you're the reason the world is being overrun by costumed freaks?
Nick Fury: No. But I do wanna invite you to move your offices to Avengers Academy.
J. Jonah Jameson: Why?
Nick Fury: As the Director of a learning institution, it would benefit my students to learn from a journalistic legend like yourself.
J. Jonah Jameson: And make it easier for your spies to find out everything I know?
Nick Fury: I'm all about transparency.
J. Jonah Jameson: You got a deal, Director Fury. We'll see who spills their secrets first...
Reward: 10 Credits 

The Webs We Weave Pt. 4
Loki starts

Loki: The Midgardian atmosphere generally makes me nauseous, but it seems to be increasingly filled with delicious lies and mischief...
Odin: There is a sinister storm coming, my son. I suggest you get ready to fight... 

Spider-Man arrives at Avengers Academy soon!

N.B. This says tomorrow, but that probably refers to today by now (23rd June). Fingers crossed!

The Lizard: You should ssspeak to Osssborn. It doesn't make sssenssse to move our operationsss until our sssecret experimentsss are finished.
Doctor Octopus: Don't boss Doctor Octopus, reptile. Speak to Osborn yourself.
The Lizard: He doesssn't lisssten.
Doctor Octopus: Because he's insane.
The Lizard: What doesss that make usss?

Black Knight: That sounds weird and gross and dangerous and insane...
Hank Pym: That's science!
Black Knight: You just said that... 
Hank Pym: An exclamation is only valid if the results can be repeated!

Winter Soldier: I wrote it for the world in these dark times. I know what it's like to question who you really are.
Black Knight: Who are you?
Winter Soldier: Who are any of us? I asked Black Widow the same thing, and she said she would search for clues to help you find your true self.

Reward: 20 Credits


King for a Day Pt. 1

Reward: 20 Credits

King for a Day Pt. 2

Ancient Wisdom
Iron Man starts

Enchantress: Black Knight's sword is weakened, but remains impervious to magic, and the Starstone is losing its effectiveness...
Iron Man: Maybe I should talk to him. English people love me...
Enchantress: He's American.
Iron Man: Americans. Am I right?
Enchantress: You're all Midgardian to me. We need more powerful artifacts to eliminate the curse, and we need to travel beyond this planet to get them. Loki and I will summon an ancient portal, and you will enter it in search of artifacts.
Iron Man: Is it safe?
Enchantress: It's an interstellar portal made of rocks.

Get an Ancient Portal, 2 x Magic Runes (Mission Board), 1h
Activate the Ancient Portal! 3 x Magic Runes (Mission Board)

N.B. You will need to activate the portal using 3 Magic Runes each time it is used. The portal is open for 1h, during which you can send 2 characters (even though it shows 3 slots...). The missions last longer than 1h, so it is only necessary to start them searching during that time. You cannot open the portal & send characters again until both characters have returned.

Iron Man Search for Magic Artifacts, 3h
Iron Man: That was awesome! Have you ever been to Nidavellir?!
Enchantress: That wretched Dwarven hovel? Of course not...
Iron Man: They're amazing engineers! They made Thor's hammer and Odin's spear and I was helping them with a new weapon called Stormbreaker!
Enchantress: Stormbreaker? Who names these things?
Iron Man: Me and hairy Dwarven dudes!
Enchantress: That figures...
Reward: 20 Credits


Knight Fight!
Wasp starts

Black Knight: Admit defeat, foul demoness! The Black Knight will smite you down, and the Ebony Blade will feed on your powers and eternal soul!
Wasp: I'm totally gonna slap your face so hard...

Defeat Black Knight! 22h timer, 310 HP
You can send 3 characters to attack The Black Knight out of Iron Man, Loki, Wasp, Union Jack and Captain Britain. Costs 1 Magic Artifact per character fighting, so if you use 3 at once it costs 3 Magic Artifacts to battle the Black Knight. For those playing during GotG, it works just like fighting Ronan. Awards 20 Chalices for beating him.


Black Knight: You think you've won? As long as the Ebony Blade blazes darkly in my hand, the Black Knight will fight on!
Wasp: I'm not gonna lie, it's a super cool sword for sure...
Reward: 20 Credits




What If I'm Defeated?


Iron Man, Loki, Wasp and Union Jack take 4h 45m to heal whereas Captain Britain takes 9h 45m. You can heal them using Med Packs.

10 x Small Med pack (heals 15%): 15 Shards
5 x Medium Med pack (heals 50%): 45 Shards
5 x Large Med pack (heals 100%): 80 Shards



The Clash
Wasp starts

Union Jack: Be careful. The Black Knight is a crazed warrior with a magical weapon. A single blow from the Ebony Blade could kill you...
Loki: Relax, Flag Man. Everyone in my family is a crazed warrior with a magical weapon...

Defeat Black Knight 2 Times!

Black Knight: I've fought sorcerers like you before. You're formidable from a distance, but you always run away when the fighting gets tough...
Loki: You may have fought sorcerers, but you've never met anyone like Loki.
Reward: 20 Credits


Curses!
Loki starts

Captain Britain: The Ebony Blade was forged by Merlin. Other Arthurian artifacts could hold the key to removing its curse...
Loki: Who is this Merlin?
Captain Britain: A legendary sorceror.
Loki: I'll be the judge of that...

Loki Study Arcane Lore, 3m

Loki: Your Merlin is a magical fraud. He might as well be my father if he was skinny with a pointy hat.
Captain Britain: He gave me my powers. He forged the Ebony Blade. I once saw him single-handedly defeat an ingenious time-travelling conqueror...
Loki: I've done things!
Reward: 20 Credits


The Fabled Blade
Loki starts

Captain Britain: Loki didn't seem very enthused about the idea, but I believe collecting artifacts tired to Merlin might weaken the Ebony Blade, and increase our charges of defeating the Black Knight.
Enchantress: Loki is a jealous little imp who would rather lose his life than admit his inferiority.
Captain Britain: I can give you the location of the legendary Sword in the Stone located in Otherworld. It's imbued with more of Merlin's magic than any other artifact.
Enchantress: We once found Loki in Odin's throne room with a hammer in his hand and a steel cooking pot on his head. He was jumping up and down saying "I'm the god of thunder!" while making lightning noises.
Captain Britain: Can we please go retrieve the sword in the stone? It's critically important, and may be our punky chance of beating the Black Knight...
Enchantress: Nothing is more important than humiliating Loki...

Get The Sword in the Stone, 100 Credits

Enchantress: What is it with you men having to prove your worth by picking up heavy things?
Captain Britain: I'm secure in my masculinity.
Enchantress: Perhaps, but you still aren't strong enough to pull the sword from the stone...
Captain Britain: I'll show you!
Reward: 20 Credits


The Dark of Knight
Loki starts

Black Knight: Flee while you still can, foul pixie. It's time to finish this battle...
Wasp: AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Black Knight: ...
Wasp: I've totally been working on my war cry! 

Defeat Black Knight 4 Times!

Loki: We work surprisingly well together...
Wasp: Our relationship is super complicated!
Loki: Not exactly. I just find you annoying and frequently terrifying, yet periodically useful.
Wasp: You be the good cop! I'll be the bad cop!
Loki: What's a cop?
Wasp: You better start giving me something solid or I'll drag you to the slammer!
Reward: 20 Credits


Knightfall
Wasp starts

Union Jack: It's over, Black Knight. The Starstone and Runes have drained your power. The sword's hold over you is weakening. Fight it, and you can finally be free...
Black Knight: Or I can just fight you, and be free of your prattling...
Union Jack: We've tried reason and magic. Let's see if we can beat that curse out of you for good...

Defeat Black Knight again to Recruit Him! 

Black Knight: Where am I?
Wasp: Avengers Academy! You look a little less scary! Are you back to normal?
Black Knight: I guess so. What happened?
Wasp: Your magic sword cursed you, and made you power crazy! You kidnapped two of England's strongest heroes, and threatened to kill the Avengers! I posted a pic of my lunch, and only three people liked it! I'm trying not to let it bother me!
Black Knight: Am I welcome here?
Wasp: For sure! Avengers Academy is full of crazy people!


Reward: 20 Credits


Avenger's Best Friend
Wasp starts

Wasp: Oh my goooooooooooosh! You're so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!
British Bulldog: ...
Wasp: When I ordered a British Bulldog, I totally didn't know he'd come with a crown and everything!
British Bulldog: ...
Wasp: I figure since the Ebony Blade was made in England, having more English things around might distract it! Are you ready for battle, boy?!
British Bulldog: ...
Wasp: Avengers Assemble!
British Bulldog: Woof! 

Get the British Bulldog! 15 Chalices

Union Jack: This is literally the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen...
British Bulldog: Woof.
Union Jack: No offense, mate.
Reward: 20 Credits 


Whispers with Dogs
Wasp starts

Nick Fury: I like you, dog. I can tell you've seen some things.
British Bulldog: ...
Nick Fury: I like Cosmo too, but he creeps me out. Nothing against Russians, I just don't like telepaths talking in my head. You know what I mean?
British Bulldog: ...
Nick Fury: How'd you like to be our new mascot? I'll have some students spread the word, and see if having a dog with a crown around helps with recruiting.
British Bulldog: ...
Nick Fury: While they're doing that, I'll tell you the whole history of Avengers Academy. Why I built it here. What caused the timefog. What I'm hiding in the underground vaults. Everything. It'll feel good to finally get all that off my chest...
British Bulldog: Woof.

Falcon Blast Off! 1m

Hawkeye: Hey, buddy. You like pizza?
British Bulldog: Woof.
Hawkeye: You're right. Dumb question. Everybody likes pizza.
British Bulldog: Woof.
Hawkeye: If Fury's allowing pets now, I might have to finally join. You and my dog Lucky can run around and poop on the lawn. Seems like everybody here only walks on the sidewalks anyway...
British Bulldog: Woof! Woof!
Hawkeye: I'm excited too, but I can't come here until I train a new Hawkeye to protect the neighborhood...
Reward: 20 Credits


Speak the Truth
Loki starts

Union Jack: I did some snooping around, and discovered that there's an ancient artifact called the Brazier of Truth hidden somewhere in Garrett Castle...
Loki: And this Brazier of Truth is actually a cauldron of lies?!
Union Jack: No. It's how previous Black Knights have cleansed the Ebony Blade to temporarily remove its curse.
Loki: Why would you think I'd want that?
Union Jack: It's not a present. It's a way to ensure that the Black Knight will never again succumb to the curse. It won't only protect him and the Academy, but the entire world.
Loki: Fine. I have been complaining about the lack of magical decor...

Get the Brazier of Truth!

Loki: Placing the Ebony Blade in this magical fire pit temporarily removes all lies and evil intent?
Union Jack: Maybe we should put you in there...
Loki: There isn't enough fire in all of Midgard...
Reward: 20 Credits


Hunky-Dory
Loki starts


Black Knight: Thanks again for breaking the curse, Loki. I'm sure I can control the Ebony Blade now...
Loki: Do you honestly believe it's a good idea to keep using that sword?
Black Knight: I need my sword and my trusty steed to protect Camelot.
Loki: You do realize that this isn't a medieval castle?
Black Knight: Stand aside, miniature wizard! I must protect my kingdom!
Loki: I liked you better when you were evil.

Loki Wield Sorcery, 1m
Black Knight Gallop Onward! 15m

Loki: What are you looking at?
British Bulldog: Grrrrr...
Loki: You actually know, don't you? You're probably the smartest one here. Although that's saying much...
British Bulldog: Grrrrr...
Loki: Anyone who thought I was going to help construct a magic portal without getting something in return clearly hasn't been paying attention. Some of these artifacts aren't quite what they seem to be...
British Bulldog: Woof?
Loki: Believe it or not, my intentions are relatively pure. I'm more interested in revealing Fury's secrets and lies than perpetuating my own, and these artifacts may be the key.
British Bulldog: Woof!
Loki: Follow me, wrinkly beast. I've always secretly wished for my own sidekick...
Reward: 20 Credits
