Description

The Keos pirate Xenia tasked Kassandra with finding the lost Golden Feather of Ajax.

Dialogue

Kassandra returned to Xenia at the Temple of Athena Nedousia in Keos.

• Xenia: Ah, the mighty misthios. You proved yourself capable before... I could use your talents. One like you is always interested in more drachmae, yes?

I'm always interested in getting paid.Payment is fine, but I'm happy to help you.

• Kassandra: Always happy to hear the clink of drachmae. Tell me what you want.

• Kassandra: Payment is well and good. But I'm happy to help you. Tell me what you're thinking.

• Xenia: I have an appetite for rare treasures. I've heard many veiled rumors and provocative stories, and I want you to recover some of these lost wonders for me.

I'll bring you the treasures.I'm too busy.

• Kassandra: Tell me where to look, and I'll bring you these treasures.

• Kassandra: I don't have the patience to go chasing after children's stories.

(If players return to talk to her.)

• Xenia What tide sweeps you back to me, Kassandra? Are you up for finding my treasures now?

• Xenia: Have you heard of the mighty Ajax?
• Kassandra: One of Homer's heroes.
• Xenia: Yes! He had a golden eagle feather, a gift from Zeus.
• Kassandra: And why do you care about it?
• Xenia: It is a rare reminder of a glorious age. And so deserves to be in my grasp. Take these maps and see if you can find it.

(If players choose "Where is the feather?")

• Kassandra: Where will I find this golden eagle feather?
• Xenia: Different tales place it at different locations. I have maps showing where you might find it.

(If players choose "What is the story of the feather?")

• Kassandra: What can you tell me about Ajax's feather?
• Xenia: The son of Telamon was said to be a fearless giant. Some say the golden feather that gave him courage was woven into a shield crafted of seven ox hides. The shield is long destroyed, but Zeus' feather remains.

(If players choose "Leave – I'll start my search.")

• Kassandra: I'll find this feather for you, if it's there to be found.

Sometime later, Kassandra, having acquired the feather, returned to an eager Xenia.

• Xenia: You return on the wind. Do you have Ajax's golden feather for me?

It'll cost you.I'll give you the feather.

• Kassandra: Here. One golden eagle feather, per request.
• Xenia What a pretty, pretty thing.
• Kassandra: Glad you're happy. Now, my pay?
• Xenia Calm yourself. Here, for your trouble.
• Kassandra: Thanks.

• Kassandra: Here, have it. It's lovely, no?
• Xenia Yes, it will fit nicely in my collection.

Outcome

Kassandra helped Xenia recover Ajax's golden feather.
