Fang for Your Buck

Fang for Your Buck was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Kassandra spoke to a street vendor who requested her to recover a number of items.

Dialogue

A street vendor drew Kassandra's attention while she was in Gortyn.

• Street Vendor: I have quite the deal to offer you, if you're open to a business partnership?
  You there! Misthios! Yes, you!

Kassandra gave them her attention.

I work alone.Business sounds profitable.

• Kassandra: Where you make drachmae, and I make drachmae? That kind of partnership?
• Street Vendor: Exactly! Equal work, equal pay.

• Kassandra: What exactly did you have in mind?
• Street Vendor: I craft bows from rare, exotic items. I've been commissioned to make one using the only finest quality fangs. One from a lynx, one from a lioness, and one from a shark. I could make one for you, too, if you'll help.
• Kassandra: I'll fetch the fangs for you, if you tell me where to find them. Though sharks have teeth, not fangs—
• Street Vendor: A mere technicality! A "fang bow" sounds better. Now, there were questions?

(If players choose "Where can I find a lynx?")

• Kassandra: If you want a lynx's fang, I'll need a heading.
• Street Vendor: Of course! Lynxes can be found north of the Lost Minoan Shrine in Zeus' Playground. And be careful, they're feisty.

(If players choose "Where can I find a lioness?")

• Kassandra: A lioness? In Krete?
• Street Vendor: As luck would have it, one is being transported for a rich man on the road from Phaistos Village to Gortyn City.

(If players choose "Where can I find a shark?")

• Kassandra: Where can I find sharks around here?
• Street Vendor: Perhaps you've heard of "the ocean"?

Kassandra glared at the vendor.

• Street Vendor: Octopus Bay! Try Octopus Bay, it's full of the cursed things.

(If players choose "Leave—I have enough information.")

• Kassandra: I'll get them for you.
• Street Vendor: Thank you, misthios.

Kassandra first headed to the road between Phaistos Village and Gortyn. Along the way, she found the cart, with its driver and passengers dead.

• Kassandra: That must be the cart that was transporting the lioness.

She approached the cart.

• Kassandra: The driver must've lost control, and the lioness' cage broke open.

She investigated a body nearby, recovering a letter.

• Letter from Lioness Handler:
  Make sure this fine beast reaches the great city of Gortyn unharmed. Should you harm her, you'll be FED TO HER.
• Kassandra: Hmm. A note. The driver was to deliver the lioness to the leader of Gortyn.

Kassandra followed the blood trails to where the lioness was at. After killing the lioness, she looted its fang. Kassandra then next traveled to Zeus' Playground, killing a lynx and recovering its fang. Finally, she traveled to Octopus Bay, killing a shark and recovering its teeth. Having collected all the fangs, she returned to the vendor in Gortyn.

• Street Vendor: Misthios, my humble hands have been commissioned to craft a bow using but a single fang from each a lioness, a lynx, and a shark. Do you have any?

I have fangs to sell.I want to keep my fangs.

• Kassandra: I have the fangs you need, if you're willing to negotiate a fair price for them.
• Street Vendor: Of course! I know the value of a good tooth.
  Would your own mighty bow crafted from fangs be considered a "fair price"? It would have great... bite.
• Kassandra: Deal.
  Hmm a bow worthy of Artemis...

• Kassandra: I have other uses for these fangs.
• Street Vendor: I suppose what you do with the teeth of beasts is your own business. Though... perhaps I could hire you to get more lion, lynx, and shark fangs for me? I'll make you a custom bow with them as payment...

Outcome

Kassandra acquired fangs from a lynx, lioness and shark for a weaponsmith to craft a "fang bow".

Trivia
