==Dialogue== | |||
In Lato, Kassandra spotted a group of townsfolk crowding around Leiandros. | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Who among you is afriad?! Who among you is frail or work?! Who among you... IS STRONG?! Then I say prove yourselves! Come face-to-face with He of the Blood-Soaked Hooves! He of the Entrail-Splattered Horns! You know his name, you know his roar! The Beast, the Myth... THE MINOTAAAAAUR!!! Maximum of three members per Minotaur hunting party; purchase of Minotaur-themed merchandise is mandatory before proceeding; no legendary warriors, pregnant heroes of legitimate gods (demi, semi, or otherwise) are eligible to fight the Minotaur; and no pushing—you'll all get a chance at dismemberment.'' | |||
Kassandra approached Leiandros. | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Ah, a mighty specimen approaches! Are you ready for honor? For glory?! For certain death?!'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''I'm ready for two-thirds of that.'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Then you seek combat with... THE MINOTAUR!'' | |||
<tabber> | |||
|-|If players already defeated the Minotaur= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''The Minotaur's already dead, by my hand.'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''You killed the Minotaur?!'' | |||
The man laughed. | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''I'm sorry my friend, you're very mistaken! Some scam artist fooled you with flame-lit corridors and flimsy costumes! The 100% genuine and completely real Minotaur lives here! And, uh, you better believe it!'' | |||
|-|If players have not defeated the Minotaur= | |||
</tabber> | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''If you slay the Minotaur, you would be [[Theseus]] reborn! And you'd get to take home the Prize of [[Pephka]]!'' | |||
(Accept – I'll kill your Minotaur.) | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Your Minotaur must die.'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Sounds like we have... another contender! It's time for the Trials of the Minotaur.. Pre-Trials.'' | |||
(If players choose ""Pre-Trials"?!") | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''... Did you just say Minotaur "Pre-Trials"?'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''To face the Minotaur, you must first prove yourself worthy by completing three heroic trials. We can't let people fresh off of the [[trireme]]s casually stroll to their deaths! Pephka policy.'' | |||
*(If players choose "What are these "Pre-Trials"?) | |||
**'''Kassandra:''' ''What do these Pre-Trials require me to do, exactly?'' | |||
**'''Leiandros:''' ''There's the Trial of Strength, where you fight the greatest warrior in all of Krete. The Trial of Accuracy, which only a keen eye can overcome! And the Trial of Endurance, where you must brave...The water!'' | |||
**'''Kassandra:''' ''One of your Trials is swimming?! That's—this is a scheme to fleece me.'' | |||
**'''Leiandros:''' ''[[Mercenary|misthios]], I—that's—how could you even think such a thing? You're a terrible person.'' | |||
(If players choose "What exactly is the Minotaur?") | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Tell me about your "Minotaur."'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Part man, part beast, all monster. His horns are as sharp as blades, and his blades are as sharp as... horns? Wait, no, I always mess that up—'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''A vivid portrait. You must have seen him personally.'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Many times. And I'll tell you this much—no one's ever returned from where he dwells.'' | |||
(If players choose "What is the "The Prize of Pephka"?") | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''What exactly is the "Prize of Pephka"?'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Why, it's limitless riches of course! Warriors defeated by the Minotaur no longer need their [[drachma]]e, so we collect their coins into a grand prize that only a champion who kills the beast may claim.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Your grand prize is drachmae looted from the dead?!'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Misthios, please believe me, many of those coins go straight to the Lato School for Children Whose Parents Were Tragically Killed By the Minotaur!'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''I see.'' | |||
(If players choose "What does the name "[[Melite]]" mean to you?") | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''How would you react if I said the name... "Melite"?'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Uh, Melite? Well, I—No. I've neard of them. It's a strange name, one I'd remember.'' | |||
(I'm ready.) | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''I'll do your Trials—'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Pre-Trials!'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''—I'll do your Pre-Trials, but then the Minotaur's head is mine.'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Fantastic! Don't forget to collect the Tokens of Success from the Trial Masters to prove your victories.'' | |||
A [[Kore|woman]] interrupted the conversation. | |||
*'''Kore:''' ''Ugh, another "champion," here to save us all from Pephka's long queues and overpriced Minotaur merchandise.'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Ah, may I introdeuce my wife, Kore! A rare beauty, and so—So loud, in front of my new friend.'' | |||
*'''Kore:''' ''Please, Leiandros—there are more important things than glory.'' | |||
<tabber> | |||
|-|Glory comes first.= | |||
|-|Family comes first.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Not everyone with a [[sword]] seeks glory. Family comes before all else.'' | |||
*'''Kore:''' ''Exactly, misthios. That's what I keep telling this cowardly slime in the shape of my husband.'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''..Hey!'' | |||
</tabber> | |||
*'''Kore:''' ''It's—it's our daughter.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Your daughter?'' | |||
*'''Kore:''' ''[[Amara]]. She ran off days ago.'' | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''I'm sure she's—she's just fine! Don't worry about Amara—not when there's a Minotaur to slay!<br />"GRR!" "Slash-slash!" Big fight! Lots of blood! Think of the fame, misthios! Think of winning the Prize of Pephka!'' | |||
Leiandros leaned forward, whispering to Kassandra. | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Please trust me, champion—nothing is what it seems in Pepha. Solving one problem may just solve all the others...'' | |||
Leiandros stepped backwards. | |||
*'''Leiandros:''' ''Go, my legendary friend! The Pre-Trials of the Minotaur await!'' | |||
Kassandra departed to complete the trials mentioned by Leiandros. In doing so, she collected all the three tokens to prove her success. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''That's all 3 Tokens. Better meet Leiandros at the [[Warrior's Rest]].'' | |||
==Outcome== | |||
Kassandra met Leiandros, agreeing to participate in the "trials" before facing the Minotaur. She obtained all three tokens as proof of her success. | |||
