Takes Drachmae to Make Drachmae was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Kassandra met a street vendor who claimed he has a tablet to a secret treasure.

Dialogue

While near the Pilgrimage Site, Kassandra came across a street vendor.

• Street Vendor: Down on your luck? Have I got a solution for you!

Kassandra approached him.

• Kassandra: What's all this about?
• Street Vendor: It's about adventure! Thrills Danger!
  ...And untold fortunes!

I fear nothing.Life is an adventure.

• Kassandra: Danger... Ha. I never back down from a challenge.
• Street Vendor: Then step right up and put your drachmae where your mouth is... For this kind of opportunity doesn't come around every day.

• Kassandra: I love a good adventure.
• Street Vendor: If you've got the drachmae and the time, I've got a once-in-a-lifetime adventure just for you!

• Kassandra: Tell me more.
• Street Vendor: Secrecy is key, misthios. We can't just have anyone knowing there's a fortune to be found.
  But first! Everything has a price. Pay up, and I'll give you a tablet with everything you need to know.

(Accept – Take my drachmae. [1000])

• Kassandra: Here you go.
• Street Vendor: Excellent! Here you go. This tablet will lead you directly to untold riches.
• Kassandra: What? Just tell me where—
• Street Vendor: The tablet reveals all!
• Kassandra: What does that even mean?
• Street Vendor: Just look at tablet and follow the directions, misthios! My work here is done.

Kassandra investigated the tablet.

• Treasure Tablet:
  Off the east coast of Kythera, on Diakofti Island, your reward awaits.

Kassandra headed to the island east of Kythera, founding a chest near a tree. As she approached it, she found it to have been looted.

• Kassandra: Empty?! I'm going to snap that man's neck in two.

After a moment, Kassandra was attacked by four civilians, also looking for the treasure.

• Civilian 1: The misthios beat us to it!
• Civilian 2: The treasure is ours! Give it over!

Kassandra defeated them, and returned to the vendor.

• Kassandra: What's going on? The chest was empty!
• Street Vendor: inconceivable! Maybe you don't know how to read a tablet? I guarantee you there's something inside.
• Kassandra: How can you be so sure?
• Street Vendor: Because I'm the one who put it there! Uh... I mean... malaka!

The vendor began running away.

• Street Vendor: No! No! No!

Outcome

Kassandra paid the merchant drachmae for a map to a supposed treasure map, only to discover she had been tricked.

Trivia

• The name of this quest is a play on the saying: "It takes one to know one", meaning the person this was redirected too shares the trait he/she judged another person about.
• At the end of the memory, it is possible to hunt down the street vendor. Doing so will allow the players to receive 2000 drachmae and a mace from his body.
