Too Much of a Good Thing was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Pentheus' mind was at peace, but he still suffered in life. Hippokrates knew of a way to ease his pain, but too much could be fatal.
As Pentheus laid back down to rest, Hippokrates called Kassandra over to him for her assistance.
As Kassandra faced him, she briefly glanced back at Pentheus.
They paused on the depressing situation.
(Accept – I'll get the hemlock.)
Hippokrates' expression changed to one of self-aggrandizement.
(If players asked "Where is the hemlock?")
(If players asked "Why hemlock?")
(Leave – "I'll go now.")
Kassandra left and rode south outside the city. When she arrived at the bridge over the riverbank north of the Ruins of Plataia, Ikaros helped her identify several herbs of note.
A pack of wolves set upon her, but she dealt with them and returned to examine the herbs.
Kassandra picked a bunch of the hemlock and returned to Hippokrates.
Kassandra moved towards the table at the corner.
She talked to herself while finishing the mixture.
A while later, after Hippokrates gave Pentheus the potion Kassandra finished, Kassandra joined Hippokrates as he observed Pentheus.
Kassandra nodded in agreement.
Kassandra struck a chord on Hippokrates and he paused for a moment.
They both briefly looked down on the dead Pentheus.
Regardless, the two parted on good terms.
Hippokrates smiled and nodded before she left.
Kassandra helped Hippokrates make a sedative by harvesting Hemlock. Knowing how it can also be poisonous, she made a choice of whether to discreetly euthanize the terminally ill Pentheus, or let Hippokrates study his illness further.
