Dialogue

• Kassandra: The pirates are Poseidon's problem now.
• Megakles: What have you done? Didn't you hear me screaming? You sunk our reinforcements!

They looked like pirates.You never said you had reinforcements.They attacked me.

• Kassandra: They sure looked and fought like pirates.

• Kassandra: You didn't say anything about reinforcements. You said pirates.

• Kassandra: Those ships attacked me. I fought back. That's what I do.

• Megakles: I sent a message to the supply ships to disguise their sails. "Look like a pirate and sail in unseen." Those ships had supplies and troops.

Let me make this right.I'm guessing you're not a general.You should have said there were reinforcements.

• Kassandra: If I'd known they were reinforcements, I wouldn't have attacked. I need to set this right.
• Megakles: There's still time. If we can get these villagers ready for battle, they can fight off the pirates themselves.

• Kassandra: You're not an actual general, are you?
• Megakles: Not... a... Listen to me, misthios. I've fought in three wars. No training prepares you for this.
• Kassandra: You had no strategy.
• Megakles: These villagers are as good as slaughtered because of you. But if we can get them ready, they can fight off the pirates themselves.

• Kassandra: 'Now you tell me.
• Megakles: Didn't think I had to say, "Don't sink the fucking reinforcements!" Without those troops, we need to get these villagers ready for battle.

(Then let's get ready to fight.)

• Kassandra: I'll do it. I don't see an armory, though. Where's the smith?
• Megakles: He hasn't worked since the last Eagle Bearer was here.
• Kassandra: I'll get him making swords. Can the villagers ride?
• Megakles: For salt workers, they're not bad. And there's a horse breeder in town.
• Kassandra: I'll talk to them.
• Megakles: Though we can't just arm them and tell them to fight. There's only one man who can rally the people, claims to be a reborn Ajax the Lesser. Find him and get him back.

(If players choose, "Where can I find the smith?")

• Kassandra: So where's the blacksmith?
• Megakles: The forge caught fire. The smith's in the village, but you'll need to help him rebuild before he can work again.

(If players choose, "What about the horse breeder?")

• Kassandra: Tell me more about the horse breeder.
• Megakles: She knows horses better than Poseidon. Get her to put a mare under each of these villagers, and we'll have a chance.

(If players choose, "What about this Ajax?")

• Kassandra: If dead heroes are anything like me, they don't like being impersonated. Are you sure this Ajax guy is a good idea?
• Megakles: Let the dead judge us all they want. We need to shake the fear out of these villagers. The last time I saw Ajax, he was headed to the hills southwest of here, on the northern border of Phokis.

(If players choose, "What do you know about my imposter?")

• Kassandra: Tell me what you know about the one using my name.
• Megakles: He came in with a vicious little bird. Called it... Ikaros? Something like that. Anyway, said he'd help, then made things worse at every turn. So far, you two have a lot in common.

(Leave this to me.)

• Kassandra: The villagers will be warriors when I'm done.

After attempting to help all the citizens Megakles mentioned, Kassandra returns to him.

• Megakles: You're back just in time. How's Nikaia? I heard she's trained a stallion for me.

Nikaia's dead.She's great. - Lie

• Kassandra: Nikaia's dead. She thought your horse was Pegasos and rode it off a cliff.
• Megakles: She what? All right. We don't need horses to fight if we have weapons. How many has Kallipides made?

• Kassandra: Oh, Nikaia's great. There’s more horses than this village has people.
• Megakles: She’s as reliable as they come. And Kallipides? Has he armed the villagers?

Kallipides is dead, too.He's made so many weapons. - Lie

• Kassandra: Kallipides... had an accident.
• Megakles: What kind of accident?
• Kassandra: The really bad kind. He... didn't see some stone blocks. He walked right into them, and -
• Megakles: Enough. Without weapons, we're doomed.

• Kassandra: The villagers are all armed. Every single one. Nothing to worry about there.
• Megakles: Good! Spilling a little pirate blood on the salt might make it taste better.
• Kassandra: You never know. Now, as for Ajax.
• Megakles: Tell me he inspired the villagers to make a stand.

• Kassandra: We haven't even talked about Ajax yet.
• Megakles: Did you find him?

I found Ajax. And then he died.We inspired the villagers together. - Lie

• Kassandra: Ajax had this helmet that he thought would make him immortal...
• Megakles: And?
• Kassandra: It didn't.

• Kassandra: Ajax put on a real show. I’ve never seen anything like it.
• Megakles: Good! Very good. The villagers are a superstitious type.
• Kassandra: In this village, I can see why.
• Megakles: You did good. The villagers should be able to defend their homes thanks to you.
• Kassandra: They may still need a bit of help.
• Megakles: Agreed! We can leave them to defend the village while you and I stop any pirates that are storming the Salts. What do you think?

• Megakles: Malaka.
• Kassandra: Tell me about it.
• Megakles: I would ask literally anyone else, but what choice do I have? I need everyone with a blade fighting with me. You can at least fight, can't you?

(Let's go kill pirates.)

• Kassandra: Let's go.
• Megakles: Not a lot of people would have been honest with me the way you were. I respect that. I just hope there's still a chance that we can make this right.
• Kassandra: I will do everything I can to save these people.

Outcome

Kassandra tried helping out a horse breeder, blacksmith and local hero. Unfortunately, her efforts were futile and Kallipides, Nikaia and Ajax the Lesser died.
