Thug:Keep the fuck out of this. the captain's gonna get what's comin' to him!
(If players choose "What's going on?")
Kassandra:What has this man done?
Thug:What hasn't he done?
Kassandra:Did he offend you - poor, delicate pirates?
Thug:Should never have agreed to work with this malákas. We finally get a job from Xenia, and he sails us into the fucking ground.
(If players choose "Why are you here?")
Kassandra:How did you end up on this island?
Gotarzes:I can explain. I am the captain...
Thug:Oh, we've heard enough from you, captain.
Kassandra:I'll hear it from the captain himself.
Gotarzes:As I was saying... We got into a great sea battle - which we won, thanks to me - and the victory was so sweet! I didn't notice how close to the rocks we were. A minor accident. Now, if you could just get us back to Keos?
(If players choose "This man's your captain.")
Kassandra:This man is your captain.
Thug:You can only be captain if you got a ship, and he ain't got one no more.
Gotarzes:I can make it worth your while if you get me back to Keos.
Thug:Stand aside.
Kassandra:Get out of my way. I'm taking Captain Gotarzes back to Keos.
Thug:You'll be sorry you stuck your nose in where it don't belong. He's fucked us over too many times. No, the Captain won't leave here alive.
Kassandra:Get behind me and stay close.
The mutineers attacked both of them.
Gotarzes:By the gods, help me!
Kassandra slew them all and spoke to Gotarzes.
Kassandra:It's your crew. Answer to them.
Gotarzes:Please no, you must protect me!
Thug:Make your peace with Poseidon, Captain.
The mutineers attacked Gotarzes.
Gotarzes:By the gods, help me!
Gotarzes, outnumbered, gets killed and the quest fails.
(Gotarzes lived and the mutineers lay dead. She spoke to him.)
Gotarzes:Some fight, eh? Thank you, stranger. Now if you can just get me to Keos, there's a reward in it for you.
Kassandra:There better be. You've seen what happens to people I disagree with.
Kassandra:Let's get to my ship and get you home, then.
Before they could do anything to Gotarzes, Kassandra ambushed the mutineers, killing them all. She spoke to Gotarzes.
Gotarzes:Thank you. Knowingly or not, you've just saved my life.
Kassandra:And was it worth saving?
Gotarzes:Get me back to Keos, and I'll pay you handsomely.
Kassandra:We'd better get you to my ship then.
Gotarzes was then given passage aboard the Adrestia.
Gotarzes:Ah! What a relief it will be to go back to Keos. Sure, Xenia will be angry that I don't have the miltos... But I can deal with that.
Kassandra:Why's the miltos so important?
Gotarzes:What kind of pirate are you? It's nearly as valuable as gold!
(If the Adrestia encounters and is engaged by a pirate ship.)
Barnabas: We've got company. Friend of yours?
Kassandra: You go to one symposium, and everyone wants to know you!
Gotarzes: I should never have gone back out to sea.
The ship eventually docked in Koressia's harbor once more. Xenia was relieved to see Gotarzes.
Xenia:Gotarzes!
Kassandra:That's... not what I expected.
Xenia:Gotarzes! I thought I'd lost you this time. Where's your ship?
Kassandra:He sailed too close to the shore. The ship got caught on the rocks.
Gotarzes:We were in the middle of a raging battle!
Kassandra:The rocks around the isle were treacherous.
Xenia:Oh, I'm well aware of his nautical prowess. A goat could sail those waters.
Xenia:Maláka. What's important is that you're alive, brother.
Kassandra:He's your brother?
Xenia:It would be easier if he wasn't.
Xenia:What happened to the crew?
Gotarzes:Those dogs turned on me. If it wasn't for this misthios -
Kassandra:He would be dead.
Xenia:Then you will be rewarded, misthios.
Kassandra:Family is family. No reward necessary.
Xenia:No. I am in your debt.
Xenia:Your armor Gotarzes. Give it to her.
Gotarzes:But this was father's. It's mine by birthright.
Xenia:Now.
Kassandra:His armor -
Xenia:Belongs to someone worthy of it.
Kassandra:Gotarzes promised a reward. A substantial one, if I remember it right.
Xenia:Pay her, then.
Gotarzes:Me? But you're the one who -
Gotarzes:Fine...
Xenia:Come with me, stupid brother.
Xenia:Thank you, Kassandra. Family is family, and for his life I thank you.
Outcome
Gotarzes was rescued from his self-marooning and returned to Xenia.
Trivia
If the player refuses to help Gotarzes, he may still survive the fight for the continuation of the quest. However, if he dies, the mission will instantly fail.
The drachmae reward for the quest is the same, regardless of the player's final choice. The Captain's Chest chest piece, however, is Epic-grade when refusing a reward and Rare-grade when accepting one. The Epic-grade version appears to increase health in addition to both pieces' increasing of warrior damage and total armor.
