Dialogue
The mercenaries, hot on the trail of the kidnapped Natakas, approached a cave.
- Mercenary 2: Lots of tracks leading into this cave.
- Mercenary 1: The Order must be using this as a hideout.
- Mercenary 3: If they're in there, Darius is too.
- Mercenary 2: Let's get to work.
The mercenaries entered the cave and killed the Spartans allied with Persia.
Further in, they discovered a gathering of Order Cultists with a captive Natakas.
- Order Cultist: Halt. No closer, or this one DIES.
- Mercenary 1: Natakas?
- Natakas: Ye... How do you...
- Order Cultist: Silence!
- Mercenary 1: We're here with your father.
- Order Cultist: Darius? Where is he?!
- Mercenary 1: Right behind you.
- Order Cultist: What?
A fight broke out with the mercenaries killing an Order Cultist and a Spartan Ekdromos.
Darius snuck around and flanked the Cultists, backstabbing the one who held his son.
- Darius: You are a goat chasing a lion. You will never touch my family again.
- Order Cultist: You'll never be free of us Artabanus! You and yours will die and The Tainted Ones will be scoured from this earth. We have called The Huntsman.
- Darius: The Huntsman... Pactyas...
- Order Cultist: Hah. You have no idea the beat you've awakened. I die happily, knowing you will soon reside in the House of Lies.
The Cultist succumbed to his wounded while the others fled. Darius freed his son.
- Natakas: It is good to see you father. I might be dead now, if not for these strangers. Thank you!
- Darius: Hm. They provided a useful distraction.
- Mercenary 1: Why in Hades do these people want you dead so badly?
- Natakas: My father has caused them a great deal of... trouble.
- Mercenary 1: Heh. Hopefully it's the last we see of them. What shall you do now?
- Darius: We must remain on the move. I know this Huntsman their leader spoke of. A dangerous foe.
- Mercenary 1: Well, we make for Amphipolis to join the crew of the Eagle-Bearer. Riches and adventure old man! You two should join us.
- Darius: I would not drag anyone else into this feud...
Darius and Natakas made to depart.
- Natakas: Wait... Eagle-Bearer? Who is this Eagle-Bearer?
- Mercenary 1: Ha! I suppose you have been living in caves! A great warrior! Fearless! Let me tell you about the Eagle-Bearer...
- Darius: ...
Outcome
The mercenaries helped Darius save Natakas, as they left the mercenaries told the tales of the famed Eagle-Bearer.
