Dialogue
With Elpenor successfully assassinated, Kassandra made her way back to Herodotos.
- Kassandra: So this is the "secret" chamber... They're not ones for subtlety, are they?
Herodotos awaited her outside the chamber, and together they walked to the entrance.
- Kassandra: So, this is it.
- Herodotos: Hidden chamber of the Cultists. Here, all along.
- Kassandra: I'm going inside. Keep my clothes for me?
- Herodotos: Best not to go in with your weapon either. I don't think they'll look too kindly on that.
Kassandra changed into the Cultists cloak and mask she retrieved from Elepnor's hideout.
- Kassandra: How do I look?
- Herodotos: Terrifying.
- Kassandra: Good.
- Herodotos: Find me once you've found out the truth in there. Keep your wits about you. Try not to do anything rash.
- Kassandra: Me? Rash?
Kassandra pushed open the doors, leaving Herodotos behind to descend into the lair.
- Kassandra: Who thought these ridiculous costumes were a good idea?
Once within the inner area, she was approached by another disguised Cultist.
- Cultist: You're late, very late! It's a good thing Deimos hasn't arrived yet.
- Kassandra: Sorry. It's my, er - first time.
- Cultist: A new recruit? Welcome, welcome.
(If players choose "Who are these people?")
- Kassandra: There's a lot of people here.
- Cultist: All share our common mind.
- Kassandra: Good.
- Cultist: We're here to evaluate the strides taken by the Cult since the last meeting. We haven't met for some, some time.
- Kassandra: Where did they come from?
- Cultist: The land across the seas. We assemble as a community. Here, there is no war - there are no sides.
(If players choose "Who is Deimos?")
- Kassandra: You mentioned someone. Deimos. Who is that?
- Cultist: You'll learn his name very, very quickly.
- Kassandra: He's our leader.
- Cultist: I'm sure he believes that, but no, he's our weapon. He's... difficult, but he does important work for us. I don't envy his position one bit.
- Kassandra: I'll go talk to the others. Thank you.
- Cultist: Yes, yes, before Deimos comes. Who knows if you'll get a word in after that.
Kassandra moved away to talk to other Cultists. One of them ran a knife blade across the palm of his hand, allowing the blood to drip on the altar in the center of the room.
- Cultist: It's only blood right now, but who knows. Deimos may ask for our hands next. Go on, go on, make your offering.
(If players choose "I will make the offering.")
Kassandra took the blade and cut herself in the same manner.
- Cultist: We just have to keep our sights on what the bloodline will do for us.
- Kassandra: The bloodline?
- Cultist: The mother, the father, the sister - you know, his kin. We need them. All of them.
- Kassandra: ...To use them.
- Cultist: That information is not for Deimos, of course. You know how volatile he is. He could rip through is easily.
- Kassandra: I'll be sure to keep it to myself.
- Cultist: As you should. Nor can he know we're about to capture his mother.
