The Dinner was a virtual representation of an Alamut Hidden One apprentice's genetic memories relived through an Animus.[1]

Description[edit | edit source]

A Hidden One is tasked with helping a woman planning a dinner at Ithlib Mountain.

Knowledge needed[edit | edit source]

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

The Meal[edit | edit source]

Inaya begins by asking which meal you think would be most appropriate for her to serve to her guests.

You suggest that a dish of dates and roasted lamb would be perfect for the dinner.

This is the ideal choice; the ingredients for this dish are local and readily available. She smiles at your idea and immediately sets out to gather the ingredients she will need.

You suggest that you think a light dinner of fish and salad would be nice.

Although it would be possible to get hold of fish in AlUla, it would be very expensive as it needs to be transported to AlUla. She looks concerned and thanks you for the suggestion. Local ingredients, such as dates and roasted lamb, would have been a better choice.

You suggest that a tomato-based dish would be good to serve at the dinner.

As you explain your idea, she looks at you in confusion. She has never seen a tomato, and they are not grown anywhere near the region. Local ingredients, such as dates and roasted lamb, would have been a better choice.

Egg[edit | edit source]

She tells you that she is also going to prepare an ostrich egg for the dinner, but she wants to know from you a way of putting the large shells to use later on.

You suggest that she could fashion the shells into containers for storage and transporting items.

She nods in agreement smiling at the idea. The eggshells are thick and hard; they will make an excellent vessel. This is a perfectly suited suggestion.

You suggest that as the shells are hard, they could be turned into a ball for children to play with.

She agrees that the shells are tough enough, but they are not round and would make a bad ball. She explains that it would be more sensible to make containers out of them.

You suggest that it might be possible to make some clothing from them.

She frowns and tells you that the shells are extremely thick and hard. They would be completely unsuitable for any clothing. She explains that it would be more sensible to make containers out of them.

Entertainment[edit | edit source]

Inaya wants to make the evening fun for the guests and wants to have some music with dinner. She asks what you think she should tell the musicians to play.

You suggest letting them play whatever melodies they feel fit best, based on a specific idea or emotion.

You know that musicians prefer to play improvised melodies based on a theme rather than following a set score - this is the best approach to suggest.

You recommend letting them play some music based on a specific set of modes so that she has control of the structure.

She says that it is possible but may upset the musicians, as they normally like to improvise. It would have been better to advise letting the musicians improvise based on ideas or emotions.

To ensure that they play something suitable for the dinner, she should provide them with a specific piece of music.

Music in the region is not fixed or written down; whilst she thanks you for your suggestion, she will stick to the traditional way of improvising based on a theme.

Outcome[edit | edit source]

You have provided exceptional help and advice. Inaya passes on the fragment of an ancient Nabataean inscription and says that you are welcome to come back any time.

Despite the occasional confusion, your help and advice are appreciated. Inaya passes on the fragment of an ancient Nabataean inscription.

Inaya appreciates your efforts to help, but your suggestions have made it more difficult for her. She still passes on the fragment of an ancient Nabataean inscription and is glad to see you leave.

Outcome[edit | edit source]

The Hidden One received a fragment of an ancient Nabataean inscription as a reward for their help.

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

Choices within each step were reordered based on the score given in the application's source code, from best possible choice (score of 3) to worst possible choice (score of 1). Considering the hint included in each step points towards the best answer, it is assumed that is the canon choice.
