Arms of Atonement

Arms of Atonement was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Kassandra met with Elpenor, who agreed to aid her locate the gauntlets which would allow her to cross a Tartaros Veil.
==Dialogue==
Kassandra met with Elpenor at the entrance to Kronos' Treasury.
*Elpenor: Kassandra! I'm glad you've come.
*Kassandra: Would you blame me if I didn't?
*Elpenor: I'll earn your trust in time, and we can begin that process now. This door will lead us to Kronos' Treasury, where the gauntlets you'll need are stored. I have the key here.
*Kassandra: If you want me to trust you, you have to start being honest with me. Why do you have the key?
*Elpenor: Hades... had me tidy the treasury for him once.
(Asked "How safe is it to steal from Kronos?")
*Kassandra: It isn't wise to steal from the titans.
*Elpenor: The Titans fell long ago. No harm in using their tools to put a stop to the Monger.
(Asked "What's going on between you and Hades?")
*Kassandra: So what, you're Hades' housekeeper now?
*Elpenor: I like to work for him only on occasion. That is all. Think of me as his... mentee.
*Kassandra: Hades doesn't strike me as the mentoring type.
*Elpenor: There's much about Hades that you don't understand.
(Leave – "Let's go.")
*Kassandra: I'll need those gauntlets if we want to catch the Monger.
*Elpenor: My thoughts exactly. I'll offer my assistance as your personal guide through the treasury.
*Kassandra: Let's just get this over with.
*Elpenor: Of course, misthios. Whatever you need.
Elpenor unlocked the treasury and led the way inside.
*Elpenor: Tread carefully. The prisoners of Tartaros have been known to attack this cave.
They entered a repository filled with scrolls and immediately encountered the escaped prisoners. They killed them and continued on until they found a barricaded path.
*Elpenor: It looks as though this path can be cleared from the other side.
They continued down the adjacent path into a room filled with lava and pillars only a skilled athlete could climb.
*Elpenor: If you wouldn't mind climbing across and letting me pass...
*Kassandra: I might consider it. Then again, i might not. I'll see how I feel when I get there.
Kassandra left Elpenor where he was and navigated the pillars and chains to reach the other side of the room.
*Elpenor: I do hope you're clearing the path for me.

|-|(Elpenor left behind)=
Kassandra left Elpenor behind and walked into the treasury. After a while a disappointed Elpenor entered behind her.
*Elpenor: There you are. You do realize how much time we could have saved if you had cleared the path. You left me to fend for myself.
*Kassandra: You seem to have made it here in one piece. Wherever here is.
|-|(Elpenor helped)=
Kassandra killed more escaped prisoners and navigated the twisting corridors of the repository. She eventually found herself on the other side of the barricaded path.
*Elpenor: Well done. Now, clear the path and I can join you.
Kassandra broke the wine jars blocking the shelf and shifted it out of the way.
*Elpenor: Perfect. Now, let's get to the treasury.
As they walked back through the halls, they spoke of Hades once again.
*Kassandra: So... How's working for the god of the dead?
*Elpenor: You really want to know?
*Kassandra: Try me.
*Elpenor: All the myths and stories don't come close to doing Hades justice. He's cunning. Inspiring. A true architect of life... And also of death. He's everything I aspire to be.
They eventually reached the treasury proper. Kassandra looked around in awe.
*Kassandra: What is this place?
</tabber>
*Elpenor: Kronos' Treasury. Kronos hid all his worldly possessions here, far away from the sons that had been prophesized to be his undoing.
*Kassandra: It was my favorite story as a child.
*Elpenor: All the myths, stories, and epics told throughout the generations were transpiring beneath us all along. And now we get to play among the gods, together.
*Kassandra: Let's find the gauntlets quickly.
*Elpenor: Over here.
Elpenor led her to a treasure pile and found the gauntlets after a minimal amount of effort. He held them out to her.

|-|Thank you.=
*Kassandra: These gauntlets will help me get past the Veil. Thanks for your help.
*Elpenor: My pleasure, of course.
|-|I'll take that.=
*Kassandra: I'll take those gauntlets. Unless you were thinking about keeping them for yourself?
*Elpenor: I... I wouldn't dream of it.
</tabber>
*Kassandra: All right. Let's get out of here.
*Elpenor: We make a great pair. Meet me at the Lost Temple of Nyx when you're ready to take on the Monger.
==Outcome==
Kassandra obtained the Gauntlets of the Fallen.
==Trivia==
*Whether players leave Elpenors behind or clear his path can change his dialogue a little in The Snake Sheds His Skin, but doesn't change the outcome.
