To Help a Girl

To Help a Girl was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Kassandra approached Damalis, one of Anthousa's followers.
==Dialogue==
After talking with Anthousa, Kassandra located Damalis outside at the Spring of Peirene.
*Damalis: So you're here to help us, misthios? You don't look like a Monger spy.
*Kassandra: I'm more the in-your-face type. You have a Monger problem, Damalis?
*Damalis: I might. One of my regulars has... changed. He was a decent man once, but now, he's gone bad.
*Kassandra: Korinth seems to have a shortage of "decent" people.
*Damalis: I need someone with muscle to figure out what's behind the change. Why he's different.
<tabber>
|-|What is the man doing wrong?=
*Kassandra: He's gotten you scared.
*Damalis: He asks me questions I don't know the answers to about our drachmae. Where we keep money, what Anthousa invests in. As though we're Athenian aristocrats.
*Kassandra: Can't Anthousa intervene?
*Damalis: I'm not naive! I won't expose others to this. So he can go after them next?
*Kassandra: He might anyway. Sounds like he needs answers.
|-|What was he like before?=
*Kassandra: Who was he before all this?
*Damalis: Obsessive, but never threatening. He didn't stand out in symposiums, until he had his drachmae act for him.
*Kassandra: Well, something's sure giving him courage now.
|-|I'll go talk to him.=
*Kassandra: I'll see what he has to say for himself.
*Damalis: If he's not lurking around here, he'll be at his house. I want this to end today.
*Kassandra: It will. People tend to show their true selves to my spear whether they like it or not.
</tabber>
Kassandra left the Spring in search of the client's house. Outside of the house, she heard a familiar voice calling to her.
*Phoibe: Kassandra! It's me! Kassandra!
Kassandra approached Phoibe.
*Phoibe: Good, you found me!
*Kassandra: Shh! What are you doing here?
*Phoibe: I heard Damalis talking about her crazy client earlier and I wanted to help!
<tabber>
|-|You better behave.=
*Kassandra: Fine. But you have to do as I say. No games!
*Phoibe: I know that already—because you never let me have any fun!
|-|Good idea, Phoibe.=
*Kassandra: You may be right. I could use you.
*Phoibe: See? That was my plan all along!
</tabber>
*Kassandra: I'm going to talk to Damalis' client and see what he has to say.
*Phoibe: I've been here. Spying. And I heard him mumbling to himself! He's weird. But maybe if I tell you what he said, it could help?
<tabber>
|-|Tell me what he said.=
*Kassandra: Let's hear it.
*Phoibe: Let me think... He said something about having to meet someone at Pig Farm tonight. That could help!
*Kassandra: It could. Did he mention why?
*Phoibe: To get something from them. A deed to some land, I think he said.
*Kassandra: Well, that's something. What else?
*Phoibe: Oh, he said their name! Deinomenes. Wonder who that is?
*Kassandra: Good to know. Thank you, Phoibe the spy.
*Phoibe: Not bad, huh?
|-|No, let's get to work=
*Kassandra: .
</tabber>
*Kassandra: Time to act. Listen closely. You sneak inside and see what you can find in his house while I distract him.
*Phoibe: Quiet like a mouse!
*Kassandra: Good. But if you get caught, run. Right out the door. We'll meet afterwards. Promise?
*Phoibe: I'm ready. Let's go!
While Phoibe snuck around the rear of the house, Kassandra entered the home and confronted the client.
*Client: Do I know you?
*Kassandra: No. But I know you.
*Client: If Myron sent you, tell him I was going to pay him back this very night!
*Kassandra: No one sent me. We need to talk. I know you're up to something—
*Client: Something? Something could be anything! You have nothing on me.
<tabber>
|-|You have a meeting at Phaia's goat farm.=
*Kassandra: You're meeting someone tonight, aren't you? At Phaia's goat farm.
*Client: A goat farm? You'll find no goats at Phaia's.
*Kassandra: Oh, I...
The man noticed Phoebe sneaking through his house.
*Client: Wait! Thief! Thieves! Get out! Guards! Get them!
Kassandra was forced to kill the client and the guards before meeting back up with Phoibe.
*Phoibe: What was all that noise?!
*Kassandra: Damalis doesn't have to worry about her client now.
*Phoibe: That wasn't what she wanted you to do!
*Kassandra: I dealt with him, didn't I?
*Phoibe: Well... At least I could sneak in OK. Look!
|-|You have a meeting at Phaia's cow farm.=
*Kassandra: You're meeting someone tonight, aren't you? At Phaia's cow farm.
*Client: A cow farm? You'll find no cows at Phaia's.
*Kassandra: Oh, I...
The man noticed Phoebe sneaking through his house.
*Client: Wait! Thief! Thieves! Get out! Guards! Get them!
Kassandra was forced to kill the client and the guards before meeting back up with Phoibe.
*Phoibe: What was all that noise?!
*Kassandra: Damalis doesn't have to worry about her client now.
*Phoibe: That wasn't what she wanted you to do!
*Kassandra: I dealt with him, didn't I?
*Phoibe: Well... At least I could sneak in OK. Look!
|-|You have a meeting at Phaia's pig farm.=
*Kassandra: You're going to Phaia's Pig Farm. And meeting some like-minded person there, I hear.
*Client: Where did you hear that? You're wrong. Dead wrong.
</tabber>
Outside, Kassandra found Phoibe near a table with her loot.
*Kassandra: Let's see what we found.
*Phoibe: I wonder what this means?
<tabber>
|-|What about the coin purse?=
*Kassandra: What's this, a coin purse?
*Phoibe: His things aren't very nice, though. If he's rich, why have all that junk?
*Kassandra: He must have just gotten paid.
|-|What about the iron poker?=
*Kassandra: I've seen that iron poker used before.
*Phoibe: He didn't have a furnace! Why does he have this?
*Kassandra: It's not used for fire... It's a weapon. For torture. I saw someone use it in Phokis. Someone huge.
*Phoibe: Huge like the Monger?
*Kassandra: Just like the Monger.
|-|Let's see the letter.=
</tabber>
Phoibe showed Kassandra a letter.
*Kassandra: What does the letter say?
*Phoibe: It's mean! It says he'll get hurt if he keeps doing things wrong.
*Kassandra: I thought as much.
*Phoibe: And it says more... That he needs to bring Damalis to a place here in Korinth. There's directions. What do you think it is?
*Kassandra: Don't know... But I'll find out.
*Phoibe: Right behind you!
*Kassandra: Not this time. Go to Damalis and wait for me there.
*Phoibe: Aw, please?
*Kassandra: You've done enough for today, It could be dangerous. I'll come find you after.
(If the players chose everything 'right' before.)
*Phoibe: Fine. I almost forgot. I got this sword for you from his house.
*Kassandra: Wow. You're a good thief.
(Kassandra received a randomly generated sword.)
As Phoibe left, Kassandra pondered while leaving to look for the place mentioned in the letter.
*Kassandra: A place to bring Damalis. A prison? I should find out.
A short walk later, she found the location.
*Kassandra: This must be the place described in the letter. Anybody home?
She investigated the area, coming across a large pot, covering a patch of blood-drenched ground.
*Kassandra: It's blood. Lots of it.
Making her way inside the house, she discovered a collection of casts, mostly of breasts, on the wall.
*Kassandra: Maláka. What is this?
The nearby desk had another clue.
*Kassandra: A lock of hair. Smells familiar, somehow.
There were also other curiosities in the place.
*Kassandra: Chains? Oil? This can't be what I think it is.
A man entered the building, dragging and tossing Phoibe inside.
*The Stalker: Gotcha! All right you little shit, who sent you?
Phoibe scurried behind Kassandra.
*Kassandra: What are you doing here?
*Phoibe: I wanted to help?
*The Stalker: Give her here.
*Kassandra: Leave, Phoibe. Now!
The man moved to go after Phoibe as she ran past him.
*Kassandra: Don't take another step.
*The Stalker: You're brave coming here. You want a whipping? The Monger would love to take you on.
*Kassandra: He'd rot in the underworld for that.
*The Stalker: Prude. This is Korinthia! Anything goes in this sex andron. And the Monger will be satiated.
*Kassandra: You're as sick as he is, worm.
*The Stalker: Whether they like it or not, any victim he likes gets his special treatment. I'll tell him you volunteer.
*Kassandra: You'll get my special treatment right now. I'll fucking kill you.
Kassandra did as she threatened, then returned to Damalis and Phoibe near a statue of Aphrodite.
*Damalis: Kassandra. Your little friend beat you back.
*Kassandra: You made it.
*Phoibe: And fast. I know all the shortcuts now. I'm sorry, Kassandra.
<tabber>
|-|I forgive you, Phoibe.=
*Kassandra: It's all right. You had good intentions.
*Phoibe: I thought I could sneak in... Like before.
*Kassandra: I'm glad you didn't. Especially with what I found there.
|-|Don't do it again.=
*Kassandra: Listen next time I tell you to do something.
*Phoibe: OK.
*Kassandra: I promise it's for your own good. This time, especially.
</tabber>
*Damalis: What happened to you?
*Kassandra: I just left the Monger's sex andron, if you can believe it. And it's where you were headed.
*Damalis: No.
*Kassandra: It's true. Your client was being forced to take you there. And we found these.
Kassandra handed Damalis the letters, and she read them.
*Damalis: What does this mean?
*Kassandra: It means the Monger got to him. He does have his hand in everything.
*Damalis: At least I know how to deal with him now that I know what he's after.
<tabber>
|-|If the Client lives=
*Kassandra: He'll leave you alone now. He gave me his word.
*Damalis: So we really can trust you, can't we?
*Kassandra: We're not all so easily blackmailed.
|-|If the Client died=
*Kassandra: You won't have to. I took care of him myself.
*Phoibe: I told Kassandra she shouldn't have!
*Damalis: It had to come to this. Maláka, what a fool he was.
*Kassandra: The Monger's the real fool. He'll find that out soon enough.
</tabber>
==Outcome==
Kassandra helped Damalis figure out her client, and learned of the Monger's activities in Korinth at the same time with Phoibe's help.
==Trivia==
*The extend of Phoibe's loot is comparative to the time she spent within the house. The letter is the only thing required. The randomly generated sword is a reward for choosing correctly each time.
