Cassia

HeroTextAudio
CassiaI see you've become a fighter for law and order.
CassiaIt doesn't matter that you're in the service of Innos. You're one of us. And I hope that's the way you see it, too.
CassiaSo now you belong to the church of Innos. Fine, but you're still one of us - I hope you won't forget that.
CassiaYour deadline has passed. You shouldn't have come back.
CassiaI see you received our gift. I am Cassia.
MeAll right, Cassia, so tell me why I'm here.
CassiaYou caught our attention by winning the trust of some of our friends.
CassiaAnd we want to offer you a chance. You can join us.
CassiaJust look who found his way here. Attila underestimated you. I'm not going to make the same mistake.
MeWhat's being played here?
CassiaWe wanted you to die for blowing the whistle on a friend. That's why we sent Attila.
CassiaYour presence here, however, opens up a new option ...
Me... what do you want to offer me?
CassiaYou can join us.
MeTell me more about your organization.
CassiaPeople in town are pretty nervous about us. But nobody knows our hideout.
CassiaThe handful of people who even know that the sewers exist believe that they are locked and not accessible to anyone.
CassiaAnd as long as they don't find us, we can work in peace.
MeWhat do you know about the missing people?
CassiaWhy would that interest you?
MeI want to find out what happened to them.
CassiaWhen you emerge from the sewers, swim down along the coast to the right for a while.
CassiaYou're bound to find your answers there ...
MeWhat's in it for me if I join you?
CassiaYou can learn special abilities from us - abilities that will allow you to live in luxury.
MeBut I wouldn't have to hide out down here, would I?
Cassia(laughs quietly) No. You only have to stick to our rules. That's all.
MeWhat can I learn from you?
CassiaJesper is the master of stealth. He will show you how to move without making a sound.
CassiaRamirez is an exceptionally gifted burglar. No lock can withstand his picks.
CassiaAnd I can teach you how to be a pickpocket.
CassiaI'm also going to help you become more dexterous. For dexterity is the key to your abilities.
MeWhat are your rules?
CassiaThe first rule is: You don't breathe a word about us. To anyone. Ever.
CassiaSecond: Don't get caught.
CassiaThird: If you draw your weapon down here to attack someone, we'll kill you.
CassiaAnd the fourth, and last rule is: those who want to join us have to prove themselves.
MeWhat happens if I get caught?
CassiaJust don't get caught, OK?
MeHow am I supposed to prove myself?
CassiaNow will you join us or not?
CassiaThat stubborn old alchemist - Constantino - has a beautiful ring.
CassiaBut he doesn't really need it. I want to see it adorn my hand.
MeOK, I'm in.
CassiaGreat. You'll be given an opportunity to prove yourself. And if you want to learn from us, you're welcome.
MeAnd what if I don't want to join you ... ?
CassiaYou're missing a one-time chance, but you can go.
Cassia(serious) And don't even think about betraying us. You would bitterly regret that.
CassiaIn that case, I shall kill you.
MeOK, I'm in.
Cassia(smiles) You've made a wise decision. If you succeed in proving yourself, you may join our ranks.
CassiaIf you would like to learn the thieves' abilities first, feel free - you're going to need them.
MeTry to kill me, then.
CassiaToo bad. I thought you were smarter than that.
MeI need to think about this.
CassiaDo that. I'll give you two days to come to a decision. After that, you will no longer be welcome here.
MeCan you teach me?
CassiaSure, no problem. Just let me know when you're ready.
CassiaSure. Pickpocketing and dexterity will cost you 100 gold pieces each.
MeI want to become more dexterous. Here's the gold.
CassiaWe can start whenever you're ready.
CassiaCome back when you've got the gold.
MeI want to learn about picking pockets. Here's the gold.
CassiaWe can start whenever you're ready.
CassiaCome back when you've got the gold.
MeI want to become more dexterous.
MeShow me how to pick pockets.
CassiaIf you want to empty somebody's pockets, distract him. Just start talking to him, have a chat.
CassiaWhile you're talking to him, size him up. Look out for bulging pockets, jewelry, or leather straps around the neck. And, most of all, note how keen the fellow seems.
CassiaRobbing a drunk day-laborer is not the same as stealing from a watchful merchant, mind you.
CassiaIf you're too clumsy, of course, he'll smell a rat. So, above all: keep your cool.
MeI've got Constantino's ring.
CassiaCongratulations. You passed your initiation test. Now you're truly one of us.
CassiaTake this key. It opens the door to the hotel. (smiles) Then you won't have to swim every time.
CassiaFurthermore, you should know that we have a secret sign. A particular nod.
CassiaExactly. When you talk to the right people and make this sign, they'll know you are one of us.
MeSo where are you hiding your loot?
CassiaCome on, you didn't really think I would tell you that?
CassiaYou'll have enough opportunity to get your hands on some loot of your own. Remember - those who are too greedy end up with nothing.
MeHave you got a job for me?
CassiaNot as long as you're wanted in town as a thief.
CassiaClear that up - pay your penalty or get rid of the witnesses, I don't care, just as long as you clear it up.
CassiaYes. There is a matching set of chalices. Six of them.
CassiaKing Rhobar once captured them during a campaign - but he sacrificed many men so he could get them. That's why they're called the Blood Chalices.
CassiaEach of the chalices by itself is not all that valuable - but the six of them all together are worth a tidy sum.
MeWhere are these chalices?
CassiaThey're here, in town - they belong to the rich merchants in the upper quarter.
CassiaBring them to me. In the meantime, I'll try to find a buyer for them.
MeWhat's in it for me?
CassiaEither half of the profit, or you get to pick a special item from my booty.
MeAbout the Blood Chalices ...
MeI've got all six chalices now.
CassiaGood work. I've found a buyer in the meantime.
CassiaYou can have your reward now. Thanks for doing that for me.
CassiaThere's nothing else I have to do for you - but you can learn from me at any time. Moreover, there's enough on this island just waiting for a taker. (smiles)
CassiaI can only sell these chalices as a set. Bring me all six.
MeI've come to pick up my reward.
CassiaWhat's your choice?
MeGive me the gold.
MeGive me the potions.
MeGive me the ring.
