One Bad Spartan Spoils the Bunch was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
As suggested by Brasidas, Kassandra sought to appeal to King Archidamos by ending the traitorous operation of arming the enslaved helots.
Dialogue
Kassandra made her way southwest uphill from Mesoa village. Ikaros helped her find and scan the quarry from the crossroad.
- Kassandra: Found them!
Ikaros spotted Philoktetes, leader of the traitors.
- Kassandra: Found him!
She reached the entrance.
- Kassandra: This is the marble quarry Brasidas mentioned.
She infiltrated through an opening on the palisade along the entrance, then made her way through the bushes.
- Kassandra: The weapons have to be here somewhere.
She spied a weapon rack inside a dark-colored tent guarded by soldiers. Before she dispatched them, she reminded herself to be discreet.
- Kassandra: There's only one Spartan here that I need to kill. It'll be easier if I don't alert the others.
Nevertheless, she destroyed the weapon rack.
- Kassandra: One down, four to go.
Kassandra moved further inside, being careful not to get detected. She spotted another one behind a crane north of the quarry and dismantled it.
- Kassandra: That's two. Time to find the others.
She moved up a wooden ramp west, into a chamber with ladders and a hole above. She found a rack below a tower-like structure and broke it.
- Kassandra: Three weapon racks destroyed. Won't take much longer.
She moved back out and down to a longer chamber southeast of the quarry. Kassandra moved in and quickly destroyed the fourth weapon rack.
- Kassandra: Only one more to go.
Kassandra caught glimpse of the leader wearing heavy soldier armor and assassinated him. She used a nearby pulley to lift herself up to the final rack. She destroyed it and escaped the quarry.
Outcome
Kassandra assassinates the leader of the treasonous band of Spartans, and destroyed the weapon racks they would give to the helots.
Trivia
- This quest is missable. It is possible to go and meet the kings straightaway; doing this locks out One Bad Spartan Spoils the Bunch as well as Bully the Bullies quests, and grants instead The Legendary Hunt quest.
- The name of this quest is a reference to the proverb "one bad apple spoils the bunch".
