Since I intend for this month's Perfect Run Past Fragment to be the long-promised Bloodstream's Last Stand interlude and Kairos has been picked for an indie publishing deal (more information coming soon), I thought this month's poll could focus on the latter. 

The poll covers the choice between two Quests, namely Andromache's and Cassandra's. Both arcs will be covered in the story, but the choice is which one you want to see first (as in, this month). 

1) The Hunt for the Argo

Led by the vengeful shade of Jason, the Argo has haunted the sea for generations. When the ghost ship is sighted near the witch-island of Achlys, Cassandra sees the opportunity to complete her long-delayed Quest. But will the Foresight's crew be a match for the undead Argonauts? 

Features Cassandra, naval battles, a ghost ship, witches and amazons. 

2) A Gift for Gods

Only the new god of magic Orgonos may lift Circe's curse and make Andromache a nymph once more. However, the ancient Cyclops will only grant audience to those bringing gifts. Kairos and Andromache must find a way to break into the Necromanteion dungeon, and find a bribe worthy of a god.

Features Andromache, magical archaeology, artifacts, cyclops and giants.

That was an easy one again. First of all everyone heard about the Argonauts so there's some interesting connection already. Second, with andro there's no friction at the moment and with Cass there is implicitly. So yeah easy choice

No first they must level up a little bit and dungeon diving will be good for them. Then with new found loot and weapons they will be ready for Argo.

Cassandra's Quest certainly feels like it fits the current position of the story better.

Frotzy

Dungeon seems like the one with higher potential later in the story when they are higher level.

Young Youghurt

Wouldn't it be too soon to break in that dungeon? Seems like both of these quests are on demigod tier.

Void Herald

Exploring the full dungeon will take multiple story arcs, but the first level/floor is can be conquered by [Heroes].

Nate

I haven't started reading this story yet but definitely, always the ghost ship. Obviously. :P

Young Youghurt

Am I imagining it or are there some Hades vibes? Or maybe even Tyrrany?

Void Herald

Haven't played Hades, but the Necromanteion was hugely inspired by superdungeons like Vigil's Keep in Baldur's Gate II ;)

Aadarm

A gift for the gods, that way he can upgrade his ship more before going after the ghost ship.

MaliMi

But while the Foresight's crew be a match for the undead Argonauts? while -> will Corrections aside, Cassandra's quest seems more sensible. It sounds more dangerous than Andromachne's, however it IS just hero rank, while the other is demigod rank. Perhaps they might even find something on that ship to help them complete Andromachne's quest too.

Snadow

There's also the fact that Cassandra will be a more powerful asset afterwards unlike Andromachne

Void Herald

Corrected, thanks. Andromache's Quest is [Hero] rank as well though ;)

It's ok if you don't want to answer but I have to ask if bloodstreams last stand will be from Ryan's POV Leo Matty Len or Freddie

Void Herald

You'll see, but probably more than one character.

Well, they dont have to do a complete exploring. Just some scouting so they can have a clue what they will be entering into. Also the crew is in a severe need of weapons. Apart from the ship, spear, andromache and satyr's archery they are severley lacking in firepower. We are talking about THE Argo. if Jason and his ghostly Argonauts turn out like anything from the myth then our main characters need good weapons.
