Kairos Poll: Ghost Ship or Artifact Hunt?
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.

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
You'll see, but probably more than one character.
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.
There's also the fact that Cassandra will be a more powerful asset afterwards unlike Andromachne
A gift for the gods, that way he can upgrade his ship more before going after the ghost ship.
I like witches :)
I haven't started reading this story yet but definitely, always the ghost ship. Obviously. :P
Wouldn't it be too soon to break in that dungeon? Seems like both of these quests are on demigod tier.
Exploring the full dungeon will take multiple story arcs, but the first level/floor is can be conquered by [Heroes].
Dungeon seems like the one with higher potential later in the story when they are higher level.
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.
Cassandra's Quest certainly feels like it fits the current position of the story better.
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.
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
