Character Discussion

Is what I said in my character thread sufficient to answer though? I can give a little more if you'd like.

Yeah Iantha's suddenly got a lot more introspective when planned. She's not sure she'll be welcome home, even with her letting Helen go. So sheike just wants to find some sort of purpose or justificatication even if as simple as a monster to hunt for glory, her and her groups orginal goal when younger.

She's likely going to be praying to Artermis, hoping for a hunt, monster or something to distract her/regain glory in a more clear cut way.

But yeah she'll be a little lost in what to do so easily dragged along by others.

Nikias is good. We'll try to get him home to his adorable family and sheep

I'm reminded of Maximus' homecoming scene from Gladiator.

Which is, I believe, based on the same historical figure I got my idea from: Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. The guy was a roman consul and farmer when he was given powers as a dictator due to threat from barbarian invasions. He put down the barbarian threat, allegedly pretty quick, then opted to give up his power and returned to farming. It encapsulates a romantic ideal of an ideal leader - the person who does not thirst for power and sets it aside when they have completed what they set out to do. It always stuck with me.

Hopefully Nikias' homecoming is Happier than Maximus'

Hah! I hope so, though I suspect it may take quite some time for him to get home.

Well barring his wife and children being crucified there's a lot of leeway there
