Odyssey Ismarus

ISMARUS

Yes; you just follow the coastline of the Aegean towards Thrace, keeping land always in sight to starboard. You see the rich lands of the Cicones and the city of Ismarus on your right.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

Sack it, kill the men, take the women and sail away fast?
Take on board food, giving gifts from Troy in exchange?
Sail on past: you want to get home to Penelope.
Anchor offshore and send a small party to explore?
Sack it and plunder it, then have a huge party on the beach?
