The high-tier Cult members require the full development of the Eagle Bearer's capabilities — the build refined over twenty-three sessions, the combat mastery accumulated through everything that came before. Justice in this context is not abstract. It is the physical act of holding a blade against people who have protected themselves with the entire infrastructure of Greek civilization, who have never expected anyone to make them bleed for what they have done.

Willing to bleed is the Eagle Bearer's qualification. The justice she enacts is not clean — the fights are hard, the Cult members have capabilities, some of them were people she knew. The willingness to absorb the cost of the confrontation is what separates Kassandra from the mercenary who would walk away when the contract became too expensive.
