Ali Ibn Muhammad, the leader of the rebellion and ally to the Hidden Ones, has been captured and brought to the most heavily guarded prison in Baghdad. Breaching it would be no easy feat, but I had to do it anyway.
I had to meet Fuladh close to the Damascus Gate Prison, where Ali was being held. After meeting Fuladh, he told Basim about his childhood, when his father was imprisoned in this prison
Then, they were looking for a path to the prison and they saw only one but it was not inviting. So they would need to find a way to get Basim inside without being seen.
Then Basim showed Fuladh the Khidmah token that he was awarded by Beshi. Fuladh said, Basim could perhaps bribe the guards to look the other way with this token or enlist the help of some merchants. Then Fuladh took his leave, leaving Basim alone on this mission.
I jumped off that roof and started checking around to look for any help. Then I found this merchant, who was keen to help me, if the proposition is an attractive one. I offered him a special token to blend with him, and he agreed.
The merchant was actually taking something inside the prison, so he asked me to stay close to him and follow his lead. So after carrying a crate, I was following the merchant past the gates.
It felt great to see the girls were just staring at me, but no one was daring to disturb me. Though I had to keep following the merchant.
After reaching an empty room, Basim decided not to trouble the merchant any further, as he could do it on his way from now on, with my help, of course.
I went ahead and found two guards talking to each other. And their little chat was enough for Basim to understand Ali had been taken somewhere beneath the prison and likely tortured, so we had to hurry.
When the guards split up, I assassinated one of them first, and the other one almost detected me. So I went for him next and took him down as well, before he could open his mouth.
Until next time, happy gaming.
