Taking on Ali’s contract to burn a slave merchant at the Upper Harbour, I scouted the heavily guarded area and the target's two cougars using Enkidu. Sneaking into the restricted zone, I silently eliminated a rooftop archer, bypassed a brute, and executed a clean air-to-chain assassination completely undetected.
A new contract from Ali arrived, titled "The Slave Merchant," detailing a notorious slaver arranging a shipment of human cargo at the Upper Harbour. Labeling the target a wicked fiend who must suffer horribly for his atrocities, Ali included a specific contractor's request: kill him with fire.
Already positioned nearby after fast-traveling, I performed a smooth Leap of Faith to drop down toward the harbour, already formulating a plan on how to deliver a fiery end to my target.
Approaching the perimeter, I spotted several guards patrolling the harbour entrance and immediately called upon Enkidu to scout from above.
Scanning the area, I located the slave merchant, accompanied by two fierce cougars walking right behind him as bodyguards, surrounded by a heavy contingent of soldiers. Determined not to let him slip away, I resolved to tackle the infiltration in the stealthiest manner possible.
Returning to Basim's perspective, I sent Enkidu back up a second time to carefully tag every guard in the vicinity so I wouldn't get caught off guard during the hunt.
While scouting through Enkidu's eyes, I observed the slaver taunting an enslaved woman locked inside a cage, likely awaiting the next shipment. With the layout clear, it was finally time to begin the hunt.
Entering the heavily guarded restricted area, I spotted my first prey: an archer keeping watch from a rooftop. Sneaking up behind him, I eliminated him with a quiet assassination.
My next targets stood positioned near another rooftop across the compound, requiring me to climb down and cross over. However, a massive brute blocked the direct path and would easily spot me scaling the wall, forcing me to pivot and locate an alternate route around his line of sight.
Slipping past another guard who had his back turned, I crept carefully toward my intended targets. The atmosphere was thick with tension, and one of the guards glanced in my direction, forcing me to hold still until he turned away.
Seizing the opening, I closed the gap, leaped into a clean air assassination on the first target, and seamlessly followed through with a chain assassination on the second, taking both down in rapid succession without anyone around hearing a single sound.
Until next time, happy gaming.
