Prerequisite: Complete Side Quest: The Mousetrap
Suggested Level: 36
REWARDS: 3,000 XP
Rescue the Mouse
Track down the Mouse (1), who is held captive in a jail cart traveling the road near the Apollonion of Cyrene. The driver is alone with no support. Simply follow the cart and hit the driver with a warrior arrow or put the horses to sleep with sleep darts to buy you more time to assassinate the driver.
Carry the Mouse to Safety
Open the cage and pick up the Mouse. Carry him away from the cart until the “Speak to the Mouse” objective becomes active. Then drop him.
Find the Murder Site at the Baths
Head northeast to the Baths (2) and find the open window up on the building’s southwest side. There are many soldiers patrolling inside; having direct entry into the investigation room makes things easier.
Investigate the Murder Site
Inspect the bloodstains on the floor near the locked door to reach the next objective.
Investigate the Rest of the Baths
Climb the wall behind the bed with the beads clue on it; then stand on the top and look down at the few guards below. One is guarding the room you need to get into (the one that the bloodstains lead to).
Throw sleep darts at one or both of the guards and then drop-assassinate the other. Run into the room quickly, and investigate Paulus Aurelius’s body in the back before more guards track you down. You acquire the On the Usurer Paulus Aurelius note, which names the actor Metrobius as the next victim.
Find Metrobius at the Theater of Apollo
Get back to the investigation room by climbing the walls. Exit the Baths through the same open window used to enter.
Mount up and ride to the amphitheater (3) in northwest Cyrene. On the ground before the stage is another dead body, but you need to destroy the lion before you can investigate.
Examine Metrobius’s Corpse
Interact with Metrobius’s corpse to obtain the On the Pickled Ham Metrobius note. The note mentions the next scene takes place at the brothel, the Wolf’s Den.
Find the Whorer at the Wolf’s Den
Mount up and ride southeast to the Wolf’s Den (4). Have the warrior bow ready before you approach the body.
Examine the Whorer’s Corpse
You find yet another note on the dead victim: On my father the Whorer Akakios. It reads, “Father you die. You will be quiet now mother?”
Kill Vesta the Murderer
As soon as you are done examining the father, draw your warrior bow and look west to the open doorway. The murderer is coming at you from inside the building. Fill him with holes. Confirm the kill to receive the On Vesta’s Son Oidipous note.
Speak to the Mouse
Travel north to find the Mouse (5) hiding in some bushes south of the Temple of Zeus. You let him know that he is in the free and clear, the killer has been killed, but you have his letters as proof.
