Prerequisite: Discover Kyrenaika
Suggested Level: 35
Rewards: 3,000 XP, Miscellaneous
Unlocks: Side Quest: Cat and Mouse
Speak to the Mouse
Speak to Mouse (1) in the town square. He says he has trinkets, bows, blades, and scepters for sale at his shop and wants you to follow him there.
Follow the Mouse
Follow the Mouse west to his shop (2) a short run from the square.
Kill the Roman Soldiers
As you reach his shop, three Roman soldiers ambush you. Whip out the sword and slaughter them, or put them all to sleep and avoid the struggle. Assassinate them in their sleep-dart-induced slumber.
Speak to the Mouse
Speak to the Mouse under his shop tent. He thinks the Romans stole his chest of trinkets and asks you to retrieve it for him.
Find and Retrieve the Mouse’s Stash from the Roman Barracks
Cyrene Barracks
Prerequisite: Approach the barracks
Suggested Level: 35
Location Reward: 900 XP
Location Objectives: Kill one captain and one commander, loot two treasures
Head northwest to the street on the west side of the Cyrene Barracks. Walk onto the rooftop (3) of its westernmost building and look around.
Down in the fort to the left (north), two guards (4) are usually on break together. The captain often patrols around here too. Or you can find him in the lower courtyard to the northeast (5), but he won’t settle there for long. He also frequents the interior of the building you’re standing on (3).
Before you set the brazier trap on the next rooftop (7), make sure none of the previously mentioned enemies see you. The same goes for the soldier (6) standing guard to the south. Use arrows or a combination of sleep darts, arrows, or wrist blade assassinations. Once you clear the west area, you can safely venture east into the barracks.
Clear the south courtyard (8); there’s usually a couple soldiers here. And watch the wall walk. Put arrows in the soldiers who patrol the outer walls.
The commander (9) is very comfortable at his desk on the central building’s second floor. If you’ve cleared the soldiers almost everywhere in the lower courtyard, you could enter through most any doorway and climb the stairs to sneak up behind him and assassinate him, or you could travel by rooftops, drop down to his north balcony, and come up behind him through the second-floor entry.
Bring the Stash to the Mouse
Before you grab Mouse’s stash (10) from the cellar of this building—which is in the same room with one of the two treasures—we suggest killing the large brute guard at the main barracks exit (11). You have to carry the chest out and you cannot climb ladders with it in your hands. One option is to go out the main gate. Grab the final treasure in the southeast building before you leave. Once through, the trader’s building (12) is just 100 meters to the northeast.
Enter the trader’s building and climb the stairs to the second level, where you find Mouse at his desk. Drop the chest on the floor on the marker near the doorway to his balcony.
