As Good As New

Ezio wakes in a house in Rome. He leaves to find a Doctor and a View point so that he can find the Mausoleo di Augusto, where he is to meet Niccolò Machiavelli.

In The House
Ezio awakens in a house with a woman who has tended to his wounds.


 * Woman: Calmatevi (Calm down). The pain will end soon.
 * Ezio: Where have you brought me?
 * Woman: Nowhere, Messere (Mister). A man left you here.
 * Ezio: Did he say anything?
 * Woman: Only this. You are to meet Messer (Mister) Machiavelli in front of the Mausoleo di Augusto. Let me help you get dressed.
 * Ezio: The same man who brought me here gave me these clothes?
 * Woman: Si, Messere. (Yes, Mister).

Ezio gets dressed into white assassin’s robes and puts on a hidden blade that was left for him. He opens the door of the house.


 * Ezio: Ah. Roma.
 * Woman: Yes, or what is left of it since the Borgia came to power.
 * Ezio: And the Mausoleo?
 * Woman: Unfortunately, you cannot see it from here.
 * Ezio: How about from the top of that church?
 * Woman: Yes, but the stairs up are closed.
 * Ezio: That should not be a problem. Vi ringrazio di tutto quello che avete fatto per me, buona donna. Addio. (Thank you very much for everything you have done for me. Farewell, good woman).

Finding A Doctor
Ezio leaves and begins to head towards the church. If Ezio tries anything strenuous such as fighting, running or climbing he will say:
 * Ezio: I need to find a doctor. My arm! Merda (Shit!)

Ezio meets with a doctor.
 * Ezio: Salute (Hello). I require medicine.
 * Doctor: Let me look. Someone your age cannot recover from a wound like this with medicine. Here is something to dull the pain, you will heal over time.
 * Ezio: Grazie (Thank you).
 * Doctor: Four out of five doctors would suggest leeches, but they have not proven effective against such things. However, I can recommend several good colleagues around the city. Do you need anything else?

Ezio leaves to climb to the church tower’s viewpoint.
 * Ezio: “Someone my age.” Imbecille (Jerk)... (Whilst climbing the church) My back.

Tailing The Borgia
Ezio reaches the view point and performs a Leap of Faith into a trailer load of hay at the foot of the tower. He over hears a group of Borgia soldiers talking.
 * Borgia Soldier: Word has gone out that a peasant is resisting arrest. We will show him how things operate under the Borgia.
 * Ezio: Machiavelli can wait.

Outcome
Ezio follows the soldiers through the streets. They lead him to the 'resistant peasant' and begin attacking him. Ezio kills them all to defend the citizen.
