Dialogue
Meeting Bartolomeo and Pantasilea
- Bartolomeo: Ezio Auditore! Come in, come in. I'll kill you if you don't.
- Ezio: Bartolomeo!
- Bartolomeo: Wait here. You have to meet my wife. Pantasilea! Pantasilea! Where is she?
- Ezio: Did you check behind the table?
- Bartolomeo: Ahhh. Here she is!
- Pantasilea: Lieta di conoscervi. (Nice to meet you.)
- Ezio: Charmed. Truly.
- Bartolomeo: Now, we talk about war.
- Ezio: How goes the fight against the French?
- Bartolomeo: Bene. (Good.) My men are holding their own.
- Ezio: Machiavelli seemed to think things were more difficult.
- Bartolomeo: You know Machiavelli. He ---
A mercenary quickly rushes into the room and interrupts them.
- Mercenary: Abbiamo bisogno del vostro aiuto! (We need your help!)
- Bartolomeo: Scusatemi. (Excuse me.) Throw me Bianca!
Bartolomeo leaves the room.
- Pantasilea: Ezio. Let me get straight to the point. The fight is not going well. We have been attacked on both sides. Borgia on one, French on the other. But know this; the Borgia position is weak. If you can defeat them, we can concentrate our forces on the French front.
- Ezio: I think I know a way to help. Thank you for disclosing this to me Madonna (Madame) d'Alviano.
- Pantasilea: It is the least a wife can do to help her husband.
Assassinating Battista Borgia
Ezio walks into the courtyard to find the the Borgia guards and Bartolomeo's mercenaries in combat. On seeing Ezio the Borgia Captain flees to the protection of his tower.
- Mercenary: Someone! Stop their leader before he gets to the tower!
Ezio takes chase after the fleeing Captain. He succeeds in catching and assassinating Battista Borgia. He then proceeds to destroy the Borgia tower, eliminating their influence over the area.
Renovation of the Mercenaries Guild
Ezio returns to the barracks to see Bartolomeo and Pantasilea.
- Bartolomeo: Ezio. We sent those luridi codardi (fucking cowards) running for the hills!
- Ezio: Yes, we did.
- Bartolomeo: Now that the Pope's dogs have fled, I will be able to draw more men to the fight. But first, I want to reinforce our barracks.
- Ezio: Who will take care of this?
- Bartolomeo: I'm no good with these things. You are the educated one, you approve the plans!
- Ezio: Va bene (Okay), but in return I need to know Cesare and Rodrigo's every move. Can your men track them for me?
- Bartolomeo: Of course!
Ezio consults an architect regarding the renovation of the barracks. After the renovations are complete Ezio pays a visit.
- Bartolomeo: Isn't she a thing of beauty?
- Ezio: Very impressive.
- Bartolomeo: More men join us everyday. It has become very competitive, which is just the way I like it. As you can see, this board shows the ranks of our top warriors. Prove your skills and you will move up the list.
- Ezio: Shouldn't I already be at the top?
- Mercenary:(calls from the basement) Gian's fighting downstairs!
- Bartolomeo: If you are looking to show off, we also have fights. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got money on this match.
In the courtyard;
- Pantasilea: Where is Bartolomeo?
- Ezio: At the fight downstairs.
- Pantasilea: He has such an aggressive view of the world. However, strategy is equally important. Take these carrier pigeons for example: Each one sent from Machiavelli bears the name of an important Templar in Roma. Eliminate them and you will have more of an impact than a battle ever could.
- Ezio: Thank you, Madonna (Madame). Can you ask Bartolomeo to come see me at Isola Tiberina (Tiber Island) with a report about Cesare and Rodrigo's whereabouts?
- Pantasilea: He will be there.
Outcome
Ezio assassinates another Borgia Captain and renovates the Mercenaries Guild. Bartolomeo and the mercenaries will now help the Assassins. There first task is to find Cesare and Rodrigo.
Trivia
- To achieve full synchronization, the player should kill only the Borgia Captain.
- When Ezio asks: "Did you check behind the table?", it's a reference to when he and Bartolomeo first met, and he was searching for his sword Bianca.
