Florentine Fiasco is the first memory in the Bonfire of the Vanities DLC pack for Assassin's Creed II.
Description
Ezio Auditore navigated through an uncommonly confused crowd to the bridge area to meet and discuss matters with Niccolò Machiavelli. They met in the Oltrarno District of Florence and discussed the current events in the city and the rule of Girolamo Savonarola. The pair made their way to the Palazzo Pitti, where they saw Florentine and Borgia guards fighting in the streets. They quickly came up with a plan to topple Savonarola's rule.
Dialogue
Ezio hurried through Florence to meet with Machiavelli at the Oltarno bridge. As he made his way through the city, he overheard bits and pieces of civilian conversations.
- Civilian 1: ... If Piero had only a tenth of his father's talent, we'd still have someplace to call home...
- Civilian 2: ... Never should have welcomed that mad monk into the city. Look at all the misery he's wrought...
- Civilian 3: ... Don't understand why'd they'd be so willing to accept his oppression...
- Monk: ...Just threw us out! Said all we owned belonged to the Chiesa di San Marco (Church of San Marco) now...
- Civilian 4: Sometimes I wish the Assassino (Assassin) would return to Firenze, that we might be free of this tyranny.
- Civilian 5: He's just a myth, a tale told by parents to their children.
- Civilian 4: No, my father had seen him in San Gimignano, years ago.
- Civilian 5: Sure, if you say so.
Ezio met Machiavelli on the Oltrarno bridge.
- Machiavelli: Salve (Hello) Ezio. You picked a fine time for a homecoming.
- Ezio: Then it's true? Savonarola has taken control over Firenze?
- Machiavelli: Yes. No doubt aided by that treacherous artifact.
- Ezio: We should get to work on retrieving it.
- Machiavelli: That may be more complicated than you think.
- Ezio: Hah! When isn't it? Why don't you fill me in on things?
- Machiavelli: Walk with me.
Ezio and Machiavelli began to walk
- Machiavelli: It all started a few weeks ago. The man everyone once reviled was suddenly the one they worshiped.
- Ezio: Ah, the Apple?
- Machiavelli: Only in part. It's not the city he's enthralled, but its leaders: men possessed of influence and power. They, in turn, oppress the citizens and ensure his will is done.
- Ezio: The people act as if they have no say in the matter.
- Machiavelli: Rare is the man who is willing to oppose the status quo. And so it falls to us to help them see the truth.
Ezio and Machiavelli came across the bodies of several dead Borgia soldiers.
- Ezio: These bodies bear the emblem of the Borgia...
- Machiavelli: Yes. The Spaniard keeps sending his soldiers into Firenze, and Firenze keeps sending them back - usually in pieces.
- Ezio: Then he knows the Apple is here as well... An unfortunate complication.
Ezio and Machiavelli resumed making their way to the Palazzo Pitti, however, they encountered some opposition along the way. Ezio and Machiavelli dealt with the attackers and arrived at the Palazzo Pitti.
- Ezio: A direct assault would be dangerous. Especially with the Apple in his possession.
- Machiavelli: True. But what other option is there?
- Ezio: Aside from the city's leaders, the people's minds are their own, correct?
- Machiavelli: Sì.
- Ezio: And they follow Savonarola not by choice, but force and fear?
- Machiavelli: Sì.
- Ezio: Then I propose we use this to our advantage. If we can silence his lieutenants and stir up discontent, he will be distracted and I will have a chance to strike.
- Machiavelli: Clever. I'll speak with La Volpe and Paola. They can help to organize the uprising as you free districts.
- Ezio: Then it's settled. I'll take care of his abettors.
Outcome
Ezio and Machiavelli devised a plan to overthrow Savonarola, which involved killing his nine lieutenants and rallying the people with the help of Paola and La Volpe.
