The Tournament (Unity)
The Tournament was a virtual representation of one of Arno Dorian's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.
Description
Arno and a team of Assassins participated in a military tournament to kill General Marcourt and his Templar conspirators.
Dialogue
- Bishop: 1793. The French Army is looking for a few good men.
A General fought a man in a military tournament at Les Invalides.
- Marcourt: Is that a sword you're holding, boy, or a spade?
The General held his sword to the man's chest.
- Marcourt: Perhaps farming would be a wiser vocation.
The General knocked the man down.
- Bishop: General Marcourt. Butchered people all over France in the name of liberty. Templars love this guy.
Marcourt and his Templar conspirators were shown making plans.
- Bishop: The revolution wasn't moving quickly enough for Marcourt and his Templar conspirators.
The conspirators toasted to their success, while one of them walked away.
- Conspirators: For de Molay.
- Bishop: So, they planned a military coup. What Marcourt didn't know, was that one of his Templar conspirators wasn't a Templar at all. Alexandre Dumas. Military hero of the new Republic. Friend of the Brotherhood.
Dumas was shown fending off Austrian troops at a bridge over the Eisack river.
- Bishop: Dumas was hardcore. A war hero that stood alone against entire battalions. Napoleon compared him to a Roman hero.
Dumas was shown next to the conspirators at the tournament.
- Bishop: The tournament is Marcourt's play to recruit the best and brightest for his coup. Dumas' counter is to invite the Assassins to compete. The winners of the tournament get to meet Marcourt in person. Win the tournament and kill the Templar conspirators.
- Host: Think you have what it takes, citizens? Step up and test your mettle!
- Bishop: You're not getting into that tournament without letters of permission. You can find some nearby, but they won't be easy to get.
If Arno killed any of the soldiers, Bishop would warn the initiate.
- Bishop: They're expecting you to be a French soldier, so not killing other French soldiers will help you blend in.
Arno stole the required letters of permission.
- Bishop: That's the last letter. Head over to the first event.
Arno reached the starting area.
- Host: The Paris guard, here to compete! Do our city proud, citizens!
- Bishop: Time for a little parkour demonstration. I want to see how far you can push it.
Arno retrieved 34 flags on an obstacle course before the allotted time ran out.
- Host: The team from Paris has passed the obstacle course! Time for the duel!
- Bishop: No surprise you smoked the competition in a climbing contest, but Marcourt's looking for fighters. Let's give him what he wants.
Arno reached the fighting grounds at Les Invalides.
- Host: Combatants! We are ready to begin. While we are testing your skill at combat, try not to kill each other. Save your blades and bullets for the enemy!
- Bishop: Ok. Looks like you need to raise your team's flag while the other teams try to stop you. Good luck!
One more flag is down! - Host: Everybody ready? (On your guard!)
Arno raised the Paris flags.
- Host: One flag has been taken down!
Another flag is down!
