Memory Block 4 - William de Montferrat (Acre)
Below are the quotes from the segments of Memory Block 4 (William de Montferrat - Acre).
Memory: Investigation
William retreats to the back of his citadel whenever challenged by King Richard’s authority. The precarious relationship between the two men seems to have spread to their own hosts, causing no small amount of tension. I suspect William’s citadel to be densely populated with men loyal to him alone.
Memory: Investigation
William’s men fear he is destined for failure, though they dare not turn to the King for help. There is mention of a third man - one said to reside in the harbor - though he inspires little confidence as well… Uncertainly rules the day. It makes men paranoid - and my work more difficult.

Work continues in the Chain District of Acre, though we are concerned about William’s ability to see this through to the end. He takes his duties a bit too seriously, and the people may reject him when the time comes. Without the aid of the treasure, we can ill afford an uprising, lest it recall the King from the field, and then your plan will be for nothing. We cannot reclaim what’s been stolen unless the two sides are united. Perhaps you might prepare another to take his place - simply as a precaution. We worry that our man in the harbor will become increasingly unstable.
Already he talks of distancing himself. And this means we cannot rely on him should William fall. Let us know what you intend that we might execute it. We remain, ever faithful to the cause.
Memory: Investigation
King Richard is visitng William today, and they’re almost certain to quarrel. Once they’re finished, William will likely return to his citadel to brood. He’ll spend the rest of the day scolding his men, distrcting him from everything else.
Memory: Investigation
At the first sign of trouble, the citadel’s gates will close. Should this happen, the only way for me to escape will be to climb the fortress walls.

This map details the position of William’s archers. Removing them should clear a path for me along the rooftops.

Repairs on the citadel are being handled poorly. According to this map, a structure has been left standing and seemingly forgotten. I will turn their mistake to my advantage.

Memory: Knowledge
William and King Richard will meet today, and if the past is any indicator, thigns will go poorly. Afterwards, William will return to his citadel and take his frustrations out on the men within. The day’s events are sure to distract him, providing me with the perfect opportunity to strike.
Memory: Assassination
William of Montferrat sought to kill King Richard, I had assumed he meant to do this for his son, Conrad, but it seems I was in error. His wish was for the people to inherit the land, free from the whims of petty tyrants. A “new world” he called it. What is the meaning of these cryptic words? I shall have to ask Al Mualim…
