A Leap Miscalculated.
I uncovered letters confirming Zahra's ties to the Order. After hiding at a designated spot, I witnessed Zahra's arrogant behavior toward her servants. I attempted an air assassination, but a guard intercepted my strike, leading to a fatal battle where I was eventually overpowered.
When I was looking for clues about Zahra's involvement within the Order, I found some letters scattered in the office. One of them was from Al-Ghul, which definitively linked her to their dark plans.
Through my exploration of the palace side rooms, I found some keys that I needed. These allowed me to open up several crates to find some good loot and extra resources for the mission.
At a point, I got confused about where to look next for more evidence. I called Enkidu again and was looking for any specific golden highlights or spots, but nothing seemed helpful in that moment.
At last, I found another letter that confirmed the involvement of Zahra within the Order beyond a doubt. Basim mentioned that Zahra would be here any time now, confirming our target was close.
Basim suggested we should wait for Zahra to reach a more vulnerable place. I started moving toward the designated hiding spot, staying low to avoid the gaze of any guards.
After I reached the spot, Zahra walked inside along with several guards in a classic, authoritative movement. She immediately ordered a drink from a servant, displaying very rude and demanding behavior toward everyone.
The lady whom Zahra mentioned as a slave brought the drink she asked for very quickly. Zahra seemed momentarily happy with the service, though her general behavior remained cold and dangerous.
I had to assassinate her after confirming her involvement within the Order. I began moving toward a vantage point from where I could try a lethal air assassination on her.
When Zahra was cleaning her hands in the fountain water, I tried the leap. However, at that very moment, a guard walked toward her, and he became my target from mid-air instead of Zahra.
I attacked Zahra right after I got up from the first kill, but all the guards around her rushed in to fight me. This forced me to change my primary focus to defense.
While I was fighting the guards, Zahra managed to escape the courtyard. I planned to take all the guards down first, but they eventually overpowered me and took me down after a long fight.
Until next time, happy gaming.

HIVE coin is currently at a critically low liquidity. It is strongly suggested to withdraw your funds while you still can.
The failed air assassination added realism, reminding us that even well prepared plans can collapse in seconds, and your determination to fight through the guards despite overwhelming odds kept the whole fight gripping.
Absolutely, that failed attempt made the stakes feel real, remind us plans don't always go smoothly.
You have built the investigation part very well. Finding Zahra's letters, especially the one linking her to Al-Ghul, made the assassination justified and meaningful.
Right, discovering the link to Al-Ghul made everything feel justified and tense.
Waiting at the hiding spot and observing Zahra's arrogant behavior added depth to her character. It made the target more important than ever. It was not just another enemy to eliminate. Good Game.👍
Observing her first made eliminating her feel meaningful, not just routine.
I see Zahra's cold attitude toward servants helped establish her character, making the assassination attempt feel justified. It seemed like a tough fight, but the buildup was great.
That cold attitude really added depth to her character before the confrontation.

STOPThis entire scenario felt cinematic, especially the moment where your leap accidentally targeted the guard instead of Zahra, which instantly turned a stealth operation into a chaotic battle.
That moment showed how unpredictable gameplay can create the best storytelling.
Fighting multiple guards while your main target escaped should create real pressure. And even though the outcome was not in your favor, it made the mission feel authentic and emotionally impactful. That guard really jumped in at the worst possible moment.
Losing the target while surviving the chaos made the outcome hit harder emotionally.
