Francesco Salviati is my next target. I start a couple of decoy fights, jump over the wall and open the gate. Salviati comes out and I drop my final smoke bomb and kill him while he's stunned. Hide in some hay right afterwards to go incognito and then take a horse to the city.
Once in, I drop 1050f on three more Smoke Bombs and another 10f on a nearby Codex Page. Takes a little running and a Medicine to get away but all is good. Antonio Maffet is up next but rather than pick off the archers around him, I charge his own tower. A quick blade to the stomach and a dive off of the tower and only one man remains.
Bernardo Baroncelli is in the market in the southeast part of town. You can get in by distracting the guards on the edges of the market or over the rooftops and dive into some hay. Baroncelli walks around the market a bit so it should be easy to take him by surprise. If not, chase the fat bastard down.
After dropping the last hitman, I buy a Large Medicine Pouch (Pouch) for 6000f. Very good upgrade since I now can hold 15 Medicines. Still no weapons or armour that I like. Afterwards, I follow Jacobo de' Pazzi to the Antico Teatro Romano on the west side of San Gimignano. A few cutscenes later, a Smoke Bomb to the ground and Jacobo is no more.
Sequence 6 takes place in the mountains and Forli. Before leaving Florence, I buy a Metal Cestus (Fists) for barehand fighting (will need it against Rodrigo Borgia at least). My next weapon goals are the Sultan's Knife (Small Weapon) and Scimitar (Weapon). I would be getting the Flanged Mage (Weapon) instead but the Scimitar is an 800f upgrade for a +2 Deflect lead, not to mention that Damage and Speed are tied.
Forli has almost nothing to it in terms of story. However, the city does house an Assassin's Tomb and two Codex Pages, making the place important. I pick up the Sultan's Knife for 4300f and will save the rest for the Scimitar. I grab the Codex Pages and infiltrate the Riocca di Ravaldino for my fourth Assassin's Seal. After that, I grab the ship to Venice.
