Description:

After obtaining the Mystic Heart and the Mystic Soul, I realized that The Menace
would soon be after me. The information that I learned from the Keepers will aid
me in my quest to destroy The Menace. The crystals are the secret to empowering
The Menace, as well as to destroying The Menace.

If I can find the proper way to use the crystals, then I can destroy The Menace.
However, I'll need to find more teleportation technology. It appears that only
Keepers and I can use such technology; ordinary folk cannot. Somehow, I am more
closely connected with the Keepers than I would care to admit.

===================================================================================

This mission is a *short* sequel to "The Varyx Obelisk". Garrett has obtained the Mystic
crystals and must now use them to destroy The Menace. The Keepers exert strong
influence over the Hammerites, including converting them to Haunts to serve as
sentinels that are immune to The Menace. The Menace is a former Hammerite Priest
that is immune to all attacks. Only the crystals can activate the receptacles
that will destroy The Menace.

Note: There are hints, subtle and not-so-subtle, sprinkled throughout the mission.
LISTEN CAREFULLY TO GARRETT; he can sense when something is out of the ordinary.

In particular, remember to "duck and crawl" when you find a chalkmark "X" on the
floor.

Expert: You cannot kill any creature, blackjack is allowed, but frowned upon.

Master: Expert restrictions plus you cannot harm any creature (no blackjack).

Ghost: Master restrictions plus you cannot harm or alert any enemy creature.

===================================================================================

This mission was built specifically for ThiefGold. Thief:TheDarkProject players
may experience gameplay bugs, crashes, which prevent completion of the mission.

===================================================================================

I maxed out on sound rooms, objects, and terrain brushes. I wanted to do so much
more with this mission. Oh well, I hope you enjoy it!
