Description : The Mage Lysander is up to something with the Skull of Broca.
He'll probably just end up injuring himself and maybe leveling
the city as well. I need you to get the skull from him.
-- The Archmage Tirulean

This is my first shot at a thief level.


Briefing :
Garrett: The Archmage Tirulian has hired me to retrieve an item from a rival mage,
Lysander. He wants me to get the Skull of Broca, an Item of Power which was found
in the Lost City a couple of months ago. Tirulian fears that Lysander may be using
the skull for some nefarious purpose. Normally I don't meddle in the affairs of
wizards. As they say, they are subtle and quick to anger, but Lysander is paying
well and he might turn me into a Burrick if I refused him.

Lysander isn't as powerful a mage as Tirulian -- yet -- so most of his security
is of the mundane variety. Still, Lysander lives in a well-armed fortress, so getting
in and out unnoticed will be tricky.

The fortress consists of two courtyards, an outer and an inner. Lysander is just
completing a tower in the inner courtyard. Tirulian thinks that the skull is housed
in some sort of magical energy concentrator at the top. Lysander is in the process
of moving his residence to his new tower. No one knows where his secret laboratory is.
