Contact info : jari@virpi.net
Date of release : February 29, 2004
Description : For a very long time the players have been
playing the game from the viewpoint of a
thief. Players have made the guards to be
fools. Let's see how you can perform in
guarding a manor.

***NOTE: TO PLAY THIS LEVEL YOU MUST HAVE INSTALLED GAYLESAVER'S
CUSTOM SCRIPTS.***

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THESE SCRIPTS FROM:

So what is going on:

You play this game as Benny the guard. The guard who worked
in Bafford's, Ramirez, Sheriff Thruart's and Gervaisius manor,
but he was always fired because either someone broke in,
something got lost or someone got killed. But this time will be
different. This time our hero Benny won't get fire. This time
YOU will make sure of that.

Lord Myrdon has hired you three weeks ago to guard his manor.
You don't know why he hired you, and you don't actually care about
that, but it has raised your curiosity. Whatever the reason may
be, you have been hired to protect the lord and his most precious
item: The Golden Skull of the Dead. This is a very important job
and you don't want to get yourself fired. Failing in this simple
job may result in your own death. Your reputation is not the
best amongst the guards. Try not to decrease it any more.

*Note: You can visit the barracks next to the starting point and
play ThiefPoker with the other guards to gain some extra cash. You
can only buy items from the store the first time you enter the armory!

Known bugs:

You may experience some slowdown when playing the party game.
This is caused by the huge music files.

On expert, one of thieves may function strangely. Should be
fixed by now, but you can never be certain.

They should work correctly after leaving the armory.

Caltrops can not be picked up after throwing. They get deleted when
