Version : 2.5 (second fix by juvat)

(Sorry for the big zip size for such a small mission, it is very hard to clear out all of the extras when using dromed deluxe).

Description : This is a small mission that takes place around and in a Hammer Church known as Delford Abbey. It takes place shortly before the settings of Thief 2.

Story: Delford Abbey is a small Church located in more of the outskirts of town. Their main source of income are some catacombs that stretch throughout different parts of the City. The catacombs are their main source of income, for they charge a lot to buy space down there. There had been some sort of cave in or something like that and they had to close it down for reapairs. But a few days ago, they reopened them. This is a good opportunity to get some loot, for the City watch are really on to me and it's hard make anything without losing it these days. Rumor also has it that in their area of the catacombs, one of the Master Forgers or something like that is supposed to be buried with a scepter. While I am in there, I am going to prove this rumor true or false. However in the few days that it has been opened, the undead have been getting restless down there. This has caused a quarantine from the rest of the city. This wouldn't be a problem, except the City Watch found all of my equipment. However the church is somewhat small and should not be a problem for me.

Known Bugs: Testers reported this mission to be very unstable, and corrupt their save games causing instant crashes upon loading when in the catacombs. Don't worry, it won't do anything bad to your Thief2 game if that happens.
The Hammer model I use also dissapears when you block with it I believe, just a stroke of laziness not to replace it with a newer version (not to mention fear of screwing up the directory again).
