* Text Briefing *

It seems that there is a new thief organization called "The Dragon's Tail" that has been gaining quite a bit of a reputation lately for being ruthless and unrelenting to their competitors. The Keepers think that the organization is involved with illegal smuggling, gambling and other incidents and are giving The Keepers and myself a bad name. They want me to break into the one of their lackey's residences and get some information on them and return back.

This place would probably be swamped with Dragon-Tail thieves at night, so after a long fun night, most of them are probably sleeping so ironically, a day time pursuit may be my best option, someone would have to be pretty stupid to break in during the day, right? Heh heh. Since I'm dressed just like they are as well, I might be able to walk right by a few of them without causing too much of a stir, they would probably just think I'm one of them, unless they start thinking about it too much... however once I get into the house, my non-Dragon- Tail affiliation would be pretty clear. The particular owner of this joint goes by the name of "Melian" so it would a good idea to find out the exact method of how he's running his part in this group, perhaps papers or something would be useful to return with, and while I'm in here, I might as well pick up something for myself.

* Extra Notes *

Since this level was just created for fun, I tried to mix both humor and some degree of seriousness to make it somewhat interesting.

No known problems or errors, there a few areas where aligning the wainscoting correctly results in a multi-colored mismatch, so I left it alone as I would've ran out of time, of course I would've liked more time to continue and make some things much better, like a nice kitchen, etc... but alas time and space didn't allow it. ;-)

I'm really sorry about not using EAX, I wanted to but my system is an older model and doesn't support it, I just want you to know I would've done it for you. :-)

Have fun and enjoy yourself, let Melian's water bill go sky high, take a shower, do anything you want...
