A Thief 2 Fan Mission by Spitter
Released August 28, 2005




Story thus far...


Sheriff Truart has begun his personal vendetta against the City's crime element
and I'm on the top of his Most Wanted list. Jobs have been scarce - although most
of the fences would gladly offer me any jobs they have, the fact is that there
aren't all that many of them around anymore. What comes to my thefts, I've been
clutching at straws lately. Luckily one of my sources has dropped me a very...
lucrative hint. After this job I can keep a low profile for a while.

I've never been much in to organised crime. I'm in this trade to profit myself, and
the idea of funding some lazy godfather figure pulling the strings in the shadows
doesn't really seem all that intriguing, something that my old friend Ramirez had
to learn the hard way. But, as they say, there's no honor among thieves...

A local group of criminals, calling themselves the Redblade Smugglers' Guild, are well
established with overseas smuggling and piracy. They operate a legit-looking shipping
company as a front, located in the Docks district. What has caught my interest is the
rumor about some very valuable cargo they've stashed away in their warehouse. What
this cargo exactly is my contact couldn't say, but it's bound to be the one under
the most strict guard. Well, whatever it'll turn out to be, I doubt the smugglers
will miss it. Much.

It's always bit risky to meddle with affairs of other underground enterpreneurs,
especially since the Redblades are under the protection of Webster, a local warden. But
with profits akin to this, I'm more than willing to take the risk. Besides, it's always
a good idea to remind the wardens and their underlings who's the best in the trade.
Heh, actually by disturbing the Redblade's operations I'm doing a favor for Truart.
He should give me a medal for this...

NOTES & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


Had I worked on the level all by myself, it would not be here today. At the very least
it'd be in much inferior state (or in much *more* inferior state, depending on your
point of view). Thus, I'd like to thank the following people...

Textures
Vigil, Undule, Majic

Objects and AI models/skins
Eshaktaar, Vigil, DarkDragon, Nameless Voice, R Soul, Schwaa and Targa

Thanks go to Seeker for drawing the city area maps and Notaction for audio touch-ups.
Also special thanks go to #thief and #dromed people, who inspired, suggested and helped
me when I was flailing my arms around helpless - in particular Eshaktaar, R Soul, TF,
Tumbleweed and Vigil for trying to figure out what mystical curse had struck my Dromed
this time. Thanks go to the fine folk at Editors' Guild for helping me when I was in
need, too.

I've picked quite a few resources over the years from here and there, so I hope I didn't
forget anyone.

I guess that's it then.
