Description : Dangerous Conditions

Many decades ago, the Order of the Hammer created a combustible powder, which they used to fuel their Explosive Charge.

As with many Hammerite inventions, the Mechanists took it a step further. Using a refined form of the powder, they created small projectiles that could be fired from cannons mounted on the Builder's Children.

Things may soon get worse. Gurmart the Alchemist is close to creating an even better form of the powder. It will be so volatile that a tiny amount could be used to fuel a weapon small enough to be used by a single guard.

Gurmart's work is so dangerous that he performs all of his experiments in some partly flooded caves just outside the City. The moist atmosphere should reduce the chance of anything going wrong.

This is where your chance lies. The City Watch has been funding Gurmart, but their patience is wearing thin. The research has been expensive yet there has been little progress. If something went wrong, it would be the last straw. The City Watch would cut the funding and Gurmart would no longer be able to carry out his work.


Your task is to get into his laboratory and cause an explosion.

It is vital that the City Watch do not suspect sabotage. There are two ways to ensure this:
1) Do not allow anyone to see or hear you, or even to become suspicious.
2) Do not allow anyone to survive the explosion! That would leave no witnesses.
