Date of release :
Version : 1
Beta Testers : GLORIA CREEP, UNDEAD GAMER, BIKERDUDE, KRUSH THE SECOND
Play info : A dark mission so don't play it with the sun shining in the window.
EAX : I tried, but I don't have Eax on my system so it is probably all messed up, so you can turn it off in the options if you want. I've been told that it works.

Lighting (Important!!) : When you start the game, you will be looking at a tree. It has a split in it at eye level. Turn up the gamma until you can see it clearly, then turn the gamma back down until you almost can't see it at all. The keepers light with candles and many areas are dark, but if you did the gamma thing you should be okay.

Description : This is a sequel to Damsel in Distress.

Story:
Garrett has sent Basso and the girls to a safe place while he tries to sell the loot aquired in Von Blaques Mansion. His Fence bought everything exept the Skygem, "I've heard of that stone" He says "it is cursed and I will not have anything to do with it."After a week of trying to sell it he decides to stay home and think about weather he wants to keep trying or just throw it in the river.

Everyone who wrote the good tutorials I learned from. dlw6, Bikerdude, Slyfoxx, Random Taffer, The Night terror for voices. And to all who put up with my questions at the guild. And to The Beta testers who also gave some good input. also thanks to Epithumia for hosting for me and my beta testers, and providing us all with a means to upload and release our FMs. Alun Bestor (www.washboardabs.net/thief/) for the cobwebs, the folks who gave us dedx, (I only used the the keepers) and a special thanks to an unamed friend who provided me with a lot of support and other things he doesn't want credit for. If I overlooked anyone it is purely an oversight, please let me know if I have.
