Description:

This mission is part of my campaign Dark Age Memories-Life of a Thief. The action
takes place way before the events in A Tough Night and Into the Dark Forest and after A
Visit To The Baron. You don't need to play those missions before this to understand what
is happening. Just read Garrett's Journal in your inventory at start. It contains all the
story lines and all you need to know in order to play this mission.

Briefing:

"After the Great Schism in the year 64, a group of hammerites left The City and the order
and begun to live underground a life as hermits. They founded there The Order of Hermits
of Saint Graimal. The order buried themselves beneath the earth and built there the
legendary necropolis of Tora. The ages have passed and now it's the year 864.
I believe I am in luck this week when i discovered a book about an entrance to the old
necropolis, which is located in a hammerite cemetery deep in the wilderness. The legendary
Chalice of Saint Graimal is believed to be buried here, under the necropolis, in a hammerite
mortuary complex. Beneath the cemetery is a facility of the hermits and the book says the
city of Tora is somewhere under the facility. I think it's time to take a ride to this city
and recover the chalice which is unvaluable. Also, one of my fences requires me to steal
the Uraninite Research Notes from the hermits, a document containing information about a
new ore which is believed to have incredible powers. He said I will find the document in
the possessionn of High Priest Colthus, one of the leaders of the hermits.
The rent is late and my landlord is a tough one, so i better hurry and do this job."
