Briefing:
An old acquaintance of mine has been given a job by a certain disgustingly rich bibliophile. It's about an oriental treatise on alchemy - Ihq rqulm nf ihq bltod - that's supposed to be in the possession of a commune of foreigners, living in a seaside estate ruined by a landslide. As informers say, the commune follows a very strict monastery-like set of rules, though they try not to upset the Hammerites by any kind of religious appearance. When it comes to the infiltration of the place, as well as tracking down the right tome within the multitude of others, the worst obstacle would be the linguistic one - our dear employer has such expectations concerning the supposedly magical abilities of the burglar, and he is not even willing to supply any tools or literary references to do the job; my current relationship with the Keepers isn't gonna be helpful here, either. I hate this work but I have to first enter the household of other suspicious fanatics only to find out-what-I want to steal.. Seems like a job with a lot of backtracking, so I'd better not leave any bodies behind - gonna take only the most important set of tools, especially since the book really is a big one. The district gates are closed for the night, so I will have to exercise myself trying to traverse the city, too. And I may also want to return to my fellow - after being given the guidelines and having scouted the neighbourhood he began to act a fool, pretending he hasn't agreed on any job at all. Good to know that professionalism hasn't gone down the drain.
