S a i n t s a n d T h i e v e s 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...

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.
