=================================================================================== Title : A Short Night's Work Author : Bryan Gleason (alias BBB) Contact Info : bgleason1@gmail.com Homepage : n/a Date Finished : December 25, 2017 Briefing :I had the strangest encounter of my successful thieving career the other night. While sipping a draft beer at the McHenry's Pub, I was approached by 3 local nobles. My first reaction was this must be a setup. I was a little uncomfortable as I had robbed one of them of a special gold chalice a while back, but since I am so stealthy, he never knew who the perpetrator was. In any case, they told me they had a job for me and they were willing to pay handsomely for my service. I was intrigued. Evidently, they were completely fed up with the Mayor of the town and his shenanigans. It was well known the Mayor had been shaking down local nobles and merchants for years under the guise that he was providing security and protection for their businesses. He had collected a significant amount of what appears to be bribe payments to keep him off their backs. Working with the city council proved no help for the locals. They went on to explain they wanted me to break into his house, crack the safe and rob him blind. I was to deliver the loot to one of the noble's castles in 3 nights. They would provide transportation. Sounded like a reasonable job for a pretty tidy fee. I tried to appear aloof and disinterested, but when they put 50 gold on the table as a down payment for services to be rendered and paid my bar bill, I could not say no. I guess it is time to go to work. =================================================================================== * Playing Information * Game : Thief 2: The Metal Age Title : A Short Night's Work File Name : miss20.mis Difficulty Settings : Yes Equipment Store : No Map : Yes Auto Map : No New Graphics : No New Sounds : No Multi-Language Support : No Briefing : No Length : n/a Size : n/a Difficulty Level Info : Normal, Hard, and Expert * Construction * Base : No base, built from scratch Build Time : Seems like forever.
