Plot Description: This mission is set just after the events of Thief 1. Lord Morego is one of the more reclusive of the city's nobility. He's rich, but he's never had any one item valuable enough to be worth the risk of robbing him. This is all about to change, because word on the underground tells me he'll shortly be receiving a mysterious book from sources abroad. There are wild rumours it's a pagan magic book bound in human skin, but I've not heard anything concrete. The item must be phenomenally valuable though, because it's being transported with an escort of armed guards. I'm no highwayman, so my best chance will be after the book has arrived. This may also pose a problem, because the paranoid Lord Morego is having a brand new vault constructed underneath his house, using new Mechanist technology. It seems some inside information couldn't hurt, so I'll be casing the joint before the vault is finished, to try and get some tips on how to break in. Once I've figured out the best way to get in, I'll make my plans for the night Lord Morego is throwing a party for the city's nobility...
Additional Comments: QUICKSAVE WARNING! There may occasionally be times in mission one where the ghosting objective fails suddenly. This is usually due to a guard hearing you even though you didn't make much noise. For this reason, please check to make sure you have no failed objectives before quicksaving, as there's nothing more frustrating than having a save just before the Mission Failed screen!
This is a 2-part mission. I know some people will be put off by the ghost objective and find secrets objective. For this reason, the ghost objective is optional on Normal and Hard and you only have to find one secret on Normal, so play on normal if you don't like this type of gameplay much! Stick with it though - the restrictions don't apply to mission 2!
Please download and install the Object Enhancement Pack for the optimal experience! (not required)
Please note that the Armory is deliberately inaccessible in mission one - there is nothing mission critical in there so don't waste time trying to find the key!
