Title: A Grand Opening
Email: bruny11@hotmail.com
Date of release: June 6, 2000

Description: 

Constructed centuries ago, the City public Baths have existed in a state of decay and
disrepair for decades. Rumor has it a series of particularly gruesome murders prompted
its closing. Now after a year-long renovation effort the Baths have been restored
to something approaching its former glory. A lavish Gala has been planned to celebrate
the Grand Opening. Officials have been rushing to apply the finishing touches before
the first guests--the cream of the City's social elite--arrive. No expense has been
spared in the restoration, which makes for plentiful looting. In addition, that solid
gold Gala trophy is a prize too tempting for a thief to resist.

OBJECTIVES:

- Steal the Gala trophy.
- Pick up 700 in valuables while you're there.
- Don't kill anybody.
- Escape with your life.

Notes:

This mission was constructed for the TTLG-sponsored Thief mission competition. This
competition is a 3 week *trial* to gauge interest in a real competition to be held
at some later date. Unfortunately after months of peace and quiet, Real Life chose
the worst possible time to come bashing down the door. I didn't have time to finish
it. THIS MISSION IS INCOMPLETE. There are no guards, the architecture is only
partially done.

If anybody wants to take this and create a real mission out of it feel free. I'm
sick of it and don't want to see it anymore. If you're interested in my ideas let
me know (hinted at in the mission briefing above).
