Business has never been so crazy good since this latest time. My last robberies have made me richer
than expected. The rent is paid and due to my investments, I think it's safe to say it shall remain so for a long time.
Maybe the end of my career is nigh? But I couldn't decide to stop before doing a job that has recently emerged.
Recently, I have spent a little time in a local tavern, having a drink to relax after exhausting jobs. Something led me
to keep an eye on a strange man who has been in wait for someone to meet him at the same place. I don't know much about
that guy. He seems to be a well-known beast hunter in the city... and he looks to have a funny appetite for keeping
souvenirs belonging to each of his targets. A bit like me, although it's more fun to have wealth in my case....

Description:
"Business has never been so crazy good since this latest time. My last robberies have made me richer
than expected. The rent is paid and due to my investments, I think it's safe to say it shall remain so for a long time.
Maybe the end of my career is nigh? But I couldn't decide to stop before doing a job that has recently emerged.
Recently, I have spent a little time in a local tavern, having a drink to relax after exhausting jobs. Something led me
to keep an eye on a strange man who has been in wait for someone to meet him at the same place. I don't know much about
that guy. He seems to be a well-known beast hunter in the city... and he looks to have a funny appetite for keeping
souvenirs belonging to each of his targets. A bit like me, although it's more fun to have wealth in my case.
For days, I could only make little spying runs, but eventually, I could see what he was expecting. A weird guy hidden
under a cloak gave him a chest in exchange for coins. I don't know what this chest contained. But the man really looked
happy to receive it. Who knows - maybe it's time for a new trick.
This hunter won't be an easy target, however. In fact, he would kill me without any pain if he sees any part of me.
He also looks to have made a good profit with his job and is supposed to be the owner of a house outside the walls of this
city, protected by guards and according to rumors, his own traps to avoid an intrusion.
The fact I have absolutely no information and that my only goal is a chest for which I don't know what is inside, makes this
mission risky. I hope I won't be disappointed. At worst, it would have been the occasion to wonder if it was time to
retire."

=============================================================
* Notes *
New Dark 1.23+ is required. FMSel is more than strongly recommended.
- This mission is a partial randomization experience. New games may not look like the previous one, so don't worry if you learn that some spoilers or hints from other players don't work. You could although have some similar situations to other players but not exactly the same.
- Difficulties and pickable doors will completely depend on your luck. If the mission seems to be a bit too hard, have no hesitation to restart the mission. Maybe the dice will be more friendly with you?
- New Mantling is recommended but not necessary
- Higher difficulty means less starting gear, less money in the loadout store, less equipment to be found, a higher loot goal and more opponents.
- Loot and guards amount and position may also change with each new game.
- Some doors may be pickable in some games and sometimes not. It is not a bug, just the way it works. You may find another way or the key.
- A few readables are random and may help you to succeed on your mission. Don't miss them!

=============================================================
* Loading Information *
Runs from FMSel. Leave the file ZIPPED - DO NOT UNZIP this file, but put the whole zip-file
into whatever folder/directory you want to on your hard drive, then in FMSel setup, point to
this folder/directory, and the mission should show up in the FMSel main screen.
Extract only the "Scripts" Zip in your main T2 Directory with NO sub-directories or the mission will be worse than a nightmare.
For Darkloader users : you don't need the Scripts ZIP, just load the mission zip with it and enjoy the game!
