Let Sleeping Thieves Lie




A couple of days ago I was hired for an unusual job.
I was asked to assasinate the leader of the Unseen
thieves guild jack Blackthorn. People have been known to
say he is the devil himself

I don't usually take assasin missions but ever since I refused to
join the Unseen thieves guild, Jack Blackthorn has wanted me dead.
So i took the oppertunity to eliminate the threat.The mission went
well and I managed to put a broadhead Through Blackthorns black heart.

yesterday I was at the Builder's Arms and overheard a conversation.
Jack Blackthorn had returned from the dead to take revenge on the person who
killed him. His grave was found open with nothing inside.

This doesn't sound good for me. I'm going to infiltrate
The Unseen thieves guild in the sewers and see just what's going on.

While the city sleeps I might aswell take the oppertunity to make some profit. Word on the street is that the local church has a valueble artefact called the Dagger of St. Dunstan. That should fetch a nice price.


I have a bad feeling about this. I don't like dealing with the undead. it's best to let sleeping thieves lie.

Thanks to anyone who replied to any of my questions in the TDM editors guild. Thanks for humoring a noob.

And last but definitely not least thanks to the TDM team for countless hours of fun over the last two years and for many more I'm sure to come.

[nbohr1more]

[McPhisto2051]

Congrats for this nice FM.

i hope in the release is enough loot to be found or im better in finding it ^^

btw plz dont forget my number in the Name .

[nbohr1more]

You should probably post your mission Briefing or a description in the main post Sir Taffsalot. That will provide a better template for the Mission download page...

[PranQster]

I like it. This is a fun mission.One strange thing I noticed this time (since beta testing):

Spoiler

I didn't get credit for finding Jack Blackthorn in the thieves den. I had played it through during beta testing and this time I just cruised through. What triggers that objective? Because whatever it was, I skipped it somehow. Was it a readable next to the necronomicon? I just grabbed the book and the loot in that room and went on my way.

[Bikerdude]

@Praq, you have to read the diary on the table

[SiyahParsomen]

Congrats comrades.

I'll definitely check it out this weekend.

[Bikerdude]

@SirTaf - I also suggest you insert the loading screen image in the main post (see my mission threads), and if you want to you could post a poll like some of use have been doing, as its a useful guide on what people think and where/how you can improve.

[Glyph Seeker]

Congrats. =-3

[Chiron]

Good and fun mission so far. A bit too easy when it comes to the guards/thugs though.

One question:

Spoiler

How do I get into the graveyard / How do I destroy Necornomicon?

You need to get access to the tavern..
You need to throw the book against a holy symbol.

[nbohr1more]

Adding this to the wiki and removed the entry from the upcoming missions wiki.

Can we put you down for another?

[Sir Taffsalot]

Thanks Nbohr!Can you put Biker down as an auther as well? This FM wouldn't have turned out the way it did without his help. He deserves credit aswell.

I already have an idea for my next FM and have been drawing maps on my lunch break. I think I have the DR bug. So yeah put me down for another 1. I have no idea when it might be ready though.

[AluminumHaste]

Hmmm

Spoiler

I rubbed and smacked that book all over the holy symbols in the church but nothing happened

BTW nbohr1mor screenshots incoming. I didn't do any brightening because this mission looks very washed out on my screen the ambient is set so high. Let me know if you need me to brighten them as I still have the originals.

Spoiler

is that the holy symbol hanging from the ceiling of the church? If you stand on the chandalier infront of it and throw it on to the face of the symbol it should go up in flames.

That seems a little too ridiculous to me, if it's a holy symbol then the entire thing is a holy symbol not just 1 small part of it. I'll go back and finish up then thank you

yeah it shouldn't matter where the book touches the symbol. Hmmm

[PPoe]

Congratulation on the release. Cant wait to play another mission from you=)

[Fieldmedic]

This is not a halloween contest entry, no?

Don't have time to play right now but congratulations on the release!

[nbohr1more]

Not a contest entry because it was worked on for a loooong time. But if you and the others wouldn't mind bending the rules I would be glad to add this to the roster
