If you've already played this Thief-FM then consider: In this version you are NO thief but a UNN-soldier in search of a few missing researchers. There are neither water arrows nor rope arrows (sorry for that). And don't try to bag all the loot lying around... this is SS2 and there is no loot for you ;-). ********************************************************* Credits to: Hrothgar for his help, Rob Hicks für DromED deluxe and von.Eins for the translation of the Dromed-Tutorial into German as well as Shadowspawn for the new creatures. for new objects/mesh: Hrothgar, Ar-Zimrathon, pdackel, Schwaa, Nameless_Voice, von.Eins, Jonquilis, Dark Arrow, Targa, Eshaktaar, GORT and Rob Hicks. for new textures: Hrothgar, Targa, Yandros, Schwaa, Majic, I. Keränen and David Gurrea Hernandez Purah and Saturnine for their permission to use textures and objects from Calendra's Legacy and The 7th Crystal.
