Title: The Rift Description: Break into Lord Van Brachenstien's Mansion and steal his valuable jewel encrusted Scepter. A TDM Vertical Contest Mission. Author: by Baddcog Required TDM Version: 1.02 Notes: Thanks to Xarg, nbohr1more, Bikerdude and Midnight for beta testing. Things are getting a little tense in the City. Night patrols everywhere, the Mayor is out to 'clean it up', pressured by the rich who put him in power. Hard to make a living in times like these so I decided to try an out of town venture. There's a small mining town clear of the menace of the City Watch. I thought it would be a good place to hide and pick a few pockets. Boy was I wrong. Seems the miner's have had a bad time lately, earthquakes, cave-ins, not much coming out of there the last few weeks, and what has has gone straight to the top. Literally. Lord Van Brachenstien who owns the gem mines lives atop a nearby mountain in a town called 'Hilltop', my current target. I've secured a room in a quite inn and have listened to tales about the Lord in the pub, tonight I make my move. Rumor has it the Lord has a jewel encrusted scepter, maybe not valuable enough to quit my day job, but certianly enough to pay the rent until things cool off. And nobody will be the wiser once I pawn it off in the City. I don't think I'll have much to worry about up here, the people seem fairly dim and the guards can't be much brighter, should be an easy take.
