* Briefing *
It's been a few weeks since my last heist, the Strumple job. The pay was good, but not good enough. Worse still, Strumple's blown his top over his hotel being picked clean. Clearly he's got friends in high places, as he's managed to initiate a curfew over this side of town. 
I've got a job to do, but tonight's curfew is going to make this difficult. I've been informed by one of my trusted associates that a fat nobleman, one Sir Leopold has somehow managed to procure a fine gemstone bigger than anything I've ever come across before.
Don't know much about Sir Leopold, but my associate tells me he's fairly humble as far as rich nobles go. I guess he won't mind if I took that gem for myself, then. My ears perked up when I was given his address. He lives close to a church that I've had my eye on for a while now. 
A few of my fences have mentioned that the local priest is in possession of a fine tome. I'm not much into books unless they're valuable. Fortunately for me, this one happens to be plated in solid gold... Tonight, I'll make it mine.
I've hunkered down in the sewer and locked myself in a damp little room for the time being. It reeks of old burrick, but it's better than trying to cross into this side of town above ground. I'm not familiar with these sewers, but every rotten old place underground has an exit.
Once I find a way out, I'll have to stay clear of the guards. The locals'll be on edge as well due to the curfew, so I have to be careful.
I have a good feeling about this. Tonight's the night.

* NOTES *
- This mission is 1.28 ONLY, playing on ANY previous versions will NOT work!
- Your equipment is in your starting room. Make sure you take everything you think you'll need!
- For the full experience, I recommend playing my previous two missions, The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living and The Turn Of A Friendly Card
- This mission disables texture filtering by default for a chunky, retro look. If you aren't a fan, please open up FM.cfg in this FMs folder and delete the line "tex_filter_mode 0"
- This is my 3rd Fan Mission, and my first "city" style mission, I really hope you enjoy it!
- Thank you for playing!
