Description             : "In blood ye were born, and in blood so shall ye die, 
                          for blood is the way of the world.  It is life, sprung 
                          forth from the Master's veins, so honor, ye, the blood 
                          above all else."				-The Book of Dagusha
                          It seems word of my new accommodations has been getting around. 
                          Someone was waiting for me there the other night, and the usual 
                          ace up my sleeve didn't have the desired effect. The 
                          other "guests" here at least had some useful information. 
                          It seems I've become a tenant of a new group of fanatics 
                          calling themselves the Brotherhood of the Raven, and 
                          if what I hear is true, I could end up liking these 
                          guys even less than the Mechanists.  Word has it we'll 
                          all be thrown into a huge arena and made to fight to 
                          the death before a thousand spectators.  Needless to 
                          say, I don't plan on being around for the opening ceremonies. 
                          I must be some distance from the city, since no one 
                          seems to know who I am around here, which is good. 
                          That guard with the key walks a little too close to 
                          the cell for his own good, I'd better relieve him of 
                          it before something evil befalls him, and make my exit 
                          while I'm at it.  But given the circumstances, my task 
                          isn't as simple as merely escaping.  The Hammerites 
                          only wanted me in prison, and the Mechanists only wanted 
                          me dead, but this "Brotherhood" wants to make sport 
                          out of me, and worse, wants to make money from it. 
                          I'll need to find out who did this to me, and then 
                          make them regret it.  No one makes a patsy out of me.

* The Builder would like to thank the following *

Extra special thanks goes out to Apache for his many months of (sometimes reluctant)
mentoring on this and the many scrapped projects before it.  Bow ye down low and 
give him homage!

Loud chants of "You da MAN!" to Lazarus for doing the kick-ass briefing 
and Loanstar as the voice of Garrett.

Special thanks go out to anyone who's ever written a tutorial, made a demo, or 
replied to my (I'm sure) annoying newbie posts on TTLG.  You know who you are;)

Thanks also to all those who volunteered to beta test the mission for me.

And of course to LGS and the Thief/Thief 2 team for creating the first and only 
video game that's ever held and continues to hold not only my interest but my 
obsession for over a hear now.  Bring on CoSaS, T2X, and Thief 3!
