Description             : An older part of the city near the docks, your map is out of
			  date having been scrounged out of the city museum. Normally
			  you wouldn't be able to get into this part of the city as it
			  is usually heavily guarded, but the keepers have a job for you
			  to do, and have distracted the guards, getting you in to this 
			  place, and you might be able to do some extra thievery on the
			  side. Plus this is the only route you've been able to discover
			  that takes you to the abandoned Trickster's Chimney Gem mine.

Difficulty Settings     : Yes Normal/Hard/Expert 
                          (play through thief.exe not dromed.exe, difficulty set on some
                          objects causing areas not available if played through dromed.exe)
Equipment store		: Yes
Map / automap		: Yes / No
New graphics		: No

Multi language support  : No, English only

Briefing		: No

Known bugs		: sound problems on doors, and a sleeping body at the 
		          Slaughtered Crayman Inn won't wakeup (he's dead drunk)
                          you can't get all the treasure, a bug with ancient items
                          causes 4 invisible items to appear in treasure seeking database
                          but not in the game. so there's more than enough treasure in
                          each level.

Other info		: if an object is found in one place in normal, it may not be
                          found in the same place on hard or expert levels. don't waste
                          rope arrows on expert there is just enough to do the level.
                          The bank objective is not available on normal so don't try
                          to find a way in as there is nothing in there on normal level.
                          If the level is too dark, boost the gamma on the monitor.
                          the level was built on a pII 333mhz pc so if your machine is
                          less it might be a bit jerky in some parts, specially parts
                          with fire polygons.

Base                    : None
Build Time              : About 3 weeks (caused by adding enviromental sounds and testing)

                          the training level, the next levels will follow this level,
                          when i've built them.

* Copyright *

As far as I understand from the looking glass web site, levels made with dromed using
the dark engine, reguardless of whoever made them, the copyright belongs to Looking
Glass Studio's, but are not supported by looking glass if not made by them.
So this is being released as freeware, and as freeware, it's free to distribuate.

note: for those who get stuck there's a hints walkthrough in the books directory

version 1.1
added a few sounds, updated the tasks garrett has to do
added visible/invisible objectives, got the information how to do it from the informat level
added names for the keys
changed some in level information eg scrolls and books
blocked off the entrance to the keymasters house on normal level to stop ppl hacking door down
then wondering why the building has no treasure or guards in it

as fire arrows are for re-lighting torches in bank on hard and expert levels
additional build time 14 hours
