The Story :

Note: This mission is part of the " L' Arsene's " and "Emilie Victor" series.

Panic in the city! L'Arsene, master thief of this town, who has defied
Garrett in the past, has escaped from prison! It's a really bad day to be a taffer:
patrols everywhere, curfew at sunset! It's time to leave here and
fast: L'Arsene has a quick and violent temper! The easiest way would be to flee
by boat but, regrettably, access to the port is closed because of the invasion
of the Korrigans, who appear to have arrived by sea.
The Korrigans....everybody speaks about them but few have actually seen them. What are they?
Who are they? They leave only chaos and pain in their wake. Garrett has
never met them and would like to keep it that way. All he wants is to get as far away as possible
from this city which has caused him so many problems. To leave as
quickly as possible, yes, but not before raiding the warehouses of the
Lord of the City, Sir De Loret and helping himself to the riches inside, which he learned of
from Emilie Victor (in a previous mission). The key to De Loret's
personal warehouse on his belt, Garrett sets out. 
However the booty which he will find there will be bulky and difficult to dispose of
while maintaining his usual low-profile. He's heard of a man called
Berlioz, a Fence, who lives in the northeast district of the
city. He must go find him to get rid of this cumbersome
booty. And if L'Arsene does not catch him in the meantime, maybe he will
have time to make a short visit to Sir Ashley's. Presently, his mansion 
contains an impressive collection of precious Mechanist objects which includes 
the famous Precursor Mask of K'ho.
And then? Then it will be necessary to find a way to leave the city!
And as if providence has heard him, Garrett receives a visit
from an old woman who gives him a strange message...

Technical advice: For PC with a processor lower than 1 ghz, restart system after installing the mission. I am terribly
sorry but the mission has a lag on small configurations.

Some gameplay hints:
- First try to complete the optional objectives before leaving by the northern sewers.
- Don't kill Berlioz, the Fence, (You also cannot knock him out! :-) because he is indispensable to your quest!) 
- Don't threaten or kill the civilians that you encounter in inns or on
the streets. If you leave them alone, they won't pose any threat to you.

L'histoire :

Note : Cette histoire est la suite de "L'Arsne" et d"Emilie Victor".


Branle bas de combat dans la ville ! L'Arsne, le maitre-voleur des lieux et qui a brav Garrett dans le pass, s'est chapp ! C'est dcidemment un mauvais jour pour un cambrioleur, des patrouilles partout, un couvre feu au coucher du soleil ! Il est temps de filer d'ici ! Et de plus, ce L'Arsne a la rancune violente et expditive. 
Le plus rapide serait de prendre la poudre d'escampette par bateau mais comble de malchance, l'accs au port est condamn suite  une invasion de Korrigans arrivs par les mers.
Les Korrigans, tout le monde en parle mais peu les ont vus. Que sont-ils ? Qui sont-ils ? Ils ne laissent que chaos et perdition sur leur passage.
Garrett ne les a jamais rencontr et tiens bien  ce que cela continue ainsi. Tout ce qu'il dsire c'est de partir loin de cette Cit qui ne lui a apport que trop de soucis.
Filer au plus vite, oui, mais non sans bifurquer avant vers les entrepts du Seigneur de la Ville, De Loret, ou du moins vers ses richesses, dont l'existence lui a t rvl par Emilie Victor. 
La clef de l'entrept personnel de De Loret en poche, Garrett dcide donc de se mettre en route vers ces trsors. 
Cependant le butin qu'il y trouvera ne sera pas des moindre et ne contribuera pas  aider  sa discrtion naturelle. Il a entendu parler d'un certain Berlioz,  receleur de son tat, qui vivrait quand le quartier nord-est de la ville. Aller le trouver et lui proposer cet encombrant magot contre une somme d'argent consquente s'avre indispensable.
Et si L'Arsne ne lui mets pas la main dessus d'ici-l, peut-tre aura-t-il le temps de s'offrir une petite visite chez les Ashley dont le manoir reoit aujourd'hui une impressionnante collection d'objets prcieux des Mchanistes, dont le fameux Masque de K'ho, faonn par les Prcurseurs.
Et puis ensuite ? Ensuite il faut trouver un moyen de quitter la ville !
Et comme si la providence l'entendait, Garrett reut alors la visite d'une trange femme porteuse d'un non moins trange message...

Conseils techniques : 
Pour les pc avec un processeur infrieur  1 ghz, redmarrer le pc aprs installation. Je suis vraiment dsole mais la mission souffre d'un ralentissement sur les petites configurations :-(

Petits conseils de jeu : 
- Essayez d'abord de remplir les objectifs facultatifs avant d'entrer dans le monde des Korrigans.
- Ne tuez pas Berlioz le receleur, il est indispensable  votre qute !
- Il est inutile d'assomer ou de tuer les civils que vous croisez dans les auberges ou dans les rues, si vous n'tes pas menaant ils ne seront d'aucun danger pour vous.
