Patently Dangerous

Introduction
Nobody said hypocrisy didn’t have its uses. The Inventor’s Guild, always so secretive about its own inventions, isn’t beyond a little espionage when it comes to the inventions of others. They’ve hired me to steal the design notes from a young man named Soren Rikk, just on the outskirts of the Highlands Ward. He’s reputed to have made a huge discovery in a field the Inventors have some interest in. It should be an easy job. Soren isn’t known to be a dangerous person.

Requires: Quoth

Introduction
Originally designed for the 768 x 768 Vertical Map Competition held in ’07, Skinny Norris is a large tower-like level for Quoth using an unusual mix of themes to create the playing field against a large variety of enemies. You must travel high and low in search of a way out of there, but at least you get the choice between the puzzles-path or traps-path. Isn’t that nice of them?

The map title is a reference to the infamous game with the same name and sets itself up by following a really silly storyline.

The place is filled with many grunts from the standard shotgunners to the Quoth rocketlaunchers, that are just waiting to take you down.

The Tower

Introduction
The Tower, by Lady Rowena, is a mission made for the Thief 10th Anniversary Contest. It has come to Garrett’s knowledge that Lord Witherdale has recently aquired a small but highly valuable collection of ancient jewels, but the manor is very well guarded. The only other accessable way to retrieve them would be through the nearby tower, which connects to the back of manor. An old guardian still lives within the tower, but that shouldn’t be too difficult to handle. It is however an inconvience that the tower will soon be under renovation, so there isn’t much time left.
