==================================================================================================
* Briefing *
I was out enjoying a few drinks at my local tavern when I overheard a few rowdy drunks chattering about their new boss, Lord Strumple.
Seems he's turned his manor into a casino hotel to help make ends meet. I couldn't care less about gambling, but gambling means coin, valuable trinkets and
drunk nobles too tipsy to know what's missing.

Aside from the usual, Lady Strumple owns a particular necklace that she never appears in public without. It's expensive, and every fence I know wants it.
Before heading home, I managed to lift a key from one of the drunks. Looks like it'll get me inside. Sounds simple enough. Tonight's the night.

==================================================================================================
* NOTES *
- This mission is 1.28 ONLY, playing on ANY previous versions will NOT work!
- This is a direct sequel to my debut mission "The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living", I would recommend playing that one first to get the full experience.
- 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 2nd Thief Fan Mission, which I've made for the End of Year Speedbuild. It's a little more contained than my first mission, but I hope you enjoy it!
- Thank you for playing!
