[THIEF ANNIVERSARY CONTEST] - THE HOMELESS DUDE My run through the Thief
Anniversay Contest had come to ‘The Homeless Dude’. It was undoubtedly the shortest
entry so far, but not the worst by a long shot. My objectives read as
follows: steal a weapon from the store, aquire 1,000 in loot, and obtain the
Serpentile Torc. I started in the streets
close to the store. I could reach the blackjack by standing on top of the
lamppost base timing the guard’s patrol. The first real challenge came in the
sewers, when needing to pass two stationary spiders. Most players know that
spiders see with their rear ends, so the exiting tunnel was well-covered by
one of the critters. I found one way to stick to the shadows without causing
any alerts (left image below). I hopped across the lit gap and landed
silently on the sloped piping foundation. From here I could creep along the
path as shown, without getting spotted. The side of the tunnel closest to the
spider was dark all across (right image below). The rest was standard
Ghosting. Dodged the patrolling archer when he made his turn, lifting his
purse in the process. The guard in the store basement had a short, but
annoying route. I had to enter the bedroom to get the key, unlock the front
door upstairs, then come back down to replace the key (and pick the safe). A
little tedious, but all in a day’s work. Unfortunately, picking the
door to the house across the street alerted the thief inside. The guard also
commented unless I waited for him to move away, but the thief’s mumbling
could not be avoided. Supreme busted there I’m afraid. The thief further
commented on opening the bedroom door, and again when picking the footlocker
with the torc. The guard in the streets also heard this, although I can’t
imagine how. A short mission, but with several fun and challenging
situations. Oh and the mission
wouldn’t end after taking the Serpentile Torc. Something is messed up with
the objectives, so I just ctrl+shift+alt+ended it to get the stats. Statistics: Time: 17:57 Loot: 1223 out of 1223 Pickpockets: 1 out of 3 Locks Picked: 3 Damage Dealt: 0 Damage
Taken: 0 Consumables: None Ghost: Success! Perfect Thief: Success! Supreme Thief: Failed! Perfect Supreme Thief:
Failed! Notes: -
The thief in the house across the
street from the store commented on me picking the front door, opening the
bedroom door and picking the bedroom footlocker. The latter was also
commented on by the guard patrolling the streets. Supreme busts. |
