info NOTES:     Originally for Komag's teeny-space contest #4 - and not expanded past those dimensions - or beta-tested - consider mostly some sort of demo of something or rather (stupid dancing people? :p). I've never enabled eax until this time (the sound card I'd always played thief with made it all messy & it sounds pretty weird on my new one too) - so excuse me if that bit sounds odd.

*spoilers* or tidits

- Nameless_Voice's chimes are loot
- The goblets that highlight, but you can't pick up do have their purpose - try finding something to "use" on them
- None of the regularly-loot objects that you can't pick up count toward the loot amount - all loot is obtainable
- Later... if you turn the victrola back on - don't fret that, a frob again won't turn it off... just bash it with something

Briefing

"The city has been overcome by what everyone is calling the 'Red Death.' The disease strikes even the most healthy suddenly, and death is swift. The streets are littered with dead bodies, and everyone is too afraid to even take care of the mess. All the nobility of the city have decided to hole themselves up in the estate of their Lord, Prince Prospero... all the nobility who make it across town before being struck ill, that is. Fortunately, many don't make it to the Prince's castle, and their purses have just been lying around waiting for a... good citizen... to come along and take care of them. I even got myself an invitation...

'Lord Frobenbauble,

You are cordially invited by Prince Prospero himself to a grand gala this evening at his estate. Within shall be merriment like no other, and without will be this 'Red Death.' Do be assured that no contagion will breach these walls and to this end, the Prince requests that all arrive well before midnight as the gates will be securely sealed by this time.
As always, let the peasants deal with these dark times. Come, drink, eat, be merry and safe from this pestilence.

Prince Prospero'

I'm definitely no noble, and they won't go letting me in the front gates, but I'll find my way in before midnight. Merry, drunk nobles -- just sounds like my kind of party. I think I'll masquerade as... a thief."

This is a tiny but cool mission based on Edgar Allen Poe's famous story. While a terrible plague ravages the City, Prince Prospero and some of his noble friends have holed themselves up and have organised a masquerade ball while they wait for the sickness to run its course. Garrett sneaks wearing a thief masquerade costume and commences looting....
