Fellow Tafferites & Tafferettes,

Over 5 years since Part 1 was released, at long last, I've finally finished the nearly-anticipated, partially-longed-for sequel!

Filefront has worked for me before, so I hope no one has problems getting it. Of course, I would very much appreciate anyone willing to host it, as it appears the thiefmissions site is not up to date.

Here is the link (approximately 85MB):
(http://www.filefront.com/15337303/JustFriendsP2.zip) http://www.filefront.com/15337303/JustFriendsP2.zip

While I prefer that players have already played Part 1 prior to playing Part 2, the plot of Part 1 can be summed up fairly quickly. So, if you haven't played Part 1, or if you'd like a quick refresher of Part 1):

You are a burglar named Burt, who has been forced into hiding because of a very high price on your head which even your former "colleagues" wish to claim. Somehow, a Lord Chauncy has discovered that you recently "acquired" a few valuable items from his family tomb, and is less than pleased by this. So, he has asked the local Lord, Lord Bile, to aid him in his search of you. Rumor has it that Lord Bile is ruthless, extremely wealthy (although no one seems to know how he has acquired all of his wealth), and has spared no expense to find you. As revealed in Part 1, Lord Bile has abducted a female prostitute named Janine because he was informed that you and she once had a "relationship" of sorts. Townspeople seem to know that your "relationship" with Janine was serious, but they also know that whenever asked about this relationship, you always insist (with a smirk) that you are "Just Friends". Part 1 ended with you gaining entrance to the sewers which you should be able to navigate to Lord Bile's estate where you intend to find and free Janine from the dungeons where she is almost certainly being ill-treated. So begins Part 2.

NOTES TO PLAYERS:
1. Please read the readables. They are important in your determination of which objectives you will want to complete or not (yes, I realize many will still not read them). There are 6-7 with more than a few pages. I did try to shorten them...really.
2. On Expert difficulty, there are 23 possible objectives. Darthslair was kind enough to design a custom objectives screen to accommodate all 23 (Thanks again, darthsLair!!) which I am using, BUT Theif 2 automatically reverts back to its original 18-line-max objective screen when the player completes the mission (immediately after the "Mission Complete" message) so that the "Menu/Continue/Stats" screen will appear. THEREFORE, just before the end of the missin, Burt will say, "I should check what I've done before I go". When you hear Burt say this, please check your objectives screen to see all of the objectives for the mission. This is important because if you played a certain style, a bonus objective will appear (completed) near the end, and if you don't check, you will never know about it.


I sincerely hope everyone has fun playing it! :)

Thanks everyone! :D

I just finished the songs today. They were the only things holding up release for over a month. But, today a snowstorm kept me from going to work, so I had some ever-elusive free time.

I hope you like the 2nd song, and the rest of the mission, too! :)
