Briefing

Being an independent thief in this city has always had its associated risks, but I've always managed to stay one step ahead of my rivals. That is, until I went to visit my fence after robbing Lord Torridge of his valuable gold chalice. The look on his face should have told me something was wrong, but before I could react, three heavies unfolded from the shadows and jumped me.

When I came to, cold rain was spattering my face. Tied up and thrown into a handcart, I was being taken outside the city, into the woods. I could hear two of the thugs chatting away. One of them was worried that their third companion would get all the glory for running the chalice back to their boss, but the other reassured him that bringing "the famous Garrett" in alive would be worth even more.

While they talked, I pretended to be unconscious, and managed to loosen the bonds around my wrists and ankles. The rain grew heavier; the canopy overhead grew thicker. We were deep in the woods when the thugs said they were almost back to their hideout. It was now or never. Throwing off the ropes, I leapt off the cart and darted into the trees. I could hear my captors shouting in futile rage behind me, but I managed to get away. Now I'm unarmed and alone in hostile territory, but I still have my wits about me.

Whoever did this is about to learn a valuable lesson - crossing Garrett is a bad idea...

message   A little confusing to navigate, but very dark, very creative
author:   PaganBeerNerd | April 26, 2023, 2:34 a.m.
This mission is very much a dark and stormy night kind of game where you must outwit and evade the people who tried to kill you, then slowly gather your resources and explore the strange woods you are lost in. There's a creepy temple with a nearly invisible demon-ghost-thing that will utterly wre...

message   Spooky forests? In my Thief game? It's more likely than you think
author:   Brodo Swaggins | Feb. 11, 2022, 4:52 p.m.
A contest winner, and deserves it; a great, professional caliber mission. Drenched in atmosphere. Jammed with custom content, from spectacular sound design to creepy new enemies, all wrapped in one of the best forests in any FM. Touches of clever humor lighten up the proceedings. And a terrific a...

Gra w tę FMkę była zaszczytem. CO ZA KLIMAT! Absolutny powiew świeżości! I choć kilka misji "leśnych" pogańską siłą rzeczy widzieliśmy, to tak klaustrofobicznego przeciskania się przez zarośla chyba jeszcze nie doświadczyłem. Prawdziwy labirynt, w którym nieraz się zgubiłem. Wspaniała atmosfera, ...

message   Moody forest mission flattened by contest constraints
author:   Melan | March 1, 2021, 4:21 p.m.
Thief is not well suited for building forest missions, and most previous attempts have created what seem to be forest-textured corridors with the odd cylindrical tree stuck in to liven things up. This FM is one of those which come close – but if you look behind the façade, the paths still look li...

message   Forest like a dungeon
author:   Mike | Feb. 2, 2021, 1:57 a.m.
After successful small robbing, Garrett was unexpectedly kidnapped by other thieves, but happily managed to escape and now he is in the middle of mysterious rainy forest filled with dangers and... with possibilities (especially, in version 1.2 which included all needed scripts). So begins his ano...

I'm taking Nicked's word for it that this is a <1,000,000 units, because it sure as hell doesn't feel like it. This mission is massive, and utterly fantastic. It sees you go from nothing to so many items scrolling your inventory becomes more of a pain, it has Garrett doing magic, Garrett doing ma...
