I have no skill for making .avis, so here's the textual mission briefing
for The Odium:
<insert world-weary Garrett-voice here>
Tonight I have something ambitious planned. I've learned that a religious
cult called "The Order of the Inverted Hammer" has recently acquired some of
the things I... appropriated... in times past. They've gotten hold of the
Mystic's Soul and Heart gems. Normally I wouldn't care, but I've been hearing
rumors lately that they're using them to access an item said to be beyond price.
This is plenty of incentive to get me trotting out there.
Their fortress is a place called "The Odium". It used to be a robber-baron's
keep years ago, and is situated at the top of a pass in the mountains some miles
east of town. It's a very defensible position, but was abandoned for years before
the Order settled there. The front gate is very well guarded, but a friend told
me of another way in - an old steam vent coming out of the machine room.
The Inverted Hammer are nasty guys - necromancers and murderers. They've been
known to do things that even I won't talk about. They're led by a man named
Trystich, a man said to be truly evil. Some speculate that he's a vampire,
others a demon - but nobody has ever seen him. Breaking into their fortress
is madness. But, anything for a buck... I once robbed a god. But
I never robbed the devil.
