Hello everyone,

The story :
Garrett looks for someone who wants to testify against him about a robbery. Garrett must make sure that witness won't speak to anyone. It's a direct sequel to "Vol de nuit" and "Chasse a l'homme", from the "15 days" campaign.

At first it was a project I had with TheHardyBoyz, a young french fm author, a teamwork on a mission to help him with his campaign "the 15 days". Unfortunately, due to several issues and trouble, the mission was blocked for 2 years.

Meanwhile, I worked on my Rocksbourg series waiting for things to evolve. Once my latest mission was done, and with THBz's approval, I decided to finish this mission. Overall, even if the mission was started 2 years ago, I think I spent a little less than 2 months working on it, and I must have done around 90% of it. Therefore it's a quickie, it's far from being perfect, it's just a birthday gift for this special day.

If you know my works it might surprise you, there isn't a single custom ressource in this fm, everything is from the original game. Except for the easter egg. Yep, there is one easter egg. Hint : Think high.


Attention : It's easy to climb on the city roofs. However, it may create crashes and bugs because too many things would be in sight. Therefore, once you're up there try not to have global views. Whatever I do I just keep hitting dromed's limits...

Enjoy taffers, and happy birthday
Now back to Rocksbourg 4...

[Tannar]

Wow, a new Drk mission. Wonderful news! Thank you Drk!

Now back to Rocksbourg 4...

Even better news!

[bikerdude]

Broken Arts and myself tested this mission and let me tell you, its a veritabl;e treat...!!! and there is a special easter egg surprise for anyone who is inquisitive as I was...

I tested it in both vanilla and with EP1/NTEX installed and it runs fine, I managed to find 4342 loot on hard, so I would like to see if anyone can beat that

Sounds like a challenge...

[SneakyJack]

Wow, this came out of nowhere!

Its a good day when you get a new mission from DrK and a comment about the fourth part of his best series.

[bikerdude]

Sounds like a challenge...

Actually, I want to bloody know where the remaining sizeable amount of loot is... coz, DrK wouldn't tell me....

Any chance of seeing an English translation for parts 1 & 2, Vol de Nuit and Chasse A L'Homme? If someone could rough out the translations for them, I'd be glad to put them together & release the bi-lingual versions.

THBz was supposed to work on it, but it looks like it was never finished. If someone can do it it would be cool, I'm too lazy to do it.
There isn't much text to translate anyway.

I'm thoroughly enjoying exploring this! Not so little at all with lots of nooks and crannies to poke into. I THINK I found the Easter Egg. Maybe. What a cool tribute to TDP! Nicely done! On to more exploring.

Glad to see you like it
Trust me, you'll know when you'll find the easter egg. Otherwise, there are many references to TDP.

great mission

[MrMunkeepants]

I found the Easter Egg! or should I call it a "November Egg?"
I haven't figured out what to leave at the scene of the crime to incriminate Quinne - none of the keys do it, and dropping the diary just un-checks that objective. hints, please?

this is a small map, but with so many twists and turns, it feel much larger - in fact, I got lost a couple of times, only to realize (after searching around for a while) that I was in the right place anyway!

[DrK]

Did you enter the sewerman's workshop ?
There is Quince's tool in it, this is what you drop at the crime scene. And there is the evidence against Garrett in a toolbox too.

Cool, you found the birthday egg then

Yeah I loved all the little nooks I could hide in, it was awesome, but the easter egg, that was something special, and when I found I could stop laughing...

[MrMunkeepants]

thank you DrK, I hadn't even picked it up. I'm so used to it being junk that I ignored it entirely - that'll teach me!

[Nightwalker]

Where's the key to the sewerman's workshop? I have a sewer key but that doesn't open it.

on his belt - you need the sewer key which will open a sewer cover and you should be able to figure out the rest.

Thanks, DrK Downloading NOW.

I found 4372! I'd sure like to know where the rest is.

Excellent mission, and I loved the easter egg!

[pavlovscat]

Hrmph. I only found 3687. I'm slacking, or maybe it's too far past my bedtime. I'm definitely going to play this one again...many times! It's like a mini Rocksbourg 1 with the maze-like feeling in the streets.

Thanks, DrK!!
