Gamma is up to max for better viewing on your end, and like usual, I cut parts that, like loading screens after reloads, just waste time.

Foreword:
I know, most of you won't read those "boring, empty and useless" plot descriptions. I'm
one of your kind. But if you want to understand something, please, spend several minutes
to read following description. This also will help to complete second objective.
Also do not read files in "Doc" folder unless you want to get some hints & spoilers.
Thanks for your time.
Expect polycount around 300-500, sometimes 500-800.
I tried to make more sutable environment, but failed, sorry....

Title : Events in Highrock
Filename : Highrock.zip
Author : Pershin Sergey V. "mad god"
Contact info : pershin@softlab.ru
Date of release : May 22th, 2000
Version : 1.0
Description : "All the mess has began when I escaped from the City to the HighRock
town. City's major has organized a big round-up, all my hideout were revealed and I barely
escaped his guards. All my stuff remained there, but this is not important for now, because
I'm just mad of what was happened recently...
I met another thief in Highrock one night. He was almost catched by local guard when I black-
jacked the second and such saved thief's freedom. His name was Switcher. He was very grateful
and offered his services. Soon I got the rich information about locals nobles and goldbags.
Switcher became my friend. I liked that fellow. He was honest and straight-forward guy. Of
course all this made bad thief from him.
So I even rent some room in the southwest part of the town called River's End because there
the river that flows across the town leaves it under the Town Wall. The river called Tetis.
The life there was very slowly and calm. It was some sort of vacation from the dangerous and
nervous work in the City.
But soon all was ended unexpectedly. Switcher came to me with the strange request. He lost
the contact with his son Mike, who was a memeber of the Mage's Guild. And he was afraid that
there something happened, since before that Mike regulary visited him. He said that will pay
for this and has provided me with some information. Of course I could not refuse to him - he
loved his son very much and became a thief to support son's education. He told me about some mage's items which should be there and gave approximate location of some tomb where I can
get some valuable things. He told that he knows a person who will pay generously for those
stuff. I agreed.
So the Mages Guild was deserted, but not exactly. It was haunted and from several notes that
I have found I figured out that they were turned to undeads by some magical stone-artifact.
I even saw it - it was very attractive, it seems whispered "take me, I will show you a great
power" or something like that. Somehow I have not touched it and still ok. I think it is due
to Alexander's notes that I found in one of the watery caves. Alexander was one of the mages
in there and he has understood the danger but have not managed to warn the others.
