Mission
2 – Kill The Religion: The City
I see a Wall of Light, which is a wall of electricity that will disintegrate
anything that walks in front of it. I instead go the other way and find
two guys just walking about. I don’t know why they are here when the City
Watch is just a few paces away. I point my heart at one of the men and it
says he reports his friends to the Lord Regent.
I make my way into a house and find Granny Rags, an old woman who has her house
suddenly attacked by the Bottle Neck Gang. She says if I help her, she’ll
give me something, so I place a springwire trap on the ground then open
the door. It kills one, and then I quickly make short work of the others
with my sword
Granny Rags gives me a bone charm, then asks if I can help her take care of the
street gang itself by poisoning their illegal elixir they make. I think
about it as I make my way through the city. I walk through the city
streets, avoid people, and end up accidentally saving a shopkeeper, who gives me
some good deals; even the heart agrees with me on that one. I further
explore the city and find two thugs having a disagreement with two other thugs
(they think one of them is stealing money from a City Watch corpse), with the group that was doing the accusing killing the two they accused. This city has gotten so disgustingly evil since I’ve
been gone. I decide to end the lives of
the two people remaining.
I make my way to a scientist’s house who has some rat poison I can steal to
poison the elixir supply of the street gang.
There are also questions about how the rat plague appeared, since most
rats seem to have started in the inner city instead of the docks.
Leaving the scientist’s house, The Blink power comes in handy when jumping around out of view, but I still take the time to enjoy the scenery and look for any possible wall I can mantle and climb over. I constantly look for other ways to walk, jump, fly, & yes, even fall.

I
make my way back to the Distillery. I am told that I should not enter,
and retract my steps. Luckily, I find that I can walk on the pipes above
and sneak past them all (no one ever looks up). I hear people
talk about someone who could move very fast and wears a mask; but I haven’t
been here yet, so I don’t know who they’re talking about. The Outsider
has given many people these powers before, but for what purpose? I
quickly find some secrets inside, steal many valuables, then search for the
elixir to poison. I finally do the deed then quietly escape without being
noticed.
I return to tell Granny Rags the news, and find she has built a totem to the
Outsider. The Outsider suddenly appears out of nowhere. Is he
following me everywhere and watching me non-stop? Is he tracking
everything I do to make sure I complete a task for him? In Thief, the
Trickster watched over Garrett for a while so he could get him to steal an
artifact for him (both creatures are enemies of the church and considered the
true evil by them, mind you) so I am suddenly worried he is keeping tabs on me
for a reason. But, he speaks so calmly it’s almost like he cares about
Granny Rags when he says she used to be very famous, so much so that many
people vied for her hand in marriage.
I have fun knocking out guards in the middle of the street, and then I
reprogram the 2nd Wall of Light and purposely cause a
commotion. Two guard runs toward me and are quickly vaporized.
Another guard looks at me and tosses a grenade, but it evaporates. He
walks slowly, then stops, slowly, then stops, slow, then stops. Hello,
you’ve seen 2 friends and a grenade vaporized; do you really want to come after
me? Finally, after his 3rd stop, he growls impatiently, draws
his sword, and runs directly at me in a rage. I watch his body explode
into ash. These guards are not very smart. Anyway, with the
street now mine, I make my way to the Overseer property.
