Synopsis

You are hired to rob a Builder Church. This church has recently been attracting a lot of attention, and someone is willing to pay you a fair sum to do something about it.

(This map was the second "alpha release" of The Dark Mod, and has been updated for TDM 1.01. In ToSL, you are hired to rob a Builder Church. This church has recently been attracting a lot of attention, and someone is willing to pay you a fair sum to do something about it.)

Series

The FM is the second installment of TDM's short official mini-campaign, following the first mission, A New Job.

Playing the Training Mission before A New Job and The Tears of Saint Lucia is highly recommended, but not necessary.

Trivia

The current iteration of this mission is based on reworking one of the initial demos for The Dark Mod (from its earliest days of playability) - the eponymous The Tears of Saint Lucia.

The mission was reworked one last time in early 2017 to become part of the official TDM introductory campaign (hence it is now "Mission 2", plus the mission's subtitle).
