Penny Dreadful is a new fan mission series dealing with the exploits and misfortunes of Gerald Foxley, lowlife and common opportunist. To stick with the theme of lurid and disreputable pulp literature, I plan these missions to be nasty, brutish and short. I will work on them when I get burned out with the campaign, or after we finish it.

[CENTER]The Grail of Regrets[/CENTER]

"A few days ago, I received note from a man by the name of Grimy Morgan. I have bought the odd trinket from him before - he is one among the hundreds of workers labouring to keep Bridgeport's electricity supply going, and his kind always finds the most unusual things...

Morgan rigs water arrows in his underground lair, and occasionally, he is able to palm the odd piece of wind-up machinery when his superiors aren't looking... and most aren't looking too hard. This time though, he promised something more, a passage he'd discovered below the power junction he works in.

Morgan hasn't contacted me again, and I am starting to think he may be looking for other offers, or thinking of getting his hands on whatever's there on his own. So much for gratitude...

Whatever this is, he should have learned to keep his mouth shut. My name shall not be Gerald Foxley if I cannot claw my share from his hands - the only question is how much punishment he is prepared to take before paying up...

Notes:
* There are usually multiple ways to reach your targets - although some are less obvious than others.
* There are no lockpicks in this mission, as Foxley can't use them; also, he is no master thief when it comes to stealth - be careful!

Special thanks: to my testers, Bikerdude, skacky, TylerVocal, nbohr1more, Springheel and Premier, for detailed and thorough feedback. Springheel for the custom GUI, loading screen, and much appreciated criticism. Bikerdude for several performance and aesthetic fixes. All mistakes remaining are mine.

...and if you have enjoyed The Grail of Regrets, make sure to try the sequel, (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144143) All the Way Up, where Gerald soon learns that his fortunes are even more short-lived than he could suspect.

I had the chance to beta-test it and this is an absolutely amazing mission. :D

Only 40, did you explore everywhere, up and down. Melan has a habit of hiding loot in seemingly hard to reach places..

Usually TDM mission have small maps, so i´m not suprised that it took onlty that time to finish the mission. I remember that most of the TDM mission i played didn´t take more than half hour and some of them no more than 15 minutes.

Looking foward to play this one tonight
