        The Three Missions expounded apon in this particular lumbering
        waltz-limp are as follows:

         Snatch And Grab - Old Comrades, Old Debts - Lord Alan's Basement
         (again in three parts for easy consumption)


   3 -> Lord Alan's Basement (AKA Basement2)
        By Andrea Aleotti

        The Macroscope:
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      A "Basement" - Bigger - more complex - more beautiful and MUCH
    more to offer than most maps.


        The Blow-By-Blow:
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      Hey, a basement is just a basement, right?? - *BUZZZ* - Wrong. - A
    misleading title for an immensely variant and colorful map. Although
    just a little convoluted in pathways this map offers everything from
    the tight dark and damp to the grandiose and breath taking - and well
    covering everything in between. You will get wet - you will get claus-
    tophobic and acrophobic. - You'll be mixed and perplexed - mazed in
    and phased out - but all the while you'll be enjoying it because the
    change of mood and atmosphere is so frequent that you'll recognize
    the rhythm - and know that there will likely be an unusual sup rise
    just around the next corner.

      You have a moment's reprise at the very start to enjoy the serene
    calmness of a garden at night before taking the plunge into adventure.

      Despite a few 'Oh-No' traps consisting of narrow vertical shafts
    that won't kill you - only trap you - This map is consistently enter-
    taining all the way through - Not enough guards for some players, but
    suspense is there nonetheless and it is manifested in many enjoyable
    forms.

      I completed this one in about 2 hrs 40 mins, but sadly couldn't
    locate the two secondary (optional) objectives. - Well worthy of a
    second run-through when I have more time.

     Summation:
     ~~~~~~~~~
     Extremely well constructed detailed and atmospheric and more than
   enough to keep you intrigued throughout. - I recommend this one very
   highly - Variety is the spice - and this one has it in spades.

     Thanks to the builder who put a massive amount of work into this
   to bring us a multi faceted adventure on a grand scale. - All My Best
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wishes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
