The Motley Crew
Portmore is a typical city of Eighteenth century England. It is a town of beggars and thieves, but also corrupt officials and greedy aristocrats. Dutch Feathers and his band of unlikely miscreants are about to embark on a robbery. Terence Whiner is a skilled picklock but a total coward, Molly a local harlot who's getting on in years, Skamp Coney who hero worships Dutch and Clob a giant simpleton. If they pull this robbery off they will be admitted into a shadowy thieves guild and finally be 'professional.' Unfortunately not everything goes to plan......Meanwhile, the fat Mayor Ledwin has an unexpected visit from the cruel High Lord Inquisitor, who is determined to root out the corruption in the town.Our heroes are soon caught between the Law and the Thieves Guild, and running for their lives, but will they prevail?
