Sample EZScript mission

[BentonGrey]

So, ladies and gentlemen, I was in a conversation in the Shack with two talented individuals who were remarking that EZScript didn't seem worth learning.  I replied that it was actually incredibly simple and managable these days, thanks to the editor.  To prove the point I whipped up the following sample mission in about five minutes.  This calls for several characters by name, and assuming that they exist in exactly that spelling, this little mission will work perfectly, thanks to the brilliance of M25.  If you don't have those characters exactly, you can always replace the specific names with "Hero1" or the appropriate generic descriptor.  In about ten minutes you can put together the structure for a simple, linear mission of significant length with almost no effort.  Writing the dialog is the only hard part left, as long as you don't try and get clever.
