Yep. I'll find it after church. Meanwhile, here's a link to one of Lytha's SpeedThief runs:

Here's a summary of her achievement:

TRAI Time: 00:02:42
BAFF Time: 00:01:32
CRAG Time: 00:06:57
BONE Time: 00:04:38
ASSN Time: 00:07:32
THVG Time: 00:32:12
SWRD Time: 00:06:25
HAUN Time: 00:09:25
MAGE Time: 00:47:55
LOST Time: 00:09:59
SONG Time: 00:14:47
UNDR Time: 00:04:21
RTRN Time: 00:10:40
ESCP Time: 00:04:46
BEDF Time: 00:06:40
MAWC Time: 00:13:07

TOTALS
Time: 03:05:46
Loot: 7661
Damages dealt: 425
Damages taken: 67

BTW: Excellent work, Luthien, but this'll give you a further goal. ;) You've beaten her benchmark on three (TRAI, THVG, MAGE). Though, strictly speaking, I don't know whether these are her best SpeedThief times....

Oh goody. I tried running a search but came up empty-handed... *bookmarks thread for future reference*

Pretty bad ass. But I think Lytha did better.

OK, here's Ace's SpeedBafford thread:

Secluded Memory and TK were able to do BAFF in 42 seconds.

You're right. I noticed that too, but ran out of time for the reason mentioned above. Thanks for updating the figures.

Incidentally, one of the challenges that offered a lot of fun before Thief Gold was released was to finish TDP in under two hours:

Cheerful things to do until TG arrives here... Finishing the game as fast as possible

I can hardly believe anyone can finish Bafford's in under one minute... :eek:

I mean, I finished Bafford's in nine minutes once and thought I was the king of the world. I was playing Hard, but still... Bafford's in under one minute *faints*

Total Absent-minded Professor Syndrome™. I click spatially, and from time to time I miss. ;)

My best time to date with thieve's guild is 1 min 6 seconds, and by the time I reached the throne room, I had only 3 health points left. I seriously doubt anyone can complete the Guild in less than 20 minutes though - potions et al. That's a seriously long level.:eek:

Yep, I'm sure she did better. She wrote something about having completed thief in less that two hours, but I can't remember if it was thief or thief gold.

Well, it possible if you know how: Walk in through the front gate. There is a switch on the right side of the entrance (I didn't find it until I played Bafford's the hundredth time or so :-) Or you can press the button inside the gate from outside.
