Nice mission, wouldn't want to ghost it, though. The teleporting at the beginning was a bit confusing. Is there any explanation for that?
The architecture is quite impressive, I particularly like those plants surrounded by stairs.
The mission has some funny moments, like
[spoiler]when you whack a servant and lift him up it says "what did he ever do to you?" :laff:
or the book that goes "blah blah blah" when you reach page 3.
[/spoiler]
I had quite a unique experience in this one (could have happened in any other mission really, but anyway): I got scared by a female servant! Not the other way around (although that happened shortly after): I was trying all my keys at a lock, then turned around to look for another door, and there she was walking right into me. I nearly threw my mouse away.
After sucessfully going through the horror that was The Haunted Cathedral you'd think nothing could scare me that easily :o

Can somebody help me please :sweat:
[SPOILER]I'm trying to get in through a window near the maintenance shed. Its up high above the barrel. I've tried roping the window surround, rope too close to wall to climb; I've also tried getting more boxes and stack my way up there but I've only found a few extra ones and this does not seem enough. I know something is in that area coz I can see a little ladder going down in the far left corner. [/SPOILER]
I've done most of the rest of the mission and thoroughly enjoyed it but I'm snagged on this problem. :nono:
Anyone been in there? :)

I can't decide if I like this mission or not. I have played so many fan missions and I can't remember when I've seen so many locked doors and keys! Every single door is locked and I have to thumb through my profuse list of keys just to find the right one. I feel like a damn janitor through this one and it has worn me haggard tonight. It started out pretty well but I think I will just find a place to sit down in a dark carpeted hallway and crawl into to the fetal postion and count my keys until tomorrow night and try again.

Thanks nil8hate, I was doing that to a degree but I just need to double my efforts I guess :)

there's another way into this building (bonus objective)
[SPOILER]by teleporting: you start in this little room outside of the mainbuilding, that you reach from the platform outside of the east tower in the 3rd floor. There you can frob the light switch and you will be teleportet to another room, where you can frob the light switch again etc. The second time I had to try it several times before I got finally in the last room[/SPOILER]

Dafyd, I know what you mean. I've been stuck in missions like that before and it bummed me out.
Like Equilibrium. The first couple times worked me. Didn't play it for quite awhile, went back and everything worked out, finished the mission. It's now a fav.

This was a very good mission, even though there were just a few tile floors too many.
I also found the use of teleportation in certain areas to be somewhat strange, but I guess it was to get the most out of the contest space - this mission certainly seemed to biggest of them all, almost the size of a normal FM. Congratulations to the author for such good use of space.
The architecture was good, but there was no area that really stood out, nothing that made me stop and think 'Wow!'
I especially liked the part on the top floor where [spoider]the woman would come out of the master bedroom, but the man wouldn't. So, I waited for the woman to come out, and caught the door so that she wouldn't lock it, and sneaked in. Of course, the man did evenually decide to come out, and was probably on a delayed patrol all along, but it was still fun doing it this way.[/spoiler]
There were a few too many keys, I guess, but once you found the Master Key, everything was fine.
