I'm missing a key/ cog whatever. [SPOILER]I have found the one on the table and the one in Jackson's room. Where is the other?[/SPOILER]
Also I have opened the secret room with the big keyhole next to the statue but can find nothing of value. Wot am I missing?

Phillys,There's a pencil holder on Garibaldi's desk that frobs to open a safe ... For the missing gear key, poke around a little more past that big keyhole. There is stuff down there. IIRC a button or switch on a pillar.

I am well into this mission and have to echo someone elses thoughts that this mission does not feel like a small mission at all!! It feel pretty darn big! It is also very well constructed so far and I am having a great time with it. I don't know if anyone has hazarded any guesses about the author, but the atmosphere and the puzzles remind me an awful lot of Ominous Bequest....Possibly?
Whoever, did it....great job and thanks!

Would it be possible for someone who knows DromEd to load up this missions and post a couple of screenshots of the layout? I'm still having a hard time figuring out how all of that fits into the limits required by the contest.

1. How do I save the keeper's souls?
2. The secret in the basement [SPOILER]ie. the lever frobbed beneath the grille in the floor.[/SPOILER] What does it do?
3. On what table do I put thingy's ring? I can't remember where I picked up that scroll. :grr: :grr: :grr:
Thanx dudes.

Phillys,[spoiler]Saving the Keepers' souls. IIRC you'll need to put their skulls on the three pedestals and activate the machine. Then grab their skulls again. Trick with the skulls that I had was just dropping the skulls on the pedestals didn't work. You've got to use the skulls on the pedestal plates.
I'm thinking there's a gate or wall or something that opens when you pull the lever in the sewer beneath the grate in the cell floor. Going through that gets you to the body of the inhouse thief. And there's a small reward there high up on the wall.
I put the ring on the table right beside the light sleeper's bed. It may work elsewhere too but I didn't try that. As to which room. I'm having a little trouble remembering that. There's a guy sleeping there. The hallway has four doors. One's a loo. One you won't be able to open until the very end of the mission. The third one has just a bed in it. And the one with the sleeper. I think it's near the beginning of the mission just after you get upstairs.[/spoiler]Luck.

This author really has squeezed an amazing amount of playing area into the competition space. There isnt a single cubic unit which isnt productive. I wonder if the author built the mansion in leggo bricks before starting? I cant visualise it even with dromed!

I finished this mission, but I still need to find 10 loot and 1 secret.
Could somebody please post or pm a full list of secrets? Thanks :)

Secrets:
[SPOILER] 1. lever behind the broken table in the cell beside the spot where the mission starts.
2. Coin under the edge of a sofa in the first small sitting room you come to on your way up from the basement.
3. Out in the back garden, there's a lever behind a plant on the right, at the far end. It opens a panel in the end wall.
4. Move the boxes in the storeroom just down the hall from Friend Spinozza's room. Crawl in under the stairs and open the chest.
5. Sitting room that is down the stairs that are off of the big main foyer: Flip the lever behind the corner table..............................
6. Tower - Look for a lever on the base of the right-hand statue and flip it to move the statue. [/SPOILER]
Are you 10g. short of the total available or just of what you need to complete the mission? I've never found the last 100g. in this mission, despite looking fairly carefully. I don't suppose you've kept a loot list, have you? (If it's 10 g. short of the total available, of course. :))
