Hi, howie.
1) The problem you're experiencing with the BJ is just that, a problem. I asked Purah about this and he said that, as far as he can tell, the AI alert just at the moment you BJ them, which causes the mission to fail. The only thing I can suggest is to save before you try it, so if it fails you can reload or just avoid BJ as much as possible. You can do the whole mission and not touch anyone without too much trouble. If you want to pickpocket someone, just make sure they haven't seen you in the last few minutes. If they are at a first level alert, even though they don't look agitated, the game will fail.
2) I don't understand this one. Maybe Purah or someone else will have some words of wisdom. The only thing I can think of is that maybe you're being spotted by someone. If you're even seen with a weapon in your hands, then you're recognized as being a thief and up to no good, which fails the first objective. It's also possible that someone nearby is hearing the water arrow hit.
3) I don't understand this one at all. I've never had it happen.
4) There's quite a bit of stuff in that building. It might be worthwhile starting from an earlier save and trying again.
5) There's nothing in the apartment. Just frob the bed to finish and go on to the next mission.
If you want to know where to find more loot so you can buy more equipment for the next mission, just e-mail me and I'll give you some idea of where to look.

Thanks Nightwalker,
I went into the barricks through the front door. The guard didn't notice me this time. I managed to shoot one water arrow in the barricks without the game failing. I actually had one guard looking for me and the game didn't end -- thats the first time. I don't know what's up with the high alert status, even if I don't move, the guards are alerted. I may have to start the game over to get by this problem. I must have did something odd to cause the mission to fail so easily.
Thanks,
howie

I'm steadily working my way through Purah's list of easter eggs/special quests this weekend =)
Any hints on where to find the hand of glory or hammer of the builder? Once again, Purah and team - amazing job! Thanks for all your hard work.

I finally made it to the tomb. [SPOILER] Something seems to be wrong with the loot total and the crown itself. My loot total is way to low. I first noticed it when I frobbed some loot from a man walking on the street and it said he was carrying $2. Before raiding the tomb I had $221, after raiding the tomb I have $239, it just isn't possible with all the stuff I've picked up for the total to be that low. For some reason I can not frobb the crown at all. It lights up but nothing happens when I click on it. I looked at the walk-through and I seem to have found everything but the main chamber in the tomb. Right now I'm hopelessly stuck inside the chamber.
Edit: Something is wrong. I looked at the walk-through again. It says in the barn there is a ladder that leads up to a chest in the attic. I tried to go up there but I could not frob the door at the top of the ladder -- the door just doesn't light up. I must have lost some stuff in the download or it got corrupted somehow. Hmmmmmmm......Ok...at least i know I'm not losing my mind now. Thanks for the clues, I guess I'll have to buy the CD's.[/SPOILER]

howie - I think you need to read the walkthrough again. :)
[SPOILER]The chest isn't up the ladder in the barn, it's on the main floor.
The loot totals are low on a lot of objects in this mission. Your total is probably right. The main loot available is in the real tomb, which you haven't found yet. The one with the crown is a decoy. You can't pick up the crown, by the way. You need to keep looking. If you go back up the hallway from the tomb with the crown, there is a skeleton on the floor right at the corner. There is a bone you can frob that will open a secret door right beside you. Also, have you found a silver key yet? If not, go back to the room with 4 doors and try another one. :)

Howie,
I think your playing on normal difficulty. The attic in the barn didn't work for me either when I played mission 1 on Normal. Do a search of other CL threads for more help on the tomb. You've been had by Arkyn!!:devil:

that's why Nightwalker's the moderator and I am just another taffer!:cheeky:

[spoiler]Nightwalker said:"The chest isn't up the ladder in the barn, it's on the main floor. " Howie's responce: That maybe true, regardless, there is nothing in the footlocker on the main floor, nada, empty as a old beer bottle. I'll try the bone thing. The author of the walk-through is booooooooooring. Sorry. Not witty to me at all. How's that for a spoiler, NOT. :D[/spoiler]

howie - [SPOILER]On Expert, there was 2 g. in the barn chest. As for the walkthrough, each to his own! :)[/SPOILER]

I'm still stuck at the boneheads tomb with all the loot. I have no idea how to get by this thing. It was fun up until now.
