Nightwalker
Thanks for the tips.
[SPOILER]You were definitely right, the path via the cathedral is much easier. Also, it was most amusing to see the bow man wandering around who - up to me getting there - had escaped the zombie menace. I didn't mind missing out on a bit of treasure, I finished the mission with enough to afford everything bar the mega-potion on the next level.
Incidently... (disclaimer - the following link is for a bad joke product) anyone worried about a NOLD effect should try out the following link:

Anyway, on to winter's eve - I wonder how long it'll take me to post on that thread!!!

LOL, Taliesin! :laff: :joke: :cheeky: That's hillarious! I think I want to get a couple of those for my next trip through this mission!

Zombies .... "Couldn't we just think of them as metabolically challenged?" I thought this one was particularly funny (small edit) from the Guest Book page :D
My continued adventures:
[SPOILER]Well I proceeded ahead and only put one torch out in first room...since you said I could leave the same way...guess I'll stop on the way and pick it (gem) up...but I only spotted a skull near by looked like to me? I managed to put two skeleton's to sleep...RIP..but the second one came out from where I found a "Haunt"? after I shot the second one even though I did it near Mech machine down the hallway...he must have heard it groan so he same down the hall a bit while I hid next to machine. Then I crept down next to him and although I didn't think it would work, tried to BJ and of course I saw my skull/bones winking at me...LOL! So that's where I left off last night and will now pull out my fire arrow and put an end to his attitudes...Mawwwhhahahaha![/SPOILER]
I thought the Keeper's had a place down here? or is that later/next level? Ta and Good Hunting!
Afterthoughts: [SPOILER] So Cardinal is a Vamp?[/SPOILER] I do have a mine, flash mine, 4 holy viles, lots of water arrows, fire arrows and 4 flash bombs...think that's enough??? plus one use of amulet :D Apparently I could get to the cemetary graves for more goodies from here? I'd like to get a little more so I can buy what I need for next level...my take right now is $3900 somthing?

Fire Eater - [SPOILER]There's not a lot of loot up there, but there is some. There's a gold vase upstairs in the house, and a ring in the leaves outside in the cemetary and a statue on top of a coffin at the top of the 3rd way out of the room where you found the cylix. When I used the Amulet to kill the Cardinal, it took 2 uses of it, but I'm sure one plus some other stuff would probably work. I can't say for sure though.
The Keeper's place is in Mission #3, so you'll have to wait for that part. :) [/SPOILER]
The Fire Eater on 16/4/2002 at 22:53
maybe I'll give it a try and see what happens...but I have a feeling I 'd better drink my joy juice now before I try it, LOL, just incase I run into a little snag doing this :D Thanks and see ya later. Good Hunting!
Later in the evening...I doodododoodded it...no not killed the Cardinal...although I tried a few times...guess I needed two shots. I did try using it again and it just didn't fire. So at least it got rid of a couple of "Z's" running around in there...and used by Flash bomb when we were in the hall and I got inside, then used an invis...grabbed the goodie, used my second invis to run past and down the hall as fast as my little feet would go, all the way till I got near sleeping "Z" room again..got gem and out. Had to dodge/wait some "Z's" outside that didn't seem to be around earlier...but no problem and out hole. So I did the deed and now trying to get into Mission 3 and I can't... :mad: I'm having .avi problems again/still and my comp keeps crashing when it tries to load/play the new .avi...I've tried several times to get in...tried checking some apps regarding video, etc. , tried reloading indeo codec's but the same thing as last time when I tried to do that. Says I've already got upgraded versions and won't reinstall Thiefs codecs. At this point I don't know if reinstalling Thief would make any difference. I'm so upset and unhappy about this. I never had any problems running Thief's .avi's on my other machine and I don't understand what's going wrong in this one???? This is not just with CL...I've had problems even with the O.M.'s .avi's at times but not as problematic as with CL. :nono: So I don't know what to do now....:confused: I want Mission 3 and my loot! Ta and Good Hunting!

Did anybody notice...
[SPOILER]The undead and all the other nasty creatures that wonder the cemetery do not seem to be able to cross the bridge. I used this “bug” if you can call it that to kill them all. It was actually somewhat easy since all of the zombies were standing together an 1 or 2 fire arrows were enough to finish the job.[/SPOILER]

Could I get a hint/clue on where to start looking for this sword? Pretty please..:p
Taliesin on 17/4/2002 at 14:21
what difficulty are you playing on? If it's footpad, it's not available. If higher then a clue might be:
[SPOILER]shakespearian sorcerors[/SPOILER]
If that's a little too obvious sorry, a little too obscure let me know!!!
Nightwalker on 17/4/2002 at 14:30
Good clue, Taliesin!

Hello, I found a bride (I pressume she's a bride, she's dressed all in white) in [SPOILER]the market area[/SPOILER]. She only appeared there after a while and from all the time I've spent on this mission (several hours on footpad and now several more on expert) she's never once cropped up before!! Is this a time delay feature set into the mission similar to Bob's cat; He seemed to come from nowhere too!!
Although this maybe a textures bug I'm experiencing (e.g. the purple guy that travels to and from the forge area is now dressed like a keeper with a glowing red hand) though most everyone else is dressed normal.
BTW has anyone clocked up a lot of hours in a single sitting without reloading. I'm just wondering if this ultimate easter egg [SPOILER]has a huge time delay feature[/SPOILER]
Well I gotta get to work now, I look forward to your replies :)
