It certainly required a lot of inspired guess work but I'm not sure how the author could give hints without telling the player exactly what to do.

OK - easy level afterall - when you have someone walking you throug it step-by-step. I never would have considered [SPOILER]climbing the tree - not only was there no hint about it, it didn't really even stand out from the rest of the environment.[/SPOILER] I don't know how long it would have taken me to think of [SPOILER]putting the thieves in the basement.[/SPOILER] And, had I not already read about [SPOILER]giving the map to the wife,[/SPOILER] I would never have thought of that either since [SPOILER]she isn't frobbable. [/SPOILER]
The level certainly looked cool, though. And I've always liked the idea of [SPOILER]finding a whole secret world underneath your house that was always there but you didn't know it. The whole "wife/zombie" thing was a little silly, though.[/SPOILER]
Personally, out of the three Glyph contest entrants, I'd have voted for Winter's Holiday.

On Expert, is there a limit to number of BJ? I KO'd 2 and when I KO the 3rd, the game ends. Is that part of the bug fix for version 2.0 or should we be told of a BJ limit on Expert?

Ok, I guess I need some help on this one. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or encountered a bug. With the thieves, at first I tried [SPOILER]throwing them in the river. That failed the mission because I'm playing on expert and am not allowed to kill. Then I came to this thread, and from what I've read, I thought I was supposed to put them in the small closet under the stairs in the basement. I've done this, and even locked the door with the key afterwards, but this objective does not check off.[/SPOILER] I cannot proceed because when I go down the ladder, the mission fails for not completing the "Find a good place for these crooks" objective.
Can someone please tell me if I'm missing something?
Other than this, I like the plot, and can't wait to see what's "down there".

I just visited thiefmissions.com to download this FM, but it says the file is unavailable; 'downloads of this file have been disabled by the administrator'. Is there another site where I can download it?

The author requested that it be removed. Sorry.
taffedinthehead on 15/1/2006 at 17:15
Really! Did he give a reason why?
Albert: There should not be a blackjack minimum - are you sure you didn't accidentally kill him somehow?
Bass: Are you sure all THREE thieves are in the room together? Make sure the door is shutting all the way closed, because it locks in whatever position it is in.

If you scroll up a bit you'll see his explanation.

Thanks taffedinthehead! Yep, I'd forgotten about the first one I wacked and threw in the upstairs entry room.
But, now I'm REEEELY feeling dumb! I'm in the [SPOILER]caves and water (which are very pretty and well made BTW), and I seem to be at a dead end. I haven't found any loot nor any other area to explore. I've swum up into to a large circular cave with crystals on the ceiling, but no loot and no way out that I can see. I even found a "secret area" (again, with no loot). I've tried throwing around every rock I see too, hoping to reveal something, but no luck.[/SPOILER]
Someone please help!

Sorry for removing the mission from 'thiefmissions.com' - mission need to be improved. Yes, i know - it shouldn't even be there before improving but sometimes small misunderstandings happen... ;) But you know - patience is the virtue...
Bassmanret: Lantern can be useful for the caves.
Abert: there's no knockout limit. There is only 'no kills' objective - is that the one which turns to "failed"?
It sounds like another bug... :confused: :(
