I just got this FM recently and I'm having a bit of a problem figurig some things out. I read where someone didn't have a map..I don't have one either if I'm supposed to...so although I've been through much of the Monastery...the only place I didn't go into was the Chapel..due to a Priest facing outward and the one guard still patroling. Everyone else is sleeping. So where is the meeting place, I have not found such a place?
I have opened the door to the Crypt...but cannot figure out how to get two skillie guards patroling inside...I have four water arrows but don't see how I'll be able to put out candles in the skulls...if they can even be..not much time as they are fairly quick.
I saw the hole in the wall with the water inside and a tunnel to swim through, so guess that's the way out to portal, etc. Can't believe with all the looting I've done I'm short..need $2K and I've got $1900+ only???? I found two secrets...the one in Priest room and the one in Training room...I took a quick look at statues in basement but apparently I need to look closer. Got all the obvious things, pub, houses, every room in Cathedral..I suppose Chapel of course has some but just didn't want to mess with Priest. I had a couple of sword fights and had to use all edibles..so health is full but no more to eat. I'm playing "hard" mode.
What's with the hammer in the statues hand about? And what am I doing with a Gold Skull, is there a reason for it? I'll have to wait for reply before I can continue so anyone that can offer some pointed answers I'll be very grateful. Thanks :)

The meeting place objective should have been ticked off before you ever entered the Monastery. There was a dead body you passed in the park-like section between town and the Monastery. Frob the body and the meeting objective will tick off and you'll get new objectives.
The Crypt I just backstabbed the haunts right at the entrance to the crypt. It's easier than sneaking by them but you can do that do. There are quite a few shadows in there.

Thanks Nightie...but you didn't give me anything about the other couple of things I asked about. Could you also tell me about those things too? :) Yes I saw body but was afraid to go near for fear it was a zombie...LOL You know how I feel about those things :erm: So I guess the first thing I'm going to have to do is go all the way back out there and check him out...eeeyaaa!
Also, shadows...heh not much with all that lighting in there and I assume there is only one way to get to them, down that corridor I was facing with them at the other end. I sure wish there would have been at least one health potion...I tried not to get caught but some were not avoidable, specially the encounters across bridge for example. Tried to BJ both but I couldn't get the second guy before he turned around, etc. That took most of my health and had to use all eatables I had plus others I found inside to get my health back to full. So any misteps will be very damaging as I won't be able to recover, including some bad fishies and swimming not to drown in that quest...and then if I have to kill that Priest in Chapel (which I bet I'll have to end up doing)...don't know how I'm going to survive all that potential damage, etc. OH Boy!! Maybe I can get him from above...I do have the Fire Arrows, but then I'd have to get rid of that guard down there first so he doesn't come after me...can't deal with anymore fighting...just not sure how I'm going to achieve all the rest of this.
I love Christine's FM's but this one seems a bit harder than any of her others I've played...mainly all the lighting that at times have been difficult to know when you should use a water arrow or not...and those mushrooms were very difficult at times to put out...had to be directly over them and several took more than one click to put out. I had to restart three times before I got a good enough start to continue on right at the beginning. Maybe I'm just getting too slow in my old age or something LOL
Thanks again but I may be back again if I run into more than I can chew ;)
EDIT: [SPOILER]OK so far...I found out what hammer did but still only $2900+ out of $5K+? Boy there sure must be a lot in that Chapel? Got the two Haunts, but when I killed the first one another came out searching...so there's at least one more inside...hope I pick the right way :eek: Lawd I hate Haunts, undeads, etc. Still haven't gotten used to it, hearts beating like a drum! :D Only new quest added was return...other one already done[/SPOILER] .
EDIT #2: Mission Completed and oh my was that scarry and first try deadly!!! Ended up w/3182 out of 4037 thought it was $5K but guess I was mistaken in that regard. Kindof figured the way out was a place that I thought had something to do with something but didn't tie it in till I was searching around and then thought about it and that was it :) Lost about 1/4 or so of health dealing with you know who on second try but finally managed to get it done...whew!!! As much as I enjoy her missions once again...I think one time for that one for me is enough! LOL Just glad I was able to finish without too many more attempts. :D I've got a couple more dl'd to play yet so here I go again...thank you all :)

I'm not able to download it from thiefmissions. Getting some error.
The Circle links to thiefmisssions, so I can't download there either. Any other site where this FM is available?
thanks ........... Caropr

excellent mission, can't believe you were going to throw it away, thanks for releasing it :thumb:

Whew, I finally got around to play this mission Bad me, usually play your new missions immediately, Christine ^^
What I wanted to ask out of pure curiousity: are there more hidden objectives besides
returning the doll?
I thought of maybe putting the sadistic priest's note on the desk of the naive little novice to warn him, but sadly that didn't work...
Thanks for sharing this mission anyway! It was great fun playing! ^^

Great mission. Playing on Normal I'm 250 short which is good for me and I found all the secrets. For this week's good deed I'm searching for the innkeeper's daughter's doll that the guard says he threw into the lake “as far out as I could ... they will never find it again”.
I assume
(a) He means the water directly in front of the monastery.
(b) That the doll is similar to Dewdrop.
If that's correct can anyone remember
1. Where it is e.g. on the floor of the lake or stuck behind some underwater rock or on a little bit of land at the side?
2. Is it dressed in red as Dewdrop usually is?
Any clues much appreciated. It's not for me you understand but Little Lara. Perhaps there'll be free beer from a grateful father.. :D Thanks.
DONE: As so often reported in threads, only after you ask for help do you solve the problem yourself. Strange magic. Now to return the doll. She is on the lake floor and in red like Dewdrop but called Dinky.
