That was a fun mission. I liked the different graphics and objects such as the glassware loot. It was nice not having to screw with my monitor's gamma to see although some shadows would have been better. Dislikes - unfrobbable doors and difficulty frobbing some switches and books even after finding them.

All right; thanks to Albert and others, I got the weapon. Now I'm just short on loot -- I have 2887 with 3000 needed and 3137 the max. Stuff I've gotten so far:
[spoiler]The stash below the city watch station; the 200 gp in the rich guy's house; all the visible stuff in that house and in the lady's house next door; all the visible stuff (unless I missed something obvious) in de Winter's house, downstairs and up, including the candlestick behind the curtain in the room Lady de Winter is in; the wine bottle at the drunk guard's feet, as well as the one in his hand; the purse on the stationary guard. Probably other loot that I just don't recall at the moment.
Edit: Per Norman Druart and DirtyOldMan below, I also got the modern "art" paintings.[/spoiler]
I only need 113 more to finish out, and 250 to max out. Any suggestions, something you remember that I didn't mention above?
Thanks,
Dafydd

Did you grab De Winter's paintings?

[SPOILER]The "modern art" paintings in the corridor near the dining room?[/SPOILER]

More! More! There must be more! How about stuff before the swim? Did I miss something critical there? If so, is it even possible to go back and get it?
250 left; that's huge. That can't be a coin here or there; I must have missed something gargantuan! Did the monkey swallow a ring? Is Basso wearing a tiara? Is de Winter wearing golden booties?

Well...what about one of the houses you burglarize at the beginning? There was a [SPOILER]wine bottle I easily missed behind a bunch of regular green bottles. Also in one those houses, there are two jeweled swords above a fireplace. Since such objects are not usually loot, you may have missed them.[/SPOILER]

Thanks, Metal Dawn; I saw those and even went up to them; but since they didn't frob, I assumed they were just decoration (like the sword display in the trophy room of All Torc). The ones in Homo Arbor must just have a very short frob radius.
I'll go back for them, and thanks again!
Edit: Ah, finally. With the purse from the spawned guard, the two swords, and a picture I had missed in the house of the lady of swords, I was finally able to finish -- still 110 short, but that's all right.
I still wonder about that big, purple, unfrobbable vase in the man's house. Should be loot. Also, did I miss a rope arrow? Or is there none in the mission? I saw a couple of places where it looked as if I could get into a house if I had a rope arrow. For example, right across the street from the rich man's house, balcony, looks like a frobbable door and a room behind it. But I didn't start with a rope arrow, and I never found one en route.

Playing this FM again on Expert and I created a rough draft of a loot list. With help from this FM I was able to find all the loot.
My rough draft has [spoiler] 3077 [/spoiler] out of [spoiler] 3177 [/spoiler] loot found. If anyone is interested in it, I have it in .txt format.
Minor math totals in it, but the final total is accurate.

Ran through it again and I now have a complete loot list for this FM.

I just finished this mission and it's gorgeous! Very nice to look at, fun to play with an interesting storyline. All round fun, IMHO. Got all the loot, too, thanks to a little bit of help from Abert's loot list. :)
