This mission needs proper beta testing. I just played for 5 min and discovered a lot of bugs.
1) you can go through many objects like trees, big bushes, lamp near guard's tower and also cradle. It's possible that these objects will be solid at first, but it needs just couple of tries to go through them and then all objects become pass through.
2) ladder in guard's tower isn't climbable. Is that intentional?
3) rope arrows don't work on wood (at least not in guard's tower and outside grass). They just vanish.
4) it's very hard to get out of river. I only managed to get out in one spot near bridge and I couldn't be too close to ground to successfully mantle.
Edit: OK, nevermind. I played this mission on Tafferpatcher 1.25 and this mission doesn't work properly on it. Tried T2Fix and it works fine. This is seriously the first mission that plays so broken on Tafferpatcher and I think it would be a good idea to mention that in first post.

Yes T2Fix_1.27d at least is required. This mission was built in New Dark 1.27 version.

Neat, the original Dark Forest had a lot of ideas I liked but I also definitely thought it could use an update to fix some big flaws. I probably won't get to play this new version until later in the weekend, but I took a quick look around the beginning and it is very noticeably improved.

Will enjoy seeing all the improvements, the screenshots look promising. :D

A grand improvement! Looks stunning now. Kinda been feeling like I need to read a gothic novel or something lately and this FM definitely delivers in that regard! Plays great too - I didn't even enter the mine yet, but it felt great to find the hidden items and secrets at the beginning portion of the FM. I love the use of sound too. Gonna be playing this through the weekend :cheeky: . Thanks a lot for this!

May I please have a hint for the location of the treasury key? I have the cell key and searched the prisoner's cell and body, but no treasury key found. I figure I'm looking in the wrong places. Thanks.

In the prisoner cell is a secret compartment in the wall. The switch is hidden behind the Iron Maiden. In the compartment is the key to the treasury.

I have NewDark 1.27 installed but not T2Fix 1.27 and there are some weird things in the starting area (the console in the guard tower is not displayed so the scroll inside seems to float in the air, same thing for the piece of meat). Are there some optional features of T2Fix 1.27 which are needed for this mission?

Yes i think so. Without T2Fix_1.27d you will not be able to play properly the mission. I will also recommend a full install of T2Fix_1.27d (with all the optional components).
