Well Asgaroth, that was quite a mission, small but tough when it came to finding all the loot. Your tips did help me.[SPOILER]I figured the way out was behind the closet thingy in the big room. Just had a very hard time finding that switch.[/SPOILER] Thanks for the help. The places where you hid some of the loot were very difficult to find. But all in all, I enjoyed it. Took me 1 hour and 25 minutes to complete. Looking forward to your next mission. Thanks!:thumb:

the exit was where I thought it was then but that switch is a sod

checked everywhere you suggested for more loot and found I'd already been there and cleaned it out seriously stumped on this :confused:

oh and I managed to lift a couple of moss arrows out of the armoury by clicking blind round the door :ebil:

oh and I hate spiders *shudders* that was NOT a nice surprise

Esme on 23/10/2006 at 23:00

oh and if anyone has a loot list for hard please let me know :cheeky:

Oh, what have I done. :sly: [SPOILER]It seems that some of my FM spilled onto yours. :eek: I swear I turned those emiitters off.[/SPOILER] ;) I just downloaded it now, so let me go...

Esme Have you checked[SPOILER]on top of the closet things, they are the things that the exit was behind.[/SPOILER] I found a lot of loot [SPOILER]on them[/SPOILER].

A couple of suggestions for future missions: Cutting down the lockpicking time on chests, etc. would be a big improvement. I'm not really keen on loot hidden in places where it can't be seen as just walking around, frobbing everything in sight gets a bit old after awhile. I don't mean to discourage you at all, though. I'll look forward with anticipation to your next mission. :)

I would like to echo Nightwalker's suggestions. The only good reason to make a lock take a long time to pick is if you have to pick it in a lit area on a guard's patrol route. Otherwise you're just annoying the player for no good reason. Also, I agree that loot should always be partially visible (assuming it's not in a container or niche in the wall etc.) unless it's an easter egg sort of thing. And also, I don't mean to discourage you, it's wonderful that we continue having new authors take on the Dromed beast and create missions for us to play! :)

[/SPOILER]

Esme on 24/10/2006 at 11:21

found a coin I missed now I just need 200 loot, that vase on the table with the statue is really looking good for that but I really hope that isnt it as I can't pick it up

Esme:
The vase on the table in the big house is not frobbable. I also found some[SPOILER]expensive wine bottles left outside the small house near the front corner.[/SPOILER] If I hadn't been walking with my head down, I could have tripped on them, lol. The only other suggestion I have is for you to crouch down and click on everything. There were places I had picked up loot only to find more when I went back.

Nightwalker on 24/10/2006 at 14:28

That leaves me exactly 100g. short of what I need for Expert. I've got everything else mentioned here, as far as I can tell.

Ah! Got the loot total completed. I found a purse on top of the armoire in the first bedroom on the left in the Bafford house.
