I searched here earlier today to see if anyone had finished Undeadland. It seems that there is confusion about the meaning of objective #2, and I could find no information to clarify it. So, this morning I e-mailed the author, JIS. He has just told me what the objectives were. With this, I was able to finish the mission. JIS does not read or write English. Below are his machine translations with my corrections.
There are two purposes of UndeadLand.
1: Get Lord Bafford's scepter.
2: Go to the destination.
Spoiler for #2 (by JIS):[SPOILER]I think that blindness in one eye is easy. The destination is the space to the left-hand side of a start point. You must jump from the roof of the right-hand side building to this space.[/SPOILER]
To be more specific (my spoiler):[SPOILER]This roof is found after a long underwater swim.[/SPOILER]
JIS also told me that Undeadland was written for speed competition. The average time is 3 minutes. I finished it in 19 minutes, not realizing I was supposed to go fast.
Try it. You'll like it. :)

Thanks. I'll give it a go as soon as I've finished the Elevator Mission. Although not very thiefy, that mission is enjoyable in a way hard to describe, and it's made me curious about the author's other FMs.

"Written for speed competition" clears up the confusion around some missions by JIS: the ones where you are surrounded by enemies, do not get any weapons and can only complete the objectives by running away.
My first attempt at Undeadland took me longer than 14 minutes. On the second attempt, I got a time of 3 minutes and 39 seconds. It should be possible to shave off more than 30 seconds from this, so 3 minutes sounds achievable.
