This is something I thought was just the funniest thing to ever happen to me in Thief III. Try it for yourself if you want:cheeky:
I was heading into the docks and decided, for some reason or another, to get caught and send the guards for a wild chase. I ran down to the waters edge with 5 guards on my heels and jumped into the row boat. Amazingly, the guards seemed unable the reach me (despite the face I looked well-enough in their reach. Oh well, they're guards)! Trying desperately to reach me 2 guards fell into the water and drawned. After declarations of "Murderer!", "I'll get you!" and "You think you can get away from me?!", all 5 fell in the water and died. I was completely untouched. I couldn't stop laughing! :laff:

I've heard this happens because some of their animations (like shaking their fist) take them forward a bit, which makes them fall off the edge eventually. I haven't seen it happen but it even seems funny to think about. I remember someone already posting about the boat trick but it was a post in another thread.

Yeah, to me that's a classic. :thumb:
In docks you can also 'push guards to water', if you get a crate between you and guard you can push it to drop guard into water! :laff:
This is especially funny if you [SPOILER]push Gamall into water, she can't die but she won't never bother you again in docks[/SPOILER]
Or if you do that boat thing to [SPOILER]statues, since they can't drown they just wander around in water forever[/SPOILER]
For Domarius (and everyone else who haven't seen the boat thing) I have made (

You can also just drop an oil flask onto the dock in front of a guard's path and he'll slip off into the water. :cheeky:

:cheeky: Somebody had a video of this once! Once I saw it I tried it myself and had lots of fun!!!
The funny thing about the video was that the guard hit his head on something as he was tumbling into the water...

Recently while goofing around in Stonemarket Proper. . during the time when that huge war is going on between the hammers and the pagans (after you get out of the Cradle) and I had a few moments of humor when the guards were chasing me. . .
I'm sure most of you know that if you throw the various barrels you find lying around, some of them will break. The others will explode.
Both humorous incidents involved non-exploding barrels. .which is what makes it funny. I picked up a barrel and threw it at a guard who was chasing me. The barrel broke, but I also ended up killing the guy.. . .:weird:
Second one was when I was running down the stairs that lead into the alley with another guard in hot pursuit. When I got to the bottom I picked up a barrel and threw it back up the stairs at him. The barrel broke, and I heard a death scream. . looking back, I saw him tumbling down the stairs. Well, that's just what happens when you don't hold onto the handrail. :tsktsk:
