Anyone found all the loot yet? I am shy about 70 loot!
Also, what happened:
[SPOILER]After I got the Hand of Glory, suddenly there three new guards looking for me, and several dead hammers on the ground floor outside the ladie's bedroom? What was supposed to have happened here?[/SPOILER]

You might have missed either the bottle on the floor in one of the dark Hammerite rooms or (more probably) the LC tapestry in the Hammerite area.
For the author (if he's here): I liked the atmosphere of a medieval mansion in a storm and the weather effects were nicely done. One criticism, though - it's better to include a "return back" objective, since now the mission ends when the player has found more than 1800 loot and the Hand. But a lot of people want to try to find all the loot, which is impossible like this (since the mission ends when you're over 1800).

Thanks, Preno - that was it.
To Author:
Nice first level - I also liked the weather and lightning.
The only thing I don't really like is pitch black rooms - I don't know if that was intentional or not, but they tend to annoy. Other than that, good job :thumb:
I'd still like to know what happened after I took the Hand, though.

I'm short on loot. Where is the tapestry in the Hammerite building that was mentioned? I can't seem to find it.

;) Thanks for the thief 1 goodness. Its been awhile. I thought the rain was a little loud indoors but other than that. Well done for a noob Drom ed person.
Also as for hard to notice loot I was short untill I [SPOILER]found the loot behind one of the hammers in the second chapel[/SPOILER] then I was at 100 % loot found.

Thanks, Lightningline! That's exactly what I needed to know. This is a nice little mission for a first effort. I don't like the pitch black rooms but the weather effects made for a nice atmosphere and I quite enjoyed it. Thanks!

Nice little mission, well done! I liked the interactivity with the hammers and guards appearing, kept me on my toes.

To the author, one word... ObjCast lighting. :sly:

Thank you all for your feedback. I have to be honest here and say that towards the end, I started getting restless. I've been playing Thief for a long, long time, but I'd never made a mission for it until now. I rushed through it at the end, resulting in the pitch black rooms you mentioned, and simplistic mission objectives. Now I feel I can wait longer and really polish my next one off better.
Again, I appreciate your (everyone!:D ) review of my mission "The Storm".
I'm now on my next mission-
J_J :cheeky:
p.s. ObjCast lighting?
