I am a new member so I like to reply on this one. Also because I finished this mission yesterday (on hard mode). It is a great mission indeed :thumb: I enjoyed it very much: many thanks to the creator.
For me a good mission gives you, as the player, the feeling that you are a part of the society you are "playing" in. You are not the hero but just a member of the society and while you do your actions, there is a whole world living around you. When a FM can give me this feeling then it is a good one! I had this atmosphere in Lord Edmund entertains in a very strong way and also with a Smugglers request there was this kind of thrill. Although there are some very difficult places in this mission (especially the guard house), the basic atmosphere is strong enough to overcome them and keeping you in the mood. Well done!

Welcome to the forum, Black Rose! :) I'm sure RiCh would be happy to hear that you've enjoyed his mission so much. I hope you stick around!

:erg: Ok I give! Where do I go to "hide out" to end the mission? (expert)
And is there a way to get into the unpickable metal door with a bluecoat outside and power equipment inside? I mantled over a south facing wall w/the help of a crate and found a ladder that get's me no-where. Any clues there? :confused:

Look for a wall that you can mantle up onto that's farther up the hill past that doorway. Walk around the wall and you'll find a window that you can get through. It takes you into that building. :)

I realize I'm playing this later than everyone else but I am still having difficulty. And apprently no one has been stumped where I am now.
[SPOILER]I have just jumped up on top of the crates and entered the tavern upstairs, knocked out the two burglars, and found the gold in the safe in the adjoining bedroom. I know I can go out the front door but there are two patrolling bluecoats out there and I can't get past them. So I jumped down through the hole in the floor, exited to the front and accomplished nothing. Same accomplishment upon exiting out the back of the tavern. I went down the alleyway behind the tavern but I can't open the gate back there. I have no keys, see no way to rope arrow up to anything else, and I am stumped for where I should go now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.[/SPOILER]

P. S. I just realized I forgot to say I'm playing on Expert.

[SPOILER]You have to go out the door in the upper level of the Tavern. There's a door to the right, out there, that leads into the guardhouse area. It's the only way to continue. You can get past the bluecoats with no problem, if you take your time. [/SPOILER]

Thanks Nightwalker! I didn't try picking that lock because I had already tried picking the downstairs Guardhouse lock and assumed they were the same. Shame on me! Thanks so much. Now I am on my way!

Hi all,
first off: how lucky am I to play Inverted Manse (a great mission) and then stumble upon A Smugglers Request!
Finished Smugglers on middle level but left one objective unfulfilled: find captain's log. Does anyone know where it is? Thanks!
P.S. after conquering Smugglers I am off to slay Art of Thievery (could this be a third consecutive great mission?!).
Nightwalker on 15/8/2002 at 22:05
You will be very pleased when you try The Art of Thievery and find another amazing mission. It's deserving of a gold hammer, IMHO.
As for Smuggler's Request, did you find the Evidence Lockers? I think that's where you missed the Captain's Log. [SPOILER]You go into the secret passageway that you find in the skull room. Climb the first ladder, then at the top, turn around and look behind you![/SPOILER] :)

Is it just me, or is "A Smugglers Request"
FRIGGIN' HARD AS HECK?!? :eek:
(I do love it, but don't know how long I can hang on...I've just been scraping by for most of the mission!! hehe...and yes, it's fun!!) :)
