Thanks
ultravioletu. How did I miss that?
If it's the one I'm thinking of, the one you got from the dead sewer maintenance man's wake, you have to
take it to the SW part of the map and look for a part of the canal where water is flowing out from thick pipe. Swim underwater BELOW the pipe.EDIT: Oops, didn't see jiansonz's reply.

I couldn't find a way to supreme steal the
12 gold from Charlotte's bedroom. I originally though it's not even ghostable
Sorry but you can probably blame me for that. I was one of the beta testers and although I did not ghost the mission from beginning to end, I did manage to ghost each building individually so said to Yandros that yes I believe the mission to be ghostable.
Sadly there are very few ghosters who beta test, I certainly am not one myself, but when beta testing I always try to get every bit of loot, and past every guard without being seen, without using any arrows or turning off any lights. However from my understanding of the ghosting rules
if it is 100% impossible to get to a piece of loot without turning off a light (as in the case of Charlotte's apartment), then it is considered acceptable. As for supreme ghosting, I'm afraid I don't think I have ever read the rules. :(
There does seem to be a lack of regular testers, we see the same names time after time on Shalesbridge, and we do have a supreme need for ghosters to help out, so why not join us, you would be very welcome.
It may be a bit early to mention this, but I do fear that with possible 20+ missions being released at the end of the year for the T20 contest, the beta testers available will struggle to manage so many all at the same time, so if anyone has thought about beta testing but never actually thrown their hat into the ring, this year will be the year we will need you. As well as that it might be advisable for any authors who get their mission ready before November to get them tested early in order to take the pressure off the testers in the final few weeks.

Oh, don't worry about that, none will blame anyone!
First of all, not every mission is supposed to be supremed, most of the fun comes from attempting to find out whether is it or not. The outcome matter less...
Secondly, you were technically right, that building is ghostable (I can take the loot without alerts, by only turning off two lights, which is not allowed for supreme, but okay for regular/strict ghost). Btw, (

:) Probably in the same way I missed
the coins in the church, despite specifically inspecting the floor - as this kind of loot is now bordering on cliché, I suspected there might be something.

An excellent mission and wonderful Christmas gift! Atmosphere and readables were great. Story was very intriguing and left me wanting more. :(
All in all...

More about key #18:
Hint:
Apart from the safety box customers list, there is another readable that mentions the person who rents the box. The key is quite close.
Specific place:
Apartment at Swan Crest 4 (rope up)Outright spoiler:
in the secret compartement behind a painting (frob book to open)Thanks for the tip.
I was there earlier and read the letters but did nothing about it and forgot all about it too....like a taffer. The bank's list of depositors which had the name Blackwell was confusing since I assumed a person by that name was renting the box and gave the keys to some anonymous person who would come by later with the key to claim what was in the deposit box. This way the illegal activity won't be traced back to Blackwell.frobbin hood on 29/12/2017 at 13:48
Thanks for the tips about the mysterious key guys. That was a bit of the map I hadn't explored!

Just completed this wonderful legacy mission of Lady Rowena. Sure wish the story would continue :rolleyes:, but thankful we were able to enjoy this one at least. :angel:

Here is a list:
(playing on Expert difficulty, in case that matters)
1. Grand Canal SW end, swim S where water drops from large pipe
2. Candlestick on low wooden roof outside bank manager's kitchen
3. Enter low balcony S the wooden roof in #2 (jump/drop down from pipe)
4. Purse above Hammerites' fireplace in kitchen (their main place, not the workshop)
5. Open passage in house you enter from ventilation gate (switch to the left of unfrobbable door's frame)
6. Rope into apartment at Swan Crescent 4, open secret behind painting (a classic 'frob book' switch)
7. The screenshot easter egg: SE-most block, rope up above (unfrobbable) door at Winding Road 2 and slash banner (easiest done standing on the lamp)
8. Key to safety box nr 20: in bank, on top of combination lock mechanism
Hi, i am thankful too for letting us play this lost and found mission! Missing the other 2 missions, yeah, the end of the story, it could have been great as well, for sure... but it was a real pleasure playing this one! Nice story, nice city.Thank you!
I found only
7 secrets out of 8, i think i missed the 3rd one in this list could you please give a more exact hint for it? Thanks in advance.
