This has started in a very nice way. One of the ways into the house is cool. Also the blackjack replacement :cheeky: :cheeky:. Only the objective "get a replacement for your blackjack" doesn't tick off...
...never mind. I repeated the part and now it's fine.

A excellent mission from what i have played so far. :thumb: A good gripping plot/storyline and architecture has been well done. I am playing normal and have 5 objectives out of 10. A few questions though and annoyances. Eshaktaar for the vines on the walls that you [spoiler]can climb up[/spoiler] why not take away the sound physics property so it doesn't sound like you are climbing up a metal ladder? Also[spoiler]I wanted to save my fire arrows by melting the ice ball in a fire but that didn't work[/spoiler] I was not able to take away some of the notes with clues on them which was a bit annoying cause i had to go back and read them.
Is this mission linear? As in do i have to do certain things in a certain order before i can get certain keys or visit certain areas as i am stuck and there was an area i was going to explore yet left it for later.
[spoiler]In the Wizards room with the telescope i cut the blue wire which i assumed fed power to protect the scepter and the horn but i still couldn't pick them up. The generator room has no switches either.
I've found the attic panel but i don't have a key, a similar secret panel is in one of the rooms but no switch found
Can't get into Captains office who i think i just killed caused he was on the balcony
The clue about a star been the answer for the 8 switch puzzle i don't get.[/spoiler]

Shadows:
sounds like youre stuck in almost the same palce i am, but i think im one step ahead of ya. have you been inside the vault yet?
[SPOILER]the opening to the attic is on the ceiling of the second floor one of the yellow tiles move (its by the staircase banister). [/SPOILER]

Nice mission, but I'm having trouble, hints would be appriciated.
[SPOILER]How do I open the hatches in the ceiling in the lobby and other room upstairs?
Where's the key to the safe in the library?
Where's the balcony key?
Where's the info on the mages?
How do I cut power so I can get the horn?
How do I get in to the captains room?
I've already got the sword, talisman of life and found the vault. [/SPOILER]
Don't answer all of the questions, just give me a nudge. I'm playing on expert.
PS. The builder needs thee!=:laff:

Thanks for your comments, shadows
About the vines
[SPOILER]The sound you hear while climbing the vines should be that of a wooden ladder, not a metal one (since the branches are made of wood).[/SPOILER]
I tried to balance the number of notes you can take with you, since Thief's inventory handling can get rather tiring with many items. Good thing you remembered where you had seen them :)
The Iceheart
[SPOILER]There is a way to melt the ice without using fire arrows: Throw it into the furnace next to the coal chute. Then you can take the gem out. But beware: There's a chance that the following explosion is heard throughout the manor. Close all doors nearby (the one to the kitchen, too).[/SPOILER]
About the scepter and the horn
[SPOILER]This is strange. Cutting the wire should have disabled the power. Is the wire actually cut, i.e. in two pieces? If not, try again, or try reloading a former savegame to retry cutting it. I'm sorry, nobody of the betatesters nor I experienced this problem until now. I hope you don't have to restart because of this.[/SPOILER]
The attic
[SPOILER]You need the attic pole according to open the trapdoors to the attic. You'll find it later on.
You're halfways right about where to find the other gemstones, but you don't have to rope arrow up to them. Just keep looking for the other items.[/SPOILER]

Allright I'm stuck...
- wherre is the key the the atticpanels
- I can see a secret panel to the barred room, but how do I open it?
- that locker in the library, where is it's key?
- how do I unfreeze one of the diamonds?
- that fantastic sword in the stone, I presums it was just for show and you can't pick it up?

First, this one really is an outstanding FM. Lots of thanks, Eshaktaar :thumb:
shadows: the attic [SPOILER] is probably entered through that locked panels you can find on the upper floor´s ceiling ( i´ve seen 3 or 4 of them, for example in the entrance hall above the stairway ) but i´m still missing the key. any hints ? [/SPOILER]
i need help with the [SPOILER] 8-switch-riddle in the vault. The stars-hint didn´t help me...[/SPOILER]
