Thanks, found the room, the extra objective, and just enough loot to finish.

I did end up ghosting the mission, except for the necessary bust (you must alert First Castor or you can't finish). (I did not, however, alert Final Castor: he went down without ever knowing what hit him, so mote it be.)

Finished with 1415 and just shy one pickpocket... and I even know who it is: the priest at the front door, outside with the combot and the guards and the watcher. I couldn't figure out how to pick his pocket without alerting the other guards or getting spotted by the watcher.

Nice mission... but I noticed in the stats that Castor counted as an "innocent" killed: the stat said "innocents killed: some;" but the only person I even hit, let alone killed, was Castor.

How, in a mission, do you designate which people are innocents and which are others?

In order to have the kill limit to 3, without having Castor count as one of those kills, I had to make him an innocent, which does not count against "guard kills" I changed the body of the serveant to a thief, voice/hit points/weapon etc...

So, those are the main issues? The Heart of Sancitity not checking off, and blackjacking Castor, and sometimes him not running through the teleporter? If there are any others, please let me know, so if I decide to release a patch, I know what to look for.

hmmm....where on where are the stairs [SPOILER]to the attic?[/SPOILER] :confused:

They're in [SPOILER] a small private Library on the upper floor. It's the one that has the book about the Heart of Sanctity flower. The door to this room unlocks with the grey key you find in Castor's suite. [/SPOILER]

To avoid having an AI show up in the kill stats, just remove the JAccuse script ((http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=941185#post941185) how to).
Also, why didn't you actually teleport Castor instead of a clone?

Otherwise this FM was quite enjoyable, and I really liked that song you used.

Hello from the OLD GUY,
Got all the loot and big Gem. In the library(main one off the courtyard,lower level) can't find a gem fragment. Am I in the right library? Is it on the upper or lower level? Any help appreciated !!! Playing on easy --- The Geez

HipBreaker on 5/4/2004 at 04:16

[SPOILER]In the main library, up the stairs to the upper left, there is a book you click on high on the shelf it and opens a secret door in the wall, having the gem fragment inside.[/SPOILER]

Also, Mortal Monkey, Castor 1's stats are different than the final Castor. Ex. Flee, has alot of hit points so he does not die for a loong time, and runs to the point after so much % is taken off, so therefore, if I were to just teleport him, the hitpoints would be random (due to how many times the player hits him/how much damage is taken, and also you can hit him as he is running and would alter the final hitpoints for the final battle) and it would almost be impossible for an even match both fights.

Well, true that. But you could give him normal HP and put the flee condition in a metaprop, then hope for the best. Could make for a bit of alternate endings too.
