Wow! First time in the entirety of Thief that I can think of that there was a true use for the Scouting Orb!!

Very nice mission!

Great mission. At first I thought I was going to hate it. But the second I read that book! Oh boy! Creepiest FM I have every played.

A very late answer, but glad you liked it :)

Your missions are always such an eye-candy, beltzer! I hate the undead, but I´m still playing through this one, cause it looks so amazing! :D

Now I need some help though: I can´t figure out the number for the code of the red scroll. I figured out the others, but the red one doesn´t make sense to me:

37 - 41 + 15 - x + 34 = 36 / = 37 - 90 - - 89 = 36 ... so the solution would be -89. How can that be?! Where do I go wrong?

Thanks Samantha, glad you liking it.
The red is 37-41+15-x+34=36.
So the X is 9 :)

You made mistake in your math: -41+15+34=-41+49=8

All right, I have absolutely no idea how I could get that wrong! It was so super easy :laff:

So with this I just finished and gotta say I really loved it! :D The architecture, the music, the design of the castle, the pictures, everything was such an eye- and earcandy! :D
I had a funny bug too btw: I was able to jump onto the top of the maze and just walked above it right to the chess piece! :cheeky: I don´t know why I always have such convenient bugs in your missions, beltzer! :joke:

Thank you very much for this awesome fanmission! :)

Thanks again :)
I have never heard of someone who made it up on them. But you somehow made it, good for you :)

I'm stuck here.

I have found one chess piece in the maze. I didn't find the other one.

I have only found one thing that looked like a safe. This thing was in the starting world, in a room that is not accessible in the undead world.

I have read that there is a way to go back to the starting world. The note here says that there is a book in the chapel. However in the chapel in the undead world there is no book on the altar. (I have the book from the guy in the chapel. But reading it doesn't bring me back to the starting world.)

There are at least three doors where I miss the keys. They are all near the stairs. One is in the attic (the door where I heard someone bumping when I arrived the first time. I have read that a haunt should have this key. However the only haunt with a key was one of the two patroulling near the chapel, and this key opened the music room.

I don't find a room with two fireplaces.

I play version 1.0 of the game, and I play on difficultly Normal.

Can you help?

Actually I only have two keys:
The key to the entrance from the basement. And the key to the music room (that one that's looking like a violin-key).

I have read something about a scouting orb. I don't have it. Where do I get it?

I have seen the child only once. Later I have heard some shouts but not seen who has shouted.

I have taken the Magic sword. Is it better than the normal sword?

Is the master bedroom that one where a zombie lies in the bed?

Is there an ability to remove the wood planks that block many doors?
