Thank you for playing!
And special thanks for detailed report. It is always interesting to know how players (not testers!) do different things.
You explained one secret trigger fail, OK, but you've said that game reports about 4 from 7. Two secrets rest. Can you say which of them was not triggered?
About alternative way to Clegg's: yes, it was planned as alternative way... no, rather as main way, camvator was alternative one. Nevertheless, it would be curious to know how you find this way.
And last. Unfortunately adding any more objectives is just impossible. If you noticed (you should to!), you've started without any objective. Remember the white square opposite objectives in OM and FM? I just painted it black to make invisible objective (empty text string) completely invisible. Illusion should be perfect.
So, if I have more than one objective at once, any player will notice that there is no empty white squares on objective screen. So there is only one objective (or less) every time: no loot goal, no 'no kill' (at least it was not written anywhere), no return.
Anyway, the idea was not to complete a mission returning to your room, but stop this dream within a dream at once when you get the Mirror.

Thanks, Zontik! No, I don't think I can tell you for certain which other two secrets didn't trigger for me...I can say for sure, tho, that the Frob's attic one and the diamond on the sewer basement upper ledge did, and that the aforementioned one didn't.
The main way into Clegg's: Well, I see after looking it over carefully that there is only one possible way to manage to get into Clegg's via the trapdoor on the adjacent building, and that's via the balcony on that building that juts out toward the power station, which is the way I did it.
And here's a rarity: Where I play a mission all over again just after finishing it the first time. I almost never do that, but I did with yours! :) That time, all secrets triggered, and the camvator never would finish completely (you'll recall it worked perfectly the first time I tried it on the first run at the mission, but I did it late into the mission when all who could be knocked out were already). Sometimes I could jump off the camvator--if forward, then I was free to run about--if backward, I was stuck in that spot until the guards saw me and killed me. But, no matter what, the drunk would stagger only as far as the gate arch, then just stand there doing his drunk routine. And if I didn't try to jump off the camvator, I'd be stuck up against that gate wall above the drunk when it ended.
A very minor bug I noticed on the second play of the mission: concerning the rat/ring thing, I knocked the cheese away again with a dead rat, all the way to a corner of the room, but no matter what, the mouse would not give up the ring-- UNTIL I SHOT the cheese at least once with a broadhead.
OK, that should do it... again, great mission, and hope you can get all the myriad of issues brought up by me and others put to rest. Cheers!

How do I get in the SAFE???? I'm playing on hard, cant' find the mold to make the key either??? Can anyone help??? Figured out the multi mold thing, still wondering about the other thing.

Maybe you've mixed different things?
Mold is not in Clegg's office, it's in Glasscutters' hideout. Go directly through the stainglass nearby the forge. Don't feel disappointed, Glasscutters work with glass for ages, they can make almost impossible things with it.
As for the safe in Clegg's office, you can just picklock it. Wait for the pause while captain is not looking at you... but anyway, you don't need it for the walkthrough.

I knew the mold wasn't in clegg's office.....It was 2 different questions.....should have made that clear. I'm in the glassworks, took care of both guys and have looked in both rooms, can't find mold anywhere? I did find the
secret way, so don't need the key anyway I'm sure i tried my lockpicks on the safe, but headed back to try again. thanks.

The mirror can be in several locations. I don't know if every location needs the same action, but I found it in the guild of those mages or what they were, and had to turn out the lights in that area by making use of the power station.

There are 3 places:

http://picpaste.com/screenshot1_edited-2-QhPqg5ir.jpgThere is a lever under the staircase in Frob's dining room. When you use it, a door opens somewhere, but I can't seem to locate it.
I have taken a shot of the location, but I can't get the picture to show up in this message. The "insert image" button directs you to post a URL of the pic, which I uploaded to Picpaste. Is this not the right way to insert a picture onto a message?
But the most important thing is for someone to reveal what that lever opens :)
