I really am starting to get rather annoyed with this level. It's not the size and the scope of it that's the problem, if anything I'm rather enjoying it, it's that parts of the bloody loot keeps wandering about from place to place all the time. Is there anyone out there that actually really enjoyed this level?
I've nabbed Cavador and have got him to the square with all the Mechanists and alarms so all I have to do is drink an invisibility and speed potion and I can run straight across and out the exit. The problem is that I'm still 50 gold short of the full total (not counting the gem that you can't get.) I've checked with the loot map and I'm fairly certain that I've got all the stationary stuff so there must be a purse out there somewhere. Can anyone give me any help on where the Mechanists with purses wander to and from since I know I've collected some of them but can't remember which ones now. Thanks.

Presumably, this is the problem:
"The Loot Bug
Q: I am always 50 gold short of the total loot amount - where is that last piece of gold?
A: This is a known bug in this level (much like the known loot bug in "Running Interference"). It seems that a gemstone worth 50 gold is buried under a rock - several feet under in fact. This makes it impossible to access, so you will always be 50 loot short of the total. <sigh> Looking Glass made another boo-boo ... but we'll forgive them. :-)"

Uh, yeah. :)

Well no luck so far. Finally got frustrated enough that I resorted to using the loot map to double checked and I
have collected all the stationary treasure so it's just a single 50 gold purse out there somewhere now. So now I get to go look for it as a break from family. :)
Of the purses that are carried by people I've already collected the one on the Hammerite on the ground floor of Site 5, the one on the female Hammerite with the crossbow that walks through the back entrance of the theatre (down the metal steps) and out the front, the purses on the two Hammerites and the female mage that walk around as a group together down the long passage that comes out near the entrance to Site 4 but turn left going under the raised mine cart rails/track and up the hill to the back entrance of the theatre, and the purse on one of the three Hammerites that walk along the passageway from the direction of Site 1 through the building made of purple bricks (west of the obelisk in the main square you start in) and the walk through the houses towards Site 7.

So does anyone with any knowledge of this level have any suggestion on where that elusive final purse with 50 gold in it might be? Other than that I'll probably just have to brute force it - save the game and then run around knocking absolutely everyone out and hope I run across it eventually. Any help would therefore be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

Hammerites?

Perhaps you've fallen victim to that intermittent bug where the moneypouch disappears completely if you pick up the body without first grabbing the pouch?

Hammerites/Mechanists, same difference. :)

Really? Haven't heard about that before. Gods I hope not or this is going to be really annoying then. With this bug if you re-load from an earlier save will the purse be back again or what?
