A terrific mission. I bow my thanks to the author.
i have almost completed but one goal - loot. I now have 3174 only 16 gold short May anyone hint at some easily missed items? Any help will be much welcomed.

Fabulous mission.
I love the tower-top, as well as the show outside the cells. Nice touches, sublimely creepy in what is a pretty much straight up city-mission (well, a courtyard mission, if I were being honest.)
Excellent use of architecture and space, excellent use of sound, and some very nice little twists.
Now to track down the other secrets - I've only found the one thus far, very unlike me.

Is there a loot list? It seems I visited every spot but I'm short of something more than 100..........

I agree with everyone that this is an excellent, A-1 mission. Thanks to the author. It gave me two evenings of great game play. I really liked the 3-D navigation puzzles, the architecture, the details. The AI patrols were perfectly timed.
I just ghosted it and got all the secrets, but I am missing 100 loot in my ghost run. In a BJ run last night I got a little more loot, still missing over 50. I guess I need to do another BJ run from this point and take notes.
There was one thing that bothered me about this mission when ghosting. Mantling up onto the first, eye-level ledge of the tower (also accessible with difficulty by stairs from the shop) was a pain. The sloping walls prevented a straight mantle, and a jump mantle was hard to do without making foot noise and alerting someone. Many reloads were needed to preserve the ghost mode. If you BJ the AI, of course, this is not an issue - just walk up the stairs from the shop.
As for getting onto the old lady's balcony, I used a rope arrow two ways. Both required accessing the beam across from the large balcony with the goblet, which I reached by jumping from a 3rd floor window in the notary building and walking around a ledge. One way was to jump from the rope to the barred window opposite the lady's ledge and then from there to the balcony. That was pretty easy. A trickier way involved careful placement of the rope so it went down close to the balcony, twisting down the rope above the balcony, and dropping directly down to the balcony edge. I could never make the jump from below. Since this is a fairly tricky move maybe there should have been loot in there. Or did I miss it?

smithpd, I think there was a single vase as the only loot in that particular location.

Thank you so much, Nightwalker!
It seems I've collected all, but I'm at 3144..........:rolleyes:
I'll give it up for a while and then will come back with fresh mind......;)
