http://i.imgur.com/CYPljmM.jpgThe fisheries have had a bad year. Unemployed roam the streets and crowd the pubs. The merchants sleep with one eye open and keep a tight grip on their property amid the unrest. A thief, even a skilled thief like myself, has a hard time finding good, worthwhile work.I began looking for more... unusual tasks. I set my eyes on Thornton Hall, remote and cut off from the outside world. These outlying manors are difficult to find, let alone reach, but they're bound to hold precious trinkets and family heirlooms untouched by anyone. Not few are said to be haunted by one dreadful apparition or another. But it's common for the lords themselves to spread these rumours, to keep unwanted visitors away.This mission is in two parts. Once you're done with the first, on to the next.

NoteIn response to a question about the relation of this mission to One Step Too Far:This mission started its life as a standalone mission for a Halloween contest, so it takes place in a different setting and begins with its own story. There is, however, a strong link that'll become apparent during the mission. From a mapping perspective it contains areas and ideas that I had originally intended for Of Brambles and Thorns, which is the bonafide sequel, but realised that they wouldn't have space there anymore. So this could be described as being neither sequel nor prequel, but certainly a part of the series that began with One Step Too Far.

:thumb: Very interesting fm, original, I've loved the atmosphere, a little complicated sometimes (Find the hidden key in the church), I've enjoyed it! Thank you Dragofer!

Loving it so far, but I'm stuck. I went through the trapdoor in the farmhouse basement, now I'm outside, but there's nothing in the area and nowhere to go

Azaran, on the East side of the house, behind barriers, watch the ground carefully.
Azaran on 27/9/2016 at 19:49
Thanks! After that, how do I get onto the next part? I have to escape, but I scoured the whole place and can't find a way out
Athalle on 27/9/2016 at 21:03
You've found the inheritance, have you read it? After that, another "flask" will appear for teleportation
Azaran on 27/9/2016 at 21:36
Gah! Silly me. Thanks

Wow, that was a really cool mission. Definitely a lot more content than I expected. Great atmospheres and environments too. Good job, Dragofer, and thanks!
