I found it impossible to jump onto the transformers that's why I ended up using a couple of sacks found in the south house below Humprey's mansion balcony.
IIRC, it's also possible to do it without getting on top of the transformers first, you just need to be a bit accurate with a diagonal jump.
I mean, everybody knows that diagonal jumps go farther than ones straight forward, right? Right??? :)

I've completed this mission few days ago on expert taking my time and ghosting as much as I could so my final in-game time was over 6 hours.
I love its structure - linear for the most part with more branches opening up as you go, and with a really clever and intricate level design which sometimes made me feel confused anyway. It was great to come back to the starting area after exploring half of the map, but this time looking at it from a completely different perspective high on the rooftops.
The atmosphere was very good overall but it was especially strong after ringing the bells and at the garden part. Seeing the statues from the thumbnail for the first time gave me chills.
The side-stories were pretty interesting, giving some insight into the nobility living in the area. The highlight though definitely was realizing majority of the readables I've collected are connected to one and the same event :O
Sadly the mission is unfortunately missing a proper ending. The party was so neatly set up, especially with Cutty's list but it ends up being underwhelming and the conclusion feels rushed. I'm guessing the time-constraint is the main culprit here.
Despite that it's still probably my favorite mission from the contest.

Great (if extremely challenging) mission.
I've now completed it at Hard after over 3 hours.
A couple questions I still haven't figured out:
[SPOILER]Where do I use the jail key to get to Pud and free him? Hints given thus far haven't worked for me.
And, (possibly) related to that:
How to do I break into Cistern Court (get into the area behind the still-closed gate)?
[/SPOILER]
Update: Figured out Cistern Court. There's a high area you reach from a semi-hidden Hammer area where there's a roof you climb over as a route that eventually leads you to Rose Garden. Put that roof behind you; you're facing a court from high above and a nobleman's apartment across the way. You'll need two rope arrows to safely make it down, but you can make it down. It gives me access to Cistern Court and exactly one locked door I don't have a key for.

Your questions are connected. The jail is next to the Master Forger's residence. Also note that this sub-objective is a fairly hard one.

I've gone from enjoying this, to being frustrated, to enjoying it again, to now being completely baffled.
I got to what I think is the Rose Garden, only to enter some sort of inn with haunts and what seems to be an indestructible ghost-burrick. I have no idea where I am, haven't 'met my contact' and have no idea what the hell is going on.
I haven't seen any trace of any of the tasks/missions others are talking about. Can someone perhaps give me a clue as to what I've missed? Have I done things in the wrong order?

@Demilich666 Just keep going up in that inn and at the end of a hallway you'll find a locked door.

The ghost burrick (and the other ghost, and the zombie) can all be defeated with holy water. One shot and the ghost burrick goes down! :thumb:- prjames

Congratulations to vfig, the first player outside the original testing group to find the thing! :D
