It's definitely possible. As the author, my best time is about 2 minutes. The fastest I've seen post-release is 9 seconds. :D

20 minutes and 35 Loot was my best. As Lady Marjorie was making such contented sounds I did climb back in after they'd returned to the corridor and crept as far as the bed before being chased out again. :D
Edit: After a total time of 57 mins I climbed from the bottom back up to the top (clearly not on expert) increasing my loot to 40, health intact (so far) appreciating how cleverly designed every edge and ledge, overhang and obstacle is. Terrific craftsmanship. Thank you!!! Lord T was in the doorway with his back to me when I crept in, so I went over close to Lady M. One of the henchman is partially in sight so I can't quite get back get onto the bed without being seen. But the night is still young. :ebil:
Continuing the counter objective ...
I managed to get on other side of Lady M and nudge her (with a view to pushing her on to the floor out of sight) but get spotted each time and killed before escaping.
After that things turned very sinister and in a crime of passion I killed my love (it was an accident) and carried her body down 3 levels outside before falling. Not a joint-suicide as Lady M hadn't given her opinion and it might have been more dramatic if I'd jumped from the top.
Edit:
Thankfully Lady M is alive and well again and I killed the bowman. He doesn't have arrows you can take nor did he hit any woodwork when aiming at me (he's too good a shot) so I can't get rid of the others. But with him dead you can move to top of wardrobe or top of door and if you go onto the bed they keep right away, at one stage all 3 even left the room. Lady M could also be moved to “sitting” on edge of bed and even across floor towards the table, but once you get off the bed the others rush back in, so not much future in it. It looks like staying on bed with Lady M and ringing for room service is the answer. :cheeky:

It's a nice fun mission to play on one's lunch break, but (like the author says in the readme) that's all. I wish there was something more than "get down as fast as you can without dying" to this level. A few additional obstacles (such as archers) or hidden nooks and crannies with loot would make it more enjoyable and challenging. Thanks for the mission, however.

I thought about adding some extra guards, but I decided not to because I didn't want people to get distracted trying to sneak around playing it properly.

Top to bottom and back to top. Should be easy to beat my poor 57 minutes. :D Then find a way to get safely back on the bed with Lady M. Spoiler
(https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151423&p=2476168&viewfull=1#post2476168) Counter objectives. Maybe not on Expert. :tsktsk:

A very funny and minigame-like mission. It would be interesting if it is possible to speedrun speedfall this vertical mission :joke:
Well, anyway I had half an hour full of fun - thank you!

Found 63/100 loot on my first try with a time of about 8 minutes. Got my time down to 19 secs after many more attempts and many broken legs.
You could subtitle this mission "Fall, Thief! ...Fall!" :p
