I let the Fire Shadow kill the lord and the killing objective didn't tick of for me.

Usually, if an objective requires you to kill someone, you have to kill someone. ;)

I disagree. First of all, the objective says something like "Rid yourself of Lord...", and not "kill...". I rid myself of him without any blood on my hands.
Secondly, the correct way to do this is to have the death of the person trigger the completion of the objective, like almost every
other FM out there which requires you to kill someone.

Well ok, maybe this is my fault then. But I thought "Kill Lord ..." sounds to harsh and doesn't fit the Thief style...

This is some kind of problem with the DarkEngine. Just two days ago I realized in my own FM where you were not allowed to kill anyone, that you can kill everyone you like without screwing the objective.
Just knock them out and throw them into the water. This will not count as kill although it kills your victim :tsktsk:
Now I thought myself: if I play an FM which requires my to kill someone, I would use the water-method because it makes very few noises. But playing it this way, I might not complete the objective because it doesn't count as killed by myself. I should check it with DromEd...

AFAIK, if you toss an unconscious body into water and the AI dies by drowning, it usually counts as a kill. If this is not the case, you must have done something weird. But you could always try to get the AIs into the water by themselves, which will count as an accident. Also you can kill an AI by throwing a hammer at them, which will usually not count as a kill and even worse, the noise won't alert any AI.

I think I've used the usual way:
kill creature -14
If you shoot them with arrows or attack them with your sword and kill them in doing so, it counts as kill and the mission fails. As expected.

But it makes no difference whether Garrett kills them personally or they meet their maker some other way, the end result is the same. :cheeky:

Well, at least for them, that's for sure. :D
In terms of mission objectives in Dromed and Thief, it does make a difference, though.

At Southquarter, The Hideout is incorrectly labeled as a T2 FM.

I appear to be the only one who's gotten stuck in this. :o I'm in the bedroom and there's a locked door. I can't pick it open so there must be a key but I can't find it. Help poor blind me?? :tsktsk:
