That guy with the lantern really had me hot and bothered for a while. But the frogbeast and a frontal attack with my sword made him silent for ever more. :sly:

Thanks Turi.

Did I mentioned that I hate walking over pipes?
No well I do now.

Nice idea to blew him up. But I dont think I've any fire-arrows??
I managed two alternative methods, because I really wanted to get his key pickpocket.

First I run-jumped from outside through the broken window right into the room were he is hiding. He's out in second - I turned round and jumped out of the window again. He followed to the window shouting and waveing to me, but remained standing there looking outside. I could run into the house sneak behind him, steal the key and bj him.

Second way I opened the door right in front of him, ran through the room and jumped out of the broken window. This time he ran out of the house to catch me outside. Running counterclockwise around the building I managed to hide in the shadows near the front door. Once he returned I crawl-sneaked behind him got key and bj. Indeed I've had lots of luck to get the right timing so that the archers did not see me running and jumping around. They are a pain in the a.. up there.

BTW did anyone managed to jump / climb up to the watch-towers they are in? Only one time accidentally I could jump onto one wall hide in the shadows and bj one. Trying this again I never ever managed again to mantle up there.

Even though I can technically finish this FM, there are a lot of things (I think) left undone or not pursued.

1. The guard with the lantern, who was following close behind another dude, disappeared behind a closed off entranceway, located behind a tower on the north side (note on locked door from Bulon). Both of them are on the other side because I can hear them, and if I get too close to the wooden entrance/exit (the right side one as you face the locked door of the tower) I get chopped by a sword and swore at.
Is this a flaw or do I have access to that area?

2. East of the gallows there is a cubby corner hugging the church. There is a high iron fence preventing access and on the other side of that fence, there is a hole in the ground with what looks to be a gas arrow and a skull. I think the other side of that area is the cemetary. I can't seem to find my way there and it might be because I can't get through to that section on the north side of the cemetary.

3. While I'm in the cemetary, there is a very enticing open plot in the south east corner, spewing colored smoke and looking as if there's an opening beneath the ground. I tried hacking my way through. There's a mask nearby, but you can't frob it.

4. Also at the church, there is a rope arrow that leads up to the steeple, but I can only climb so far. The ledge that circumnavigates the inside of the church doesn't lead anywhere or have any loot to nab (that I could find)

5. In the central part of the FM, accessed initially from way high up, with the stairway going down around the massive chimney, you come to a room protected by a guard, which appears to be a dining room (the other rooms are bedrooms). There are two locked doors in there. Music plays on the other side. I've got 5 keys and not one of them opens those doors.

To top it all off, I end the level with 50/1200 loot. For that, and all the unanswered questions, I give myself an F+ (the + is for easily taking care of the creep behind the red curtains who made the mistake of startling me)

1. It can be... but I don't know how.

2. There is no gasarrow, and you can't get there. This part of the cemetary is only scenery in this mission.

3.The mask and the strait hole are only scenery. If you can't frob it, you don't need it. There are more places in the original game too, you can't get in.

4.The ledge can help you to steal the key of Bulon.

5.There are more key's in my mission than 5.

Where is the person you have to shoot the abortin arrow at? An earlier message said she is on a balcony but where?

Here are some good views of that sister Julia and her abode... :ebil: :cheeky:

Plus, on Clock's #3 question, at that grave is where [SPOILER]a "nickel" of gold is found right at its edge.[/SPOILER] I found a total of 1195/1200, so anyone else [SPOILER]find where that other 5 gold piece (assuming that's it) was?[/SPOILER]

And how do you make these spoiler tags *not* create a new line!? :)

That makes my loot total now 60/1200. I've since left this FM. It marks my most dismal failure yet. I somehow found a nickel gold coin, which " may" be the one you're missing, but I don't recall where I picked it up.

btw, is that water tower of any importance??

Well, Clock, if you've nicked the key from the Harry Potter-ish character with his heel-dog metalhead guard, then you've got the key to [SPOILER] most of the loot in this mission! That's the key (a gold one) that works to the right door in that sleeping-guarded area, the one with the repeating music coming out of it. Then in there, a keyring to the next door with its booze stash! [/SPOILER] I think that, then, will give you all the loot! I replayed the mission enough to figure out where that key came from so I could tell you, so mebbe you can refigure where you got that other nickel gold coin from, Clock? :thumb: Or if somebody just remembers right off the bat, all the better...!

Oh yeah, the water tower is nothing special, except to dive into for safe return to near-ground level, especially from up here: :ebil:

Those pics are awfully dark; I thought I had my gamma cranked...

Edit: Eesh, now my hand-lightening of them just made 'em look crappy... :(

That explains an awful lot. If you scoot up a bit to that lengthy itemized message I posted and look at item #1, I mentioned that the guard (and the dude with him) disappeared. If I walk up to where I can hear them (and see the light from the lantern) I get cursed at and chopped at, though there is a wooden closure separating us.

Looks like I'll have to re-play the mission.

I didn't save enough times to find out where I got the coin you may be needing. I do know that I found it since I first posted that message, because at the time my loot total was 50. Right now I'm immersed in Shadow Of Doubt, but I'll do a quick tour of this FM and hope that something triggers my memory. I appreciate your efforts. They explained why I'm having such trouble.
