That's too bad, Footpad! You're probably right, though. There have been a couple of missions that my computer really didn't do well with, too, but it's truly a shame to not be able to finish this one in particular because it is so outstanding.

Is it possible to get into the "attic" on the easy level? I'm a bit confused about the "Lord's Library, and Lord's Study" that were referenced in an earlier post, so I'm guessing that they might be in the North Wing.<br />Someone was asking about getting on the roof: I don't think it's possible. I spent an hour attempting it in several different locations.

All those things are in the North Wing, which you can't access on Easy. They're only available on Hard and Expert. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I made it to the Captain's Bedroom and something odd happened. He rotates around and looks right at me, luckily I am in shadow. I scrolled through my inventory and throw a flashbomb at him. It doesn't appear to go off, but he does the little dazed dance so I run up and sap' em. He's sleeping, but I get to pick up the flashbomb I threw earlier. A Bug? I start looking at the room and notice the light switch next to the door - DOH.:confused:

I don't really care, but it seems my old public name is no longer available to me with the changes in the forum. I have been away for about a month, so maybe its just a time thing. In any event, It looks like I have a lot of FM's to catch up on. Nightwalker, Thanks for all the spoiler in the Art of Thievery. (Hits the print button on the notepad document file he's compiled.) Probably will still take me another 4 hours to complete that mission, but its worth it.:D

That's a very strange sounding but, cbnicholson! I've been able to pick up arrows before after they've been used. Not broadheads, etc., but gas arrows, water arrows etc., but never flashbombs. I've usually found that something like that doesn't reoccur when I go back through a mission again, but I'm not a techie, so I have no idea what makes it occur in the first place. I'm glad you were able to find the help you needed in this thread. :)

Holy .........smokes - awesome awesome AWESOME FM dude. Right up there with T7C, Calendra's Cistern, Inverted Manse. I just hope that the Thief III team played this one to get more ideas off you. Great stuff.:D

I believe I have made it back to the Lord's room area (finally). Just a couple of observations. 1. I was unable to get to the roof of the mansion despite my best efforts. and 2. Spoiler ahead (really need to reread how to post spoilers with the changes) Is it possible at all to break the window next to the painting of Kharas? I tried , but no luck with broadheads, sap, or sword. I jumped down to the window and wound up like a bug under glass, couldn't move, with the guard doing a search, had to quickload.

I'm not sure which window you mean, but I don't think the windows are breakable in this mission, though I'm not sure.

As for the spoiler code, the only way I've found to do it is the old way I used before they installed the spoiler button. Type: [font style="color:white;background-color:white] type the text here that you want to hide Replace the [ and] with < and > to make it work.

Has anyone gotten all of the loot for this mission? I'm ghosting through it on expert, and I've completed all objectives, but I'd like to be thorough before I go.

[SPOILER]I've already done the "Indiana Jones" thing in the Shrine Room, and I discovered that "special" blue vase in the 2nd floor hallway South of the Garden Courtyard.[/SPOILER]

Anything else that doesn't look like loot/involves a puzzle/is really non-obvious?
