LOL! It's hard to keep track of the paintings in this one, because they're in different locations on each difficulty setting. I think I know which one you were thinking of. :)

How can I get into the study room of the Lord? I have got all keys and talismans.

And are there any clues to the study room?

But what is the reason to keep the north wing locked at night?

I am playing on expert.

Thank you

Is anybody here to help me?

Thank you

To the right of the study doors there's a window what can be opened. Get out on to the ledge and use a rope arrow to get inside the attic of the building in front of you. There's a note on some boxes that should tell how to open the study door.

The north wing door is locked at night to stop thieves from entering.... obviously it didn't work ;)

Yes, you are totally right :)

So glad you didn`t wait until Thief 3, RiCh E. Those screens shots looks like you have two very diverse masterpieces in the works. Are they standalones or part of a new campaign? :D :thumb:

Hi DreamWalker, If I ever get chance to finish them (big IF) they'll be stand alone FM's. At the moment I can't seem to find much time to work on them :mad: I'll have to start stealing some from somewhere? ;)

Hiya,

I recently returned to my Thief games after a looong break (years, even). Which in turn led me back to the TTLG network and into the world of fan missions. It actually made me start toying with DromEd, as well.... (introduction thing.. "hi all")

Saw this thread bumped up and it made me download and play Art of Thievery and .. it's just an amazing mission. Of all the FMs I've played so far (my list is already quite long), it's the one that really made me think I was playing an official mission. It's just gorgeous, it lets you find your own route, the right amount of secrets, challenges, loot...

Only finished on EaSy so far (I'm still a bit rusty), but with all objectives checked (except pickpockets.. never was any good at that, I'm more of a "KO first, loot later" kind of guy). Many hours of pure thief gameplay, and a happy but exhausted thief here.. Thank you Rich for this mission, and consider this another plea that you find time to finish your other projects ;)

Sorry for raving about an "old" mission, since I'm pretty sure all of you played this over a year ago, but it was just too good.. I had to give praise :)

Aren't you glad you discovered FMs? :) There are always people discovering the gems, like Art and so it's always a good time to tell the creator how much you enjoyed playing them. It's one of my favourites, too, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what RiCh produces next. :)

Okay, I have run through all of the level, and I havent found the Mechanist Lord yet, and the only places I have not been to the north wing or the church, because the doors are locked, and they dont even highlight when I go near them so I can´t try to open them. I have gotten everything but that damn belt.
