I'd love to help, oldgeezer, but I'm not sure exactly where you are. Are you in the Lord's study trying to open the safe?? If you are, then <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><div style="background-color:#000080"><font color="#202080">The safe key should be on the Lord, who is standing in the room.</font></div></blockquote><br />If that's not where you are, could you be a little more specific. There are several "big wheel" things in this one. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I just found a minor bug. DON'T DROP THE JEWELLED SWORD after you pick it up. If you do, you won't be able to pick it up again and you can't finish the mission. I was playing on expert difficulty, if that matters.

Wow! I never came across that one in beta testing. Thanks for posting a warning, Brian_R170. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Nightwalker :<br /> Hello again -- I need the sword ? Been all over and the only thing I haven't been able to open is a safe in a room with a platform in the big wheel. The room has several big wheels and I got to it by climbing a rope arrow from the library floor below. You also can get to this room from the house next door's attic ???? <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Well, I finished it on HaRd last night, and it was quite a treat! <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> A very big house indeed, full of cool stuff. I KO'd 89 unfortunates myself, and fulfilled every bonus except that I only found 8 of 12 secrets. Hmm.

I started earlier this evening on GhOsT level and I can see that it's going to be very nerveracking to get through this at this level, what with all those guards with big eyes and ears, all those noisy click-clack floors and Garrett wearing his tap heels to work as usual! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Nightwalker on 11/12/2001 at 03:57

That's definitely the Lord's study, oldgeezer. The key to the safe should be where I said in my post before, if you are playing on Hard. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Just an incredible FM here...I've been playing it for the past 3 hours. I like in the readme...the author was inspired by the manssion in Clive barker's Undying, and you can tell. Big, grandious staircases, great hallways, the works!

One question...how do I get into the library?

One more question...The camera room on the first floor has a ladder going up what looks like 3 floors. Are there other entrrances to these camera rooms? I found a different security room on the second floor but I noticed that there was no ladder going through the middle of the floor.

Great mission...better than the 7th Crys IMHO.
