This doesn't bode well.
...and I read downwinder's post suggesting fire arrows are good for things elsewhere. And I have the explosive device and nothing to detonate with. There is nothing special to do with the explosive charge or fire arrows. They are provided only for your haunt-killing pleasure. No limited-use items are required to complete the mission.

an upper small garden with a semi-submerged door with a big x on it, was almost sure to break it with the explosive charge and find something behind but was not the case :cheeky:

@ Klatremus
I've just finished making a lootlist for this mission, which was not easy, if your still missing any loot PM me what you have found I give you some pointers as to where to seek the rest.

First I thought "Oh no, not another daylight mission", but it turned out to be dark enough. The mission was creepy and complex enough, excellent crafted with the original Thief1 feeling!

I'm huge fan of the way the spaces are arranged in your missions, Schlock. All areas have something close to miniatures, lego sets, dollhouses, dioramas, and such - where illusion of space is created inside forms that initially wouldn't makes sense. Combined with all the little jokes, nonsense and spooks in details, creates excellent visually missions.
Hard to choose fave situation/place in this mission. There are few and none of them are brilliant to share. Without context of contest, I had a fun time playing it.

Mission completed with full loot and i must say it was an extremely enjoyable ride, great locales and magnificent atmosphere. A bit of sadness caught me when i pressed the quit button as unfortunately missions like these are not common.
Until now clear contest winner in my judgement.

@fortuni: I will go through the mission again later today to look for remaining loot, was busy this morning. Didn't look at schlocks list to avoid direct spoilers. I'll PM you my current loot list once it's as complete as I can get it.
@wycha: You perfectly put into words what I was thinking. Schlock has a humorous tendency to alter objects and textures to almost fit, but not entirely. It makes you uneasy yet amused at the same time. Items are displayed in unnatural ways, too big or too small, or sometimes distorted. It's weird but intriguing at the same time. My favorite part oddly enough was the floor pattern in the haunted house. It was tiled, but seemed skewed and angled in a strange way. Attractive and provocative.
Your style definitely is my cup of tea, Schlock.

Thanks guys. To give credit where it's due, a lot of the cool little details in this mission were done by squadarofl (as I said in the readme, for instance he came up with the individualized zombie outfits in the mines). We both like doing weird details like that, but it was by helping him out with Into the Odd that I learned how to do it.
and @klatremus: to give you the spoiler-free version of some important info from my last post: in the beta there was a bug where a piece of loot worth 100 could disappear permanently. I think we fixed it, but if you get down to the last 100 don't spend too much time searching because it's possible that the bug slipped by in a rarer form.

This is an amazing mission, and the very definition of "best use of space." I'm sure if I played through again tomorrow, I'd still find a bunch of new stuff. I have no idea how I missed 1200 in loot.
Was there any specific usage for the Explosive Device?
