And I really liked it. Not my normal style of play; I had to knock out every guard in the place and kill some "zombors". But I really enjoy missions that start out being one thing, then transform into something completely other.
Some of the puzzles (the gold plate, for example) were a little obscure; others, such as the mirror of truth, were pretty straightforward. But all in all, I didn't need to check that many things here on TTLG!
I only took damage twice: the first time while fighting the zombie and the black monster which appear in Alexi's room when you read the scroll, and the second time when I read the Master's book: he appeared right behind me, already shooting -- but that was the only shot he got on me. I ran like hell for the drop-off to my left, hit the lower floor, then hid and waited for him to calm down. Then, a few minutes later, I returned the favor.
After all that buildup, the "Master" went down like a strawberry malt. I backstabbed him with a full overhead, then hit him one more time in the back before he reacted -- and he crumbled like an Oreo cookie that got trodden on. Yeesh, what a girlie-man!
I thought I was doing pretty good to rack up about 11,000g worth of loot... but then I discovered that there's actually 15,469g in the mission! I somehow managed to miss over five thousand gold worth of loot... oy. Some thief I turned out to be.
Whatever, a lot of fun, right up there with Calendra's Cistern -- and far superior to the OMs for Thief Gold, I might add :thumb: !

I'm having technical problems with this FM. I boot it up with DarkLoader, select the difficulty, click 'The Mystery Man' to start, and I pop outside a hedge maze. I go looking around and a guard spots me. He runs up to me and...lights up. I frob him and I pick up a corpse. I throw it down and there is a live guard sticking out of the ground running for me. I take a few hits, have a heart attack....and am able to run around. I gather up the 12 or so guards I saw and ran around for 5 minutes, before growing bored and coming here to ask for help. Any ideas?

I believe you are runnig TDP and are missing the file "convict.osm" . Look in the FAQ above for where to find it.
:sly:

Thanks, that was it.
I could swear I put that in there when I started playing TDP FMs...oh well.

No problem mate. MM was the first FM I played and I had the same problem. :)

I'm glad you got this little bug fixed.
I think you'll enjoy Mystery Man.
It's one of my very favorite TDP fan missions.
Very, very cool. Enjoy!

I am stuck in the Mystery man thief 1 mission. Is there a walkthrough somewhere? I have all the loot I need but don't know how to find other items. I also don't have access to western tower, treasury, etc. Thanks for any help.

I've got the golden plate and the "the song of the shadow" and I just don't what to do with them.
I also have to find fire and water talisman, where are them?
Please, may you help me?
PS: (I'm playing in "expert" level)
