The objective update in Songs of the Caverns is really rigged.
On expert difficulty it is completely legal to kill that one bowman in the tower.
Then you proceed through the caves, fight the Craymen and finally find the homeless guy who gives you the key and the opera map.
But sadly, your mission ends here if you took out the bowman. Because when Garrett decides to rob the opera house, a no-kill-objective appears and boom - Garrett violated his own "moral standards".
Slaughtering all the mages in the Lost City who probably only wanted to make sure the fire talisman is still there was morally acceptable for Garrett anyway.

I just saw today whileplaying an FM that T2 haunts run slower than T1 ones, about as fast as a regular Hammerite. Not sure why I never noticed it before. They also seem slightly less alert. Wonder why LG slowed them down?
So they're less of a threat since you can actually outrun them
They're just as dangerous and fast in combat as the originals so you still want to avoid a direct confrontation at all costs, unless you have flashbombs.
PS: I also went back to the Eavesdropping OM to double check in case it was FM specific, and indeed they are slower there too

Now that I think of it, maybe it had to do with removing bunny hopping. Slow down the haunts to give Garrett a chance.
But then, the assassins were still insanely fast if I remember

to the best of my belief, this ancient hammerite priest model was used on one of the dead hammerite priest corpses in the rttc/thc mission. My inquisitve mind keep inquiring about why this ancient hammerite priest model is heavily underused in FM and languishing in obscurity...
