Very nice and beautiful mission.
Thank you very much for this gem!
I am afraid I totally busted the mission, although I can not imagine how I did it.
I have all objectives checked except for 'Don't kill anyone' and 'Leave the area'.
And even got 1111 loot on Expert. Yet, there is no place where the mission will end.
I have been to both 'Exit' areas indicated on the map and pretty much everywhere else as well, but it won't stop.
Is there another Exit area ??
Maybe I did something out of the order. I do not know.
The only thing I did not find is the 'Bedroom Key', but since I got my 'Payment' it should not matter, does it?
Where is that key located?
Another issue:
So, while moving around the entire map once more I found the 'Firepowder' in the mansion and recalled that I should burn the instruction letter.
So I dropped the letter and in an attempt to use the powder on it, I picked it up again (!) by accident.
Result: mission not failed, but busted !
Because the following objective appears again unchecked in my objectives: 'Once you've got it, meet Lamaarz back by the Tavern.'
That guy is long dead and I had been there already, so now there is no chance at all to get this mission ever finished.
Edit:
I resumed a previous save where everything is still OK and found the bedroom key.
Unlocked the bedroom, burned the note using the powder and headed for the Exit. Still no luck.

The second issue looks like a bug. Did you get the first issue before the second issue or after? To exit the mission, you need to head to a wooden gate near the back entrance.

Yes, I got the issue with the mission not completing before messing with the letter.
And heading to the wooden gate does not do the trick for me.

@Gnartsch
Sorry for the problems. I've got a new version in the works that addresses the papyrus bug. Would you be able to PM me a save of the mission refusing to end? That one has me scratching my head, to be honest.

AntiMatter_16, Thanks for the FM. I had fun playing it. I was just shy of 1000 loot, playing on expert.
I did have to resort to a hint though. The part where you have to go back to the apartment to read a book to trigger a script was not intuitive. I usually don;t expect a room to change after I have searched it already. What was the incentive to go back up there? Sorry, I just did not get that hint.
Since I did not get the hint (and key) I went up the well and banged on the gate until a guard came and opened it. I was then in a sort of limbo without the mansion key. After getting the hint, I restarted then game and played it normally.
Question: Is there any advantage to burning the note? In one save, I threw it into the Hammer furnace, but in my completed game I still had it on me (I did not burn it).

Forget my problems with the objectives.
It is now obvious to me that I had messed up my Thief install by not reading the 'DromED Basic 1.13' readme when applying it a while ago.
I think that explains a lot.

Thanks for this nice mission with some genuine Thief feeling.

Okay, I've wandered through what seems like most of the map, yet I haven't found the Pagan gem. Any idea where it is? Perhaps it's in some secret area I just didn't notice?

Need to
look up right at the start.
Good little mission :thumb:
Is there a definite trigger for the
Firepowder? I played the mission a couple of times but the Firepowder only appeared once - but after I had already dropped the note in the factory furnace so I never got to try it out? Is it always in the same place?
