In the same vein, one of my favourite FMs is Hit Deity's <a href="http://www.thiefmissions.com/info.cgi?m=tiesbind">Ties That Bind</a>, which was made for one of the early Komag contests. It's a short, compact "door to door" city-mission with delightfully whimsical objectives (fulfil each of your fiancée's quixotic demands!), and well worth a look if you haven't played it already.

Oh forgot about that one Vigil, thanks. Been *AGES* since I've played that one. Will do that again! Thanks. :) I guess Morrgans FM hit a good spot with me. I love the whimsy of it. :->

It does make a change of pace NOT having to save the world. A light FM means i can taff around and not even bother with objectives i can just call it a day if i feel like it! :p

Just finished on expert setting:
1022 out of 1022 in loot....
found both secrets...
and finished both Bonus and Optional objectives
33 mins 55 secs
If only this were longer...I loved it! This is my favorite type of mission: one with plenty of areas to get into, and set in a city. Thank you so much, Morrgan.

Need some help in locating it. I searched the
baths but still can't seem to find it. Am I warm?
Did you find it, yet?
If not:
One of the ladies must have lost an item while bathing.Out right spoiler:
Look in the pool next to the steaming pool of water and get the ring.pwl on 3/3/2008 at 00:29
This was a very enjoyable mission but I wished it had been longer!! The setting and town layout was great:thumb:

This is a nice little mission. The design is top notch. Your artistry wasn't too rusty. :thumb:
Sad to hear about the discontinuation of the Greyfeather Gems finale. I only hope you reconsider. I'll be a holdout till my compatible hardware dies. (Though, if you are still designing missions at this point, perhaps the Dark Mod would be best...)

Absolutely top-notch, in ambience, architecture, climbing opportunities, shadows... however, what really made me laugh was the automap and Garrett's doodle on the 'Notes' page. That's an absolute classic. :laff:

Well, I must be like the dumbest, most stupid, most useless, slowest Thief player on the planet. Been through this entire thread and don't think anyone really got stuck, everyone sailed through in 30 minutes (unless they are keeping quiet about it or still playing.) That is really crushing.
After three hours on expert I am over 200 short of loot and no secrets. Enjoyed it very much so far but can't go blindly round any more times. I have found some ingenious, difficult-to-find places that would have made great secrets - but weren't. One involved a 3 crate climb on top of a wall and gave the best vista of the skyline. If the sky floor had been finished and a railing put in it would have been a valid location imo. But no secret, no loot. No clues but 2 or 3 readables that I think (hope) are just for fun. I'd hate to study them anymore and find they are just for fun. I don't mind not finding secrets but can't finish without loot. I can check the Klatremus' loot list but then for me it's kinda pointless just to go and get it.
What does the pub kitchen griddle open? I blind frobbed it and it sounded like a portcullis as it went down. Then I searched and searched but couldn't find anything open. The posters and main objective by comparison were straightforward and the mission so far seems completely ghostable with no KOs or water or moss essential. There is one high long fenced balcony on the east side I didn't reach but it looked empty from across the way. 2 crates not enough. Guess I could try more but it really does not look promising.
Think I'll just put this down as one of my 'failures but probably would have succeeded on easy or hard.' list. That'll teach me not to think I'm an expert.
But apart from my disappointment, this is an awesome mission and I can only admire every aspect as pure inspired genius. :thumb:
