@Random_Taffer and MrMunkeepants: Many thanks. I assume there's a secret switch that allows me access to the warehouse (or the attic in the isolated building to the side of the main one)?
There's no need, you can just open the window and go in.

This mission felt very realistic to me. The design of the house and grounds, the patrol paths, the atmospheric touches. I really felt like I was tiptoeing around that house. Very satisfying to weave around the guards, although Willy busted me a few times by showing up unexpectedly. I finished on Hard and completed Ratteson's contracts. Replaying on Expert for more loot and the optional sidequest mentioned in the readme. Thanks Random_Taffer!

I
heard a ghostly cry and then the door on deck opens... I also picked up the scroll on the dude's lap, maybe that needs to be done too.I couldn't actually get the torches lit, that might be the problem. Is there more than one fire arrow (or a flare) available?

just
frob the window and mantle up. I spent a long time hunting for an entrance, too

Yeah, the entrance to the warehouse is not immediately obvious. Deceptively simple, really.

One (or more?) of the fireplaces in the main building have those, once you put them out.

Anyway, I've completed it (including the
2 bonus objectives, don't think there are more).
2647 out of 2682 in loot, all 4 secrets found, and a cozy good time to be had. A job well done, Random_Taffer! Btw, this was also my first introduction to your missions, I'll be checking out more of Conall in the near future :)

Could I have a gentle hint for how to open the locked tomb? I think I am looking for an old key (and possibly Wharfmaster Sidon) in "the bowels of the house" but don't know where to start. Playing on Expert.
EDIT: Nevermind, found it!

Thank you for this mission Random_Taffer! I will play it later today.
It's a good thing that someone remembered the 25th anniversary of Thief2... we should have had an FM building contest for that occasion. I hope we will have one for the 30th.

Enjoyed the mission, thanks Random_Taffer. It took me an age to find one key - particularly annoying because a) It was in one of the first places I ventured into and b) It wasn't particularly hard to find in that room meaning I should've seen it.
I've yet to find the third item of evidence but I'll keep looking. I've only got 3/4 secrets so maybe the 4th secret will lead me to the evidence.

Great little mission. Enjoy a bit of forced sneaking!
However, would like a couple of hints on the whereabouts of the Eye of the Sea. (A previous post says it's in the master bedroom. But, no luck as yet. also the tomb key,
Not sure I've found any secrets yet.
Thanks

There is a scroll that mentions not touching a statue in Master Willey's bed room, but couldn't find any statues in there. Is this a full size statue or is it a loot item that I might have picked up already?
I misread the scroll, and found the statue already. :o

Spoiler for bedroom: If you have unlocked the box in the bedroom look inside for a switch. I was crouched so it was easier to see
