Really? :)

I typo'd my own mission name. I shall never recover from the shame of it. :(

Hi Nick - I started playing Behind Closed Doors, the first one I've played in over a year. I never thought I'd enjoy a mission that wasn't in dark and gritty, but I am loving this one - and PINK??!!!! Whoever thought I would love the pinkness of it! The letter to the real estate agent is a hoot, making me laugh right out loud. So many things to complement you on here, but I want to get back to it, so just saying congratulations on a mission beautifully crafted!

I've been trying to recall where I found the jewels/gems stolen by the magpies (on Expert). Here's what I can remember so far (NB no. 8 may be a false positive).

I must still be at least one gem short, because the Objective (saying I have found them all) has not yet appeared. Any clues please?

1. On window ledge above sloping roof over Lady Miranda's front door.
2. In alcove above air vent on west side of Estate Agent's building (above Dogbone Alley).
3. On window ledge of Watch Station, near boundary with Lady Miranda's house.
4. On ledge above Boltgrime Lane, east side.
5. On very high ledge, Boltgrime Lane, west side (almost exactly opposite 4, but higher up).
6. Window ledge to the east of the open window above the north side of Taker's Rise.
7. On ledge above north end of Boltgrime Lane, near gate into Truckle Row.
8. On ledge to the south and west of the Eldridge Estate. [There's a flower pot there. But was there a gem in it?]
9. Gastrule's Offices, above window set into the roof, second from right window (as viewed from the front).
10. Window ledge above the alley to the north west of The Stag.
11. On the roof of shed on top of the City Electric building.
12. Highmarket Bank, north side, upper level of exterior columns, at foot of west-most column.
13. In the hand of the statue on top of the Court House.

(Got myself up to 7717 loot in the process.)

Yes, your number 8 isn't a nest - but check out the Museum for the last one.

Thanks for the tip Sagittal. The complete list of gem/jewel nests (on Expert, at least) is as follows.

1. On window ledge above sloping roof over Lady Miranda's front door.
2. In alcove above air vent on west side of Estate Agent's building (above Dogbone Alley).
3. On window ledge of Watch Station, near boundary with Lady Miranda's house.
4. On ledge above Boltgrime Lane, east side.
5. On very high ledge, Boltgrime Lane, west side (almost exactly opposite 4, but higher up).

10. On the roof of shed on top of the City Electric building.
11. Highmarket Bank, north side, upper level of exterior columns, at foot of west-most column.
12. In the hand of the statue on top of the Court House.
13. Highmarket Museum, above the upper ledge, east side, in a crevice between the Museum and the adjacent building whose window gives you access to that ledge.

Yes, number 8 is only a key. The missing gem is on the highest roof of Highgate Museum.
On the other hand, you must have found a serpentyle torc (worth 350) somewhere deep down - the only piece I'm missing. Do you remember where it was? Thanks:)

Edit: oops, I seem to be too slow to respond....

I don't think I have found that torc. I'm now on 7742 loot, so still missing some somewhere!

csamba on 12/2/2017 at 16:58

Thanks :)
However, since the total is 7882 you may not have missed anything worth 350. Perhaps it is something else of the same value, just showing up in TTLL with that name...

Tannar - Thanks for the feedback! ...

Thanks for the explanations, nicked. I understand what you were going for, and you certainly succeeded with the austerity, and the rats, my comments aside. And I understand about the short piece of fence, thought perhaps it could have been done with just a high fence that wasn't electrified. But no matter, that a minor niggle. Btw, I forgot to mention how much I loved the music. All of it was superb, but I especially liked the one with the horns.

Thanks! I was missing the one on the Estate Agent's place.

greenie2600 - this really sounds like it's not installed right. T-pose AI generally means the game hasn't loaded the default scripts. Are you using FMSel or Darkloader, and do you get the same issue in any other fan missions?

I'm using FMSel 1.1.2.

It's probably an issue with my setup - I noticed some oddities with FMSel. I guess I'll troubleshoot...

ETA: Yep; somehow I ended up with two installations of Thief. I guess FMSel was looking at the wrong one. Everything seems to be good now!
