Whew! Just finished after 3 days! Well, total mission time wasn't THAT long (3 hours), but I paced myself. This is now one of my favorites, and for a complex, puzzle mission I didn't find myself in this thread as often as I thought I would. I was actually compelled to find (most) everything on my own. Congradulations Lady Rowena, on this truly unique FM, and nice touch with the bonus objective, very thoughtful.
5 out of 8 secrets, found the Horn but could get at it, reading through some of these posts I've realized it's a bug.
Another bug that I've noticed other people running into are arrows sticking in mid-air. I've only had this problem with fire-arrows not broadheads though.
[SPOILER]I got my fire arrow stuck in the gunpowder barrel about 8 or 9 times before it finally blew up. [/SPOILER] :cheeky:
Lady Rowena, don't get disheartened by these bugs. In a few months people will remember this mission for its difficulty, atmosphere, story and creativity and not by some bugs that can be fixed by Rowena's Curse v1.1 (no pressure!)
Anyways, great fm, hope to see more from you in the future!

Good Job! Brava Lady Rowena!
Your mission is a dramatic turn of mysterical events, great weft and thrilling gameplay.
I found very fascinating the added pictures of some artists, good selection, in particular I love the amazing Torture of Marsia by Tiziano... and... the beautiful photo portrait of Lady Leah-Rowena.
You make honor for the small Italian community
Indimenticabile la descensus Averni!

finished, still stumped on loot, although i know theres alot of none frobbale loot, and secrets still got me stumped 3 out of 8, now either my counter broke or theres alot of secrets i missing which could account for missing loot. maybe lady rowena will post loot through and secret locations in future. but i'm stumped. anyway i'm on to bed.

But to be honest if you come into a thread for a new FM there are bound to be spoilers whether specific or subtle. The one about the bonus objective, of course, which Lady Rowena asked us
in this thread NOT to give spoilers for! Geez.

wild_inferno, if you send me an email, I can send you a loot list, courtesy of Peter Smith, of the loot that IS available in this version, as well as the secrets. There's plenty to finish on Expert, but some of it is pretty easy to miss. :)

I did finally finish this one on expert. Lady Rowena - That was one hell of a ride! :cheeky: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: I say this one goes down in the fm history books as one of the more original and well thought out fms of all time.
My stats were weak : just made the loot obj (I was about 1500 short from total) and only 2 out of 8 secrets. :o
One of the highlights was when I was descending into "Hell" by daughter commented "Dad, you seem so cool and controlled". Maybe on the outside, but inside my heart was going at least 160 and my palms were getting sweaty. That [SPOILER]drum drum drum sound[/SPOILER] was the thing that made it so bad. Also know I had to ghost as much as possible due to the fact 1. [SPOILER]there were at least 8 demons within hearing range if I killed on of them[/SPOILER] and 2. [SPOILER]very few places to hide other than the beggining and at the bottom of the pit.[/SPOILER]
I think I will wait for the update before I attempt to find more secrets. Great Job by the author... This one is definitely at 10.

Originally posted by Nightwalker stevo, I've heard from Lady Rowena and she is definitely working on a "fixed" version. I have no idea when it will be ready for release, though. This is a mission that I will be quite happy to play through again and probably many times in the future. Simply wonderful in all respects! Thanks, Nightwalker. Since I'm an FM-newbie and have so many other FMs to play, I'll wait for the patched version.

forgive me for being stupid, but what is the Sacristy? ive never heard that word b4.
i plrbly been there but id like to know what it is to make sure.
btw im still trapped in hell i killed about 4 demons at top. does anyone know if they can be blackjacked?

From (
http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary) Merriam-Webster sacristy: a room in a church where sacred vessels and vestments are kept and where the clergy vests.
As for BJ the demons, I never tried! They sound like haunts so I just assumed they'd react to the same things. I killed most of them one time and the second time, crept past most of them without being noticed. It's the tensest part of an FM that I've come across in a long time. Very good atmosphere!
Jabberwocky on 14/6/2003 at 02:21
My foolhardy arse tried to blackjack them. Save your internal organs, it dosn't work.
