[spoiler]OK, it has been awhile since I have played this fan mission, but I know how to get to the door behind the banner by solving the statue puzzle.[/spoiler]
But there is another door with a sign by it that reads: "Authorized perrsonel only. See watch commander for entry." I cannot remember weather or not this door opens or is part of the game.I do not even know HOW to open it, if it is able to be opened.
Can someone shed some light on this door's function. It is NON FROBBABLE! But yet there is a sign by it. Like I said, it has been awhile since I have played this mission.
If you can open it...HOW do you open it exactly? It is the one on the fourth floor with the "death statue" by it.
Thanks in advance.
If the door is not Frobbable, then it is just a bit of detail and not intended to open.

[Spoiler] About the statue puzzle, hit the winged statue on the right first.[/SPOILER]

The latest version of Stronghold may have fixed those bugs. If not, I apologize.

The ending leaves room for a sequel. Too bad that never happened.
Actually, I have been thinking about doing a sequel to this if Thief 4 comes out with a good editor program. Writing the storyline should be fun. I would create a new weapon of power though. Perhaps a hammer that ...

Hey, all. After playing a few more FMs I decided to come back and replay my own. EGADS! It isn't easy, even for the author! I forgot so many things about it that it was like I've never played it. I must be getting old (54 now). I'm still pleased with it; although, I did notice some errors. There's a floating torch I thought I got rid of back in version 3. Hm. Well, I'm not doing a version 5, so, I will just explain it away by claiming that the floating torch is caused by the Shieldbreaker's sense of humor; since it is wandering around through it's proxy, firey, familiars and can do what it wants to freak people out. Yeah, I know, lame. LOL Addressing the issue of there being so much inventory I will have to say that all of the goodies are not necessarily needed, unless you want to bully and/or go invisible a lot. Also, I did notice that there is no button in the tree door to call up the elevator, but this was done intentionally so that people would have to use up their slow fall potions on the way down in order to survive the fall. I really don't want you to go this way. Thus, you have to get more slow-fall potion later in the game. It takes about 3 to 4 clicks of the slow fall potion to survive the fall. Then, if you want to come back up, there is an up button at the end of your fall. :angel: You will most likely have to use up some healing juice as well.

It's nice that you've come back and played your own mission after all these years! It was always a fun one that I've played several times myself in the past.

I would like to know if I updated the text information on the actual version 4. The question is, did I HAVE version four on my computer when I updated the text information. I know that sounds odd, but it is possible that (due to the many years that's passed and some computer issues over that time) I might have restored my computer to have only version 3. I'm just questioning the floating torch, since I thought I fixed that. If someone actually has the version 4 I uploaded years ago could you send me a link to download it from you so I can double check myself?

Strange to see this on the first page of the forum, because I just finished this mission about 5 minutes ago. I know it's an old mission, and there isn't really much to say, except JohnEric why not just go totally overboard and do a mission for each one of the eight (I think) swords? I really did try and ghost this thing but I gave up about halfway through and started knocking those suckers out.
Why is there not an emoticon of a happy face getting knocked over the head with a blackjack, it would've worked so beautifully at the end of the above paragraph.
