Loved the mission, great everything! One little bug I found, if you go into the secret room in the lord's bedroom before doing anything else, upon completing all the objectives the mission just instantly finishes. So I was looking for more loot and found the masks in the entrance hall, and grabbed one and got over 2400 loot and got the mission complete sound and it ended.

Glad you enjoyed it! It seems that particular bug only occurs sometimes. It didn't happen during testing, but it did happen to me some of the time when playing the mission later.
Anyway, thanks for playing! :)

I'm missing 100 in loot, any idea where it may be? I got the loot from the box on the bed, the ring by the window, the mask on the statue and the glasses under the bench.
Read here about 6 bottles... all in the same place? if so then where?
Great mission! Really enjoyed it :)

I've emailed you a loot list so you can find your mission loot. :)

Thank you Nightwalker!
I already knew the loot list and it didn't help, but this time I decided to try even harder and I found out what was the problem - there is a mistake in the list!
On the main floor it lists a ring in the NE windowsill, but the ring is in the south windowsill! It's the same side as the spectacles that is under bench.
Thank you for the help and for the mission - I had real fun playing it :D

That would be my fault. Sorry about that! One of the reasons that I always try to get someone else to work on walkthroughs with me is that I tend to mix my directions up. I never realized I had a problem with it until I started doing loot lists, etc. I'll fix my copy at least. Ricebug checks my stuff over before he puts them in his Hint Books but he must have missed this error. I'll get it fixed for future downloads.

What a gem this mission was! Don't know how I managed to miss it all these years. Thanks, downwinder, for bringing this back to the top of the list!
As a new author, I find missions like this one particularly inspiring, since it's gorgeous and fun, but doesn't feel daunting. There's nothing in the mission that makes me think "man, I could *never* accomplish that in DromEd!" The architecture is simple, but very elegant and artistic, and there didn't seem to be a ton of technical wizardry in the guts of it. And despite it's small stature (both in terms of cubic units, and file size), the mission is packed with thiefy goodness, and kept me engaged and entertained for well over an hour :) Great story telling, and artistic design choices: yum!
My only gripe with the whole mission was the difficult to spot lever in the Hammerite's room. Despite knowing approximately where to look, I spent roughly 10 minutes frobbing blindly. Funnily enough (though perhaps unsurprisingly), this mirrors my only gripe with Random_Taffer's more recent mission, Godbreaker. I guess hard to find levers are just his style? :)
(I guess my other gripe with Godbreaker would be that it was *incredibly* daunting, from a DromEd perspective. But that's not really a gripe---just awe, mixed with a dash of envy :P)
