Started with this one. I've got to the warehouse and used the mold to get the mage's bracelet. However, I am now left with no clue where to go next. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

@nicked: back to the place where you got the poker.

On Expert. I can't even find the Mages' Guild novice or his poker. I've been inside the opera house, only 2 people in there look like mages, one dressed in red and one in pale blue, but neither has a poker.

Marbrien check out the opera house guests, one of them a male guess on the upper level IIRC has the poker

I just finished this FM (the first of so many!). As expected from the author, full of surprises and challenging at times. And by challenge I mean the good type of challenge, not the "search for this tiny switch in the place that you least expect it in order to progress" type of challenge. Didn't manage to find all the loot or secrets, but will surely come back to it later and look more thoroughly. What I like the most about this FM is how it uses some of the most neglected themes in fan missions (Mages, warehouse, and one of my favorites: an opera house). It also uses some Thief 2 mechanics despite being a TG FM (well, duh). Definitely recommended :thumb:

OK, I'm stuck.
I have the poker and the readable with the mage's poem.
Where do I melt the poker into its correct form and where do I use the poker, once so melted? I've explored the opera house, including the area behind the stage, and found nothing to use the poker on.
Thanks in advance.

Update: Figured it out. Search the warehouse complex, far away from the opera house, for a place to melt the poker.

@prjames Exit the opera house and you should witness a cutscene. A new way is open for you. You should find where to melt the poker there. Once you made it, go back to where you found it.
