TDP20AC Mission — The Scarlet Cascabel (11/30/2018)

Tommyph1208 on 15/1/2019 at 21:28

I need a bit of help guys... I completed mission 1 with I think 32xx loot and started the second mission... Got chrashes when using grese on the door, came here and found out there is a new version of the mission. I downloaded that, mde backups of my savegames (or so I thought), uninstlled the mission nd installed the new version... Thing is, apparently in my haste and tired mind I only ever made an empty folder for the save backups, but never actually backed up the files (I know.... fail...).
Now, I can just end the first mission using the ctrl+alt+shift+end command, and I'll be perfectly fine with just starting over in the second mission, however, that'll only give me 500 gold to spend in the shop before the mission....
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to provide myself w. some more gold, or if all of the extra equipment is even needed in the mission? (it didn't immediatly seem like I would have any use for it, I think I only encountered a single guard before getting the crash)

Finished 1st mission :) I was expecting a little introduction to - as I presume - main mission #2, but actually it is 'full metal jacket' mission :D Very well designed with superb feeling. Only one objective at the beginning evolved into quite a nice adventure that met me :D

Found 4095/4120, zero blackjacks, 3 spiders killed ;P Cheatty stats says 2h 27min, but took me 3h 18min, because of traffic on streets ;) For 3/4 of the time didn't realize some guards and civilians on street are friendly :D

I almost lost my 'Sack of Gear' in ancient grave/catacomb :D At first I was use it as a weight, because didn't see a rock at the end of the corridor ;D When I was find 2 fire arrows in my inventory, used them on ground-torches, but... like nothing happened (?) I was expecting some spectacular fourth gem appearing or something... (?) :/ I heard standard "red-button-click" when Fire Arrows touched the targets. Is it really nothing more but the light in the tomb? ;) When I was on the other side back again, I realized I forgot my "Sack of Gear"... :DD

As one coin in "Shadow Play", this time probably single vase or goblet is my challenge ;D Of course don't tell me WHAT that is ;) All I need is what GGG-ingredients I missed? Could You tell me? All I found is: Gold: 2895, Gems: 495, Goods: 705

Mission 1 [spoiler]safe deposit box...where?[/spoiler]

Hi Sly! The safety deposit box is in the building just north of the fountain. That is, assuming you already have the key to open it that you got from Lash's house.

Very glad you enjoyed the mission! Also glad that you mentioned the "sack of gear" in the temple. That's something we never considered, but will give it some thought for the revision that will be released later. Regarding the "ground-torches" in the temple, yes, all they do is give light. They were intended to open another passage, but there wasn't time to finish that building before the contest deadline, so for now they just give light. That may change in the revision, though.

Not sure what you are missing in loot, but there is one coin stack that cannot be obtained if you're playing on Expert. It is in a locked footlocker in the tavern. That footlocker is not locked on lower difficulty levels. There are some nuggets near the waterfall that can be easy to miss.

Thanks pb. I thought I'd been in every building. Must have missed it. :o

I haven't found what the lever does in the dumbwaiter. I hear a door open/close but have no idea where it is.

Me too. Any hints?
