I finally beat Thief Gold a couple of days ago, what an incredible game. I don't think I've ever played one better (that's not saying to much since I've only played a couple of others)
I downloaded a few FMs soon after and started playing TOOTV. It's great, certainly rivals some of the original missions in terms of architecture and creativeness.
I've become stuck though. I can't figure out how to break into the treasury. I've found the hidden note, but I can't figure out what it means. I'm guessing the last line means I should press 1 on the elecric zap switch pad, but the first three lines are beyond me.
Could anybody give me a hint?

It's kind of hard to give a hint. The verse IS the hint. If you just want the code, highlight here: <font color=#f7f7f7> 3241 </font>

Well, you probably already read the exact code above, but the verse lines are just a riddle. Just take each one and figure what number it must be referring to. I played this mission a long time ago, but i remember the first line being something about a TREE, which is like THREE. The second line you just count the 0's, then you just think what a hammer looks like (is that the next one?), Aw heck, I can't remember

Thanks for the help.
I cheated and read the code in the hidden text, and the answer seemed so obvious afterwords.

Anyone know that 4 number passcode I need to raise the gate???(the one that gives you electric shocks if you err the passcode).
Wee wee....

theres a piece of papyrus in the same romm, hidden. I cant remember where and i cant be bothered re-downloading it to find out. I think it is either under the desk or behind a secret door in the wall behind the desk.

Here's the numbers, just in case you can't figure out the riddle. Highlight - <font style="color:white;background-color:white">3241</font>

Dang...I actually solved the riddle except on the 3rd digit.....why 4???

I guess it just finishes the sentence. I wasn't smart enough to solve it myself, but my husband took one look at it, and knew. "What am I writing this......for? (4).

This post contains a question I hope those of you who have completed The FM "The Order of the Vine" can help me with.
I'm in the big mansion and I have unlocked the treasury only to find out that the seal has been moved else where. My objective says; "find out who took the seal and steal it" or something like that. The problem is I can't find the thing! I've found three ancient stone keys (one gold, one silver and one brown) but I have no clue what to do with them... Where can I find the seal?
Help! Anybody? FMs are great but there should be more FM-walkthroughs out there for stupid people like myself.
