I absolutely liked this mission. It is definately my favourite so far from the contest.
There are still some missions left for me to play, so I can't say its the top mission for me yet, but it definately is a strong contender.

From one of the gargoyles, it's a relatively easy jump to the other tower.Honestly I tried doing that jump so many times, but I just couldn't reach the place. I'll have another go at it, I think I left a save slot on that point lol.

IMPORTANT: An update to Feast of Pilgrims is now ready which addresses the crash issue a few people were having. It is highly recommended that you download the update. If you are currently playing the mission, you can continue but your saves may become corrupted if your session goes over 3 hours or so. To take advantage of the fix, you will have to start a new game after installing the updated version.

Big thanks to Marbrien and Arrowgrab! Your saves were instrumental in finding the root of the problem. :)

Won't put it in spoilers as it's a general Thief trick and not FM-specific: are you trying with a diagonal jump?
Normally, you point yourself towards the target, move forward as fast as possible (which would typically mean the run forward key), and jump, mantling on the other side as needed. However, you can squeeze a bit more distance out of your jump. Orient yourself so that the target is not directly ahead but a bit to the side (experiment with the exact angle), then simultaneously press down the run forward key along with the appropriate sidestep, then jump when you're at the edge. While in the air, you'll probably need to turn a bit to mantle correctly.
This trick can be used in quite a few old first-person games to get more movement speed (or, as in this case, better jump distance) due to the way many games calculated movement within the coordinate system of a level.

Glad I could help!

If you don't want to diagonal jump, you can also use a speed potion.
This is only an extra sort of "out of bounds area." We figured we might as well reward players with a weapon and gag line if they could make it up there, but you're not really missing much else besides the view.

Yes, thank you both, I reached the place by doing a diagonal jump or strafe jump before checking for replies in the thread, I don't know why it never occurred to me before to try that lol. I also thought of a speed potion, but I never found one, I surely missed it somewhere.

I'm missing two items for the "side quests". Where I can find the gear for the mechanist inventor and a body part from the monker (monkey). I think it is the head, which is needed. Any hints would be highly appreciated.

The gear can be found with Vedast, the crazy rambling mechanist in the ruined tower not far from Butcher Bill's. The monker head is in the circular Mage tower where you got the mysterious note.
