Did you go into the House yet?

Did anyone actually finish this one? I got into the House - although I got stuck in the waterfall a bit and had to reload several times before it'd let me past that. :P
I got into the secret den, I dealt with the water eles (released them from behind the thingy, then killed them. . .I'm so mean, but they kept shooting at me!). . .and heard/saw the exploding frogs, read the stuff on the ark. . .but I could not return to the house, and none of my objectives cleared off. Nor could I find a way out. Was I caught by a bug or did I miss something?

Elentari,
[SPOILER]Did you find the key?
Look for a way out, you don't actually leave though.[/SPOILER]

Okay I know I am little late to give a review of this fm, but for a small fm this was well done. (just wish it was larger...or made larger post-contest at least).
Pros:
-awesome, beautiful, and fitting architecture, textures, decorations, objects, atmosphere
-storyline and background are well written, and at least to me very interesting and enjoyable (here's probably why)
-the mission is not only about the elemental mages, but furthermore the mage is of the element of water (favorite of the four elements for me)
-secrets/loot well placed but still required some finding to get, gameplay very good (albeit short) and no annoying parts
-few bugs (excluding the wandering fish) for a first fm
-good use of limited space and other contest limitations
cons:
-mission is still rather small....unavoidable I know, but I still would like to mention it
-the fact that there is no follow up mission yet or an updated/expanded version of this one :erg: (I know that is not really a con)
-elementals might should be less agressive towards player and shouldn't shoot fire :p ...again time constraints probably limited the customization of this part of the mission
-guard gets caught on stairs, could use a free elementals objective (at least as a bonus or optional object)
Overall: Loved it! The level design, story, background, art were all awesome looking and definitely one of my favorite FMs. Also this was amazing for a first mission no matter how much tips/assistance you recieved or objects provided (the objects may have been made by someone else but you choose those that were used), and I hope to see more this great work including expanding this current storyline.
Suggestions for improvement: expand level, more guards, more readables (not too many though), fix the few errors in fm currently, continue storyline with future missions (surely, "Noah" isn't going to just give up that easily).
:thumb: I give this 2 thumbs up. :thumb:

Man, I am missing 10 loot off of the total...:erg:
Nightwalker on 24/1/2007 at 04:10
There was 10g. I never found either so if you locate it, would you let me know please? :D

DromEd is your friend: :D
Chance are you're missing a gem ring (5, 5, 0) in the fountain just inside the front doors. If you come in the front doors, it's on your left hand side, towards the far side of the fountain.

That's it! Thank you very much! :D

I looked and clicked in that fountains several times, but never found that ring before. Well now I have taken all the loot. :cheeky: Thanks.

I finally got around to playing the water contest missions, and so far I've only finished AKA Noah. Despite a fair number of bugs and sometimes vague objectives, I enjoyed the mission for its atmosphere and excellent story (the writing is outstanding).
Got a question though: what is the blue key at the end used for? I finished all the objectives and found nothing.
