FM: Damsel in Distress

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.thief-dark-project (More info?)

Just completed this FM but I have a question. Is there more than one way
into the mansion? The readme file would seem to suggest that there is some
sort of secret passage but I couldn't find it. In the end, I had to launch a
frontal assault on the building starting with blowing up the mechanical eye
with a fire arrow and then using various tools and weapons to take out the
mechanists. Obviously this is a very cack handed and un-thieflike way of
doing things but I simply could not find any other way.

Yes, there's another way in. Did you get down into the underground tunnels
with the funny, sparkly creatures floating around? There's a way into the
mansion from the tunnel that is right under a sewer hatch up to the street.

Would those be the tunnels that the Mechanists were excavating? I never did
find those.

Ah yes, I've found it now. Looking back on it now the clue in the book was
quite obvious.

But sometimes the most fun! Nothing like running around in big circles
dropping mines/flash bomb behind you and turning around to see the
carnage unfold...

I couldn't agree more. It really is a great way to vent steam. By the time I
had finished, there was bodies of Mechanists strewn all over the place.
Absolute carnage.

Incidently, is it possible to kill the invisible demon thingies? I have
tried fighting one with my sword a few times and it did seem to get injured
but it always gets me. Bloody fast they are too.
