This is probably the best mission I've played this year. Well done, Gaetane!

[Yandros]

I second that, this is a fabulous mission that ranks right up there with Ominous Bequest and Rowena's Curse.
The first three missions in the set were great, but this one is even better.

Nickie, how'd you find this when it hasn't been announced yet?

[nickie]

Went to thiefmissions to look for other missions by someone or other and found it sitting there just waiting for me! It had yesterday's date on it. Sorry, have I jumped the gun?

P.S. It's fantastic!

[The_Dude]

That's odd, it's not on the front page. Jason can't have got around to updating it I presume.

[marycwmbach]

Wow, this is great. I've a ton of things to do, so better not start yet. I mean gotta play the mission first.

[gaetane]

Effectively, Jason had no time, I presume, to put it in front page of its site, but the fm is ready to be played

This fm is the continuation and last part of L'Arsene's serie.

Oh la la, my heart is dancing a rock'n roll in my breast!
I hope you'll enjoy it

[Eshaktaar]

There's only one thing that needs to be said: PLAY IT NOW!

[shadows]

This is a most excellent mission! Gaetane you've out done yourself.

I been playing for 3 hours now and done a lot, but now i am stuck! need some help (spoilers ahead!)i have the safe key, the prison key, bourriques apartment key, explored the prison and most if not all the fortress. found 3 of the stones. i have the map, got many secrets. i can't get into the forbidden area, which i think is where i need to go next. thanks.

[gaetane]

spoiler:

Look for in the Bourrique's appartment, you'll find the Arsene's appartments key

[mol]

EXCELLENT! Thank you, Gaëtane!

I've been looking forward to this for a long time.

[maloo]

i must be blind i can't find the key

This happens everytime

spoiler:

i find it right away, think high

[shadows]

Thanks gaetane for the clue, but stuck again... i need a 'stone face', i used a skull but that didn't work, used the 5 stones, neither did that... a clue please anyone?

Maloo,

try frobbing everything and you'll find it

[gaetane]

spoiler:

Your are in the chapel isn'it ? Find a statue head and put it before the eyes of the beast

[dirtyoldman]

shadows: Have a closer look at the STONE statues
giveaway:

spoiler:

One of them has its head separately so you can carry it away

But now for my problem:

spoiler:

I've activated all but the "touch" ward. As far as I understand the clues I'm supposed to touch the four crystals in the order shown by the clock in the dining room, starting from where the hand is. Frobbing doesn't seem to work.

Am I missing a special item???

[nil8hate]

YAY GAETANE!!!! i am so happy to find this today!!! was thinking this morning, hmmm, how come there are no fm's being released over this holiday? there always seems to be one to pull me outta the holiday funk! and voila!! wooooo hoooo...my heart is thumping in my chest! here is a big fat thank you kiss just for you!!! i love your fms...so not only do i get an fm this weekend...i get a Gaetane fm!!! i do not usually gush so much...but it so well deserved!

but i do not get to play until later! till then!

[gaetane]

spoiler:

You don't need item for the touch riddle. Try again and place yourself before the hand and touch the crystals in the order indicate on the clock

[Steelman]

Can anyone give me a hint as to where the bourrique apartment key is?

[Nightwalker]

This is a fantastic FM and right up there with the very best of the best, in my opinion. Definitely one that you shouldn't miss out on. Thanks, Gaetane!

[ffox]

Steelman: Have you read the note in Doc's rooms?

[Steelman]

Yeah, and

spoiler:

Flipped the candle holder, but I don't know what it did

and I still can't find the key

[maloo]

spoiler:

check out under where the key was

[Tuska]

I cant get out of the cell
What to do?

[dirtyoldman]

Thx Gaetane, finished with 7 of 10 secrets found It will be a pleasure returning and trying to find all.

Tuska: Frob around in the pile of rubbish just outside your cell door. A tiny rat bone should do the trick

[shadows]

Tuska,

Clue:
just outside your cell, a ratbone, use it on the lockbox to your right
