Version 1.1 to 1.2 update: very minor change. The Talisman of Death was frobbable if the rosary was blessed even if the gate was still closed. This was a problem that I thought I had fixed during beta testing after Sluggs found it. However I must have "unfixed" it by mistake. My gamesys change was there and ready, but the object properties were somehow wrong again. Also, the 1.2 version file name is correct v1.2, but the readme file still says 1.1, this was an oversight, as long as the file name is correct the mission should be fine. If I issue a version 1.3 i'll correct that as well.
Version 1.0 to 1.1 update: turns out that a small bug prevents the mission from finishing in version 1.0 if the bonus objective is not complete. In version 1.1 the objective is set to optional as well. If you have version 1.0 you'll either have to skip the bonus objective (don't read the elixir of life scroll) or complete the objective.
A fence came to me with a request. A collector is looking for an ancient artifact, The Talisman of Death. Trouble is that its being kept by a local Hammerite monastery. Seems the Hammerites fear the talisman and keep it under pretty close guard. The last couple of thieves to go after this one were never heard from again.
It’s a tough job, but nothing is impossible for the greatest thief in the world. While I’m there I should look for a few other artifacts. The Sword of the Builder should bring a good price, magical swords always do. These Hammerites are also known to have a secret fighting technique. If I could find a copy of their fighting manual it could be valuable.

I've only just started this but it certainly has the wow factor. Jason has an uncannily fine eye for design and detail. it's jaw-droppingly beautiful with oodles of custom stuff but I couldn't help laughing at thespoiler:hammers with the rice paddy hats on.
If it plays as well as it looks this is going to be special.

I've only just started playing this and already, I'm having a hoot with this mission.
This is one of those missions thats completely different to what one would expect.
And since I just started...
Does Garrett learn to 'karate chop' when he gets a certain item???
Congrats, Jason! This is a beautifully crafted mission and great fun to play. I'm sure everyone will love it, especially the oriental Hammer twist!
Oh by the way, for those of you who don't frequent the Editor's Guild, Otto's announcing his own contest mission because it was the only entry I received, so I had to cancel the contest.
I look at Otto's screens and it makes me want to pitch my work in the bin.
I know, I know...work harder! I am, I am.
Got to get my next project out the door and then I'm nabbing this puppy.
Big thanks Jason!!! Downloading now!
I know the feeling, but I had an epiphany the other day while walking around this mission. I accepted the fact that I'll never build a mission with architecture this amazing, and decided to concentrate my attention on my strengths instead of engaging in the futile exercise of trying to perfect my weaknesses.Originally Posted by SlyFoxx

Sorry, everyone back to the mission!
Oh I hear you there...so that's what I'm doing. Plus I've enlisted a secret weapon to test besides the usual suspects............I decided to concentrate my attention on my strengths instead of engaging in the futile exercise of trying to perfect my weaknesses.
Who, this guy?
Araraggh....I HATE those kinds of movies. Saw the original Friday the 13th on Friday the 13th....June of like '81 or something. Later that night...worst thunder storm you ever saw....scarred me for life!
F-U for bringing back old memories!
Looks fantastic ! I'll have to find some time this weekend to try it.
God I love the title
- I know kung-fu
- show me !
\o/
How does one go about with getting the ingredients for "love potion #9?" I looked everywhere
Also...
With regards to ending the level, I did what I needed and returned to the start. It did not tick off for me.
Yes me to, I have all objectives except bonus objective and returned to the start did not tick off.
Amazing mission
Hey JIS, you do need to play it.
the ingredients
spoiler:are hidden in crates through the monastery. you'll have to random smash to find them all, but the potion isn't needed, you can finish it without the potion. this is so that ghosters don't have to make all that noise smashing things.
i generally use the potion to
spoiler:1. get the sword without turning off the generators
2. get the talisman of death without finding myself some holy protection
and thats all i'm saying. i checked my copy and the mission ended when i entered the start area with all objectives ticked, could anyone with this problem send me a save file so i can see what might be going on.
Jason, see e-mail.
The screens look very nice.Thanks for that FM!
I found all the ingredients. Finished.
Great mission
Am I the only one missing the carry piccies????
Wow! Really...WOW!
Apart from anything else (& everything else is great) your missions keep looking more & more stunning
However, one objective doesn't seem to want to tick off -spoiler:have all 3 novice disguises, but playing on Samurai I didn't want to get 'extra help'. Now left- or right- clicking on any of them in inventory doesn't do anything - & obj is untickedDid I need to put the 1st one on straightaway?
Anyway, still looking forspoiler:so I'll be at it for awhile yet...sword, manual & ingredients
Oh, & congrats on winning the contest
