Causes of Failure:
1. Could not sneak to the altar in the chapel without alerting at least one mech priest
2. Could not sneak by masked mechanist guarding way to crypt/dining room.
Comments - Regardless of difficulty, all loot in this mission must be taken to fulfill the 1000 requirement. The only loot I had trouble finding was 2 loose coins on the floor in front of some pews in the chapel. I could not sneak through the chapel with two patrolling mech priests. Once I picked the chapel key from the priest, he would get stuck in the door. I could use this to my advantage by locking the door behind me as I went into the chapel, but the illuminated interior and mech priestess inside conspired against me - I had no chance of ghosting it. Dafydd mentioned in the FM's TTLG thread that he couldn't ghost the chapel either.
-I had another issue with the mechanist guarding the way to the crypt and dining room. If I could have ghosted the chapel, I would try harder to deal with the mechanist guard. Over his head was a gas light and I could not enter the area with the guard without dousing the light. I should have been able to lean left while hiding behind the open door and douse the light, but it just wasn't working out for me.
-I had no trouble staying in the darkness of the door frame in the dining room and dousing the gas light in front of the watcher. I could also sneak by the patrolling mech upstairs in the barracks if I stayed to her left flank as she turns.
-Dousing the four gas lights in the lobby is essential, but sometimes dousing them puts the combat bot or mech priest on 2nd alert. I had to moss the marble section of the floor, wait for everyone to exit the lobby, and then run up to the switch controlling the gas lights. That way I wouldn't have to douse them with water.
-Owing to my two ghost busts earlier, I gave up sneaking and KOed just about everyone.
