A Thief's Holiday 2004 - Cheat Sheet (Spoilers)

General Gameplay Hints

Generally, you use many objects in the mission as “tools”, that is, you use them on other objects.
For example, to light the fire, you should find the matchbox and then frob the fireplace log with it.

On Expert, you'll want to find the rope arrow as soon as possible to make getting into the rafters and up
on the roof easier (although the mission can be completed on Expert without the rope arrow!)

Rope arrow location: Stuck on the pantry wall in the kitchen, to the left of the fireplace.
To get to it, go up the ladder, walk to the edge, look down and grab it.
